Hey everyone!
Just got my Samsung Infuse last week, and already enjoying what it can do so far. I recently left Palm, was using there Web OS....I know..I know..Should of left from the beginning. So all of this is new to me but I'm reading as much as I can about rooting, but the real issue is that I'm using a Mac. I looked everywhere in regards of a basic tutorial but didn't find much. So was hoping if someone could put me in the right direction or quickly demonstrate on what I need to Download and Instructions on how to root from a Mac. Much appreciated.

Hello there! This would be my first post around these parts, although I've owned my Nexus S for around 7 months now and browsed these forums in the past. I'd also like to say that I realize this question might have been asked more than once already, but I've done my due diligence and searched without finding a definitive answer.
Anyway, I've decided that I've gone for too long without being able to flash ROMs, use all those sudo-required tools and whatnot, and I've decided to root my Nexus S so I can get some of the fun I've been missing. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm a software developer and I work with embedded systems for a living, but I just don't want to risk my $500 phone if I can avoid it. What this means is be as technical as you need to be, but I'd rather have the root process be a walk in the park and not an excursion to Mordor.
Anyway, my phone is a Nexus S i9020A(UCKF1, whatever that means), running Android 2.3.6. I've read this and this thread, and while the first looks like what I'm looking for, I recall my brother being able to root his Nexus One in a few clicks and I was wondering if I could do the same for my device. The second thread looks a bit more promising, but all I've found in that thread is mentions of other NS sub-models and not of my own, nor if running 2.3.6 means incurring in any risks.
As you can see, I'd appreciate some help here. Is there a painless, few-clicks method for rooting my specific device? If you have the same device, how did you do it? Do you have any experience with that tool I linked to?
Thanks in advance. If by any chance this has been asked before, do point me in that direction and I'll be equally pleased.
I'm new to Android and this forum.
I've been using a stock Galaxy S2 a few months, now I'm ready to take it to the next level and learn how to root and modify Android properly.
I will be getting a Galaxy S3 upon release, and that's the one I'm going to modify.
I have lots of patience and a strong desire to learn how to do this right.
After doing a search of the forum, I didn't find a thread (perhaps I missed it?) that addresses a comprehensive way to do this.
Seems like many people are only looking for a quick solution. I'd rather spend the time and learn Android thoroughly.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend doing a you-tube search for your phone and how to root, after that I would also recommend looking at the rom you want on you-tube. Also look in the XDA developers forums on your phone that should also help you. If you are totally stuck do a google search that's how I rooted my phone with no prior knowledge
Hello All,
Well I just want to start out by saying hello to my fellow xda freaks! I'm new here and I'm learning how to be an advanced user of my Samsung Galaxy S 3!! I'm extremely excited about learning the ropes of getting the most out of my Galaxy!! I would like to learn first of all how to Root my phone. Also My carrier is US Cellular could someone please tell me which forum I should be in as I did NOT see US Cellular listed in the forums for the Galaxy S 3? It would also be great if someone could point me in the right direction of where I should start reading and learning the ropes of rooting my phone and another question I have is should I learn other things before I go right into learning how to root the phone? I know how to use my phone pretty well to the point where I think I'm above needing to learn the basics if you will. Any help is and will be greatly appreciated in getting started here so I can learn I'm really excited and can't wait to learn more! Until then I'll be reading through this site and learning as much as I can hopefully someone will know where I can go to get on my way to learn the good stuff about my phone!! Again I want to thank you all for the help you will hopefully be giving me it's greatly appreciated very much so!!! Thanks again!!!
Look around the android development/original android development forums

If you browse around the development forums you should be able to find more information about how to root your phone and such. Many of the rom developers there have a rom that is labeled specifically for the phone. Look in the title. It should say [d2usc] for your model. Also posted at the top of the original android development thread there's a toolkit. That might have the rooting info your looking for. Also I would highly recommend looking in Android development and reading all(yes ALL) of the stickies posted there. They have a lot of helpful information that can help if you have a problem or prevent it from happening in the first place. After you've learned yourself some knowledge have some fun and happy flashing!

I have a Inspire I just recently picked up from a friend, and was wanting some expertise in how to root, and what not. I noticed in the forums aahk is not longer supported. Is the easy ace root tool supported then.. I kind of new to htc phones, but I know a good bit about flashing and what not. If I could have a little guidance, much thanks will be given.
Thanks,
Tank

The key here is to search.
While you are new to HTC, you are also new to XDA. Please read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
There are countless posts in this section that offer great information for what you need to know. There are also countless YT vids that will help you through this process.
I understand and all, but everything read is not relevant to within the last month or so.. Everything is older, as I was just looking for some help on what would be the most relevant and smoothest today. I've done some reading, and it appears the ace hack kit is the most recent. But I have noticed others have problems with it at the same time and was just looking for guidance..
Thanks, though

I would suggest posting in one of these threads, to determine what others did to remidy the issues.
Here are 2 YT vids that may help~

My internet connection is through my phone and I have limited Data and the website is painfully slow for me to search manually.
I need to get to an appropriate place to request a walkthrough to installing CM on my phone.
GT-I9000 with 2.3.3 NOT Point six or Point two it is Three Point Three.
For goodness sakes please somebody stop the madness.
Much appreciated.
Apologies in advance for this thread.

I appreciate it but, It kind of takes me back to square one, So much gobble-de-gook and way to much information to go through.
I want to keep this brief since this is the wrong place, But I essentially need someone who I can ask questions directly, I've had a go at getting all the tools together but I just get a big tremendous headache.
Really wish that Installer would do it.
