I've just been warned apparently for starting a few too many threads regarding installing a custom Rom and the likes...
I'm a complete noob to rooting Android and installing roms and what not and didn't have much confidence in doing so, so asked a few clarifcal questions regarding the process and steps so I didn't brick my device.
I did read all the threads and steps beforehand but as I said didn't have the confidence to just flash the Rom Willy nilly, unlike what some people do on here.
I think that was a harsh warning...
I don't even know if this is in the wrong part of the forum either lol

Hi all I know there is a lot of guides on here for rooting Xooms, but after trying to root my Australian Xoom and bricking it I would really appreciate if someone can write a guide detailing all the steps from what software is need to how to root and install HC3.1
Like I said I know there is a lot of guides on here but I cant risk doing the wrong rooting process again, as the shop wont fall for a faulty app install twice !
Many thanks to all the devs on here making our Xooms so much better!!
What about this one

Hi yes I have seen this one but the guides it links too are not really newbie friendly, they assume I already know what they are talking about

I had no idea what adb was until a week ago, i just went through it all step by step. Its not that hard to learn, as long as you follow it exactly as written you can't go too wrong. If you have any problems there's heaps of people here who can help you anyway.
There is a few guides in the Q & A section, which is where this should have been posted also.

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.
I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

First off please don't flame me, I've been on XDA for years an am by far not new to this. I know the procedures and I DID search and try to find these answers but am still a little confused so I would appreciate some help and I'd be very grateful please . I finally talked my buddy into getting an android phone and dropping iOS so he has the sensation and decided he wants to root and install custom Roms so I'm going to do so for him. He's on stock ICS and all the stickie threads for rooting I seen for the most part were last edited or not posted on since before the ICS update. I seen about the tool kit but just want to double check so I don't brick my buddies phone, could someone just link me to the newest method to root and flash recovery for flashing Roms for a phone on stock ICS? Once again my apologies as I know these noobie questions are annoying but my searching didn't help me . Thanks all!

The reason I'm posting is because its so complicated on HTC phones, Samsung is easy lol but I read the thread about how to do things but there's a million different things it talks about. It talks about s off and adb and all that, there doesn't seem to be a good guide in everything to do just to root and be able to flash custom Roms from straight stock from step one. Help please friend may be willing to donate after all said and done.

Hi,
Please check the ☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺ link in my signature.
It has all the latest links to the threads you want.
Hello guys, so i am new to the atrix 2 and new to the motorola phones in general. My question is what do i need to install a custom rom? So far i rooted my phone and that's it. Whats the next step? And also do i need to unlock bootloaders in order to flesh custom roms? Thank you in advance.
Don't rush into flashing roms, without understanding a few things. Everything is available in this forum, so search and read. Flashing without reading may brick ur device
Not trying to sound like an ass but if i knew what to do when it comes flashing a rom on atrix 2 i wouldn't post this topic. I searched the forums and on youtube but there is no step by step explanation. On the forums seems like different people have different methods for flashing and some say they method works and some say it dont. So if somebody have simple step by step explanation please post. I really did search but i am confused and dont want to brick my phone. Thank you

Also not to sound like an ass, but if you've truly searched and read this forum and you're STILL confused then you probably shouldn't do it right now anyway. I only say this because there is only one way to flash the vast majority of the ROMs here (the exceptions being stock ROMs & in some cases, MIUI). If you haven't read enough to know that much then you just haven't read enough. Keep reading/searching. It's to your benefit to do so and you'll find everything you need to know in the process. :thumbup:

Here's a little hint for you. Do you see that thread in the stickies named "[HELP THREAD] Any Question Answered Here (NØØB Friendly)"? Wanna bet this question has been asked, and answered ad nauseum in there? :sly:
...
If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.
im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.
