hello, I am a new member. I have a couple questions about rooting my phone and the basics. I understand how to root a phone I have done several so far, but my last phone got bricked because I know nothing about recovery. I am searching for a tutorial on the bare basics of reading, recovery, roms, and kernels. Basically a tutorial explaining what they are and how / why to do them. I have searched this forum but could not find what I'm looking for I apologize if it is already in here and I apologize if this is posted in the wrong spot please move this so. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am also searching for the best setup for my new phone and LG G Stylo by metro (LGMS631). something that will give me the most speed and usable storage space. thank you again, Nikkon
Hi,
As far as info and asking questions about your device, here's the place for that,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g-stylo
The best way to learn about the basics is searching on specific topics and read, read and read some more. Here's one good source of info to get you started, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-understanding-basics-rooting-s3-gt-t2362743
That is for a Samsung device, so not all info will apply to your device. But reading through some threads in the first link I gave you should help enlighten you. :good:
Good luck!

I really don't have time to sit here and search through all the posts (yes I used the search function for the forums and it didn't help me at all , maybe I searched wrong) to figure out how to change the rom on my phone... I have downloaded one to my computer, but now I am stuck and don't know what to do...
If you are going to be ignorant, don't bother posting. I'm looking for someone helpful. Thank you.
It would be very helpful to know what device you have in order to help you
But as you don´t have time, have a look in the Wiki, locate your device and enter to proper section where you´ll find all you need for flashing:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Good luck,
htc pure...
last time I looked in the wiki it didn't really seem all that helpful I'm a complete noob to this and so far have gotten no answers... just "go look and read" replies... how is that supposed to be helpful for someone who is completely new and makes it very obvious that they are completely new??? /endrant... GRRRR!!!
Wiki is updated ever day and it has a complete guide to help noobs to flash
but now that you had time to let us know what device you have we can help you better than just saying: Search
There you go:

I've tried rooting my phone through numerous tutorials and articles and have had absolutely no luck in successfully rooting my phone. I'm a novice at best but I have been very diligent about the whole process and again, no luck... Is there a rooting process that actually still works???
Hi,
Here is a tutorial on rooting your device. Read it carefully, especially the first couple posts. Any questions about this, please ask in the thread.

Hey all,
I've never rooted/rom'd an android phone before. I own an LG G3 D855. I've read through the forums and found a spreadsheet to help me root my phone. I'm unclear (for a better choice of words, completely lost) on what to do step by step in order to install a different rom on my phone and IF I don't like it, can I go back to my stock rom?
Sorry again if wrong forum, complete newbie here.
Hi,

Hi,
first post on this forum -> hope this is the right section, sorry if it isn't.
So I'm here because I have a problem regarding the building process of AOSP for the sony XA2
I'm following those steps : developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/build-aosp-nougat-8-1-oreo-4-4
(adding https for opening)
The problem appears on step 4, part 4 : I do not have the repo_update.sh
So first question very simple, does anyone has it ? what am I missing.
Although I'm not especially new to development, I found it on the repo (don't know why it does not come still -> I suppose it's not in the manifest, yet why is it suppose to be in the tutorial ?)
The next question are regarding my newbie state in android development / flashing / OS
Cause next I would need to flash the boot.img vendor etc . . . I did not find nowhere the explanation of where to find those and I'm kind of frustrated of finding absolutely nothing EXPLICIT on the matter.
So could someone point me to a newbie tutorial / explanation please ? or directly explain it to me if it's not too long.
For the record, I understood what those images are, I just don't know where to find them.
ok It's more a general confusion due to the fact that I'm new to Android than anything else still, I need answers
Thank you for your responses in advance.

I don't have this device and I've never personally built a ROM before but, you should be able to obtain some member guidance within one of the following threads.

Ok truth is, I think something is wrong with my system, I have a linux 17 maybe it's not the right one to do this, I tried with a 'normal' 16.04, I went further, have other problems, but I'm finding solutions on the forums.
Precisely in the links you gave me so thanks for answering the questions that I did not have time to ask ^^
Thank you for your help, have a nice day.
