You can start there, as it has just about everything you'll need to get it done. You'll need to have enabled adb and unchecked the update recovery before hand.
You can pm me if needed, but you don't need to pay.

Thanks for the generous offer, which I appreciate big time.
scumpicule/Sebestian wants to do both free of charge, but I replied that shall donate, on line using Team Viewer and Skype, but the only drawback is he doesn't have a OPO.
Best Regards, shall keep you updated.

Even if he doesn't have a OnePlus One, it's still fairly straight forward, but you should still take the help as they should 'hopefully' know what should be happening.
From my experience, I would highly recommend NOT rooting on windows xp as you'll have driver issues. Windows 7/8 is fine; I have no experience with a Mac.

True, but I have W7 running and Seb installed the drivers fine.

Some smart member PM me, unlock boot loader, root, flash my Chinese OPOs.
Ready to donate.
Thanks.

IF you have to have someone else root your phone then what do you plan on doing if whatever you do with it afterwards gets messed up. May I suggest you try and figure it out as it will only lead you down a darker path if something goes wrong and you dont know what to do....

I have to agree here. Having someone else unlock/root your device is an awful idea. The whole unlocking process is an essential learning experience, if you skip that you're heading into dangerous waters. If/when something goes wrong you'll have no idea what to do, and the first thing you'll do then is create an unnecessary thread begging for someone to fix your phone. OP, do yourself a huge favour and start reading, then do some more reading, and then more reading, see where I'm going here?

You didn't read a thing I said before did you. I'm not going to unlock your device for you. I don't want or need your money. Getting someone else to unlock your device for you is a very bad idea for the reasons I outlined in my previous post.
This phone is very easy to unlock, all you need to do is follow some simple instructions. You'll find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
If you don't want to learn how to do this then you really shouldn't be modifying your device in the first place. Having a modified device requires a certain level of knowledge so that you don't brick your phone, if you don't want to spend the time learning then you're best off just leaving the phone stock.

Have I just "bricked" my new phone - Nexus S 4G

Forum says no noobs but, the other forum options didn't seem to fit with my issue. If this is in the wrong place, please point that out to me.
I just purchased my NS4G today and tried rooting it. The end result leaves me at a Google screen with a padlock on the bottom.
I have searched a lot and have read about a lot of fixes but, none of them are working. I am at my wits end.
I tried to download recovery images and flash them but my CMD just says cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
I have tried removing the battery, entering recovery mode and wiping everything to no avail.
Am I completely screwed?
Ok, so I was able to get the recovery image flashed, but i rebooted and still get the google screen.
Any tips?
Ok, making some progress. I got the ClockworkMod Recovery working however, I cannot mount my phone..
I've installed the Samsung drivers, ADB, and Android SDK, but I'm not able to send Superuser to the device..
Any clues?
Allow me to add to my external monologue.
I can't seem to mount my NS4G as a USB Mass Storage device. Windows 7 is not recognizing the phone...
What to do, what to do...
So now I really am stuck. I can't load this Superuser zip onto the phone because my USB Mass Storage is not working.
Please, anyone, lend a guy a hand. I'm confused and worried.
Thank you.

You're in fastboot. Just press the power button to reboot the phone or use the volume buttons to select a different option.

Yep, and that's fine but there could be a day when something goes wrong where that bootloader could come in handy. Always good to know your phone, especially if you're in a development forum.

But it did gave me a mini heart attack.I was like "waaatttt" and as for rooting:its really hard for beginners!.n5 is my first android,previous phone was iPhone 5.Jailbreaking the iPhone was so easy compared to all technical stuff that comes with rooting. Anyway my friend is rooting my n5 for me yesterday.i will watch him to do it(this sounded wrong)
Dev will always be in minority,its obvious.and as for xda developers the name does suggest it for developers and wires and 2+2=5 stuff and whatnot.but yeah the site is filled noobs and newbies.but those devs rocks!

Well maybe those people would find a forum like Android Central better suited to their needs. As previously stated, XDA is a development forum, not a general Android support forum. If they aren't planning on rooting, then XDA really isn't for them.

[Q] Download

Hello everyone. There is a thread with a root toolkit, here.
But I can't seem to dowload the kits from the download tab. Nothing happens. I can't use direct download or torrent. None of them results in anything.
There no problem downloading from other sites, I have rebooted my router, restarted my PC, cleared cache and so on.
Any tips or alternate links?
Thanks

We'll, you can do what you want. But you'll be better off in the long run if you learn to do it the right way. The n5 is a real easy device to root and rom. Learning to do those things rather than using a tool kit will save you a lot of headaches in the future

If you use a toolkit, you'll be back on here begging for help because you bricked your device. If you want to mod, either learn to do it the right way or don't bother at all. Save yourself and the XDA community the headache.
Just to reiterate the above, don't use toolkits. When you need help, it's much harder for us to explain how to fix things if you don't understand our "language".
Not sure how many other people that do this but if a first post says "toolkit" in it, I stop reading.

