Just been warned tut

I've just been warned apparently for starting a few too many threads regarding installing a custom Rom and the likes...
I'm a complete noob to rooting Android and installing roms and what not and didn't have much confidence in doing so, so asked a few clarifcal questions regarding the process and steps so I didn't brick my device.
I did read all the threads and steps beforehand but as I said didn't have the confidence to just flash the Rom Willy nilly, unlike what some people do on here.
I think that was a harsh warning...
I don't even know if this is in the wrong part of the forum either lol

4.How to install custom rom ( step by step for noobs)
5.Tricks and tips related to android

Why don't you go over to the FAQ thread? Lot of your questions are answered there.
You say you are a "noob". Then get yourself educated! The information is around, you need just to read it. Even the step by step guides are there. If you are too lazy to even read the stuff that is directly under your nose, then maybe you should get a standard low cost feature phone instead.
Of course you could also get the xda premium membership, where for only 5000$ a month you will get a personal 24/7 support team of experienced professionals taking care of your every wish.

dude i m not that much retarded
i already read lots of threads but there is no thread which tells about weather we can get back to old or not

People might help you if you ask nicely and show that you did your homework. They might even do so happily. For your questions:
1. This question is asked about once a week. There are answers.
2. This question is asked about twice a week. There are answers.
3. This is linked in the guides that are stickied. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Google is your friend too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+"Nexus+S"+guide+ "back+to+stock"
4. There are stickied guides.
5. That depends on what you want to do, but I do remember seeing a seeing a thread about it. maybe in the android general section.
So one question from me: What did you read?
You show that you have no interest in getting answers for yourself, but expect others to take you by the hand.

thanks for helping
sry if was rude
i had read lots of thread and searched google lyk hell from 2-3 days i dint get perfect answers for what i wanted thats y i asked here ;(

Most of these questions can be found in the Nexus S forum. It also helps to give details on yer Nexus model and yer carrier when asking for help. Some tweaks only work on certain models. The infamous signal question, well maybe you have a model that allows you to hack it. I don't so I'm still looking. Have fun, and remember to say Please and Thank You. That helps alot when your trying to get help .

New to android and rooting would like advice/info

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.

I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

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] A request for help to the Forum moderators, programmers and advanced users.

Guys,
I would like to ask for help, the staff has more knowledge of the platform and the methods of root, flash, etc, to create this post to end the misunderstandings in relation to the Droid 2 and the process of root and flash ROM's.
I had other androids like quench, backflip, Galaxy S and never had so much difficulty in getting success necesse process.
Would you please help create a topic, explaining step by step how to root the 4.5.629 version, and how to install the bootloader on a phone that does not have ROMMananger and have gone through other procedures. For me and other people who are having trouble understanding the steps to upgrade their phones to CM9, or other versions.
I already searched on other forums and even here on xda, but the downgrade process, among others, are not always the details that give no security risk to me and many attempt the procedure. Since many end up losing cellular processes for doing it wrong and failing to reverse them.
In my country a droid 2 costs about $ 500, a galaxy s3 around $ 1000. So I would be very grateful if you could help extend the maximum functionality from this device.
Thank you for your patience guys

There is no totally risk free method of obtaining root, but there are methods now that allow you to root without bricking the phone.
In my signature you will find a link to an EzSbf style recovery and root CD, as well as a root only CD. I can give you no guarantees, but you can read what others have said, and make an educated decision. The link in my signature is to a post that originally had the previous method (required bricking), so many of the responders in that thread are referring to that previous method. However, on rootzwiki I posted basically the same CD, and all the responses are about the new method. That thread is at
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30900-droid-2-global-root-cd-for-629-not-necessary-to-brick-phone/
The thread on xda is in my signature.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

It is not possible to install a custom kernel on the D2G (nor most other Motorola devices). Its bootloader will only allow the use of kernels that have been cryptographically signed with Motorola's private key.
There are a number of tweakable CPU governors available, see for example http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10911-co...e-interactivex-and-smartass-v2-cpu-governors/
I don't know if overclocking above 1.2 GHz is possible, but with a decent ROM it really isn't needed anyway (we would get a bigger performance improvement from more RAM).
