This thread should get you started
Don't worry, I was in your shoes a week ago. The people on this forum are generally helpful.
Here's a post explaining the quick and easy way once you're rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8729937&postcount=929
I'd recommend either Cognition 2.2 beta 7 or Shep's 10-20-2010 ROM. Either one is fantastic.
Please read the forum for how to flash your phone with Odin or via Rom Manager. Also, since you are new to the forum make sure you use the search function and read about your question before creating a thread. Chances are it has been discussed repeatedly. Welcome.
Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Make sure you have the three button combo before you go crazy... Don't brick your phone

Technically its not an "update", its a leaked rom. There are a few roms that have froyo that are pretty stable. If you want HSPA id go with Shep, if you want stripped down almost vanilla check out the dev cde froyo beta 3 or whatever its called. Good luck. Oh and make sure you have three button combo before you start flashing like crazy. (three button combo means that you can get into download mode or recovery mode with volume buttons held down and then power phone on while still holding volume buttons) read read read
You might want to download quick boot from the market as well. This has been a valuable tool for me.

No sweat. Try searching captivate roms in the search field. You will find pages of different search results. Don't worry, i am somewhat of a level 2 beginner myself. =D
Alright, noob here too, and I've looked high and low, and I cannot for the life of me find out how to flash kernels/roms using Odin. Anyone wanna help out?
I wasn't to use titanium to back up my phone but its saying I need to go to applications and click "unknown sources" but that's not an option in my settings. Please help.

Dont worry. The easiest way is to Root your phone + Download Rom manager from the Market + Install Rom manager as directed + then use Rom Manager itself to install the preferred rom.
Reminder: depending on which Rom you install, there are specific instructions on how to install them as well. READ + READ. Usually if you go to the OP of the acutal Rom you are looking for, it will give you step by step info on which is the best method of installing.
Also, keep in mind that YOU MUST be able to go into 1) recovery 2) download modes with the 3-button key combo as a safety precaution. It is very, very, VERY helpful....unless of course you are familiar with ADB.
Other methods include downloading the ROm + rename to "update.zip" + place in your Internal SD card + boot in recovery + re-install packages.
Odin is for more advanced users as it requires knowledge of different files to attach to Odin WITH, and then installing with Odin (ex: Kernel swapping).
There is also Odin One CLick, however, DO NOT confuse that with the regular ODIN.
Good Luck!
With all due respect to everyone this post belongs in the QA section and not the DEV section.
That would be the first piece of advice is to post in the correct section. Second You can look at the thread for Cognition 2.2 it has a good following and also a good wiki to help you understand things

I wouldn't put much emphasis on it. Disregard and proceed forward with Titanium. I always hit "ok" and went on with removing bloatware and of course....saving (creating Back ups) prior to.

Thanks for the detailed answer, but on the cognition wiki, in one of the steps it simply says to flash to a 2.1 kernel using ODIN, and I have no clue how to do so. I've figured out how to use ROM manager pretty well, as the directions are much simpler (in my opinion). Is it never necessary to use ODIN, and would using it just be for convenience? I'm unsure of what to do when I see "flash to this kernel using ODIN", and would like to know if it's possible to skip ODIN altogether and just use clockwork.

There are multiple articles in the Q&A section, this section, and other sites that tell you how to use Odin. Most of the ROMs that require Odin even say how to use them.
This thread is going to get moved to Q&A and you won't see it again. Best bet is to read the stickies. I'm not trying to be mean to anyone, but posting without looking isn't going to get you any favors (from the mods).

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 that is for the Odin one click when you read flash stock as an instruction.

There are some Roms / Kernels/ Lagfixes that can be installed without Odin. And unless you know your way around Odin, then i would stay away from it. Usually "re-install packages" with recovery mode works for me.
Flashing to 2.1 with Odin means you will more than likely be using Odin One Click....NOT regular Odin. I cannot stress that enough. If you search in XDA for just Odin, you will find the answers you need. Remember, there are 2 different versions of them. One is a simple "one click" tool to go back to stock (for whatever purposes) ....the Other Odin....is used to swap kernels and also install Roms, but not JUST stock roms, other modified Roms as well as Lag fixes and such.
And read and read and read....
I recently got the LG thrill (not my first android device), and this is the first time I have actually attempted to root and stuck with it. I used the super one click and got my phone rooted.
I am now stuck on getting CWM installed. I tried using the one click method but when I attempt to open the file it gives me the message about using another program to open it because it is a rar file.
I installed my drivers, adb, downloaded the recovery img, opened a cmd, typed in what the guide told to and it said adb wasnt a recognized thingy blah blah blah. I have been at this for two days, reading, searching, attempting and so on and so forth.
I wish i could put what i was experiencing into terms yall can understand more but in all honesty i really dont know what im talking about lol..
Any help or guidelines would be greatly appreciated.

