PLEASE check the development section... You've been warned. haha
There are plenty of threads on how to do this, if you're having trouble searching for them, PM me, and I'd be glad to help.

Download the battery saver and click on root tool I guess (only because I don't remember what it was called exactly)
After finding that program it took just a couple minutes for me

If all you want is try out new ROMs, no need to root. Follow the instructions for NVFlash (search the Dev thread).

Did you remember to Wipe before installing CM7? Wait, how'd you install the ROM? Did you flash ClockWorkMod using NVFlash or Rom Manager? Please tell me you didn't use Rom Manager.

You need to use nvflash to install clock work, then flash stuff.

Try searching. All your questions have been answered many times. With a simple search you could have had all your answers instead of waiting. BTW, many people don't reply to threads like this as they are tired of people asking questions that can be answered by searching first.

ilovebeerdanny: as a fellow newcomer I can share my experience which is that this community is super cool and filled with people who will help you out but no-one here is going to hold your hand. You're much more likely to get help if people see you've done your homework first.
When reading answers to your question pay attention to who's giving them. There's a reason members like jboxer and FatalityBoyZahy have high Thanks meters.
Welcome to the forum and have fun.

Thanks dude I figured it out

[DUMP] Nexus S System Dump

Here is a dump of the Nexus S system.
Bout all you can really get atm, as they have no root, no custom recovery, etc.
Thanks to k0mpresd for this.

Have fun
Not sure what can really be pulled from it, if anything can, but I'm going to download & give it a shot anyway
Meh, it's there for anyone who cares to get anything from it
Problem is they don't have root and whatnot yet, so it hinders getting much of anything else from it.
And of course, no source doesn't help

How to install custom rom

I am a new android user. I am learning little by little about this phone. Does anyone know how to install custom rom on infuse? I got my phone rooted already.
Thanks in advance.
Ok. First of all you have to be rooted. PM me if you need help with that. Which ROM do you want to flash? There are two that are working well, Infused and refuse. Refuse needs to use odin though, and infused usually doesnt. Just hit me up and I'll send you detailed instructions via PM. We dont need more clutter in these boards.

since the this thread is already started i do have a few noob questions if someone is willing to answer
you should ask.
Look at the thread that I made in the dev section and post questions there. They will be answered
Sent from my 4.5' Infuse 4g: Currently running Infused v1.3.1 w/ voodoo lagfix. Thank you gtg465x!
k will look there first and guess go from there. I have been hesitant to ask cuz always afraid they have been asked or wrong place to ask. Ive looked thru so many pages that i probably saw the answers to some of my questions but read them as a blur. I come from an iphone and with so many android phones seems so confusing at times.

[Q] Help me I'm new

Hello everyone this is my first time starting a thread on this forum so hello, anyways I just switched form iPhone to the Skyrocket, and am enjoying it, I switched because I wanted something to make my own and android seemed the route to go. Anyways, I just wanted some input on rooting and what the best ways to do so on a Mac. A couple months ago I rooted a EVO for a friend so I have some knowledge, but would still like some input and any tips that I could get.
-Thanks

Welcome to ROcket world man. I switched from iPhone too but i had i777 for like 2 weeks and than i727. You must read this once so you know what we are talking about. Its all in one noob guide. And make sure to flash t989 cwm through rom manager. Don't flash anything else unless it says it will work with i727. T-mobile SGS2 aka t989 is very similar to our phone so mostly everything there you can flash except kernel. Because with t989 kernel you will get rotation issue. Let us know if you got any question.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy S 4g

Please Help me Rooting my Samsung SGS4G T959V
Ginger Bread 2.3.6 VUVKJ6
Im Just Scared if i bricked my phone...
Am searching to unbrick my phone if i rooted it... and i found this...
1) Remove battery, sim card, and sdcard.
2) Hold down volume up + down and re-insert the battery (still holding the volume keys)
3) While still holding the volume keys, I plugged in the phone to the pc,and it went into download mode.
4) Open up odin and use the old original, rooted, KD1
but my version is KJ6 so its not compatible for unbricking this phone???
Sorry for some mistakes, im just a beginner for this android phone. and also this site.
Please read the guide in the second link of my signature thoroughly to fix your phone.

Dude, read it, then you will know. Your question has been asked like a thousand times in this forum, so we made a sticky for noobs like you to use it. :banghead:

Super one click root is another option.
I guess it depends on what you're planning on doing. If it is just rooting, that's an easy way. It takes a few minutes.
If you're planning on changing roms, flash one/appropriate kernel with one of the one click packages in lumin's signature. It will give you root & cwm & voodoo lagfix.
Do not use rom manager from play store. It is not supported on this phone. It could brick ya.
Good luck and happy flashing.

Don't flash anything. Your in way over your head. Anyone with even the smallest tech ability could easily follow lumins guide. Bricking is a risk all of us take. Quit crying about it.
I learn the most in the hours after I brick my phone. If you are not willing to take the time to learn, and are scared to learn in a trial by fire, you really have no business trying to root your phone, especially if you are not going to follow directions, or take the time to learn what it is you are doing. You are going to brick your phone, and you are going to come here and start a hundred threads about it.....I suggest just paying someone to do it for you, or taking the time to read the instructions. Someone who knows nothing about rooting can follow that guide and learn how, that was what I did.

ahm,, that the reason why i want to root my phone, to flash my custom rom and to fix lag! thats all...
if they or you can give me lag fixer, i will stop flashing custom rom...
Ahem, why don't you go find one for yourself. There are plenty out there. Figure out which one works for you and quit asking for everything to be handed to you. Take the hint and use Google. I learned that quite quickly and you should to. It helps prevent people from ignoring you when you have a legit question.
