Is XDA is Providing any Crash course for Computer Engineering buddy..??

For software, google. Just use keywords that describe your problem. For hardware, identify the problem, check if it needs replacing, if it does, is it worth it?
I pretty much learned by trial and error, and using logic when solving computer problems. I haven't gotten any any formal education, but I make a few hundred bucks a month repairing computers. Most of the time it's just a format, so easy money.

Android, Galaxy S4, and the meaning of it all

Okay, so ive been rooting sgs3 devices for family and friends, and I know for the most part WHAT im doing..
Though I still cant seem to fathom one thing.
Ive got a sgs4 now.. GT-I9505.. its a 4g model, kicks ass.. but I want to root it.. now everywhere I read there a models that dont match mine.. now mine is an
XXUAMDE model, and I find every variation other than this.. what I wanna know is how exactly do I determine if my american counterparts will work if I try to use their methods.
Until now my skills have only gotten as far as being able to use premade toolkits and such with my own flair in the areas I think I understand..
Ill be honest, im still classified as a total noob, but I REALLY want to learn more, though have no mentor to run to..
So my question(s) basically are:
How do I determine what rooting methods I find here are safe for my aussie s4(is it commonly reffered to as the international models??)
And what is the most barebones method of rooting;
Eg: plug cable in, upload files x,y,z to phone, punch in command x, add su, bam..?
I just cant seem to grasp a method or explanation that seems to go into the bare details. . Sorry for my ignorance but frankly I have trouble knowing where to post this as I know there is multiple threads for9r the S4 alone.
Thank you in advance for any constuctive conversation, would prefer people comming to only tell me how ignorant I am not post at all.

[Q] In way over my head regarding a Android stick (Mk809III)

Hi guys
First of all, I am not a programmer.. Not even very tech savyy, so if "ordinary" people isn't allowed to ask around here, I apologize. I would also like to mention that english isn't my primary language, so also please forgive me for my bad english.
My problem is that I am in wayyy over my head. I bought an android (hdmi)stick over Ebay and actually kind of expected it to be plug and play. After a bit of playing around and reading up on it I realize that this is far from the case.
The item is an Azurill MK809III
I have the following problems:
When I am trying to use apps that requires a rooted device, they say it isn't rooted. When trying to use apps that doesn't allow rooted devices, the app says it is. I am quite convinced that it is, but I don't know why various apps (also apps which only purpose is to check for root) says it isn't. I would, solely for that reason like to find another (still mediacenter-friendly) rom.
I also find the movies kind of choppy. According to various posts on the internet, it's because of a problem in the way the stock "kernel" handles things. I've read various recommendations of which alternative kernel that should be used. I don't know if another rom will solve this problem also?
The problem is that it's a JUNGLE out there. I honestly don't know how to flash a rom, and when reading up on it it seems VERY complicated. I know from earlier escapades that tech-things often look more complicated in writing, but what worries me the most is that all the guides that I found includes some kind of code.. Is that Linux? And does that mean that I need to have a computer running Linux to do this?
I am a totally virgin when it comes to tampering with things on this level.. I honestly thought it would be a nice "out of the box" alternative to a Chromecast, but boy was I wrong.
Can anyone save me? Either by guiding me through the whole process or maybe just tell me if this is possible without Linux and pointing me in the right direction(s)? I fell over something called "Rockchip Batch tool", but I don't know if that can be used for the process or only to flash back to the stock rom (or maybe I totally misunderstood what its for)
I am of course kind of afraid of breaking my device, so I don't dare to start following some guide on my own initiative, unless someone assured me that it is the right thing to do.
Thank you in advance.. :fingers-crossed:

Adapting roms for the TF0310C (Intel processor) from the TF103C?

Hello all,
I just bought a Transformer Pad TF0310C (after a bunch of research it looks like it is the Best Buy exclusive version of the TF103C which unfortunately has an Intel quad core, 1gb ram, 16gb storage), I am guessing there probably are no roms, or really anything at all for this device (spent an hour or so yesterday trying to find any and all I really found were posts of people trying to figure out what this device equivalent was to try and see if the roms will work for it)? I wish I had researched a bit more before I bought it, but too little too late (it was only $85~ so no huge deal). Assuming there are no roms for it, is it possible to adapt a current rom over to this architecture?
I am familiar with linux, several programming languages (not an expert in any, but definitely know enough of each to get any job done that I have needed thus far), manipulating devices to suit my needs, etc, so I feel that if I had enough documentation and resources available I could get something going, as long as someone with more experience tells me that it is indeed at least possible. There are probably going to be quite a few more people who are going to be looking for them as well as this device is currently a "best seller" on woot.com as a refurb, so I am hoping to try and help not only myself, but possibly the community as a whole by trying to provide at least a rom for the device, if nothing else, it will be a great learning experience for me.
Thanks all!

Hi, I am in the same boat as you and was just wondering if you found anything more on this? Unfortunately, I am not a DEV at all so wouldnt be able to help you out other than perhaps testing things? I have rooted many devices and am surprised there is nothing for this one..- Thanks!

Hey there, I have came across a few things. It looks like at least rooting is possible, it was found and tested that the process and tools to do so from the TF103C work on the TF0310C as well from a forum post I found that I had to use chromes google translate to read here : http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/comment-rooter-votre-asus-tf103c-k010-tf0310c-t101416.html I found it at work yesterday and was going to do more research but am still in the process of moving, so my evening was filled with nothing but moving boxes, lol. I will be doing more research though. I believe it is possible to install Clockworkmod recovery using the TF103C image as well, which might mean that if there are any roms for it, they might work for ours as well!
Here are a few things I found that may or may not end up being useful

(This one, I read on another forum, can be used if you want to possibly install windows 8 on it.)

Thank you for the great info. Did you end up trying anything? I was thinking about trying the tutorial from the marshmallow- rom forum but am a little nervous.

Plz help, I'm new to this all and have a problem with old Coolpad..

So, I need a new phone I know... Unfortunately I'm not currently able to do that and need to figure out what's wrong with mine. I bought it used and it has major issues but I have internet access and would love to learn about coding, progamming, anonymity and the works. Since Google don't help specificly can anybody give me a few tips? I have common since and would really like to learn. Please help and thank you.
Write specifically and exactly what is happening and in what model.
Idk where to start... What isn't happening you mean. I need to somehow figure out if it has corrupted files or something. It's bad and won't do nothing
