HOX+ is my first android phone after few iOS devices and im kinda lost in all these instructions which should be done before actual flash. Dunno how to unlock device, make custom recovery nor flash boot.img. Im looking for some basic guide with simple instructions do this do that. Think im not only one here in this situation, so please if there is someone willing to help, could you make some basic guide...
there's a thread which uses an app (ALL in ONE app)
that teaches you how to
unlock the bootloader
installer recovery
give your phone root
for the actual rom, go to the ROM's thread for specific instructions.

Hi all,
I'm a really noobie on android customization and I was looking for the RESURRECTİON REMİX İCS ROM v9.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854&highlight=tutorial) and I read and searched over the dev thread and I saw the sequence and what I need to install, but the problem is: how to install those stuff? If anyone could help me on that I would appreciate that.
Thank you so much.
If you need to ask, you shouldn't for a moment consider trying. Wait for ICS to be officially released by Samsung for your device or do some reading yourself. Being a noob is a choice you make, not something you're born with.

Well, those files are needed to be added into your phone and then installed through CWM (Clockworkmod Recovery)
You'll want first root the phone with a kernel that has CWM as well. CF-Root would be the best one for beginners, you can find it on the Original Development thread and follow the steps there to root your device.
Afterwards, you'll want to reboot your device to CWM (Vol Up + Home + Power button when device is off) and install all the necessary files in sequence (using install zip from sdcard). First, make sure you do a nandroid backup incase you wanna go back to your old firmware if you regret it.
I'm pretty sure if you research more throughout the forums, you'll find out what you need to do (hell, it did for me, so it should for you as well)
Good luck!!
Read the sub forum stickys there's guides to rooting flashing etc.
XDA is a development site and a little leg work is needed.

Ok. Thank you both. I'll follow what you said and do a deeper research and reading. Thank you so much, sorry bothering.
Hi everyone, I'm one of the noobs that just started and are trying to flash new roms to our phones and all this cool stuff.
I've been reading the awesome guides from this forum but I think some may be a bit outdated and right now I find myself reading this', where the OP recomends using FlashTool v0.5.3 but as I can see the latest one is v0.9.5.0. Now, I just want to make sure if I should use the latest one or the one in the guide for greatest effectiveness. So, I basically need someone to tell me if I should go with the old one or if someone could make a miniguide or find me one for the newest one.
Thank you! Hopefully some day I can contribute to this forum somehow too

Newer is better, because bugs will be fixed, just go with the latest... The Interface and features listed in the guide will still be applicable, so you can just follow those instructions.
Guys , i flashd the recovery wich was posted in the thread,
but it does not work for me
m not able to boot into recovery w/o using any tool,
so if i am getting bootloop i hav to reflash the firmware..
plz help with some solution..
Ok, and now we should get our crystal ball and look on what thread and on what tool you think, right?
Good that you also posted in that thread, so it's easy to find it.
Always ask in original thread (if possible), and if you still need to create new thread, make sure to say what you used and from where.
Moved thread. Questions belong in the Q&A thread.
OP, You will always get quicker and better help if you:
1) Post in the correct section.
2) Give as many details as you can. What thread were you using? What tools? What firmware is your phone? Details like these can help people assist you more accurately.
Thanks.
hello.i have a Sprint htc evo 3d,android version 4.0.3.software version.2.95.651.6710rd.I would like to know whats the best and easiest way to root the evo3d and what is a good rom to run that is very stable and wifi and everything works..and a good kernel to run with it..i have rooted tablets and other phones before,but evo looks a lil complicated..sorry if posted in wrong section,and thank you again for your help..( i tried following these steps..-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193) watching the video and going step by step..doing full root part..when i go and open revolutionary.and run it.gives me..(your device.shooter with hboot 1.58.0000 is not supported at this time..can someone please help me..
You can't find the relevant thread and follow directions? I'll even help you out, you'll need a 32bit unix/linux. Ubuntu has a nice bootable you can burn and use. Then you use the jpuntubear executable downloaded from their website within that. Granted the one provided by the relevant thread might work on a 32bit OS but I can verify that it didn't work on Win7 64bit. Oh and you will have to hotwire your phone, literally short circuit your phone to get s-off so you can put a working ROM on. If you just want root and ok with stock OS, then you don't have to short your phone.
Also, if you can't find relevant thread and follow directions how do you expect to survive in the world of custom ROM's?

I have Windows 7 32 bit..
I also have the same issue. A couple of months ago I tried to get s-off and it failed with the same message. After not finding any relevant information I gave up and just rooted my phone with the stock rom. I have had several android phones (Epic, galaxy SII, Evo 4G, lg Optimus V) and never had any problems. Make sure to reply with an answer rather than bashing the person asking the question.
At the moment I just want to root it..and methods that I have been following don't work..

It's close to the top of this forum. Read through the thread titles. You'll find all of your questions answered if you bother to look for them.

Nevertheless, belongs in Q&A. Mods please move.

Additionally, if you have issues with the "wire trick" to get S-OFF you can always just do the HTC unlock. You won't be able to flash HBoots but you can flash ROMs and Kernels (use fastboot to boot into recovery from PC).
I, for one, can state that I've done the JopunutBear "wire trick" successfully twice on a Windows 8, 64-bit OS. However, if you choose to try to do this know that you will be entirely on your own as they no longer support anything other than Linux.
Hi there,
as I'm totally noob on Samsung and I don't know really nothing about their devices - my brother in law gave me his business S3 (GT-I9300) for his vacation with the order to get him the current rom flashed.
Now, as I'm a HTC fanboy this is really pain as I'm currently trying to figure out what is needed to flash a custom rom.
I know an HTC needs to be unlocked/ s-offed/ rooted - but what about a Samsung?
Heard somewhen some words like Kies and Odin and am trying now a noob proof tool named SkipSoft Toolkit
I really lost overview here because all specific Samsung relevant words and explanations are like Alien language to me....
If someone could just point me to the steps I'd follow like
1. Unlock with ____link____
2. Root with
3. Recovery
4. other steps
I'd really appreciate your help!!
