hey everyone,
I have a Droid X that I just rooted using z4root. I have the official 2.2.1 update.i currently have Milestone Overclock. I have the speed set to 1.5Ghz. I was wondering what I need to do/know in order to be successful at rooting and other things with my Droid. Any help/tutorials would be awesome. For instance where to find info on custom roms. Basically I just want to know how to do things on my phone that rooting allows.
Thanks

Welcome! There's a whole section of forums dedicated to the droid x. Custom roms are available there. Pretty much anything you'd be looking for is there. Start in the general forum.

I figured I would utilize my first post at xda to lend a helping hand.
If you check out the Droid X Wiki on xda it lists some custom roms and tutorials that should get you at least familiar with things. I would offer you some info but im not too familiar with the droid since my platform is the Evo. Read the wiki and look in the development section for the droid to research which ROM people seem to be gravitating toward. You cant post in that forum yet, as neither can i, until your post count is 10, but through intelligent searching and reading you should be able to at least get the basics to get you started.
Also, im not too sure what the stable underclock/overclock speeds of the Droid are but 1.5 Ghz seems a little high. I could be wrong but check it out anyway. Good luck.

So I just rooted my FRG83D Droid 1 Phone. What should I do now? What I mean is that, I know I can install a custom ROM but do I have to? Can I just leave it like the way it is? what are the pro and cons for this? Also, should I make a recovery file for my current phone?
I suggest you're gonna read the sticky threads first.
I suggest you go over to Droid Forums for Droid 1 related stuff, instead of XDA. Not saying XDA is bad, but there's more support for OG Droid over at Droid Forums then here.

trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help
Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.
Hello
Im pretty familiar with gingerbread and run custom roms on my desire hd but am struggling with where to start with my xoom. Are there any simple guides or one click rooting tools. What do I need to do to install a custom kernal etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
What version do you have? Wifi only or 3g plus wifi? Are you currently running 3.0.1 or have you gotten the ota for 3.1? Are you familiar with using ADB? The answers to these questions will help this community help you.

There's plenty of info on the Development Board, including setp by step. As was said though, tell us which Xoom you have etc, etc.
Hi Guys,
I just bought an Inspire off of Craigslist. The guys said he had updated or OTAed the phone. I wanted to know which root method or guide should I use for root, s-off, and even sim-unlock, if possible?
Here's the info on it:
Android Version: 2.3.3
HTC Sense Version: 2.1
Build Number: 2.47.502.7 CL93396 release-keys
Software Number: 2.47.502.7
What is the best, easiest method to get this bad boy rooted ? Thanks for your help!
I used the Ace Hack Kit and was rooted in under 15 minutes. Just make sure to read and follow the directions.

There's only one, and this thread was totally unnecessary the root method is on the first page

Hack Kit Thread - this is the only option available to root the GB OTA update
Make sure you read the effen manual, a few times. attn1 has made the process almost idiot proof, but if you run into issues you can hop in their IRC from the link in the OP of that thread
Folks, thanks for your responses, I appreciate your help.
I am not new to Android, been a proud owner of the DInc, EVO 4G, HD2 w/ Android on NAND, EVO 3D, and now the Inspire 4G. In all of those other communities and rooting methods, apparently builds and versions of Android mattered, and appropriate tools remedied the appropriate versions, thus I asked.
So please, there is no need to be upset. I didn't ask HOW TO Root, I asked what solution to use, cause apparently in the stickies, I saw two.
Thanks for the warm welcome, please look forward to more questions and thanks for supporting the community!

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay. The Inspire is a great device, I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do.
FWIW, I too get sick of the snarky, self righteous responses ppl make to a question.

I have rom manager and clockworkmod all set for the new rom installation, and i just backed up my old rom.
Now, can anyone tell me what's the BEST ROM for atrix 4g MB860 out there?
Thanks.

You'll need to checkout the Atrix 4G Android Development section for finding all ROMs available for the device. Read through user reviews and select the best one of your choice. Also, when asking about which is the Best ROM, you'll get 10 different opinions from different people. So its all upto your needs to use the one of your choice.
Thread closed
I would move it for you, but there's a good chance it would get closed in that forum too. Best ROM threads/questions are generally frowned upon around here due to the type of responses (mostly negative) and bickering they tend to generate. Try them out for yourself and see what works for you.
