The information on The guides i create do not belong to me, if any of it requires Correcting, let me know!
very nice job bro...well done only suggestions is maybe add lootas video on cwm..but still good work...STICKY THREAD mods
NGD1's already been in touch with staff... we're going to link this in the current All Things Root sticky
This was very well written! A Perfect how to & where can I find it Guide! I luv it! Maybe the other threads won't get so cluttered up with repeated questions anymore! The answers are all Here on Your Ultra-Pedia Guide! Lol Great Job Bro!!
like mentioned before all input is welcome, this guide will be formatted to work on XDA and a few others soon and i will be using its base to create a few more ALL-IN-Ones over the next few weeks!
For now due to there being several guides mucking up the sticky area, its being featured WITHIN apparently two larger guides now which is fine, im not looking to be famous, just wanting to help =]
Nice work, NGD1. Just a few quick helpful hints: 1. At the beginning of the guide, installing the latest drivers should probably be first, since the computer will refuse to recognize the phone without the proper drivers (or at least I've found that to be the case on Windows XP computers). 2. At the end of the guide where you mention un-root, you say to follow steps 16-19, but 16 is the last step 3. I know others have asked Bloodawn (CTMod's creator) if they could mirror his ROM or link to it, and he has asked that they link to the thread instead, because he keeps track of the number of times it's downloaded. 4. Spelling, grammar, blah blah blah.... Just a personal pet-peeve of mine, not really an important point. But again, good job
if you look in the Rooting and Recovery Section The Drivers is the 2nd / 1st actual step. 16 / 19 has been corrected to 12-16 all the rom links Are linked to the threads, the only direct downloads are in the tool section (not roms) thank you =]
Optimus one and its annoying cuz theres over 50 good roms for it and like 200 different stock roms XD for almost every region lol
I havent tried this yet but wanted to say thanks for the info and tons of help. There are a few links you have posted that goe's to minus, they arent available anymore like: tu.root.zip and rom for boost. Are those important or can I do without? I will post on my experience after trying this for the first time ever. I want to get into the tech criteria, I'm planning to get into a school for pc programing and down the road app developer. So I have to say all of you guys inspire me to do so with such knowledge and determination is put in to create such apps!
