[q] super noob wants to root his phone

HI THERE,
i AM SUPER NOOB. DO NOT USE ANY TERM WITHOUT EXPLAINING PLEASE.
i have the rogers play with 2.3.3. i did root it before using that app that would root your phon with just installing it. now after i updated to 2.3.3. that didnt work.
im wondering if now there is a new version of it?! if not please tell me what is the easiest wy to root the phone. and if u are going to help me please speak noob language. dont just say stuff cuz u assume i know it. im new to all this. never flashed any phone or anything like that. lol
thanks a lot. i need this cuz im getting low space msg and i have lotf or rogers crap on my phone that i want to get rid of. thank youuuuuuuu

You are so noob that you did not read the rules posted in this section. You are supposed to ask all questions in the general area.

You need to be saved from yourself so im not answering you question until you read until your eyes bleed.

Some proper English would help. If you don't know what your doing, and need step by step instructions, you shouldn't be rooting your Play anyway.

Any progress on 2.3.4 Root update? Besides Clip?

The reason that i ask this question is that i bought my mother a droid incredible 2 as she needed a solid phone to use for her business and something for her emails, easy web access, amongst many other things business oriented that her LG flip phone couldnt do. The issue is i dont live anwhere near her so i cant do the only root methof that we currently have, bc im not there, and it would be overly dificult to remote in and explain to her and all that. My question is, is there going to be something as easy as unrevoked or revolutionary that will come out for this update? THat i can explain over the phone, not a problem. Dont flame me for asking, if you look at my stats ive been here for some time and dont need someone telling me to wait if im a noob, im not, i just dont have easy access to the phone. also, is there any easy way to to tether? without root? like changing something in the service menu? that is a fool proof tested way to work? sorry for all the questions, ive stopped coming here for a while bc f some dooche in the fascinate forums, that ended up in the thunderbolt forums, that then ended up in the bionic forums and i just got tired of him. Good to be back all, thanks in advance for any help

I've read through the forums and the answer seems to be, "Yes, you can now obtain root without the clip. But only if you're competent in Swahili, like everyone ought to be. Otherwise, you don't have any business asking questions about how to do it."

How to ICS a rooted arc

Hello everyone, I find this all a tad confusing so bare with me.
I have a rooted arc lt15a (screenshot attached.)
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Kernal 2.6.32.9-perf
build 4.0.2.A.0.42
I would like to go to ICS on my phone only if I continue to have it rooted so I can keep RAM usage low.
Do I root again? What version?
I have looked at other threads, but the circumstances with what others have installed is different, not sure if I follow the same steps from the root I have.
help would be appreciated, thank you

This should be moved to Q&A section.

If your bootloader is unlocked and your flashing the recommended kernal etc then you shouldn't have a problem
Sent from my R800i

that is the problem, the bootloader will not unlock. i did the step by step and came up with the same problem cwm (x-parts) is not working.

if you alredy know the problem why keep trying. it the bootloader do not unlock it do not unlock. nothing you can do about it. other then installing a rom that dose not require unlocked bootloader.

here's another problem, i can't seem to root it again after i did the update.

What phone you got? R800x or R800i?

r800at

why do that when i got the hone for 30 bucks. and no i am not a paedophile, if i was i'd be locked up for the rest of my life like my girlfriend's ex husban. think i will keep myself free of that thank you very much.

Sorry if I offended you, was just joking, what do you mean by "hone"?
Edit: understand now. Do you know if your bootloader can be unlocked or not?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

from what i know it can be unlocked if i can get it rooted and cwm working on this current build.

I have an R800i so i don't really know how it works for the R800at. For the R800i, you type in the following in the dialer, " *#*#7378423#*#*". I know this doesn't really help you, but perhaps there is a similar step for the R800at that tells you whether or not your bootloader can be unlocked?
This may help but like i said, i don't own an R800at and i am in fact, quite a noob myself:

Why do we have to pay For bootloader unlock

Why do we have to pay but everyone else gets it free and why is nobody doing anything to change that and if you are how can I help if at all I find it dumb that we pay but everyone else has free or hacks and the people who know how to hack ours are making us pay? Thats crap that samsung users do and were better than that
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk 2

Because that's the way the cookie crumbles. We got a hack that requires paid software to unlock the bootloader on non-unlockable Plays. End of story

Not to sound harsh but if you did a search instead of making a new thread you will see this has been answered several times.
See this thread, my response.. see post #3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731521
quoted from me:
"he only way now is to pay $24 to have alejandrossimo do it for you. The reason for the fee is because the software used to unlock makes the person using it buy credits to do certain functions. So the price to unlock is not to pay someone to unlock your phone but to allow that person to pay to unlock it for you. Alejandrossino makes no no eyes on this. He is simply using moving the money you pay to the software to Plow unlocking. Sorry if this explanation is long. Just wanted to make it clear. "
Please in the future do a search first, if you still have questions then by all means post a thread. I am not trying to harp on you but sometimes doing a seach is your your best friend for quick answers.

Holy crap. Some people just dont understand ****. The software for unlocking cost maybe 150bucks. He would be stupid if he would offer free unlocks of the bloader. Stop trying to be fool and deal with it.

True, I was happy to pay tbf. Its not like its a fortune, the guy has to give up his time to walk you through it (I'm not a complete spastic and it still took several minutes for the explanation, reading etc) and the end result was that not only could I dabble more heavily with custom roms and so on but also carrier unlocked my device.
Both of those reasons are selfish to myself in that they only benefit me so why shouldnt I pay? I would do so again too, to reward those that are more learned than me in this field and take their time to help out the likes of me who dont know what they are doing.

it's pretty easy but yeah, i wish it was free too i feel ya

Just keep watching his facebook page....I've seen free unlocks that run for 2 hours but most often I've seen $10 unlocks...like earlier today, even if I missed it l

You don't have to pay you can use s1tool
(Dunno about CDMA but it certainly works for anything else (SEMC or SETOOL certificate)).
You still have to do it over testpoint.

Alejandrissmo lives in the Mexico timeframe. Your best bet is to message him at night (Ca time).

I tried all the possibilities He hasnt replied yet. I added him on Gtalk. Lets hope he replies now.

I got my play unlocked by alejandrissimo. He told me that if i want ICS Stable, then I should flash the firmware for Neo L (mt25). that will give me stable ICS. does anyone know about this?

Yes, but the touchpads will not work.
