[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.

New Root Method?

WHAT TEH HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?! Two firmware's have been released 4.0.2.A.0.62 & 4.0.2.A.0.69, WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE GOT OFF THEIR LAZY A***'S AND TRIED TO FIND A METHOD?
I hope the Dev's read this & try to do something ^_^
I found this, could someone do this for the play's?????

Sounding like that, you may be hard-pressed to find anyone who will.
Posted from something awesome

That's a very rude way to ask for something.. good luck finding someone to help you!

Um...... 2 things.
1. you could ask nicely "if" work is being done to gain root to these two firmwares
2. its quite possible that devs are working on it but have yet to find a way to gain root access........
And the moral of this write up.......... politeness goes a long way..... asking like an a$$hole gets the opportunity doors slammed in your face.... seriously if you are not happy about "WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE GOT OFF THEIR LAZY A***'S AND TRIED TO FIND A METHOD, then how about YOU find out how to do these things so YOU can do it your self.

There is a method that's the funny thing, I'm not saying anymore.

The real answhere is: NO ONE CARES A FU*K ABOUT LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Just unlock. Than you flash Doomkernel and you have root. Always on newest Firmware.
Locked Bootloader sucks in many ways.

Im 14 hehe

Your age is not an excuse. Stop hiding from your dumbass mistakes. I had more sense and was more polite than you when I was 12. You used a similar defence when accusing me of copying your status bar. Stupidity is not limited to age and ill mannered logic definitely is NOT. There's also a roundabout method of rooting the .62 firmware(.69 is german only according to xperia blog) which if you cared to research would've found.

ICS ROM?

I just got my new phone and I was using a Galaxy S Vibrant and I was using a ICS ROM, is there a stable ICS ROM for my SGH-T989?
Also some of the links are broken in the rooting guide, is there any other guide?
Thanks in advanced.

There is no guide and no ROM. Your search can stop now.

No ICS ROM yet. Probably won't see a real one until the Stock OTA hits the phone. And nobody knows when that is.
Here's a guide that is about as simple as it gets:

Will I still recieve OTA updates if rooted?

I am on EL29 just rooted w recovery will I still get OTA updates?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Yes but it will fail to install

How did you root if sfhubs I suggest you go back and read his thread quite Andes tools to check OTA compatibility for upgrades. All info needed is there for you and a Google search would of helped you out as well...

Just rooted no other changes it will not fail. You will lose root by taking the OTA and at this point rooting the OTA will be the same as flashing the OTA manually, so not really a point in worrying about it. No one knows for sure what date we will get what, but EL29 was leaked days before it OTA'd for example.

Spelling is ok but thanks for your response. Voice talk and quick submit button was the victim but once again thanks for your kind words
Edit:
by the way what I was trying to say sfhub has tools that check your OTA compliance and his methods of rooting do not mess you up for taking an OTA but honestly why are you taking an OTA anyways... my bad had to ask, it is your choice...
Hey ewmccraw did I spell everything right?

I may have misunderstood your response to the OP, but I felt like you were rebuking him a little for not using google search first as opposed to just posting the question. I apologize if I did. It's just a little pet peeve of mine when that happens. After all, it's just the internet and that's the whole purpose of a forum. You know, free discussion and all that....again, sory if I missunderstud (see what I did there?)

I get it that its a forum and no prob but that does not mean you forget everything that got you to this point and that would be the search function. I will suggest using the search function as well as providing an answer... No prob and I think you spelled discusion wrong----(see what I did there) LOL

Thanks for the answers. Well the reason I wonder is because once we get ICS source and ROMs start getting built won't it be easier to flash ICS ROMs instead of having to switch around different kernels/ recoveries to flash and risk of brick will be lower? And I just didnt do a ton of searching because I been busy posting is faster.

Been gone a while...Have a "yes" noob ?

Good evening. I havent been on here in a WHILE since I got rid of my htc EVO. I am looking for the new and easiest way to root/unlock my epic 4g touch please... I was reading around a few and some of them mess your wifi up and I need mine for work purposes. I would be flashing Cyan9 of course after I root the phone. I do apologize for the "noob" Where can I find the way to root question. Thanks again

It only takes minimal reading to find out how to root this phone. But you can use this link. Please follow the instructions! It may look complicated, but it really isn't.

You can't go wrong....

On phone so can't link, but if you go to develop section, there's 1 master sticky. In there is a ton of sticky posts, find the one on rooting. After that go to the cyan thread and read the first 2 pages. Then go to q and a questions with anything leftover. 10 min of reading and you'll be way ahead of where you are now. Good luck

Sfhubs auto root. If your flashing cm9 you'll need to add the EL26+cwm kernel to flash.

Just make sure you thoroughly read and follow the installation instructions for whatever ROM you are going to flash and always ask questions before you take any step you are unsure of. Don't take shortcuts or disregard any instructions.
There are so many people in this forum who are willing to help if only asked.
Happy flashing and good luck!

Im good to go! Thanks. Now the only thing its my "superuser" app is saying it has an update. I was reading some of the reviews on it and people said dont update. What should I do?
