Hi guys
i am new to rooting devices i have jailbroke my ipad etc but i have always had android mobiles in particular nexus 4/5/6
i am looking to root my device the sole reason being so i can use Hound on my phone. can someone point me in the right direction on where to start with this currently running *nexus 6 with latest firm update*
thanks for the help in advance
Hi,
Before asking this basic question on a very popular development friendly device, I would suggest you visit the N6 section, here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6
The General section has a Roll up Index thread which likely has the help you need, and there are other great guides and tutorials in the General and Q&A sections.
If you get stuck after doing your homework....you can ask for help in the Nexus 6 Q&A section. This hobby takes a LOT o reading. You will find it tough to get help if you don't read read read first. Especially with a Nexus device, where there is lots of info here for those. Also, the more you know, the less likely you will run into troubles with your device.
Good luck!! And I will close this thread.

XDA has dedicated forums for specific phone models like
Sony Xperia Z4/Z3+
T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge
Moto X (2014)
etc.
I request the admin to create a new dedicated forum for lenovo a7000.
Currently the one which is being used is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/che...uest-cwm-twrp-recovery-lenovo-a7000a-t3102588.
and you can very well see that this thread is getting very disorganized as the number of replies is getting increased.
I hope the staff of XDA will consider my humble request and look into this matter.
Thanks
]Hi there,
Please ask in the *** New Device Forum Requests *** thread.
But keep in mind that xda can not create dedicated device forums for all devices available.
Good luck

Thread Closed and thank you.
Hi all,
this thread is started to give every device it's own Ask Away help thread. Although I cannot answer all questions about devices I do not own, I think this is a valuable addition to the XDA forum/services and hope that other members are willing to create these threads and thus answer questions about devices I do not own, that's what XDA stands for. I created a template for these threads, see the examples in post #2 and #3.. Really hope you are willing to use this template, cause it combines the best of two worlds: A very basic Q&A template and, whenever present, the Index Project for that certain device. Whenever you are prepared to use this, you will have all the information about a certain device you want and can get in one thread only..
When you decide to create a Ask Away help thread for a specific device, please place a link in this Ask Away thread, for two reasons:
1. So we know that such a thread exists and is created.
2. It can be added to post #8 of this thread. Thanks for your cooperation!!
BTW, if you want to start such an device specific Ask Away thread, create the thread in the Q&A section of that specific device!!
How to create an Ask Away help thread, using the template, see post #6 of this thread
BTW, the Portal team mentioned our Ask Away help threads in their News columns, see:
Portacle Article/Mention

Thank you kuzibri.
I started a thread to see how it is accepted

Nice work, this looks promising:good:
How to use the template?
Hi all,
this is the template I use to create these threads (I publish the template of the Z1, the only things you need to change, when you want to use this template, is the name of the device, the link to an image of the device and the link to the "overview" of the device): And when there is an Index Project page of your device, you also need to change the link. BTW, what you also have to do is place at the beginning of each sentence CENTER and at the end of it
/CENTER and insert [ ] before and after it. Do not know how it happens, but all the time I adjust the template with these CENTER's (even after going Advanced), they disappear after saving the template.

Great idea kuzibri. Templates are perfect. If all users will use same format it will make it much easier to recognize when viewing.
I hope to start a few of my own for some not so known phones when i get time.

there is a possibility that this thread will be moved from "General Discussion > About xdadevelopers.com" to the "Main XDA General forum", since there is much more traffic.

Can't override the team in charge of this section, because they know why and how they want things stickied.. You'll have to PM this moderator on the matter for any further clarification, but I wouldn't worry about it either way, it's pretty visible.
Moved thread to General
Hi all,
since this thread is moved from "about developers,com" forum to the "genera"l one, there are no reactions anymore untill now, is this accidental or not? If you want to move it to back to the "about xda-developers,com forum" again, please let me know, I only changed the forum on a suggestion by someone, who suggested to me that traffic in the General section would be much more than in the "About" section. Not have seen this yet.

I am going to leave the thread here. It will get the same amount of traffic. If a thread is not getting too many replies, then it's just that it is not getting replies. You can see many threads in both forums that are very very active.
This thread is more informational than needing a whole lot of action anyways, someone can read it and if they want to use the template can do so without needing to reply in thread about it.
So how it is right now I think is fine.

That's fine, but realize this takes a lot of work to create, so you're not going to have a million people lined up ready to make one in 2 seconds and post here.
