Hello All,
Well I just want to start out by saying hello to my fellow xda freaks! I'm new here and I'm learning how to be an advanced user of my Samsung Galaxy S 3!! I'm extremely excited about learning the ropes of getting the most out of my Galaxy!! I would like to learn first of all how to Root my phone. Also My carrier is US Cellular could someone please tell me which forum I should be in as I did NOT see US Cellular listed in the forums for the Galaxy S 3? It would also be great if someone could point me in the right direction of where I should start reading and learning the ropes of rooting my phone and another question I have is should I learn other things before I go right into learning how to root the phone? I know how to use my phone pretty well to the point where I think I'm above needing to learn the basics if you will. Any help is and will be greatly appreciated in getting started here so I can learn I'm really excited and can't wait to learn more! Until then I'll be reading through this site and learning as much as I can hopefully someone will know where I can go to get on my way to learn the good stuff about my phone!! Again I want to thank you all for the help you will hopefully be giving me it's greatly appreciated very much so!!! Thanks again!!!
Look around the android development/original android development forums

If you browse around the development forums you should be able to find more information about how to root your phone and such. Many of the rom developers there have a rom that is labeled specifically for the phone. Look in the title. It should say [d2usc] for your model. Also posted at the top of the original android development thread there's a toolkit. That might have the rooting info your looking for. Also I would highly recommend looking in Android development and reading all(yes ALL) of the stickies posted there. They have a lot of helpful information that can help if you have a problem or prevent it from happening in the first place. After you've learned yourself some knowledge have some fun and happy flashing!

Hello,
I am somewhat new to xda forums and Im glad to be here.
I wanted to ask for some help regarding developing android applications and programs, as I am somewhat lost in the beginning stages of the process. I havent successfully downloaded the correct programs in order to begin so I guess if someone could help in that regard. However more importantly I would like to know if there is anyone who would be willing to be my official dev. trainer/tutor to teach me the basics so that I can actually have a chance at developing something.
I know ive seen a no noobs section so I know pros must be looking at my post like "just another noob". But I am really interested in learning and I would appreciate someones help and guidance. Thanks and I hope someone decides to help.
First of all, no one will dedicate his time to teach you. some have work/school and other important stuff to do other than teaching you.. But im sure they can offer you a minute to post here the things you need to read and answer the problems you have..
maybe the first thing to do is to list down what have you already accomplished, like what you already read about programming, about android programming and such stuff..
so that people can point you to your next step. at this point it seems that you are totally lost and dont know here to begin, and so the pros who wants to help you..
goodluck and dont lose hope..
First Off, I am a Noob at modding i am learning daily like all the rest of us but I want to give a little advice to my other Noob friends. If you are looking for something on Nvflash or rom instalation help use the search bar at the to of the page first. You will be amazed how much information and detailed instructions there are and probably can get most of the common questions answered faster than waiting on a reply. If your problem is complex then by all means ask away here, this community is awesome and will help you out. I just think searching and reading can help out the congestion of common questions and save the time for the big Ugh Ohs we run into!!!!

This is good advice. We were all noobs at one point or another. If those searching for help and good answers would just take the time to search, read, search and read some more they would most certainly discover that chances are very good someone before them had the very same or simular problem and the solution is most certainly posted somewhere in this forum.
XDA is all about community and the help is there, one only need to search.
hi everyone, im new to XDA & also new to Android OS. I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me understand XDA & how the rooting process works.
any experienced rooters out there looking for a student??
What device do you have/ what specifically do you want to know about rooting and or xda
Far as learning what XDA is all about, this thread is a good place to start.
Welcome to the XDA community! I'm still relatively new to the Android OS as well, and my knowledge expands greatly by the day here. Really, the best way to learn XDA is to explore it all and read a lot before posting!
XDA is the resource to goto, to find out how to do stuff. However, don't shy away from using Google to familiarize yourself with the jargon used in the Android mod community. It is invaluable to know what rooting, bootloader, recovery, fastboot and adb mean, before attempting to modify your phone/tablet to something better software wise.
I haven't been around too long but I've successfully flashed roms on 3 phones if you need anything pm me. And I've done a little bit more but not much. My most advanced knowledge is making the hello world app with java lol. Good luck to ya and welcome.
The device specific forums are the best place to get rooting info for your phone. You'll find guides and wiki therein.
You might want to watch this guide to learn more about XDA itself:

Hi all, i need some help with the galaxy s2. i want to mod this phone so i can get free apps, change the way it looks and works, and to keep up with the lads at work who have modded mobiles!! but im a complete noob when it comes to anything like this and have no idea on what im doing. i can see alot of posts on here saying modding and rooting etc.... but which 1 does what? ive read through most of them and still dont fully understand! can someone please point me in the right direction for a beginners guide to modding galaxy s2 or give me a idea on what i should do to make it better!! thanks alot and hi to all agiain as i am new to this site!!
start by reading on the forums of your device, there are lots and lots of info you can pick there, once you have some idea and have some doubts, you can ask more specific questions, that ppl will be more eager to reply and help you, but none will come to give you a "for dummies" introductory guide
Nice device btw, grats and good luck
thanks for quick reply. ill have a look at what youve said and see if there is any other questions i may have
Hello all, i'm sure this should probably be in the general section but the Inspire/DHD community has always been so much more helpful. It really bothers me that i'm not able to give back to this community more & would love nothing more than to learn how tr develop & theme more on my device but I've searched & searched but while there is alot of info available, it's kind of overwhelming in the sense that i have no idea where to start or which guide to use. I'm a pretty fast learner & i know how to fix anything that goes wrong with my devices but i need to learn more. I want to help more. So basically, I'm not asking anyone to explain everything android to me but just to maybe point me in the right direction of where to start & any useful tips because i am very serious about this. Are there any classes i need to take? Thanks so much for taking the time to read this any advice or direction is highly appreciated. Have a great day/night :')
I have no idea about this stuff but good luck!
