there arent multiple ways of doing it, this is how you do it, tis is how everyone does it. you have to be patient and willing to follow instructions carefully or you will mess it up.

after you install SDK drivers and adb, or you think you have, plug your phone into your computer's USB. do not turn on the USB drive on your phone, just plug it in and put it down. open the command prompt on your computer and type in the following commands:

cd\ [press enter]
cd AndroidSDK\tools\ [press enter]
adb devices [press enter]

wait a few seconds and your phone's serial number should appear, which signifies that ADB is successfuly picking up your phone. if it does not appear then something did not go right in installation and setup. just follow the instructions. if you are having trouble with the driver instructions on this guide then you can try this tutuorial:

Hey guys. I was following the tutorial and I reached up to the point where I pull the battery and then reinsert it and go into your new custom recovery...but when I do that by pressing Power + Camera, I release the camera, press the Volume Down button, it cuts off and the phone reboots...

PLEASE HELP ME...ALL IT DOES NOW IS BOOT AND REBOOT OVER AND OVER...
