I'm sorry if i'm reposting the same thing and i do know that a lot of ppl are getting yelled at for this but I'm really ignorant about this android operating system... i don't know what it is... i don't know what rooting is... or whats the difference between froyo and eclair... Like I've mentioned earlier i don't know anything about this except for the fact that i just bought a new Samsung galaxy S captivate... If anyone can help plz do cause i am lost to no end... Thank you very much...
Rooting gives you administrative control over your phone and allows you to flash custom versions of Android. It basically allows you to have much more control over what you can do on your phone. Froyo, Eclair, etc are the names given to different versions of Android. Eclair is 2.1, Froyo 2.2, and Gingerbread 2.3.
Ohhh... well i think i i root my phone and is currently running eclair but i am trying to run froyo on it... how can i get there.... i'v dont some research on this forum and YouTube lol but the links they give me all came back as dead links... and installing froyo with cognitive is very confusing because the package that i have to install is a lot more than the elair... am i stating this correctly or am i just lost period... LOl thank you for your reply..
stay at version 2.1 eclair and get darkys v9.0.2 the best by far, its a custom rom and is amazingly fast. its easier todo if your on 2.1. so uprgrade to darkys rom. type in darkys rom. and itt has full instructions for noobs
i think the main reason for me to update is because i want to run skype... other then that i love eclair... i don't mind it at all... but for some reason skype only works on 2.2 firmware...
Im new to android too ... I just got my htc legend. The problem is i believe its under "vodafone" branding because everytime i switch my phone on the vodafone logo shows up. So the first i want to do is to remove this ... Can you please help me put here ?
hahha ive just sent my back to the guy i bought it off as mine was unlocked but vodafone branded. i hate it wen they do this. sometimes they even put vodafone stickers on the fone, its so annoying. am not entirerly sure to be fair. maybe reflash the phone . not sure mate
^ Oh man.... i completely new to this ! How can i tell if my phone is in unlocked condition or not ?
And how do i reflash it?
'you're in the right place, give it a couple of weeks and in no time you will be rooting ROMing and modifying like a pro. take it from me who knew nothing about the Android OS and now I'm up there.

I read somewhere in the rules for xda, you should search before posting question
Anyhow, this is a starting point. I don't have the Captivate but I am sure there are many more topics about your phone.

Hey pros and newbs, like me lol, I need help rooting, flashing ... etc for my LG g2x. Yes I chose it over the Samsung Galaxy S2 because it looked and felt smoother when i handled both. But any way, can anyone create a step by step tutorial instead of clicking all these links and sending me to different pages and just keep it on one page? I really want to learn! I tried going about it but just worried about bricking my phone. If any one could help it would mean alot to me, the present and future hackers for android! 8)
Go spend some time reading in the development thread, There are already many thread with lots of information.
Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
Please READ MORE. People are not as willing to help someone who doesn't not seem like they have read the basics. Also slow down with all the "I'm a NEWB stuff". You are most likely to get flammed. Try to seem more mature and you'll get better results and answers.
Assuming you get G2x with Gingerbread you would...
1. NVFlash ClockworkMod (Do this right & and it will be hard to brick)
2. Flash Rooted Rom of your choice. (Gain root access)
To answer your most likely next few question:
WeaponX for 2.3.3
CM7, EagleBlood, MIUI for 2.3.7
(Personal preferences)
What OS u have on your computer? Also go see what version of android u have. 2.2.2 or 2.3.3. After y answer those questions ill walk you through it.

