Apparently you are having difficulty understanding what zelendel posted in your last thread, just before he locked it.
Everything you are looking for is here. It is obvious you are not searching. In fact, you aren't even *browsing* these sections.
Requests to be spoon-fed don't go over well.

As stated in the last thread I closed. Please search and read before opening a new thread. All the info you want is posted in the forums.

[Q] noob rooting question

I'm new to this website and new to rooting. I've read on how to root and its all confusing. Can someone direct me to a website with a more simple way of explaining how root and also what is the best Rom to flash to? Or is that a matter of opinion?

There is so much of that info on here. You just have to search for it. There is a good chance this thread will be closed. You should start with the stickies then use the search button.

Thanks for the advice

On average how long does it take to download the ace hack kit? And would yall recommend me being a noob to do this?

Everyone was a noob. We all used the hack kit or some other variant. Any method will come with exact instructions. If for some reason you mess up, those instructions will have always to fix it. If not, it's a guarantee that you are not the first one to have it. In other words, there is a thread specifying exactly how to fix it. If are can read, copy/paste, and follow directions exactly, you will be fine. We've all been there. Root it now, and then have fun picking from the ample supply of great roms that are available.

Indeed! Just as Inarius03 said, everyone had to start from the beginning at some point. It cannot be stressed enough: read everything! I am still reading through everything and it can feel overwhelming sometimes. But if you take it slow and do your homework, it can be quite fun.
For me, the process that works is: read the manual for the hack kit and/or rom and follow the forums for a few days to understand what issues people are facing. Come up with a couple of "backup plans" in case something goes wrong, and this will go a long way toward making you feel more comfortable with the idea of rooting and flashing your phone.

Follow the advice that the previous posters have given you. I would recommend you use Attn1's hack kit as being the most reliable and now the easiest to use. Before downloading the hack kit and during the procedure turn off any anti virus or spyware software. This is the step where most people cause themselves problems without even realizing it. Read so that you are familiar with the procedure and don't worry, it is easier than you think. Depending on your internet connection it will not take long to download.

[Q] Need Help updating my infuse to 2.3.5

I need some help please with updating my rooted AT&T Infuse 4G. I don't know the steps and can't find a start-finish on how to do it here nor youtube. Can I get some assistance please? I've finally dumped my iPhone 4 for Android.

Maybe wait for it to come out first

Sorry if I sound harsh, but all of the info is easily found in the development section on how to root and install custom roms. For somebody to make a tutorial on the whole process would take more time than you just reading up a bit. Also, things are constantly changing with how things are done in the process, so making a complete tutorial is basically useless in the long run, that's why there aren't any. Also, it's much better for you if you read up on each step of the process, because then you actually know what you're doing, not just blindly following something.
To actually help you out though, look for the "odin back to stock with root and modded 3e" thread, following those directions will get you rooted. After that, follow the instructions in the op of any rom thread, and it will tell you how to install that specific rom.

Pretty much to figure out what's out there, take the time to read through the dev section. But do NOT post there unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure what you are posting is of use to a developer (e.g. a bug report with complete dmesg or logcat as appropriate, or answering a specific data request from a developer.) People who post stupid questions in the Dev forums tend to get torn a new one. Random questions are far more forgivable here in Q&A.
Seriously - just take some time to read threads without doing anything with your phone, simply to learn and "get a feel" for how things work.
As to 2.3.5 - Sorry, the only 2.3.5 available is our partial Cyanogenmod port. It has a number of things broken about it, so it is NOT ready for general use, definitely not someone who posts "how do I install 2.3.5" here.
Rogers Gingerbread (the most mature Gingerbread release for our phones at the moment) is 2.3.3. Some of the ROMs ported with Hellraiser are 2.3.4. These are fairly mature, but all have their issues.
For example, if you want HSDPA+ speeds or HDMI output you're going to have to stick with 2.2.x (e.g. Froyo).

Thx guys. Ive tried looking for things to read and even read wiki in rooting, roms, kernels, cwm, etc.. The list goes on... I am getting nothing for a starter (noob) to the scene of Android.
I am pretty leet when it comes to iphone jailbreak community because ive been in that scene since the iphone launched back in 07'. I have an understanding of bootloaders, basebands and things. Oh, and no I didnt use noob jailbreaking tools.

[Q] New To Android

Hi! I just got my first Android Phone.
The HTC Inspire.
I've been told I could speed up this phone but I'm also curious to know what else I could do with it?
I used to have an iPhone and I would just change the theme and stuff...
So, I suppose my question(s) is/are;
1. How can I speed up my phone?
2. What can I do with my phone?
3. Is there a site where I can browse custom themes for my phone?
4. how do I add custom ringtones/ringback
5. What are some basic things I should get before I start modding my phone and what are some neat basic add-ons out there to make my phone look "neato"
thanks for taking the time for reading this.

Really? It's here in the forum.

Wow...really...wow. do they not still play the noob video about searching when you first sign up for the site?

Swearing is not allowed in the forums. Only warning. Now as far as the other posts. Welcome to XDA and please do read over the rules you agreed to when you joined. You are expected to search for your answers instead of opening a new thread. Before you brick your phone (make it useless and non returnable) Take a few hours and read up on the stickies. Search around some and read some more. what you are doing is nothing like the Iphone, this is real hacking. Not a simple Security override like jailbreaking. If done wrong you could end up with more problems then you can handle.

[Q] RUU

I came from a T-Mobile vibrant. With those phones flashing a Rom meant simply going into recovery and flashing a zip file.
Now being on an HTC all I see with ROMs is having to push an IMG file. No simple process of just flashing a zip file from recovery
Is this because we don't have S-OFF yet? Or is this just an HTC thing?
Sent from my HTC One S

I don't know of any roms on here that need to be pushed to flash.
You may, if mentioned, need to fastboot (or run a dev executable) to install boot.img. Mainly if going to a 1.78 baseband. That has to do with s-off, but also some devs change the boot/ramdisk for their roms. Just need to be sure you have right rom version for US TMO--and do the usual nandroids
The RUU is differnet and is flashed from pc, not pushed

np--this was confusing for me coming from N1
kinda still is--
just been reading ALOT to try and figure it out
good luck
Ken

Ya, reading is definitely the key. Learned that from back when I preordered the G1.
Took me 4 days of reading before I even attempted to unlock the boot loader on this one s lol

+1
Reduces or eliminates a lot of heartache--
A lot of people never figured that out on my old N1 Forums--
I see here people are a lot better at reading OP and posts prior, but maybe because Forum is relatively new and threads don't have 1 to 2k+ posts yet--

Maybe that's the reason. It is a pain trying to find answers in threads that are like hundreds of pages long.
A good OP is someone that if there's new found answers in the thread like hundred pages in, they'll update the OP with that information. That way you aren't trying to skim thru backwards from someone's post saying "I answered that a few pages ago". Then you have to work backwards trying to find it
Sent from my HTC One S

Agreed,
I usually recommend reading OP page and first and last 20 pages or so. Of course, Search and Google first.
I will say the devs on this forum are very helpful, as are members. One reason I went with the One S over another nice phone like the Galaxy Note. That's another story though--
Anyway--enjoy--