I'm just a new member (it's my first post in fact). I would like to ask a question directly to spyrosk (development-related thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737) about the Toolkit developed by him, but as being a new member I'm not permitted to do so. Besides, I'm just an user, I'm not a developer at all, so my question below can seem stupid...
I used his toolkit installing the official ROM ICS 4.0.4 on my LG (using option 6 of the Toolkit). I want to root my phone but I have some doubts when launching its option 3, that are:
1) It says to choose one of the zip files from SU folder. There are three zip files in there. Assuming that my phone is already running ICS 4.0.4, I think that I can choose the SU313-BIN311_4ICS.zip, is that correct?
2) The procedure to put the phone on NVFlash says to press and hold both Vol- and Vol+ while plugging the micro-uSB into the phone. But until when? I mean, is it required to keep pressing both buttons during the hole process? The instructions is not very clear at this point...
3) It also says that the procedure will detect the current partition layout and ask you to choose a compatible recovery image. I don't have any idea what's talking about... What should be my choice?
In time: I used the V30A_00.kdz, obtained from the http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=3 site. The firmware is IMM76L.LG-P990-P99030a.1211302332.
Can anyone help me with these questions?
I am not Spyrosk but i have used this amazing tool...
For the option 3, simple way is to hold the buttons until the computer or your laptop recognizes your mobile.after that you can release it...it is the same for any of the procedures mentioned.
For the partition sizes i think it is in the thread and you can search. ICS requires higher partition.....but I'd you are in the ics by smart flashing or by kdz method, you are in the new boot loader and i don't think you need to change the sizes....but I'd you want the old boot loader....then you need to have the bigger partitions....but search inn the thread
Hope this helps you to start

Hi SREEPRAJAY,
Thanks for your reply. In fact you clarified just one of my three questions above. I´ve read the hole thread but didn´t find the answer for my remaining questions... Could someone else help me with this? I don´t want to try procedures on my phone that I´m not confident to do.
Regards,
for the first question...just flash it.as you have flashed the kdz before and on 4.0.4, you have to just flash it.nothing more is required.
and if you are on 4.0.4, then you dont need to re-create the partitions.if flashed with the kdz method, then you are on the new boot loader. to check that...once you flash the SU file in the AIOT.....just enter the recovery by power+volume down key simultaneously...if you see the pink LG logo, then you are on the new one....if on the white LG logo, then you are on the old boot loader.
let me know if there is anything more

Hi SREEPRAJAY,
Sorry, but the more you try to help and explain to me, the more confused I got. I still have doubts. Sorry for that. Let's try again:
1) It says to choose one of the zip files from SU folder. There are three zip files in there. Assuming that my phone is already running ICS 4.0.4, which file must I choose? Can I choose any one? What's the difference between them?
2) Answered OK. Thanks for that.
3) It also says that the procedure will detect the current partition layout and ask you to choose a compatible recovery image. What will I be supposed to choose? What recovery image is the toolkit referring to?
Sorry again, but, as stated on my first post, I'm just an user (not developer) trying to get full control of my phone, and trying to learn more about all those things...
Tks,

Choose anyone for the first question.you have already mentioned the file name in your first post i think
For the third, i am using the twrp 2.5 which is the most convenient.cwm is used with volume button keys, but twrp is more convenient with touch interface and also customizable with themes.
I am on my mobile and i am unable to look into more details.sorry for that
I hope you can proceed with this.

Hi SREEPRAJAY,
I have good news! I've just done the procedure to root my LG using the option 3's toolkit, and it ran fantastic! :good: But, I have some suggestions to Spyrosk. The toolkit gives you the choice to select one of the three compatible recovery:
1 - ICS-cwm-5.0.2.8e.img
2 - ICS-cwm-6.0.2.5.img
3 - ICS-twrp-2.4.1.0.img
I chose option 1, at random... I mean, I didn't have any idea at all what were the differences between those three options. Wouldn't be nice if Spyrosk give a little bit explanation about what the toolkit is asking us, I mean, giving a minimal explanation about what are cwm and twrp, and its purposes?
By the way, where I can find and learn more the basics of all this stuff, including cwm and twrp? I mean, I installed this with cross fingers and closed eyes, because I dont have any idea of what I had to choose. That's why I chose at random, option 1. Was it a good choice? I mean, what's the difference between cwm 5.0.2.8e and 6.0.2.5?
In time: now I have my phone running ICS 4.0.4 and ROOTED. I verified using the TitaniumBackup that asked for root access, I gave it, and it ran ok. Now I intend to restore some applications that were previously backup. You don't even need to install SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot to do it. This toolkit is really awesome!
Yessss!

