[GUIDE NEEDED] Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 root. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Im looking for information on how to manually root GB 2.3.4 devices. I have a samsung admire that I'd like to root and is not wiling to wait for a one click solution. I have a little programming knowledge and is not afraid to learn what I don't know. (google is my best friend) if someone can point me to the right place in the forums and maybe help me with some advice for a beginner that'll be great. Thanks in advance.

Download GingerBreak.
Install GingerBreak.
Run GingerBreak.
If this doesn't work, you may need to look at... SDX Developers? I forget these things. But the above should work.

roms and devices

i bought an android tablet (witstech a81-e) and i know its not going to have the market, or other important pieces, so my question is, if i go into the g1 forum and find a rom to flash on my newly rooted tablet, will it work?
if not, how do i know which ones will work? if none of em work, how do i make one that will work?
help?
Flashing a Rom from g1 section won't work.
... but you should be able to take apps (like Market) from roms to use
.... and building roms is difficult work if you don't know how. No, sorry, it would be difficult for ME to learn all the ins and outs... but if you want to have a go there are some tuts in the "Android chef central" section.
Good luck!

thanks, now i have a direction
first thing you have to do is getting root access. when that's done, try compiling a running kernel and after that you can go to the software-part=)...mfg coach
PS: that's what i think is the order, have never done this on my own (except for building linux kernels^^)

Help please!! samsung i897 captivate

Hi guys i'm nes on this forum, i'm italian and i have a samsung captivate i897, i also take this opportunity to introduce myself...
Now i expose you the problem:
i have a i897 captivate marked AT&T for this i have a problem to fix the GPS and to install applications outside the market, I would like you to help me to make clean OS from the applications AT & T and put in i897 a i9000 ROM not rooted...please guys help me, and thanks in advance
1. Read the new owners guide.
2. This forum is about learning things by yourself. Don't expect to be spoonfed.
3. Custom ROM always =Rooted mind you.

I read the guide but i'm desperate,do you recommend something? can u post the link of the better rom and kernel that i can use? im noob in android world
I can't recommend anything man. Everything is good.
You have to discover by yourself what suits your needs.
Sent from my Captivate. Andromeda 3, Onix 2.0.5 @ 1.2Ghz
the new user guide (that i wrote) teaches about stickies! and where to find them!
find the stickies in the captivate general, q&a and dev forums they have all the answers you are looking for and way more.
go. read. learn.
this is really basic stuff. At&t does not like you installing apps not from the market "its called side loading" you need to be rooted to fix it and there are pleanty of guides "one click root has an option to enable non market apps" to get a different rom go to the dev sectoin chose a rom and follow the simple directions or for a guide for the entire process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Assuming what you meant was that you want ATT's crap taken off and a new ROM...
Why would you not want your device rooted? If voiding your warranty is a concern it's fine, there are plenty of methods to return back to stock Eclair/Froyo. And there really isn't a ROM out there that's head and shoulders over the rest, you're going to have to play around and see which one you like the feel of the best. Try out a different ROM every couple of days and see how you like it.

If you are asking someone to help you build a rom well... I don't think that will happen. You can go to samfirmwares.com and download a stock i9000 rom, but without root you, and if you don't know how to build to incorporate the home button and haptic feedback fixes, your phone won't work right. My suggestion is to go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
They are all stock i9000 roms with only busybox and root installed. I'm using the stock jvh on my captivate, at the moment, and it works great. You will have to deal with root. It's better to be rooted anyway.

Only replying to that small part of your post, and correcting you by saying no, you don't need to be rooted to sideload applications. SWM (Sideload Wonder Machine) can do it so long as you have the drivers installed and USB Debugging on. I installed several applications as soon as I got the phone, long before I ever rooted my phone, much less installed a custom ROM on it.

Why didn't you use google? There are plenty of places that explain how to root that aren't on this site, which is more an "advanced" place anyways(I use that term loosely, but I get the idea that people here assume you know a little about your phone).
Check out MobileTechVideos, the guy who does those had a three-part, in-depth ROM flash set of videos that explain exactly how to use One-Click to Root.
Edit:
Christ dude, use some decent punctuation and at least attempt to be succinct in your requests. Freaking out isn't going to get you anywhere.

[REF][ROOT] Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit)

First off, thanks go out to: CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD!
A couple days ago I tested DoomLorD's Xperia X10 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) on my windows 7 vm after using my [Heimdall][UVKJ6] Back-To-Stock Heimdall One-Click.
Today I was also successful rooting from my debian linux vm using methods 2b and 4 from this page: [HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method)
If you are feeling squeamish, there is also a noob friendly guide in pdf format available.
I hope you find this useful.
Cool. Gonna try it on my dads phone and come back. Thanks.

Great! Let me know how it goes.
I saw another thread where they had taken the same process, but ported to mac and linux. I might test that as well, and if it works, I'll update the op.
Does this work better than SuperOneClick?

Well, I guess the SuperOneClick in the new link in the op now also uses the zergRush Exploit.

Hey, cool! I wanted to try a smaller set of testers at first
I'll post in the dev section after I get some testing.
For me, so far so good. Almost an hour on the new kernel.
You know you don't need this thread if you use that kernel.
If you feel like testing, check out: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11298-beta-kernel-testers/
Nothing fancy going on yet. Just stock kj6 from source with cwm+voodoo lagfix. I just want to build up a QA base for testing changes.
Don't comment about the kernel in this thread. If you don't have a rootz login, please PM me if you find problems.

So I tired the ways which were presented here but unfortunately none of them worked for me, also I tried using the Superoneclick v2.3.3.0 but it stucks' and keep giving me the same message (Not Responding) so if someone may have a different way or knows any other way which I can follow to root my tablet device it's be very generous from him/her to explain it to me and help me out here please; and I will be very thankful.
Waiting upon responding.

Your both in the wrong forums. Good look for a forum for your specific phone or tablet.

Hey guys few questions, thanks.

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.

[Q] Unexperienced but wanting to root.

Hi XDA Devolopers,
I can imagine this thread comming by daily. I've tried to search for it, but all I get is something that, to me is, "Hocus pocus". Clearly I am probably one of the least technical people found on this forum, but still I've got a question, and it'd be awesome if you could help me.
As I said: I am unknown with the whole Rooting thing. I have no idea where to begin. All I have done so far is making my decision on which ROM i'd like to use. Which is the JB 4.1.1 AOSP build #6.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779133)
I've downloaded all the files, but I have not a clue what to do with that. I've read that you must first unlock and/or root an android device, make a backup and then flash and install the ROM.
Where do I start with this? What program do I use to Root my tablet and how do I go on from there?
Thank you guys so much in advance! It really looks like an awesome community, and I really don't want to mess with that, but help would be greatly appreciated.
search for PERI tool to root and install recovery, then flash the ROM u want through recovery.
Do like catfishbilly say and use PERI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Just read read and read, don't rush. good luck.
PERI is the way to go, although everything needs a lot of reading, I was only reading threads for close to a month before rooting and installing ROMs.
Good luck.
