I have stock 4.4.2 android on my phone. I have no idea what to do. I couldn't find a video or anything to guide me through it. Can someone explain it or maybe link a video or forum post?

Can't be done. Once you are on stock 4.4.2 with the locked bootloader, you cannot install any AOSP ROMs. You can run safestrap and there is currently only one 4.4.2 touchwiz based ROM to run through safestrap.

The first thing you need to do is root your phone. Use towel root (Google it).

First off, thanks go out to: CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD!
A couple days ago I tested DoomLorD's Xperia X10 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) on my windows 7 vm after using my [Heimdall][UVKJ6] Back-To-Stock Heimdall One-Click.
Today I was also successful rooting from my debian linux vm using methods 2b and 4 from this page: [HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method)
If you are feeling squeamish, there is also a noob friendly guide in pdf format available.
I hope you find this useful.
Cool. Gonna try it on my dads phone and come back. Thanks.

Great! Let me know how it goes.
I saw another thread where they had taken the same process, but ported to mac and linux. I might test that as well, and if it works, I'll update the op.
Does this work better than SuperOneClick?

Well, I guess the SuperOneClick in the new link in the op now also uses the zergRush Exploit.
Anyways, thanks go out again to CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD for their great howto, guide and hacks!

Hey, cool! I wanted to try a smaller set of testers at first
I'll post in the dev section after I get some testing.
For me, so far so good. Almost an hour on the new kernel.
You know you don't need this thread if you use that kernel.
If you feel like testing, check out: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11298-beta-kernel-testers/
Nothing fancy going on yet. Just stock kj6 from source with cwm+voodoo lagfix. I just want to build up a QA base for testing changes.
Don't comment about the kernel in this thread. If you don't have a rootz login, please PM me if you find problems.

Waiting upon responding.

Your both in the wrong forums. Good look for a forum for your specific phone or tablet.
I just rooted my ATT One x and I need to install CWM so that I can install Cyanogen mod 10 jelly bean but I cant find any download files for it or any videos on how to do it. If someone can help that'd be great

CWM is not supported. Flash TWRP found in the Android Development
You need to slow down and relax a little bit. Read more before flashing because this phone seems really easy to brick. There's a thread in development that has all the links you need. Its a sticky

So, man, I'm trying to update my Razr HD to JB.
I am rooted on ICS, and plan on installing the JB service version I got from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095097
The thing is: as I haven't unlocked my bootloader, and would like to keep it that way, I've been trying to install the safestrap recovery I got from here: http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/safestrap/
But up till now, I've been receiving a FAILED message when installing the rom in the rom-slot-1.
Don't know where i'm going wrong. Any ideas? Or any other way I could install the ----- Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean - 98.21.6.XT925.Brasil.en.BR -----
Service Version?
Thanks!
not sure if voodoo root keeper will survive jb 4.1.2 , look into that , also I suggest to post here

Hello guys. I need some help with installing a custom ROM for my friends Nexus 5. He either wants an Android L ROM or a CM11S ROM. They need to be good for daily driver at least. He prefers Android L if possible. He is running KITKAT 4.4.4, 3.4.0 kernel and KTU84P build number. Baseband is M8974A-2.0.50.1.1.6. He is fully stock. I would like a guide to install a custom recovery and then the ROM. Please give me clear instructions and be 100% about what you say because if it breaks he can't afford a new one. Thanks in advance!
Nothing is 100% Maybe you shouldn't be doing it for him until you read up on it. That's lots of guide. See the roll up sticky in the general forum

I'm just asking for links pretty much explaining the procedure for my friends phone. I already told you his phone's details. If I find some guides that I'm sure they work then I'm ok.

He wants a daily driver custom rom and he is thinking about flashing a rom based on a developer preview build? ^^
Guides provided here are safe if you follow all the rules.

Why do you want to root your phone, if you want to change your rom?
You just need a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) in which you can flash your favorite ROM.
Here is a beginners guide, which i found in this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Step 2 & 5 are, what you are intrested about.
Just read carefully and follow the instructions and there will be no problems.
Good Luck
