New to rooting/modding/flashing and new to this site. Is there a document that describes the entire process? I searched for a begginer guide but did not find anything. I have so many questions. Do you have to update the kernel before flashing the rom? What do you flash the rom with. Is there a backup and restore utility that can restore my phone back to what it is right now. Can I backup settings and files so that I am running in minutes. If i am looking for speed and battery life what rom should I choose as a business user requiring 100% reliability. I am sure there is a noob guide, but I couldn't find it. Any help or links will be greatly appreciated.

Read this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744807. You can root your phone with unrevoked, or learn adb and use that. ROM manager is the best app, you can download and flash roms easily, and backup and restore your phone.
Kernels come with Roms, unless it says otherwise, what you use to flash the rom with is a custom recovery, most people use Clockworkmod which you can easily can install from rom manager in the market after root, you can also make backups using rom manager, or just boot into Clockworkmod, where you can do it too (Power off --> hold volume down + power --> Recovery--> voila, your in Clockwork), A lot of people use an awesome app from the market called titanium backup, with it you can backup apps and restore them on the roms you use (backups are stored on a microsd card) and lastly a great rom to use is Cyanogenmod 7, I'm on RC3 and there are very little bigs, and big fixes are released daily.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the information!

I only see ways to backup before rooting. I read this thread [TUT] How to Unlock Bootloader and Root your Htc One V and are the bootloader and root different things? Do you have to install bootloader to root or can you just root it without?

Bootloader is a program that loads files required during booting.Rooting is a process which gives you access to the root of the system.Bootloader is a program while rooting is a process.
As far as backing up before rooting is concerned, there is a guide here about backing up before rooting.
Searched,but couldn't find it.
And,bootloader doesn't need to be installed,it is present in the device.
And,rooting requires an unlocked bootloader unless you have s-off,which you most probably don't have.
[email protected] OP is not asking how to flash a ROM or a kernel,he's asking the difference between root and bootloader.

Thanks. So back to my original question, how do I backup before unlocking bootloader and rooting? I don't want to lose the data on some of the apps I have.
In my reply,I said that I could not find the thread.I searched,but couldn't find it....wait I'll search again....

Rooting procedure does not needs backup .. it will not delete your data though ...
OK,here is the guide for a full adb backup before rooting-

Thanks. Will I be able to restore my data after I root the phone? Or will it restore the stock android that I had on there?
If you restore the adb backup,you will get to the same state(an identical image) as you were before,with all the data and game progress.

So, is there is any way to import my data and game progress after I root the phone?
You will not be able to import any game progress from the unlocked/unrooted phone to the newly rooted phone.
But after rooting,play again and save the game progress using Ti Backup; you can use Titanium Backup to restore app+data in any Rom after that(though,it is not recommended).
Fine.

Wow. There goes my minecraft world, my 3 star angry birds levels, my unlocked "swag" in fruit ninja, and a whole bunch of other random games that had some nice saved progress.
This is worth it though because Titanium Backup is able to backup apps!
Rooting also gives better control of my phone and I can remove all those annoying network apps that I can't uninstall now.
Thanks for the info.
But,don't worry,after rooting you can easily hack games using gamecih or game saves are easily available online.just google 'angry birds game save' or for any other game you want
Edit: Root isnt required for backing up apps.you can backup using any file manager like file expert.but,to backup data,root is required.
Oh yea, that's what I meant. Backing up data

One last question, will I need to back up my SD card too? I installed apps on there. Will the ADB backup back those stuff up too?
No need.
The adb will create an identical image of your rom like CWM or TWRP would.
when you restore the backup,just put the sd with the games in the phone or it will say app not installed.
Or,to avoid unnecessary confusion,move the games to the phone and then do the backup.

