[REQ] Newbie guide to rooting AUS XOOM - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] A ROOTING guide for idiots?

I've read some guides and what not for rooting my Transformer, and I'm still lost.
I just need the stuff that came in the OTA update that was pulled, and I'd like root access.
Can someone write an idiots guide to doing all this....
I'm not sure why this was moved, seems it would be better in the devlopment section, but whatever.
Still, anyone?

It's because there shouldn't be questions in the dev section. Also the posted guide in the dev section from apache14 is as detailed as it ever could be (every step is explained in detail), what more are you looking for?
Rooting methods involving adb can look intimidating, but if you read carefully and follow the directions its really not that difficult. I haven't rooted my asus yet but I recently rooted my thunderbolt and xoom. The asus method looks no more complicated.

Everything about Rooting HTC Desire

http://nikkichuckles.blogspot.com/2011/06/htc-desire-custom-rom.html
Refer this... Rooting HTC Desire is very easy if you follow this.
Considering that:
1. Tutorial already exists.
2. Stupid people will always ask stupid questions.
3. You made it.
... You're just promoting yourself. Clever approach, I must say.

Yeah I agree tutorial exists but in pieces. I just kept everything at one place so that New people could get some help. I know the pain of searching web for help while device is in middle of rooting process, stuck and no where to look.
in pieces? are you new here? at this point I see you have posted 29 posts already and you dont know this forum?

Yeah I'm new here...I use this forum only to search for rom for my device. I rooted my Desire long back but had a hard time rooting it. SO I've done some work, collected everything and written it.

[Q] TOTALLY NEW! HELP IM A NEWB! TUTORIAL FOR ROOT, FLASHING...etc for LG G2X! 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.

[Q] 3.18 Root Please Help

Hi guys, i just made an account with this website and may i say that this site is huge and full of amazing knowledge. I have been reading up on how to root my HTC One X AT&T version for about an hour now. The thing is i cannot for the life of me find a Step- by -Step procedure that thoroughly explains the process. If anyone here would please show me a link to one i would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm sorry about starting a new thread but i really cannot find an extensive write-up.
Thanks for the help. :good:
First off, this should be in the q&a section, not general. Secondly, the root method can be found in this very section you posted in, so you must not have looked very hard.

Sorry man. The thing is like i said, this will be my first time doing this. I've done jailbreaks but never a root on an android. Thus i need a Step -by- Step link which i could not for the life of me find. All i find are things like: 1. Do this on boot loader 2. Install this. 3. You're done
You should have a look at this thread, it's a resource thread so it has links to many useful topics. You should also Google something like adb/fastboot for beginners, you'll definitely need that.
If I have any advice to give, it is to read, read, and read some more. Knowledge is your friend. Jumping into something like this head first without having a working knowledge is very dangerous and could lead to you bricking your phone, and we don't want that.
Also, stay on XDA, don't get information from anywhere else. Other sites don't properly distinguish between our model (Evita) and the international One X (Endeavoru).

[Completed] [Q] how to root shield tablet lollipop

hey so ive never rooted an android device and the shield tablet root thread is kinda dead and i didnt understand it. so can anyone give me a really thorough explanation on how to root my tablet, also ive already installed lollipop.
Hi,
I am assuming you men shield tablet, not 2.0 version?
It would be best to ask for help in the thread you are trying to follow.
Is this it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...t-root-nvidia-shield-tablet-lollipop-t2972316
I will say this.... It should be as simple as following the instructions one step at a time... Exactly as they are written. If you don't understand it, you likely should read up on this some more. Before you do anything. Asking people will just lead to them quoting the same instructions to you.
Doing this stuff to our devices is dangerous if we are lost. If you value your device and don't want to ruin it, I'd read as much as you can from your device section and learn about the things you don't understand.
Just my 2 cents. ?
Good luck!
