Is their a section in this forum that is for beginners? When I say beginners I mean we know the basics about computers and what not, but when it comes to changing registry and tweaking up our HTC phone.
Like a guide on "how-to's" on everything and anything we probably would want to do or just the major stuff. That would be great because searching through the forum for other questions that were solved is a hassle. Sometimes I can't find anything then you would have to post it and members would come back to flame you because you didn't search when you actually did.
If their is a section could someone please post the link.
Thanks!
on the top of each section there is a great guide
Also read the Wiki
Good luck,
Didn't know about the Wiki thanks!
No prob mate
Over there you´ll find all that you need as a beginner
Enjoy!

Hello everybody !
I have an HTC Desire S, and I made the bigest mistake to upgrade to 4.0.4 via RUU.
I just want to downgrade to 2.3.5 with htc sense 3.0 withouth losing my warranty if that is possible !
Please tell me how I can do this and please behave this topic as a beginner person with no knowledge in this kind of operations !
I thank you in advance and hope to receive as many as possible answers that could help me to solve this problem.
P.S. I am from Romania. If someone around here knows the language, we can also speak in private.
Thanks !

Why can people not READ!!!!! This is a QUESTION - don't post it in the DEVELOPMENT forums That's why we have a Q&A forum.
Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search. The question you have asked has been answered too many times to count - so please, go and read the stickies, use the search function and then you will, hopefully, understand what you need to do without us having to repeat what has been said many, many times before.
This is the kind of response that I did not expected to receive. If u know the basics, and if u are very good at this, help others too do not try to give them ethics lessons.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.
I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.
There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.
Actually, simonTS is right.
Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.
This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.
Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Just repect forum rules, post your questions in Q&A and you'll have expecting answers.
Try search by yourself, you probably find what you need :silly:
Just too slow !
Ok. Thanks. I have posted to the Q&A forum. Please delete this one.
So even after being scolded for not being bothered to search & find the solution yourself you still just post the question & expect others to get you out of the hole you yourself got you into! Man up, learn to read & fix it yourself!

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35418324
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.

Ok, maybe I've posted on the wrong section, but regarding the device, there isn't a Pocket 2 forum section here, so I posted on the most similar I've found. Is that really a good reason to make a report?
I read the rules once, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember where it says "report a user when he posts a thread of the device X on device Y section if the device X section doesn't exist".
Anyway, thanks for reporting me and I still need help and about this thread, I will wait the moderators tell me if I am wrong or not.
If I am wrong, I hope they point me where to post the thread (or move this one).

I don't want to be mean but posting a question on the development selection is not allowed.
Anyway, I make a research and there is no way to root your device (yet!!!).
You can try Kingo root

I've tried that already.
Like I said, I guess I've made a mistake by creating on this section, but I think I can't delete a thread (can I?).
About "a way to root", I don't know any yet, but I'm hoping there is, that's why I've created a thread (after a lot of searching).
First of all, thanks for moving the thread.
I still need help. Does anyone knows a way to root this device?
Is there a list of all the Custom ROM indicated if they are based AOSP, CyangogenMod or other?
I have seen on some thread something but had the document in Google Drive blocked. Can you to help me? Thanks

Yes sure! But a few years ago an XDA user created a table with a full list of Custom ROMs with its characteristics ..
I was wondering if there was such a thingu pdated so you can see all existing ROM. The idea was to understand and see what are the ROM based on AOSP and which on the other for any devices.
As a senior member on xda, you should know how to use the search tools by now, or at least know an appropriate area to ask for help in.
XDA Assist is here to help new members find their way around, it's not a search tool for senior members. Nor is it a support desk.