Earlier this week my Sensation 4g died. I bought a Note 2. Little did I know that there were issues with it that I and others have with it, ie: no easy immediate way to do app to sd for instance. Another thing I wanted was to be able to add or take away data from installed apps by connecting the phone to a computer via usb and accessing the files that way, which again doesn't happen without some work.
Since then I have rooted the phone (according to the download mode screen, which says: current binary and system status is custom.
I have left everything stock except for the rooting part and installed Superuser and SuperSU and then tried to run Titanium Backup (free) when it said 'could not access root using \something\something\su command".
I have tried several other apps and methods of trying to do what I want (from the first paragraph) but none have succeeded either due lack of documentation (and I didn't know how to do a certain step or fix something) or it just didn't work.
So where am I at now? I have factory reset my phone and am now honestly not sure where to go or what to do from here. I've Googled and Googled but nothing quite seems to be able to fix what I need and if it does then it has the lack of documentation and can't help me.
Any thoughts or guides or something that anyone could post/link to? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken but kernels don't deal with being able to save apps to sd. I could be wrong since I don't dabble in android dev. Thanks though.
We need background... 1st of all...
What way did you use to root (Cf_auto_root, Stock-root injected, etc)?
Does your phone still have exynos_exploit or did your phone come with that "OTA Update" pre installed?
What SD card are you using?
What rom/kernal are you trying to run?
Most of the time, in this particular forum, its seems best to just ask what your trying to accomplish within the various rom/kernal thread...
Like lets say im on Stick injected rom/kernal without extsd2internalsd (apps2sd) setup and lets say I want to go to Jedi Master 9.... I would then go to Jedi Master 9 thread and ask for help on how to effectively apply that rom with ExtSd2internalsd support from my current setup, and wait for the OP or seniors to reply... also while "patiently waiting" I would read/search through the hundreds of pages looking for answers/insights to my particular process... if needed might go to my own root process thread and ask for advice on how to get to jedi master 9
Id be more than willing to help you here but need some background on your phones current status and end rom/kernal to provide an answer (to be sure I dont lead you awry

Thanks. I did answer that I am running everything stock at the moment, just rooted, no kernel or rom. I have an 8gb class 4 microsd card. My root method was cf auto root. I also stated what I was hoping to achieve also (in my first paragraph). Hopefully this helps.
Oh, if possible I'd like the easiest way to remove or disable system apps like chat on or some of the tmobile stuff. I tried a couple different methods with that too but couldn't quite get it all to work.
I tried the qtadb app but couldn't get my device to be seen by the program on the computer and i tried that app because I had no idea where to start with regular adb, its been a long time since i've done any of this stuff.
To remove or disable system apps I use root uninstaller, sometimes it won't delete system apps on the first try just exit the app go back and do it again second attemt will do, for your data problem I'll try root browser or root Explorer

Well it turns out you can download and install apps requiring root but they just wont run correctly, if at all. I know because after my factory reset, i downloaded and ran 2 root checker apps, both of which said I no longer have root or something. So now I'm just going through the rooting process again.
Edit: I'm not rooted again, as checked by 2 root confirmation apps. Now to try to get TB running and remove bloatware.
Edit 2: Great success! I got TB to work, bought PRO and have just frozen everything i dont need or dont use.

Hello,
I'm thinking about rooting my phone (HTC One X 4.1.1, CID_102) and I want to make sure a few things:
1. I'm going to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
Exactly as it says there.
Is it ok?
2. When a new update is released, how can I update my device with the root? I will keep using the stock rom, only with ROOT.
3. How can I backup all of my data? Including pics, SMS, whatsapp, app settings and information and etc.
4. Is there an option that when I start my device again after it was formated, it will download all of the previous apps? if not, then I need to make a list of all of my apps.. about 35 but still.
Thanks!
1. Great choice!
2. You need to flash stock recovery. And restore any system apps you've deleted.
Then update normally and you won't lose root.
3. Do a backup in ClockWorkMod recovery or whatever recovery you use. Transfer it to your PC afterwards for safe storage.
4. Download titanium backup and back up all your apps. Then transfer the backup to PC.

Thank you, I guess I will ask about it when there is a new update.
Can you help me with questions 3 and 4?
Well the steps are :
Unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom recovery
In that custom recovery is an option backup and restore, when you press backup it runs a complete nand backup of everything on the phone except the sdcard.
If you want to just backup parts like sms,whatsapp etc etc....then you can use titanium backup like TT said or another program called carbon. These apps allows you to backup just parts that you wantnto backup and restore after an update.
I always start with a clean install of all apps and stuff, it "feels" better to me. But that is a personal opinion

1 . Can you explain a bit more specific the "freedom" part ...i don't know that ....I'm a noob
2 . You want only the swiftkey keyboard ? Its a install from the playstore right ?

1. Freedom is an application that lets you (with root) to get stuff from applications that costs money (in-app purchase).
2. No, the CM10 has the latinme (if I'm ont mistaken) keyboard, that Android 4.2 has as stock, and it has swipe feature. In CM10 they put swipe in more langauges so I want to use it.
I think that if I'll install the GAPPS from CM10 then it will install this keyboard also. In order to do that, I just need to put the .ZIP file in my phone, and from the recovery install it like I installed SU?
Can I delete it later? and the gapps will update also from market (and not blocked like a pirated application)
Here's the keyboard, install like normal .apk. Pulled from android 4.2.1.
http://db.tt/g7ej8rog
1 . So if i understand it right its some sort of illegal app that gets in app purchases for free ? If so .... its illegal on xda
2 . CM10 is more TT's department i never used those roms so i don't know much about them....sorry, hopefully TT is reading along with us and can shine a light on the keyboard thingy

oh he replied to me, I will update in short if the keyboard works for me as I want or not.
This is just a warning.
Any app that allows you to download a paid app for free is classed as warez on XDA and is not allowed. You can not upload any app on XDA that is a paid app. The warez policy also includes trying to get around in-app purchases.
ok, sorry.
TT, I installed what you sent me, but for some reason the keyboard doesn't appear on Language & keyboard menu.
EDIT:
Didn't notice, it was installed but it doesn't swipe in my language, but in CM10's keyboard (at least for the Galaxy Nexus) it is.
Is there a way to put their keyboard on my phone?
Hi!
So after a few months of using my UNROOTED Desire Z with HTC Sense 2.1(I think) and Gingerbread 2.3.3 and Launcher X.. my phone has developed several software issues.. hangs up.. works slow.. doesnt install some updates (Package file invalid error) and so on.. Clearing cache from Bootup/Recovery doesnt help as well as clearing data and cache for all apps installed..
So I guess the only way is to factory reset the device.. only prob.. I have Drag Racing/4P1W and other save game files in data/data folder and since the phone is unrooted I cannot uses Titanium or other apps to backup the save game files...
So my question:
Is it possible to temp root the phone and use any methods to backup files from internal memory folder data/data?
I think it is impossible to access the said folders without root. Am I correct?
Any other methods to backup these files would be appreciated. I read you can use adb to pull files without rooting an ICS device but GB does not support that, Would downgrading F/W to attain temp root delete these files?
Many thanks in advance!
Probably the easiest thing to do is temp root with visionary, then back up with titanium and save files to PC. Wipe phone and SD, follow the xda wiki to root, put a custom ROM on and restore only what you need

Yup you got it! Just follow that guide to a t, then proceed to the xda wiki to finish the rooting process and install a custom rom. If you don't know what to try just grab a rom based of whatever is stock for your phone, you'll find lists and much of them in the developers section.
If this guide is at all confusing look into strawmetals pdf guide of the cyanogen wiki for identical guides just writen differently

I was able to download that PDF you recommended and followed it.. very simple and fast.. I then used the adb pull to get everything from my data/data folder as there were some apps that were missing from TiBu list.. anyways... I have everything I needed to backup now...
Next step.. downgrading and rooting!
Do you know if stock ICS/Jellybean work on DesireZ? Is the H/W fully functional with them? Do they effect speed/performance in any way?
Many thanks!
I'm glad its all working out!
There is no stock ICS or jb for this phone rather custom ROMs. The hardware seems to like gingerbread the best and that's the latest we have all the proper drivers for. Having said that we also have some very talented devs who have made some great ROMs.
I'm guessing by stock you mean non sense ROMs, and depending how you use your phone these ICS and jb ROMs can be just as smooth or smoother than sense gb, and even some of the newer sense and miui ROMs aren't all too shabby.
I'd say try a few out and see what is best for you, just make nandroid backups in recovery before each flash that way you can easily go between ROMs
Happy flashing!

This is a great tutorial rizzoizzo made, be sure to thank him for his work
You will find all the download links in the developers section for any rom you'd like, including jellybaby. Which if this is what you would like I would recommend darkspadz aosp jb build as jellybaby is really just that with a few apps added and such, but with darkspadz build you will get the base rom. Also ghul as a nice version (both cm10.1 and aosp) that is those pure andromadus bases with added spoofing, very good stuff
