Hey all...I'm VERY new to all of this rooting stuff...still reading about it and I can't seem to wrap my head around it....Not sure if I'd be crossing a line by asking this, but here it goes....are there people on here that would actually root a phone for someone if they (ie..me) are to stupid to do so?
Of course there would be compensation involved.
Thanks for any info!!!
If you are new to the point that you are not comfortable following the steps needed to root your phone then I would say that you should not be worrying about rooting your phone at this point.
Why do I say this? It is because you will want to flash a myriad of Roms after your phone is rooted, which I guarantee will cause issues that you will not be able to figure out on your own.
You also need to ask yourself what it is that you hope to gain from rooting your phone. The stock Thunderbolt has bloat no doubt, but it is generally compatible with apps and is about to receive the Gingerbread OTA (non-root users theorize) fairly soon.
What do you want that can only be accomplished by rooting your phone at this point? If you cannot answer that question, then I hope you will take my advice and do some reading on this site, and one or two other sites, until you are ready to root your phone without paying someone to do it for you.
One other thing. Please do not create posts asking about the proverbial 'Best Rom'. There is no such thing.
Just my .02 cents!
I appreciate the info....Thanks!!!

You're very welcome. I hope that I did not scare you off of rooting, but it is something that should not be done without some careful thought before hand.
For $100 I'll root your phone.

I've rooted several devices for friends that have no intention of using clockworkmod. They simply want the advantages of root and to run a new ROM like CM7. I'd be happy to do it for money, and I don't think the end user of a rooted devices needs to know jack about it rooting it to enjoy the benefits. In short, I'm happy to root a device for someone as long as I know they aren't going to get in there and brick the thing somehow and come to me to fix it like it's my problem. Most people are decent enough to do that.
if you look online(or in your local yellow pages), you can find shops locally that will fix, root, etc your cell phone.
just here in San Diego there's about a dozen places that offer these services.
although i will tell you... the first time you figure out you have a problem with your carb and it's bad enough that you can't drive your car... then a "friend" tells you, just bring the carb over here & we'll fix it for you... then you're just standing there looking at the carb and thinking "uhhh..."
now that's rooting a phone x 10 difficultly.
I'll do it for free, teach you how i did it, and give you the basic knowledge of how not to brick. Where are you located?

I didn't have anybody to guide me when i first started and i know how frustrating it can be. And you never know, he may be the next great developer with the right start. I have been the "tech support" for my entire family who I converted to android. It would be nice to teach someone who will want to learn as opposed to my family who just says here you do it...
And you are right on the money when you say ppl who use Th3orys roms are nice and helpful. I have learned a great deal from that community.
I am not a dev, just someone who knows how to implement the awesome features created by the community here at XDA.

I know we are going off topic but I feel the same way. If people did not get smart with other users and just be helpful people would have a great time learning.

Dang if I was near my laptop which my dad has webx on I would do it for you. I have rooted a bunch of phones for friends and family and I find it especially fun teaching them what root, roms, etc. can help them achieve. Today I rooted my friends sensation so he would have the sensation xe (beats audio) options and speed. If you feel that your stock phone seems slow rooting, overclocking and debloating or changing the ROM can definitely help you!

I would do it for 30 and make sure your phone gets back to you with lots of extra programs you will need. Plus 5 bucks shipping back.

hi guys ive been on xda for a little while now and ive learned alot. i think ive upgraded from a noob somewhat. what i want though is to be a developer not just use u guys work. so in saying that if there is any developer out there that would point me to a source where i can fully understand what make the things you guys develop tick. like learning the parts, files, what does what etc i think u get the point. i wanna get to the point where i can develope great apps, ROMs, disect code all that great stuff. ive tried to add to the cause by buying you guys apps on the market now i want to contribute in a bigger way. just so u know i work full time have a wife a 2yo and a 6 week old baby. i used xda premium. feel free to pm me. thanks in advance for your help.

Please, never post like this again if you're going to stay a part of this forum. The phone isn't even officially released, that's the price you pay for getting it two days early. The devs we will have didn't have their hands on the phone, let alone a system dump, so how the hell do you expect them to have something already? And no matter how much you think it does, your self entitled complaining really doesn't help development, rather, it slows it down. Devs don't like having to deal with people like you that are all about "gimme gimme gimme" with no help for them in return. Patience is a virtue, I suggest you find some.

Anyway check the board it's already been rooted.

I do find the stock rom to be surprisingly buggy, but it seems pretty fast already. More bloat than I've ever seen...

I'm finding a lot of talk about disH 2 and disH 3 but I don't know anything about it. Can someone explain what it is and what it does or maybe create a thread breaking it down? there is a lot of people that doesn't know what it is, including myself. Thank you in advance.

For the most part people are fairly nice on here. The ones with the sticks up there a** need to get outside once in a while or release one if you don't have a girl, just you're computer. Really if someone is doing, saying, posting in the wrong area just let them know in a professional manner. Some of these people might be the ones who are more willing to give you $ for you're time. But if you insist on being the stick ( up you're a**) police it will get you no where in life.
Have a great day!

I think the belongs in General since there doesn't seem to be a question...or maybe you are asking if one of us could help you to remove your stick, and if that is the case, then yes, I'm sure any number of people would help you with that.
Doesnt this belong in the No One Cares forum?
Sweet, that would be great! Please use you're mouth to take it out.
Thanks you're the best!