Hi guys,
as i said in the title im completely new to all this. My mum has a desire s and i think the sense software is rubbish..hence i want to install MIUI. I have an iPhone which was extremely easy to JB and ive been searching around for help rooting/flashing an MIUI rom to the Desire S but damn it looks complex :| and im being extra cautious because its my mum's phone and i dont want to brick it.
After searching im still confused..
Do i need to root to flash MIUI?
If so, how? Can i use this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 Is there anything i need to do before and/or after I use this method?
Also, this is the MIUI rom i've found..http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?2543-ROM-HTC-Desire-S-(saga)
It says the kernel is included in the download, but does that require a seperate installation?
Can someone help me please? Been looking around for days and just not getting it :/
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Sorry, I don't want to sound rude , but , have you checked the first couple of pages here on Q&A ? There are at least a couple of threads with similar querries ....
Plus, there's INDEX (with everything you require) for help , as always !
I'd suggest you read more , before even thinking of S OFF or Rooting!
Best of luck ....
i dunno about your 1st question but once u "jb" ur android, the kernel will be in the same zip so that when u flash the rom, u chg the rom and also the kernel. u will need to flash "gapps" as well if the is no play.market app.
as for your question 1 i use a different method so i cant comment on that.
but do be reminded to do each step and tick it off slowly once u done. DO NOT skip/miss a step. I actually took 2 days 2 nights reading through before rooting it, and i still made a mistake(as i was in a hurry for class, wrong timing for rooting). but once u read through the doing part will be quite fast. next thing u know u can flash different roms when ever ur mom gets bored of her phone interface.
try flashing different rom before and see which is faster and slicker.
try getting a "aokp" rom, it give u more to configure around. miui doesnt have a drawer and it looks alot like an iphone interface if that is what ur mom wants.
Hi everyone,
Uhm, i'm not experienced with this stuff, but i wanted to ask, because i saw lots of ways but i still don't know what to try.
What's the best, i mean, safest way to root an One S? I really hate this Sense 4 and those tards from HTC said that "We cannot update it to Sense 5" and stuff (i had a long talk with them). I heard that rooting isn't working all the time, and you can get your device "Bricked" or sort of, so i really wanted to ask if there's a super-safe way or something like that.
And yes, back to my question, i actually have a Mac, so i wanted to know if there's a way to do it on Mac, and where i can find 'super-detailed' explanation of root-ing it. Any help appreciated.
P.S: If there's already a thread of this, please put the link below, thanks again.

Im not sure how to do it on mac as i am on windows 8.1 but all you need to do is flash twrp recovery, download this, place it on your storage and flash it through recovery
Thanks
Thanks, uhm, i want to get CyanogenMod on my One S. Is it stable? Or there still are major glitches? Oh, and uhm, what actually do i do with this SuperSU? Doesn't it needs root to work?
Hey, guys. I have had rooted gt-9105p for quite a while.
Finaly decided to put on CM11. Noticed that I need to have unlocked bootloader and have it 4.2.2 version. I dont realy know what that is or where can I find it, or how to update/unlock it.
I take it that I probobly have old bootloader. Because other than root I havent done anything to my phone.
And could I have even rooted, if my bootloader was locked?
Would apriciate, if someone could help me with the complite newb tut or help trought skype or anything else. (I can download anything as long as it gets me where I want to be)
Is there anything else I should do before putting CM11?
I dont realy understand anything besides rooting. So would be cool to have someone te explain me karnel, bootloader, roms and stuff. I know that there are all kinda infos. But they just explain one by one thing. They dont actualy tell how those things are conected. Like CM11 has its own karnel but you are supposed to be able to change it by it selfe anyway and stuff.. Like what the hell.
I realy want to learn more about android devices because I want to become an android developer aswell. But other than root i dont realy understand anything. Its not like im complite newb to tech stuff. But its just that i get one problem, then i try to find info about it. I find alot of things that just confuse me even more to the point where I dont understand anything anymore..
So yeah. Please help me with bootloading and other android related stuff. I found that thread where was huge colection with tutorials from newbie to dev levels. And one of first ones was the rom change. But it was for stock to stock rom change. But if i change rom, I would rather change it to CM11 or something that I will actualy use not just like that.
Anyhow, thanks for your time.
Hope someone will be willing to help me.

Thats the thing. I dont know where I can find it.
So I dont know which version it is or is it or isnt locked.
Don't worry, u have open bootloader. I think, there isn't any s2 plus phone with unlocked bootloader.
