Hi all. It appears there are quite a few stickies now and you need to scroll halfway down the page to find that rom or mod you are looking for. This is where you can find the "Stickied" pages that usually appear on top of everything else. Just click the link and you're good.

can I root my thunderbolt using a mac computer? Also can anyone recomend a website for reading up.on how to root my device and how and where to get cuatom roms?
i find it kind of odd that you're asking such a question on xda ....
(look around, it's all right here. check out development and q&a to learn how)
Short answer - yes
Information on rooting and custom roms can be found in the "Thunderbolt Android Development" forum.
jcase has an excellent step by step thread on the rooting process titled "[ROOT] MR1/OTA PermRoot + Unlock Bootloader - Safer/Easier 5/12/2011"
You will need the Android Debug Bridge (adb) shell installed on your mac in order to use jcase's process. Google something like "how to install adb on a mac" and you will find all kinds of helpful information. Downloads and manuals are also available at developer.android.com.
DemoManMLS has a thread on thunderbolt roms and kernels titled "The Official Thunderbolt ROMs & Kernels Listing v2.0 (Updated 5/28 9:45 PM CST)".
Hope this helps get you started.
There is also a thread in Android Development for OSX (say that 10 times fast). I don't know if it's the "easier/safer" method, but I know it'll get you the platform tools you need.
GALAXY 3 (I5800/I5801) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION, TROUBLESHOOTING, GENERAL HELP !!!
IF YOU ARE NEW TO XDA AND/OR TO THE DEVICE, OR NEED A GOOD PLACE TO START OFF WITH, OR WANT TO KNOW ABOUT SOME REALLY BASIC STUFF RELATED TO THE DEVICE, YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING POST(S). OTHERWISE, ASKING FOR HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER SUB-FORA, WILL ONLY MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AT YOU. MUST READ ON !!!
So, recently there has really been lots of mess created over the XDA forums due to careless behaviour of some newbies and disregarding of the rules and guidelines by many. So, as a part of the initaitive by the moderators, and contributors, this thread is being published.
FIRST THING FIRST, THIS IS ONLY FOR GALAXY 3 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GALAXY S3)!!
ANY OF THE STEPS FROM THE LINKED GUIDES/FORA, IF NOT FOLLOWED CORRECTLY MAY HARM/DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE, FOR WHICH THE XDA/DEVS/MEMBERS ARE NOT RESBONSIBLE IN ANY WAY.

Guidelines
Some general guidelines (not rulles!) to follow -
1. Dont post in the wrong forum. Any development thread goes to development section. Any stuff related to themes, apps, games, shares general mods etc, go to themes and apps section. Any query, obviously, shall go to q&a section. Rest go to general.
2. Searching is key to a happy life on XDA . Never post without searching. If you are sure that what you want is not there on WHOLE of XDA, then post it.
3. Refrain from making posts like "thank you dev/ great work man/ thank you/ good luck/ best wishes" in development threads. Keep the development threads as clean as possible.
4. Questions will not be entertained in the development thread.
5. ETA (Estimated time of arrival) will not be entertained in any development thread. Asking again and again will not make it better, but may make it worse.
6. If you post in threads without following the above guidelines, you are actually putting yourself and others in trouble.
7. Use the
Thanks button to thank the dev/member, dont write it as a post.
SOME BASIC STUFF RELATED TO GALAXY 3, WORTH KNOWING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE !!
ROOTING -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITION - Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OSX.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCESS - Android 2.1 (Eclair) - Use the app Z4Root from market
Android 2.2 (Froyo) - Link
Android 2.3/4.0/4.1/++ (Gingerbread/Ice cream sandwich/Jelly Bean) - No need, if you are on one of these, you are already rooted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUT WHY TO ROOT ?? - Link
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHING -
1. STOCK ROMS can only be flashed via ODIN. For a guide on how to use ODING, head HERE
LINK : TO GUIDE ON HOW TO USE ODIN FOR FLASHING STOCK/CUSTOM ROMS/KERNELS !
2. CUSTOM ROMS can be flashed either via ODIN or via CWM Recovery (Once you have it - see 2nd post) depending on the type of the file provided by the dev. .tar files need ODIN. update.zip files can be flashed via CWM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK AND CUSTOM ROMS -
For any stock ROM (2.1/2.2) go to LINK
For a comprehensive list of all available custom ROMs and Kernels head here.

Root didnt work?
Hello,
I attempted to root My European Xoom which is on JB 4.1.2 Folowed the instruction from FAQ How do I root my device.
I followed all the instructions from Manual Root Way, by XxLordxX and everything went fine. Did exactly as said so when I finally reached the point where you download "Root Checker Basic" and it says Sorry! This device does not have proper root access. But there is a superuser app but it doesnt do much. So whats gone wrong guys?
Plus once this problem is fixed do I need to do Step 5: Backup Image to SD card and Step 6: Restoring Image from SD card?
To load a custom rom.
Cheers

Hi,
Thanks for following my guide! I will try helping you as much as possible! Please, try opening Superuser app and checking if it has the su binary (SU app usually does it automatically). And for step 5 and 6 are not necessary to load a custom ROM .
Cheers,
~Lord

Thanks Lord, sorry for the late reply Ive been having laptop problems.
Ive opened the superuser app It has 3 tabs on the top Apps, Log, Settings. I go into settings and at the bottom in Superuser information heading, it has Su Binary v3.0.3.1 tap to check for updates. When i click on that it checks for updates and then says checking available version failed.
