Now my Nooob question how to I do this? I have searched and searched with various ways to do this such as Chevron7 Windows Deployment Tool, does this still work? I don't fancy thou paying (not into werz either) I found windowbreak easy but not for my phone grr! so I need a noobs guide on how to do this.

ive got a unlocked streak running 2.2 not rooted. i was wondering what would be the best rom to install after root? is it worth rooting? can some one please help me with all this? i know this seems like a stupid question but know 1 knew anything at one point haha thanks guy please help me solve this problem of mine x
go to streakdroid.com and look at their guides and faq section..
good place to start... You have about 20 hours of sifting through threads here before you can fully grasp the streak platform from a rom perspective...
which includes
-roms
-basebands
-framework-res.apk
-services.odex
-build.prop
-streakmodrecovery/clockwork recovery
first learn how to fix it before you break it.
nice 1 matey, i did root my streak but then the screen broke so dell sent me a new one and i really dont know wether to root it or not?
rooting is like removing the govenor on a car engine... You bought the puppy why not unleash the fury!
Hello!
I have recently bought HTC Desire HD, branded with T-Mobile logo on startup and bloatware, but otherwise unlocked (no sim-lock, no network lock), and I did a terrible mistake and updated it from 2.1 I think, to 2.2 and then to 2.3, software number 2.37. Now I want to root it and install custom rom and I realize that it will be much more complicated since I now need to create a goldcard and then downgrade. I read all the threads about downgrading and temp-root and goldcards and I'm asking, if anyone can help me out here by just being online on Skype when I'm doing this, because there will be questions and something can always go wrong and I don't want to wait hours or days for somebody to just tell me "your question has already been answered, use the search option". So if anyone who has already rooted a phone, preferably several times, preferably a branded phone and with 2.37 software, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a newbie in computers, also used to work on web design and I'm currently a photographer residing in Tallinn, Estonia, so nice to meet you fellow XDA member who is willing to help me out. I can donate some money, if everything goes well, that is not a problem at all.
rooted and flashed CM7 nightly, thanks to HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 and fellow friends here on XDA!
Hi all, I wanted to root my Samsung galaxy s2 (locked to the Vodafone Network Australia) and due to my crap searching skills could not find a sticky which showed a detailed step by step process.
I have absolutely no clue on how to start (although I have done similar "roots' to my Nokia N73 and Iphone 2) I would like to the old firmware available encase something goes wrong but don't know all those DKU thing and which one will work for my phone.
If someone could help me out or link me to a way of rooting and finding all the required information for my phone it would be fantastic.

hello everybody i have a question about downgrading my HTC Legend from 2.2 to 2.1
from this forum google, and i have no idea, the point is a lot of guide thats i've been search
is that really need to install a SDK installer, i got one from bundle, and i put that to D DRIVE, the point is can i still do things to downgrade my Legend, or something else, in fact i got the installer, but i'm not using it,
thnx
Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
