could someone please give me a step by step list on how to download a rom, put it on my phone, and flash it with ROM manager? plz i messed up once bricked my phone and had to buy a new phone (samsung vibrant) really dont wanna do it again please someone help me?
If you visit the Vibrant section there are tons of tutorials on how to install and such. There isn't a set "how to" as each rom is slightly different and reacts differently.
I am also working with a Vibrant, well two, one bricked one working gloriously in 2.2 . Do some reading in that section THEN post questions after you decide your own route. I may have a low post count but I have been a lurking member for quite some time. Read up and good luck!

4.How to install custom rom ( step by step for noobs)
5.Tricks and tips related to android
i dont know anything related to custom rom ,flashing , overclocking , kernel etc plz help
Why don't you go over to the FAQ thread? Lot of your questions are answered there.
You say you are a "noob". Then get yourself educated! The information is around, you need just to read it. Even the step by step guides are there. If you are too lazy to even read the stuff that is directly under your nose, then maybe you should get a standard low cost feature phone instead.
Of course you could also get the xda premium membership, where for only 5000$ a month you will get a personal 24/7 support team of experienced professionals taking care of your every wish.

i requested it to people who want to help
plz help if u can or plz stay away

People might help you if you ask nicely and show that you did your homework. They might even do so happily. For your questions:
1. This question is asked about once a week. There are answers.
2. This question is asked about twice a week. There are answers.
3. This is linked in the guides that are stickied. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Google is your friend too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+"Nexus+S"+guide+ "back+to+stock"
4. There are stickied guides.
5. That depends on what you want to do, but I do remember seeing a seeing a thread about it. maybe in the android general section.
So one question from me: What did you read?
You show that you have no interest in getting answers for yourself, but expect others to take you by the hand.
thanks for helping
sry if was rude
i had read lots of thread and searched google lyk hell from 2-3 days i dint get perfect answers for what i wanted thats y i asked here ;(
Most of these questions can be found in the Nexus S forum. It also helps to give details on yer Nexus model and yer carrier when asking for help. Some tweaks only work on certain models. The infamous signal question, well maybe you have a model that allows you to hack it. I don't so I'm still looking. Have fun, and remember to say Please and Thank You. That helps alot when your trying to get help .

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 assume you've got the i9100 model.
The first thing you want to do, is get to the correct forum. General discussion isn't going to be much help for a model-specific question.
The thread you're looking for can be found here.
If you want more information, try searching google for 'samsung galaxy s2 how to return to stock'... or check the 'stickies' in the parent forum to the thread above (stickies = useful threads that have been bookmarked by mods which will always appear at the top of the list of threads in a forum).
The stickies are marked sticky, because they're the FAQs of the forums. I actually have better things to do than hold your hand and guide you through the process. Sorry if I sound like a ****, I really hope this helped, but you've gotta read and research the topic like the rest of us.
what you need to do is flash a stock from back on your device and optionally a rooting kernel ( if you want it rooted of course. if not you can just skip this part).
there's a dedicated thread for this although I'm unsure as to which sub forum it lies. look for 'carrier-branded firmware for odin' and pick the one for o2.
Wrong forum...
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Usually fixes things like this.
Cant Find the guide.....im rooted yes phone says (SGH-T959V)
I would strongly second hechoen's recommendation in your "Help Help Help" thread from not even an hour ago that you take the time to read a bit more before you flash anything else. Believe it or not, you've probably already looked at links to what you need to do several times if you've spent much time reading here. One brick a day is more than most here want to deal with!

Yea its a hassel---so much easier on MY HTC--but GF wants ICS and i cant seem place guide--so i can read it lol
Please stop opening multiple threads. Please take the time to understand what phone you have, which ROMs are available, and how to properly flash a Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V. If you then have additional problems, you probably should add to one of your own threads, and not in the Development section.

Thanks Jeff
And to save you more questions,
Once rooted and on GB - flash a CWM version 5 such as AntonX's basic with a twist 1.1.3, reboot to recovery and then flash CM9. That will get you to ICS. Don't forget to
sync all contacts to google and backup data first.
Also please thoroughly read CM9 installation instructions prior to flashing it.

This belongs in Q&A not general, for future reference. I have reported this to the MODS, so they can move it.
if you're planning to flash jellybean then you need the boostrap from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19355021 , with that installed, go to dev section of the forum and d/l a custom rom and flash following steps in the op , remember always to make a backup of your current rom

There are only two roms based on JB. And both have a guide to install.
Any links for some good n stable roms are appriciated.. Kindly help

So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.
Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.
