It's just so easy to search, and there's getting to be too many threads on the exact same thing. I also wonder, how hard is it to make a complete sentence? If it's too hard to do that, wouldn't it be too hard to do most of the things here?
Just my thoughts.

I couldn't agree more! Kind and generous people take the time to answer these questions in depth. Then someone new expects them to regurgitate it because they didn't bother to even look first. Typically the number one rule of all forums is to browse and search first, people should know better! Only start a new thread for help if you have a new/unique situation that you couldn't locate by yourself.
Hi fellas, YEAH !! I"m just a nob
I just bought my first Android Phone, yes....left behind my Iphone 3GS to get into the Real Game now ! ;-)
So, would you people help me know a bit more about this? I need to know how to upgrade my HTC Inspire 4G, from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
Thanks all of you beforehand,
RUben.
At this point, root is the only way. View the stickie, as it has the two root methods, and read read read. Start with reading the root method threads and decide which you want to go with. The key is, don' t be in a hurry to root until you have a fair understanding of what you will be doing.

And now that this has been quoted twice as well, make it 9 times.
Oh Thanks !! Well, I know the root process is the fact that being gaining admin access within the device, in order to make any kind of changes at the kernel level or anything else right ?
Now, my device is unlocked, that necessary means it's also rooted ?
Thanks,
Ruben

Oh Thanks! and Yeah, that was the first post I'd read when I came into this cool website... The thing is, the guide is amazing, and those two ways to root the device seems great !! it's just that, what else after that ? I'm talking about being upgrading to Gingerbread, let's think the bases are ready (rooted, flashed, unlocked..) so then what ? should I download something and use some king of soft to upgrade my Inspire ? You know, I know all about Iphone and the way to jailbreak and unlock and upgraded and so on, but NOTHING about android.. as I said, I'm just starting.. Thanks a lot for all the advises... And SORRY for being posting this on the wrong thread!
Thanks,

Upon reading it, did you miss the part about flashing a rom? Since you want Gingerbread you will need to instal one. Hence the how to instal a rom portion.
The Inspire forums have many subforums. one of them is the dev forum. This would be your next reading material. But I suggest you read the guide again. Good luck.
Oh.. I got it !! The flashing process is basically the installation of a "firmware" into the phone, which would be in this case a gingerbread.
Thanks !

There are quite a few good GB Roms available. I prefer Pure so I use an AOSP Gingerbread rom, but there are sense ones too.
See My Sig and many other users here for their personal set ups. And of Couse I stress the reading. Te Dev forum has so much.

Rom/kernel = gingerbread or whatever (froyo, etc.)
Though there obviously hasn't been an official inspire gingerbread release, what you'll find in the dev section has been modified as required from the gingerbread release for the desire hd, pretty much the same phone.
There's a lot of them. Most of the newer ones are based on gingerbread.
Just keep on reading and u will find all the answers you need. It's s privalge to have s answer given to you without reading lol trust me I know lol

HI,
I recently took this phone from my frend who brought this from US.
It unlocked to any carrier. I have read couple of places about S-Off.
Not sure what it is all about. Before rooting & installing custom ROM I need help from the folks who have done this. There is no removery mod installed on this phone. I dont want to brick this piece hence need rooting instructions from the folks.
Regards
S-on? Then use this.

In truth, we can't make the instructions any simpler than the step by step that was already beautifully done by attn1. If you read it and still don't understand, keep reading it until it makes sense and read the effin manual included with the hack kit. While rooting, if anything goes wrong, follow the manual and don't make any assumptions or redo anything.

Read as many times as necessary and then go ahead...if you get stuck do not stop or close anything, just re read the manual´s troubleshooting section and if are still stuck hit the IRC channel...but do not stop or atempt anything....welcome to XDA...:good:

It will root, unlock, install clockwork mod recovery, and superuser.
After that flash a rom. I will say I use the Rom called "Android Revolution HD 6.3.1" and can hotspot when ever I want, even without the AT&T account.

OK good luck. You could just read a bit, since I have spent hours making a guide or two, many others such as Ronnie and redpoint have spent hours putting guides and grouping all the info here and Devs have spent countless hours creating roms and discovering root methods. You can take some time to read the information and attempt to understand. If something is unclear or you don't quite understand then you can ask questions and I'm sure many people will be glad to help!

it's not that no one here is willing to help you out, you just need to know what you're doing before you do anything because of the huge risks you take in the unlocking process. if you're not willing to put in the time to read about everything before you ask questions and ask for hand-holding, then you should reconsider unlocking.
Here's some material to start with
Sticky #3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232141 (pay attention to rule 1)
Sticky #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
The unlocking thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283760 - read this 5 times over before you actually do anything. and follow each instruction VERY carefully.
Once you're done unlocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286587
Lastly, people are here to help each other, not babysit you through unlocking. If you ask nicely, someone may decide to help you through it. We've all put in hours into reading and researching and searching for answers. Work like this on a phone requires a base level of knowledge so you should strive to learn enough so that you're able to do what you need to in order to unlock your phone. Also, a post like this belongs in the Q&A subforum.
Good luck!

We'll, you can do what you want. But you'll be better off in the long run if you learn to do it the right way. The n5 is a real easy device to root and rom. Learning to do those things rather than using a tool kit will save you a lot of headaches in the future

If you use a toolkit, you'll be back on here begging for help because you bricked your device. If you want to mod, either learn to do it the right way or don't bother at all. Save yourself and the XDA community the headache.
Just to reiterate the above, don't use toolkits. When you need help, it's much harder for us to explain how to fix things if you don't understand our "language".
Not sure how many other people that do this but if a first post says "toolkit" in it, I stop reading.

I'm not entirely sure where I said that I don't know how to do it either way. I've been rooting and installing custom ROMs and firmware since Nexus was first released. I just find it easier (I'm lazy) to use a one click toolkit to get it done. That doesn't mean I don't know how to backup and restore stock.
If I want to use a toolkit and ask for it I really can't understand the judging in here. It's my choice, and your conclusions are that I'm a noob because of it? yeah, what a great and "friendly" community this is. I might save you the headache cus this is just ridiculous.

It takes about two minutes to root without a toolkit. But of course you knew that already!

Relax, don't take it so personally. I get it, you're not a newb. When you come here asking about toolkits with a single-digit post count, it's a fair assumption. Either way I don't see the purpose of toolkits for a Nexus device. I encourage everyone not to use toolkits but to root the proper way. How hard is it to type "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img"? It's not like it's Samsung or something where you have to find exploits and hack to get it unlocked. Google gives us all the tools we need to unlock Nexus devices. You don't have to know how to code or anything to use the tools. There's nothing to gain by using one-click toolkits and root methods, only to lose as you never know exactly what they're doing under the hood. Toolkits cause more problems than they solve, especially when used by those with little to no experience. As someone else pointed as, when inexperienced users use toolkits and inevitably run into problems, it's difficult to explain how to fix it because they don't understand the steps we're telling them to take. It may as well be Greek to them. For these reasons I always discourage the use of toolkits.
Thanks all. I did it the "proper" way
