Hello, new member here. Let me start with I apologize if there is a general tutorial explaining everything I am about to ask, I have looked and cant seem to find one. I know and understand how to root and what the basics are that it allows. I have rooted several phones for the sole reason of cleaning preinstalled apps to make more space. The problem is I bricked my last phone and am now using my new LG G Stylo. I have no real idea about what or how recoveries work. Also kernels and roms. I am looking for a general tutorial explaining pretty much everything about rooting. Like how to mAke and use a recovery, what roms are and how to use them, same with kernels. Nothing too in depth, just the basics so that when I do root this phone I can have a recovery ready and set up, and get the full potential of rooting.
Also if anyone knows of a tutorial for the LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631) that goes over the best setup for this phone for speed,space, an functionality.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
Thank You, Nikkon

Thank you, I thought about there first but figured that doesnt make sense. My questio.s are mainly general. I was only stating my new phone and asking a quick aquestion abbout that, but the main gist of this post has nothing to do with the LG G Stylo. The main questions and even topic of post is general questions just explaining what it means to root and what kernels, roms, etc. actually are. In general. Thank you for some type of feedback tho. Its appreciated.

Hi all I know there is a lot of guides on here for rooting Xooms, but after trying to root my Australian Xoom and bricking it I would really appreciate if someone can write a guide detailing all the steps from what software is need to how to root and install HC3.1
Like I said I know there is a lot of guides on here but I cant risk doing the wrong rooting process again, as the shop wont fall for a faulty app install twice !
Many thanks to all the devs on here making our Xooms so much better!!
What about this one

Hi yes I have seen this one but the guides it links too are not really newbie friendly, they assume I already know what they are talking about

I had no idea what adb was until a week ago, i just went through it all step by step. Its not that hard to learn, as long as you follow it exactly as written you can't go too wrong. If you have any problems there's heaps of people here who can help you anyway.
There is a few guides in the Q & A section, which is where this should have been posted also.

Not development. Moved to Q&A.
I am new to Rooting, i have rooted my LG Thrill using Super One Click and it was a success. The problem is i don't know what to do now? What is something good to have after rooting? I am really liking the custom rom's i see shown on youtube. I also like the tethering for free. I just don't understand where you get the roms, the apps, etc. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Here you go. Every phone (mostly) has their own forums. ROM's can be found in the development section. Just a heads up, you can use the development section, but you can't post in it until you have 10 posts.
I bought a Motorola XT1031 Moto G (System version 210.12.57.flacon_cdma.Boost.en.US sprint - Build KXB21.14-L1.57) with Kitkat 4.4.4 from TextNow and I want to root the phone but it comes with special software from them that I don't want to lose. That software basically integrates the TextNow VoIP service seamlessly with the native dial-pad and controls of the phone. It also lets the owner conveniently know how much cellular data is remaining out of the monthly allowance. It's basically a re-branded Boost Mobile CDMA phone (not GSM).
I'm not used to writing in forums so I apologize in advance for anything I did wrong.
Can I back up what's on it or do I need to do something special?
I'm planning to use an OTG drive but I think I have to root the phone to use it.
This is my first Andriod phone and I could use some help.
What's the safest approach to root the phone that allows me to undo any damage I cause in the process?
Hi there,
All you need for your device is here: [RC-FAQ] >> Frequently Asked Questions for Motorola Moto G [Updated : 2014/02/08]. Read part where is about root, see post 2, Q8 ...
For other questions use same forum for Q&A.
Good luck
Thank you, R_a_z_v_a_n.
This thread you posted has a lot of helpful information but I haven't found anything specifically related to the special TextNow software described in post #1 (or maybe I missed it?). I tried using the thread 'Search' feature with the keywords 'TextNow' and 'Text Now'. I'm hoping to find another TextNow user on this thread with the same situation I'm in and a successful story to learn from his or her experience, assuming I'm not the first person to root a phone with the specifications I mentioned above.
Rooting an Android looks like a risky procedure because I've seen many threads where people complain about stuff not working properly after their attempts. From the lessons learned from other posts it seems to me that I will have to compromise something to root the phone and I want to know what it is before I begin. Thanks again
I'm also curious to know if anyone out there is interested in the result I'm trying to achieve in this thread.
For any other questions please post here:

I would like to learn how to root a device but I'm not sure where to start. Pretty much I want have a more streamlined system that is more secure. It's currently an android device. LG G Pad VK700. The carrier is Verizon. I have used Linux a lot and done live builds along with kernel builds. Nothing really custom though. I was told this was the forum to hit up.
Where do I get started? Any recommended books?
I'm more interested in learning the entire process of rooting a device and developing and installing a custom ROM than in a quick download this app.
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
It should work as reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60319213&postcount=170
Good luck!
I have been searching, reading, and attempting everything I could find to fix this tablet for night and days. Some root/busybox detectors/verifiers gave me different results. Before this I knew nothing about this world so i'm a real greenhorn here. All I know so far is my device is rooted because of build no. V2.0.1.JRO03C.user.root.20131219. Afterwards some apps tell me I'm rooted and some told me no. I'm afraid something went terribly wrong with the files. I can't unroot,flash a new recovery, install adb, pretty much nothing works. All the apps I've tried told me an unknown bootloader. I just want to either return the tablet to original factory default or take control of the thing. This is the info I gathered from settings>about :
Model NX007HD8G
Android V. 4.1.1
Kernel 3.0.8
Serial no. YF031412173
And the build number above
At the moment I don't know what other info you guys might need so forgive me if I'm not thorough. Please, help me take control of my device.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Although there are some guides that could help you solve your problem, none of them seem to have working links for you to download and use.
Because of this, I would recommend posting in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please note that in order to post, you will need to create a XDA account.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
