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.

trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help
Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.

Welcome to XDA. You use a Thunderbolt but you're posting in the Captivate subforum. I'm giving you a link to the Thunderbolt area of XDA, from there, do your own research by reading through the stickies contained in the various subforums and learn to use the search button. There is also a great sticky linked in my signature all noobies need to read, New Member Guide, Getting the Most out of XDA - click on it and read.
Ok guys so I hate this phone, I've never wanted to punt a phone up until now, It freezes, crashes, and is extremely annoying but I thought hey maybe if I root it and install a custom rom it make my experience with this phone much better since that's how it went with my G2. I know there are plenty of roms and root instructions out there I was wondering if could get some suggestions or recommendations.
So here is my question, rooting, I found this pretty neat one click roo for this phone, do you guys suggest it? Or is there a better way of doing it?
Second question, I've seen a rom for this phone called RAGE and that's it would you guys be able to suggest a great rom for this phone?
I've only ever rooted the G2 and used CM rom, so ima little new to the rootng world.
Thank you guys so much in advace!!

Wrong section.
You can't use cwm with this phone only the recovery and you should already have if your rooted.

I've been there so I'll help you out. Just follow the instructions on the following 2 YouTube vids:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5zoQxUOJgI&feature=BFa&list=UUUKQzwuURouARj0mfMBBsig
They're not the best videos but they get the job done...at the end you will be rooted and have the red CWM installed.

Wrong, if a person uses super one click to root it just gives you root access no custom recovery.

Eww, asking a noobie questions plus posting on the development thread. Will a moderator be my angel!
Anyways so you don't have to spam our forums with non-sense, follow this guide to the point. DON'T ever trust YouTube videos for hacking your phone, I learned that the hard way. The only true place to hack your phone is right here in XDA Forums.
My job here is done and thread reported.

Yes wrong thread, but he's a noob. YouTube videos actually work perfectly, I followed them to the T.
BTW it's a good thing this forum has people like you to keep it in check.
thanks Paulx777 and th3controller

Hi Infuse 4G community!
I will soon be leaving my Atrix4G at its best with MROM7 and heading here. I am aware of naive "best rom" posts are, however I ask you to please suggest a few. I've checked out the development section and one that immediately caught my attention was Beanstalk 4.3. If you would be so kind to suggest some ROMs based on experience, it would help a lot.
Also, I have not yet touched my Galaxy Infuse i977. Therefore I have no idea how to root it (in terms of requirements for the BeanStalk ROM). I've looked up a few guides but because it's Gingerbread 2.3.6 it seems to have problems rooting the SuperOneClick way. If any of you would please guide me step by step on how to achieve that marvelous Beanstalk ROM or one even better (a matter of opinion) would be greatly appreciated. I am somewhat experienced with my atrix4g, but clvery confused on the procedures for infuse i977. Is anyone out there willing to help me out step by step? Please and Thank you.

Best advice I can give you is to start reading.