So, there is no way to root this device without unlocking it first? I've also read that after you unlock, you loose some apps & obviously OTA updates......4.2.2 is rumored to be out for this device any time now. Is there anyway to preserve those apps, possibly update phone (even manually) or just root without unlocking?

you won't loose any apps if you unlock, you will lose all of your files though... and you can still receive OTAs is you are unlocked, you just need to have the stock rom and a stock recovery...
Success (relatively painless)
I'd like to add my success story as a hopeful note for other noobs who are sweating it.
I'm a complete noob with recovery and rooting. Luckily I had the distinct advantage of skipping the whole bootloader unlocking sequence, thanks to having the Developer Edition whose bootloader comes unlocked. (I wasn't sure if I should use Hasoon2000's T-Mobile kit, since I'm using a T-mo SIM, or if I should use his generic HTC One M7 kit, so I chose the latter and luckily it was a good choice.)
I studied this video tutorial by TheSmokingAndroid, took notes, watched it again, said a little prayer to the green guy in the sky, watched some more tutorials, read some tutorials, read 50 pages of xda forums, panicked, de-panicked, steeled myself, then watched the video again. Then I dove in.
While not every step had the exact results that TheSmokingAndroid depicted in his video (combination of user error by me and the HTC One apparently being somewhat finicky), while not every step was an exact match, a little persistence and staying calm resulted in full root in about 1/2 an hour once I actually got started, and no major calamities.
So thanks TheSmokingAndroid and thanks Hasoon2000!
(If you're a noob, consider making a small donation like I did to keep these guys going.)
Happy rooting.

I receive tons of PMs and can forget who I responded to, since I am on my phone majority of the time. Anyone is allowed to make a video using my toolkit. I just do not permit people to repost my work on another site. All official toolkit threads will be on XDA and all the toolkits will be uploaded to ONLY my Dev-Host account. I do not authorize mirrors of my toolkits (since anyone can just repack it with a virus and blame me for it). However, my apologies if I did not get back to you. I usually wake up with 10 - 15 PMs, plus more throughout the day!

Hi, I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One and flashed the cyanogen rom. However, I want to now go back to the original software that came with my phone, but I did not backup my phone on twrp recovery. I do not care about my user data, I just want to go back to HTC Sense. Could anyone help me go back to the factory default os reset? Also my phone is from T-mobile if that helps.
I'd personally like to know how to pull the stock recovery image from my device for later use, rather than using someone else's. I've already searched but I'm directed to the stock recovery image already posted here. Isn't there a way to make the image flashable rather than pushing it through with ADB?

how can i unlock it? do i need to follow the video and unlock the bootloader? is there anything extra that I need to do?
let me know. thanks
Hi all
I am Completely new at this
I just got an xperia zr as a gift and want to get it rooted
I tried searching the forums but it didn't help
I recently updated my phone via pc companion to 4.4.4
An acquaintance told me that if I use towel root, the phone will root
But that hasn't helped either
I've been searching all day for a solution
I am willing to pay the price to get my phone rooted,get rid of bloatware,move apps to sd
Any help will be highly appreciated
Regards
1. Go to Xperia ZR General forum.
2. Look carefully and see a thread named - "[GUIDE] How to root 10.5.1.A.0.283 [Locked Bootloader]". One of the top threads.
That's it. No search needed, just look. Definitely not "searching all day".

You didn't come across this, right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help/xperia-zr-rootin-problem-t2877961
I went through the thread but am still not able to understand how it works
I downloaded doodlers easy rooting tool kit
I extracted adb files
And then runme_win.bat
The cmd.exe windows days the system can't find path specified
I've just checked the thread (and the actual thread that it points to), and in no place there was any need to run anything named runme_win.bat.
It has been a common saying across XDA-Dev board for a while, and it still stands true:
If you don't understand what you're going to do with the phone - don't do it. Read enough information until you do, and if you still don't - then leave your phone alone. Otherwise chances are you'll end up with a brick and having to pay someone else to get it back to working condition.
That's so true jack but you know Curious mind and all...
Just wanted to get my phone rooted
That's the reason why I mentioned earlier that I might as well pay some one to do it for me rather than trial and error methods
For people like me towel root was the best
But you are 1000s miles away can you suggest if since I've can root it for me
After all we need technical genius like you for your expertise
Any help would be great

Here in XDA, your best bet is yourself. Anyways, rooting 4.4.4 involves FLASHING something, if you are scared of this, just downgrade to 4.4.2 and use towelroot. (Relax, FTF errors are scarce, but you will get covered in warrenty.):good:
Thank you for the reply

It would be appreciated

1. Install flashtool and Z drivers
2. Get a 230 FW and a 283 FW, put those in \flashtool\firmwares\
2B. Only do this if you already on 283 build, flash 230 FW on flashmde, only include KERNEL.
3. Power on. You will notice bugs, ignore them.
4. Use towelroot.
5. Flash 283 FW, again only include KERNEL.
6. Power on, the bugs are now gone.
7. install superSU/superUser and update binaries.
Done and Enjoy. to get more info and (most importantly, RATIONALE), read http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2873841:good:

It is imperative that you go thru the entire process following the exact steps. If you encounter just ANY problem (although highly unlikely) flash the 230 FW in FULL, (including WIPE everything), And start again.:good:
