Always try youtube. Or navigate through the forum and find your phone and you will find a subsection all about development
You should find a topic on how to root it.
I rooted my Desire S via the Revolutionary Tool!
Might work for you!

oh my, you're gonna get super flamed for this. ROM is preference. There are lots of great ones. Read the stickies for root, don't accept any OTA updates..if you update OTA the 2.3 kiss rooting goodbye..Read! Then read some more. This is the friendliest advice you are going to get from this thread you started..I promise.
Go with unrevoked. Check out YouTube. There are many great walk throughs of it there. Just make sure video is for latest unrevoked (think its 3.2) !!watch full video a few times b4 u attempt it 2 get familiar with what's gonna happen. U can always ruin back. Do it on a windows PC is my advice.

You really needed to post in the development forum?
Your question has been answered already.

Use xhausx autoroot. best there is.
Which version of unrevoked should one use? Unrevoked 3 gives a 403 forbidden message to me. Any advice? New to rooting evo here. TIA.

you need a 'ready to root' ftf to flash onto your phone before you can root it.
here's one for arc s
after flashing, put your phone in debugging mode and connect your phone to pc and run the 'RunMe.bat' file from this (extract first)
Shall give it a go and post results.

Hello All,
I just purchased the T-Mobile edition on the Galaxy S III and I ignorantly updated from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1.
I want to root my phone. Am I screwed? Please help me I don't want to screw up my phone.
Thanks for any help.
Why would that be ignorant ?
Yes, you can root JB. Even if you couldn't, you could always flash back to ICS if it was that important to you.
Check out the other forums here and ctrl+f "root" - there are guides that will completely walk you through it. I used the root66 root-injected stock ROM to root my phone, it was the first time I'd ever done such a thing and the guide is well-written and goes baby-step by baby-step.

Any recommendations on the best ROM?
Have people become so lazy that they can't search?
Don't be a jerk. I have tried a few I was just asking what he thought was best that's all.
Comon bro, you made time to criticize but not to help.

I looked but I am unsure of which method to use, as in what is the difference between the CF-auto root and the CASUAL. Also which version of twrp do i use?
I used Casual.
After rooting, install GooManager and have it install TWRP.

just helping the average joe from bricking their phone
Hi Xda I was wondering if anyone can help me downgrade or point me in the right direction to help me downgrade my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 or just to 5.0. 1 so I can gain root. Thanks to who ever can help me out
Hi,
To better assist you, please post your device model number and I will guide you to where you may find your answer.
Thank you.
It's SM-N910V sorry for the late reply
Hope you can help
You can downgrade to 5.0.1 firmware BOG5 but you will not gain root or even temp root.
Is there a way to gain root any way what so ever, I miss root on my device Ive rooted every single one of my android but this note 4 can't seem to find a way too root it thanks for the help if u can.
I wanna go back to 5.1 so I can use kingroot but it's probably not possible
