[Q] Help me to choose a recovery

Hi folks!
I need some help to choose my new recovery.
ATM i have the an S-OFF desire with Clockworkmod 2.5.1.2, that lead me to the USB brick (and a lot of swear) pretty often when i do a nandroid backup.
Now i see there are a lot of new recovery, with a lot of feature and so on.
What I will choose? I see RMD, new version of AmonRA, CWM, 4EXT etc.
I can flash it with Android Flasher?

Terepin!!!

[Q] How to root GN Android 4.2.2

Hi,
How can I root GN android 4.2.2.
my device is already unlocked. I tried GN toolkit but the latest android is not available.
your help is highly appreciated.

Root it like every other nexus device:
fastboot flash a custom recovery
reboot recovery
flash supersu.zip

Learn adb and fastboot. Toolkits are just about the worst thing XDA has ever birthed. If you can't learn to use a basic command prompt you definitely shouldn't be rooting or otherwise modifying your device.

with the release of 4.2.2, it has become evident that 99% of the people here arent interested in learning anything. you should see the Nexus 7 section. The mods wont even do anything over there.

root for 4.2.2
I need files, thanks for replies but still not clear.

May something heavy fall on your head. It's not like you use it anyway.

I don't understand you, I just asked for help since I can't get it done myself and you are replying me with such message. This is strange.... Well someone else do assist if you can.

problems with your post
1) you never mentioned what you tried
2) you didnt even take the advice in this thread
3) you didnt read the thread at the top of the QA forum

regisls you
Everybody relax. Dude asked a question.. The purpose of the forum is to provide help to new users to get them caught up, not to disrespect someone who asks a question, how did you learn "zep?"
Regardless of him/her reading the QA, the question was answered already.

I do not know the name of what I tried but got them from this forum and also another one from here http://www.ngbtips.com/root-jdq-android-4-2-2-on-galaxy-nexus-i9250.html which didn't work for me. My phone showed me the roboto with a warning sign and a "no command" at the bottom while the cmd window was shaping "waiting for device".

Let's see;
A. There's 3 stickies and < infinity threads about this topic.
B. His question was answered WITHIN THIS THREAD.
C. You answered the same question on this same page yourself
D. Its not xdaNannies.
So no.
If somebody isn't capable of being self sufficient for the < 10 minutes the rooting/unlocking process takes what hope do they have of ever contributing anything other than duplicate threads?

he's still correct. xda was not founded to be a help site for your phone. it was meant for developers. hence the name.

would you mind to check the rom request thread on questions and answers secion, you might be interested in making that rom, because i belevieve that that kind of rom would be the most successful one out there for wfs.

Rooting, themes and more..

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!

Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.

The 816 can have its bootloader unlocked, thanks to HTCs website and some guides that can be found here. There are more roms around if you look hard enough. Some of the roms are not posted onto these forms, but most of the popular ones will be here. S-OFF/ON would be nice so we dont have to void our warranties by unlocking the bootloader, but without S OFF, its alot harder to brick your device, which is nice
