ok, let me first get this out of the way... I dont care if this is breaking the rules and has been asked before, i am not willing to spend the rest of my life searching through vast amounts of text on this site to maybe, just maybe, find that someone once before asked what im asking, this is a forum, questions are suposed to be asked here.
Irritated rant after spending hours looking and not finding over.
So simply my question is, is there a definitive guide to, i dont know what were calling it, its not jail breaking, thats for iphones, and its not updating, because its not the proper software, anyway whatever we're calling it, im looking for a definitive guide to upgradating?? the HTC Tattoo to 2.2, (Froyo).
now i know it can be done, ive seen lots of people say they have done it.
Ive found the guides on general dicussion.
But is every HTC android phone the same to upgradate? The guide isnt specific to any phone, just says "android"
Any help or pointing of in the right direction is much appreciated
or could someone tell me if this is any good please.

...and they're very different from each other!
Come on, someone answer. There not differcult questions.
Bloody typical mind, I dont think any of these mods sites be it iphone, xbox360, or this are very newbie friendly. in my experience of firmware mods etc ive found your supposed to know everything immediatly and the only people that get help are those who have an idea to start with.
So please, one of the 58 or so next to look at this thread, please leave some answers... or just point me in the right direction, im very capable.
What you're looking to do is root your phone & then install a custom rom that has 2.2 firmware.
There are multiple methods to root, not sure about your model of phone. But try searching about rooting, there are plenty of guides. It's something you need to read up on before you do it or else you'll end up bricking your phone.
After you've looked it over, if you still need some help send me a pm.

Thanks for your reply, exactly what i was looking for.
Spend hours yesterday reading, reading and more reading about what to do, but with different methodes out there i wanted someone to explain just what i would be trying to do (rooting aparently).
Thanks very much.
It's HTC Tattoo btw.
I'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to doing things like this. I have asked on other forums, and I've searched the internet countless times, and I've found nothing. I want the samsung live wallpaper, luminescense (spelling?) on my droid incredible. It's been made for other phoned to download without rooting, but not mine. If someone who knows how could make this possible, you have no idea how appreciative I would be.
Hi all, i need some help with the galaxy s2. i want to mod this phone so i can get free apps, change the way it looks and works, and to keep up with the lads at work who have modded mobiles!! but im a complete noob when it comes to anything like this and have no idea on what im doing. i can see alot of posts on here saying modding and rooting etc.... but which 1 does what? ive read through most of them and still dont fully understand! can someone please point me in the right direction for a beginners guide to modding galaxy s2 or give me a idea on what i should do to make it better!! thanks alot and hi to all agiain as i am new to this site!!
start by reading on the forums of your device, there are lots and lots of info you can pick there, once you have some idea and have some doubts, you can ask more specific questions, that ppl will be more eager to reply and help you, but none will come to give you a "for dummies" introductory guide
Nice device btw, grats and good luck
thanks for quick reply. ill have a look at what youve said and see if there is any other questions i may have
I know this isn't the first time this has come up cause I have seen threads on multiple sites asking about the SuperPad III and a lot cant find info on it. I was wondering why there isn't a thread on this there is a good bit of info on this Tab but for some reason people give up if it isn't on XDA or Android Central. Anyway we could start a thread on one that actually gave info for people that don't know where else to look?
Also if anyone is having problems with theirs I would be willing to help I have messed with one enough to get the jest of its inner workings and I am more then happy to help you root/speed up the device.
Hi All,
Just discovered XdaDev by googling....like the spirit of communal help, hope I can contribute back one day.
Am semi tech on many different things but I've got no 'head space' on mobile tech, rooting and all that goes with it.
The more I read the more I get confused, many posts come assuming you know stuff already or have a 'familiarity',
=MY PROBLEM=
My Galaxy Young GT S6102 keeps filling up as storage is low spec. Due to Samsung forced updates I either factory default it again and run around with no security or Learn to ROOT it and perhaps put a minimal image on it.
=======
Tried looking for my model and although there are some refs here and there I cant find a good NEWBIE GUIDE to do it.
Can someone please point me in the direction with a few links. I'm not being lazy, I spend over 20 hours searching the internet and cant find anything that doesn't leave me with some doubt or missing knowledge [assumed pre knowledge/familiarity].
Don't want to brick my phone, am out of work and can't afford to replace.
cheers all.
