So I created these instructional videos to help newbies out with loading ROMs etc.
TO ADVANCED USERS: I know that these procedures are not new but the instructional videos have seemed to help a lot of newbies and I think it would benefit anyone weary of attempting these procedures.
Please don't post how this is old news, I am well aware. These are just for newbies to help them get started. It also should help eliminate newbies asking the same questions over and over as most are answered right under the videos, and I'm sure you'll appreciate that
MODERATOR: Please sticky or add to any tutorial threads for the sake of the newbies.
Hope this helps some people out! Enjoy!
If anyone wants me to do any other videos in particular please let me know.

hey i used that site for my 3rd g1 when i was updating my spl.
hows about a vid on pushing files
ive been around and im more of the leeches of devs good blood. but i am still not too sure on how to use ADB i have a mac. or maybe a ADB vs Terminal vs Root Explorer video.
*better yet, why dont you have a video going in depth about how to use Amon RA's new recovery image. theres alot of options there. just explain when u need to use them and what do they do.

]first of i wanna thank all thoes who post here to assist niggas like me who far behind when it come to tecnology.i reviewed many forms and still dont understand how to do this. i had a behold and broke it puttin software on there so i dont wanna do it to my wing.i always considered myself an intelligent individual but when i started learning about this i felt dumb as homer(the simpsons).i need help. i will donate to whoever can put this in slow terms and help me step by step.i would like to install touch and 6.1 in not 6.5..i still dont know what im talkin about but ive seen the youtube videos an been fasinated with gettin them ever since.please assist me i will greatly appreaicate it u will .i just got my wing monday so i dont know if its even capiable of this upgrade but let me know..
A few notes:
1. This particular sub forum is for developing ROMs. There are two other subforums dedicated to "how-to's."
2. The videos in youtube are old, so you're probably looking at an older ROM, one of Ttra's OpenTouch ROMs, probably.
3. You need to research, learn and understand what SPL and IPL are. Then learn what HardSPL is. Then learn how to flash the Herald HardSPL into your phone assuming that your phone meets the requirements.
4. Follow my walkthrough that I made a long time ago to flash.
thanks

I've wrote a few guides. Do a search for "how to" and ivanmmj or "how to flash herald"
As far as the newest ROM, there are currently very few updated ROMs. JustStable (by me) is build 5.2.21042 and there is also a ROM based on 5.2.21040 right below this thread.

Hey everyone,
I am helping create a website that will provide a collection of files and instructions that would be available to help all of us in the community since we all know that files sometimes can be elusive. Currently we only have the droid x up and set up. You can see it here:
www.droidfiles.us
What I would like to ask you guys is could you possibly provide me with instructions on how to root and restore (with the files needed hopefully) so that I could make this for you guys so that the noobs and people looking for how to root. I do have a very close friend with the thunderbolt that I helped root and flash telsa coil and I am just looking for recent instructions.
Thank you for all the help
Anybody at all? What I am looking for are instructions on how to root and unroot.
This will just be basic instructions for a collection of devices on how to root/unroot to get noobs started off
No sense recreating the wheel...

Thanks a bunch. And I will always give credit where it is due
Hey pros and newbs, like me lol, I need help rooting, flashing ... etc for my LG g2x. Yes I chose it over the Samsung Galaxy S2 because it looked and felt smoother when i handled both. But any way, can anyone create a step by step tutorial instead of clicking all these links and sending me to different pages and just keep it on one page? I really want to learn! I tried going about it but just worried about bricking my phone. If any one could help it would mean alot to me, the present and future hackers for android! 8)
Go spend some time reading in the development thread, There are already many thread with lots of information.
Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
Please READ MORE. People are not as willing to help someone who doesn't not seem like they have read the basics. Also slow down with all the "I'm a NEWB stuff". You are most likely to get flammed. Try to seem more mature and you'll get better results and answers.
Assuming you get G2x with Gingerbread you would...
1. NVFlash ClockworkMod (Do this right & and it will be hard to brick)
2. Flash Rooted Rom of your choice. (Gain root access)
To answer your most likely next few question:
WeaponX for 2.3.3
CM7, EagleBlood, MIUI for 2.3.7
(Personal preferences)
What OS u have on your computer? Also go see what version of android u have. 2.2.2 or 2.3.3. After y answer those questions ill walk you through it.

i like to do it step by step. these people show you how in a video
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/lg-g2x-how-tos/
So, there are so many people making really good roms now. even i want to try now
So how do you start cooking roms? or start making themes?
What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?
Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?
I have some skill with android, and am pretty good and flashing and stuff, I wouldnt mind adding root a build that I like or taking something else out. Maybe add an app to the image, or add an option to my recovery image.
Where do I start?
