Also what is the advatage of rooting my device... i'm kinda curious? I love to use all the potential of device. Is this the same?
Why would you want to root your device if you don't even know what the benefits or drawbacks of rooting it are?!? Are you so desperate for root that you are ready to void your warranty or install a possible trojan?? I suggest you get familiar with the capabilities of your device before trying to "mod" it in any way. Maybe it will suffice for you without the need to root. If not, you should read all you can on the subject before asking for help, there's a lot of information on the subject already. Someone who needs their hand held shouldn't be attempting to root the Archos.

Do we have freedom of choice here...? The reason why I want to root my device, I already read "some" of the benifits... The only thing I need is to make it faster or some sort... Some can run 1200mhz, or 1280mhz. Mine is only running 800-1000mhz. Some has custom desktop... mine is only plain stock, some can install a lot Apps by increasing ROM. Do you understand what I'm trying to express... I'm just asking for help... I'll be not blaming you and other pips... I only need is guidance and just simple tweaks.... Thats all... Please help are In need... Warranty? I thought you can bring it back to the original? and it will not brick, right? So please XDAdevelopers pimp my Archos....!

I have confirm the above thread is very easy to temporary root or permanent root (without CPU speed up). I have recommend you to read this thread first.

This thread look like difficult for new user and must have some knowledge about linux command.

This thread very easy to temporary root and you can use SETCPU to speed up CPU. I love this thread but it not ability to permanent root.
Note: I had decided to root my device by myself and I don't mind about warranty

Ok guys so ive just bought a uk orange branded hero, and i dont have a clue about android or linux for that matter, so i hope you guys could answer a few questions for me, ive looked at the stickys in the android development section, and now im more confused than before lol
1) What is rooting? and what is the process ment to achieve?
2) like i said i have a uk orange branded hero, now what is the process i need to do before i can start flashing roms? it seems a little more complicated that just flashing hspl like am used to lol
root is the system administrator of a unix system. you might wanna google that if you don't know what it is.
depending on your fastboot version you need to flash the custom recovery image, from there on it is a piece of cake. if you don't need to downgrade your system then flashing the custom recovery is also a piece of cake.

My intention is to give balanced advice to all those who intend to modify their new Android.
Ask yourselves, what do you intend to do with root access, if you want your phone to do all simple tasks, no need to root. I would say get familiar with new OS before deciding "Root Way."

Rooting is the process of gaining full system access to your device. This has pros and cons (you can modify anything and really tweak the guts of your system...but you can also truely fubar the whole thing a lot easier too). If you don't have a need to root, I generally advise against it.
Flashing custom ROMs are an unsupported method of customization...but it, like rooting, has some potential gains. Some ROMS give more speed, some ROMs include more features that you may or may not want. Flashing ROMs are the reasons most people root (as to flash the ROM, you need root access)
Thanx for all your help guys, i read all that info and spent the last 2 days learning lol 2day i sucsessfully downgraded my rom, routed and flashed modaco 2.9
Goodlad!
Excellent. Now please tell our forum members which road you drove to get to root, so that someone with same enthusiam can also do same. You dont have to write whole page, just majot points and references or links.
Thanks.
Heloo..Everyone!
been reading some of the threads on how to root, install ROM and backed-up this phone...
but can anybody please provide direct walkthroughs for this specific version and model...
It's a bit complex for so many noobs out there...
Having a hard time to go through the steps...I'm confused if:
1) I'd go for back-up first before I downgrade my FW to V10b (which is the next best FW available for downgrade)
2)I'd need to downgrade first then the rest....
3) I'd need to ROOT first before anything else...
Please help!..I really need some step-by-step walkthrough guide for this...
I'm kindda scared bricking this BABY!
Mga pinoys dyan...baka may makaktulong?! salamat! (Thank you!)
If you ask me, I'd go with the root first part. I'm not sure if there's a one click rooting method for 2.2.1.
I wouldn' really recommend downgrading since I've been reading stuff about P500s getting bricked by KDZ (but im not saying its not reliable) or even LG's own tools. But yes, those tools DO work.
So the summary of this post is to root from 2.2.1, get the custom recovery, then install your favorite rom
EDIT: Do a nandroid backup as soon as you get the custom recovery.
Sorry if I'm double posting, but I have to stress this out.
You have to downgrade to 2.2 Then root
Wow, this is really getting complicated...
I'm really sorry...but does NANDROID differs from custom recovery? I mean are they different programs with different task?...
My head hurts...too many info... (LOL )
but seriously....please enlighten me
It's not really complicated. It's just that I have this fear of using KDZ Updater. I have never tried it, and never will xD But I think in this case, I think you might need to.

The custom recovery is where you:
- make nandroid backups
- wipe stuff
- flash stuff (to install roms, kernels, stuff)
- do bunch of other stuff

Can you read and search please. Please do not posts non related dev threads in this forum
On that note thread closed
tried to root and flash rom on vibrant but i am now completely lost ! can someone help me restoring it back ?
im currently on voodoo lagfix not really familiar with this, i own a mytouch 4g and rootong it was way easier
Vibrant is probably one of the easiest Android devices to root and develop. You've seen nothing yet
Anyway, use this to root and go back to stock. Doesn't get any simpler really.
EDIT: More about rooting and developing here. Step by step guide.
why did u open another thread? u could of had ur question answered in ur original im in trouble thread....
hello guys i just got another galaxy note and i want to root it and put a custom rom on it and over clock it. the questions are what is the smoothest running rom that really unlocks what you can do with the phone and lets you customize it the most but yet still makes it faster and less laggy. and the second question is. is there anyone here that could help me by doing a screen share and do the rooting and install the rom for me cuz im really no good with this stuff as i soft bricked my last phone trying to do this and i really dont wanna do it again but would like to root my phone could someone please help me thanks
If you can't root and you can't install a ROM then I suggest you stay stock. Rooting will only allow you to do things that you can't and are afraid to do anyways.
As far as ROM preference that is up to you. Read the forum and decide for yourself.
Easiest way to root is here:
