Did you try looking in the all things root sticky? And talking to you like I do my first grader wouldn't do you much good, she already knows how to root and rom an Optimus V.
How did that help? Really. What the poster was humbly asking for was an explanation they could understand. I'm an educated person and after reading the entire sticky and then some, I still have questions.
Like myself, a lot of people do in fact read the stickies before asking questions.
And I doubt seriously that is is the norm for first graders to be able to follow the technicalities of rooting a phone. A few, maybe, the norm...uh...no.
If it was that easy, I guess there wouldn't be the volumes upon volumes of questions from those over 6 or 7 years old all over this forum and across the Internet. And we wouldn't need so many different threads on how to root.
I do believe a normal 6 or 7 year old child has better things to do than root mobile phones. Like learn to play well with others? That's my opinion.
Does anyone really think people would rather get condescending replies if they were able to avoid it by reading?
I do believe the good folks who run this forum have made it clear that helping people is the goal. Can we just please give people the benefit of the doubt that maybe, just maybe they HAVE read the stickies and come here asking questions because they still need a little extra help? Is that really so bad? If questions are intolerable, then maybe the forums should just be closed and the stickies made available for reading only?
Geez..I sure hope when I finally master this rooting thing that I understand that those new to it are where I once was and can lend a helpful hand rather than shove at them a reminder of their "lacking". If all I can do is provide a link back to the stickies in reponse to their questions maybe I'd be best to not reply? Maybe?
