Please use the Q&A section for this, also, if you use the search option in xda I'm pretty sure that you will have all the answers to your questions.

Here's a good explanation of root:

With that said, please post questions in the appropriate forum here on the site.

I don't believe you scoured hard enough then sir. Please see attached link, its someways down but its in there. PLEASE, search because honestly this link is posted directly on the first page under mods for 6.1.x. Also, the Q&A's for specific ROMS aren't for show, it would be better if you posted questions that pertain to specific roms in their respective Q&A thread so we can avoid clutter in the Q&A section.

First of all thank you!!!!!!!!! Rest assured that i scoured immensely. I even have the link to the Rom in my favorites so that i can get to it in no time. The reason I could not find it was because it was in the Desire HD forum and I was looking in the Inspire forum. And I would have never had noticed that I posted in general Q&A unless you called me out on it. I had every intention of posting it in the Rom section, but I had som many tabs open that i guess i posted in the wrong one. I am usually not one to just post some crap question. I have had Android since the good old G1 and have been getting all of my info from xda and cyanogenmod for some time. This is the first post that i have made and i have used xda to root, radio, ect for 5 phones. Sorry to ramble. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!

How would I root my Inspire on a mac?

I tried searching but couldn't find a for sure answer. So how would I go about doing this? Thanks and have a great day.

The best way to root is to use the hack kit because its flawless in execution. And all other methods have a higher chance of failing. So use the ace hack kit and use VM or boot camp to load windows and do it from there. Other wise go to a school or other windows computer and execute.
And please remember to post in the right section from now on. Otherwise it'll be an all out attack.
Just pack up the phone, send it back, and get an iPhone. Or you could start to follow the rules of xda.
I got your 10 char right here

Thanks and sorry for the rules. I thought this was correct but I didn't know there was a Q and A.

Use the search button.
Please close this. There is no room for miscategorization here at XDA forums.
you mean to say that you searched yet you posted in the wrong thread, not to mention the method is the first thing on the first page

Grumpy? no we aren't grumpy, it gets annoying when people either
A. Don't look or search before posting
B. Create a thread in the wrong section (ESPECIALLY the dev section)
This guy did both so hes gonna obviously get flamed by people who get angry about it. Guess you don't know the rules of the forum at all.
OK guys mistakes happen. But OP please search and open threads in the proper place

If you have read around the subject and used the search and still are not sure about something then its completely fine to ask a question.
BUT if a quick search finds the answer on the forum you will be flamed so make sure to read read and read some more.
But we are here to help if you really can't find the answers needed

[Q] about to root for the first time...

hey all, just joined the forum, been lurking for a while, trying to learn about the whole rooting process. i am still not 100% confident on the whole thing, but i am thinking about giving it a shot.
have had a few smart phones, all from t-mobile except for this last one, which is a samsung galaxy s3 from verizon, running android 4.1.2. i have watched a bunch of videos, and read a bunch of threads, but want to make sure i don't turn my phone into a brick by doing this, so i am asking here now.
if i follow the instructions in the video by officialphonerebel for the SCH-I535 will that give me root access? i tried to post a link to the video but since i am a new member the site won't allow me to do that. what else do i need to do in order to delete all the bloatware that comes pre-installed? do i need to unlock the bootloader? or will the process described in the video do that already?
thanks in advance from a dumb union plumber and pipe welder...

1.Does the video show you how to root from 4.1.2 jelly bean?
2. Yes you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash anything.
3. Most custom ROMs have bloatware removed.
4. The only way to brick your phone is by flashing something meant for another device.
5. Kenny is a moderator so he doesn't really have to help you just moderate the forums which he did.

Kenny moves threads once they are reported so don't go subtly suggesting anything.

Thank you for the info. The video I watched said 4.1.2/4.1.1., so I am not sure if they require the same procedure or not.
So after I root the phone, I need to flash a custom ROM? I can't just run an unlocked stock version of 4.1.2?
Understood about the bricking, I will pay attention and read what I am flashing first to make sure it is for my device
This forum must run differently than other forums. I am a supermod over on a motorcycle racing website, and we need to be knowledgable about what we are moderating, and give advice and help the members, not just moderate.

I wasn't subtly suggesting anything. I think I was pretty straightfoward saying that in addition to moving my thread he could have helped me answer my questions.
Follow the instructions in below post

This will give you rooted stock rom.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

follow the directions in this thread >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and you will be rooted with an unlocked botloader and ready to flash.
from there you you can stay stock rooted and remove apps yourself. alot of people like titanium back up for that. or you can flash a touchwiz/samsung based ROM that has most if not all of the bloatware removed and allows to add what you want thru the installer at setup. you can find these ROMs in android development. or you can flash an AOSP (android open source project) ROM that is based off "pure google" with developer mods and preferences included. you can find these ROMs in original android development.
backup your phone. i use nandroid and nandroid manager but there are others that may work better for you. only flash stuff for vzw. have fun.

Be careful! Moderators do not have knowledge of every device. We are here to moderate based on forum rules. Learn to read the rules and how to search. Moderators are volunteers responsible for over 35 device forums and are not here to do the searching for you.
Your attitude will get you less and less people wanting to help you. XDA is NOT a support site. It is a Development site.

be careful of what?
and now i understand that this forum is different than the others i frequent. like i said, i am a supermod (voluntarily as well) on another site, and on that site, all of our mods, supermods, and admins need to be familiar with all aspects of what they are moderating, so i assumed (incorrectly apparently) that this site was run the same. my apologies for that.
my attitude? i thought it was rude of you to just moderate the thread, and not even let me know whether or not you could help or not. it was fine to tell me you moved the thread, and it was my fault for posting it in the wrong section, but all you had to say was "hey listen, i don't know much about your device, but you posted it in the wrong section, so i moved it for you." and everything would have been fine.
i read tons of "support" threads on this site, and was not aware that it was for developers only, again, my apologies. can you direct me to a site that is for support please?
for those of you that helped, i thank you.

Thread closed, I will assume you feel it necessary to vent your frustrations, but again, your above post does nothing towards the contribution and/or furthering of development.
One of the main rules of XDA is to read and follow the posting rules prior to posting. Nowhere in these rules is there a requirement for, or of, a moderator to answer your questions just because you asked one. We act on reported posts from users that violate XDA posting rules, and yours did.
If you are a moderator elsewhere, you should be familiar with the codes and standards that it takes to moderate. Firing back and getting the last word in to moderators here is not a classy or nice thing, might be on the site you volunteer on, but not here.
Now, KennyGlass123 may unlock so that you can reply to him. Or, you could have used the PM system to express your dissatisfaction of things. But you did not, hence, me locking this thread.
Have a good weekend.

How about searching instead of opening your 23rd new thread all about very basic questions which you can find the answers for yourself if you bother to search and read a little?

I am sorry for creating so many threads, unfortunately I don't always get time to search for things, when I do I either find what I'm looking for and it's not very helpful at all or I don't find anything, I ask questions on xda because it's more helpful then finding something through search. I have found something's about this question I asked, but there not very helpful and the download links don't work, and also the thread I found had been closed. Helpful tips on posting and obviously phone related are very welcome. Sorry for creating so many threads and I do my best.

U might wanna bookmark certain pages like the Help Thread page #1 - #3 and also our very own, well organized INDEX Thread. These users took the time to furnish those thread to ease searching, best to utilize them so as their effort will not go in vain.
Cheers.
ps: stock rom is v4.0.4 sense 3.6
Thank you comes quite useful, but the one I've found uses a lot of ram still. I will try and keep looking around when I have enough time.