I'm not entirely sure where I said that I don't know how to do it either way. I've been rooting and installing custom ROMs and firmware since Nexus was first released. I just find it easier (I'm lazy) to use a one click toolkit to get it done. That doesn't mean I don't know how to backup and restore stock.
If I want to use a toolkit and ask for it I really can't understand the judging in here. It's my choice, and your conclusions are that I'm a noob because of it? yeah, what a great and "friendly" community this is. I might save you the headache cus this is just ridiculous.
Thanks anyway for your heartwarming words.
It takes about two minutes to root without a toolkit. But of course you knew that already!

Relax, don't take it so personally. I get it, you're not a newb. When you come here asking about toolkits with a single-digit post count, it's a fair assumption. Either way I don't see the purpose of toolkits for a Nexus device. I encourage everyone not to use toolkits but to root the proper way. How hard is it to type "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img"? It's not like it's Samsung or something where you have to find exploits and hack to get it unlocked. Google gives us all the tools we need to unlock Nexus devices. You don't have to know how to code or anything to use the tools. There's nothing to gain by using one-click toolkits and root methods, only to lose as you never know exactly what they're doing under the hood. Toolkits cause more problems than they solve, especially when used by those with little to no experience. As someone else pointed as, when inexperienced users use toolkits and inevitably run into problems, it's difficult to explain how to fix it because they don't understand the steps we're telling them to take. It may as well be Greek to them. For these reasons I always discourage the use of toolkits.
Thanks all. I did it the "proper" way

[Q] How do I ROOT the Nexus 5!?

I tried both toolkits in the Origional Android Development sections and neither of them work. They all ask for a donation. I do not want to donate until I can verify that it works. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to root my phone.
I am on Android 4.4.4 on T-Mobile.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

first things first, if you have no idea whats going on do not use root toolkits.
secondly, we have wonderful sticky posts here to make it easy to find useful info, rooting a nexus 5 is useful.
the basics..
1. use fastboot to unlock your bootloader
2. use fastboot to flash a custom recovery
3. use that new custom recovery to flash supersu, the superuser(root) binaries
4. boot up with root.
5. now why do we need toolkits?

because too many people that use toolkits are brand new, and they dont learn the very basics of modding the phone by skipping that step. then later on, when all there is to do is some basic maintenance, they freak and think they destroyed their device. or many similar stories like that. anyways, i dont have any issue with toolkits overall, just the newest users. what id like to see is a toolkit that also explains the basics, so the user can learn the basics. anyways, with nexus devices, its just as easy doing it properly. if you have fastboot installed, the process takes 3-4 minutes.

Used this yesterday to root my new N5, worked great. Only issue I had was that I couldn't push SuperSU to /sdcard. Used the sideloader and it loaded fine then.
Just use towelroot

Still, like tool kits, doesn't teach the basics that are needed to fix problems. If then person already knows these basics, fine but if not. They're a burden on this forum and us when we're trying to help so only suggest this to people who know what they're doing.

first things first, if you have no idea whats going on do not use root toolkits.
secondly, we have wonderful sticky posts here to make it easy to find useful info, rooting a nexus 5 is useful.
the basics..
1. use fastboot to unlock your bootloader
2. use fastboot to flash a custom recovery
3. use that new custom recovery to flash supersu, the superuser(root) binaries
4. boot up with root.
5. now why do we need toolkits?
now check here to get detailed instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...urce-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527

[Q] Please help a total noob with updating my OPO

Hi guys,
Backstory: This is my first phone that I have ever rooted and kernel (franco). I was able to root my OPO with the links I have found on this subreddit (took me an hour because I am a noob). However, I am still new to "flashing, wiping, zip" etc terms.
Currently my OPO is: 11.0-XNPH33R
Kernel Version 3.4.0 franco.kernel #22
This is all that I have done with my phone. No other mods or customization. I want to update to the 38R.
I have seen the links in this subreddit on how to update without wiping data on the phone with modded 38Rs files and etc.
The thing is, I still feel uncomfortable with how to update my phone because the steps I see is "....flash this, boot that, reflash this..." etc.
I need some detailed directions, as if I am a total noob. Step by step directions.
I currently have the OTA update on my phone's update setting.
I am asking wholeheartedly to find someone who is willing to spend the time and effort to help a noobie like me in updating my phone. (I hope this will teach me on how to update my phone in the furture by using this as a reference)
What are my steps to update my phone? (Please be very specific)
Please forgive a noob like me. I thank you for taking your time to help me.

That's awesome. But, @PaoloMix09, why do it via PM? The whole point of having a q&a section is so that valuable information is readily available for those who are seeking it. The help you have given is of no benefit to the community if it's buried in an inbox where nobody can see it. In future could you please assist people in the threads? That way everyone benefits [emoji1]

Totally understand. I actually helped through hangouts. Reason being, since he is just learning, wanted to provide guidance and him being able to reply to me asap helps a lot. He was also asking many questions, best way was definitely on chat this time. Not only replying to him in here would've taken longer, but he probably wouldn't have understood some things. Just what I think.
I will try to respond on here more often.
