[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.

Go somewhere else.
Go: Move from a place to another one.
Somewhere: used when there will not be much precision about the location you're being sent to.
Else: in this case, it implies that going back to your starting point (that is, this forum) is undesirable, and that your destination should be different from your starting point.

Ok I paid a guy to root my phone and he wasnt able to.. he was using ginger break 1 click solution from the phone..
so it didnt work..lol im out the money.. and i still need to do it..
here is the info on about phone..
Firmware version
2.6.35.7
build number
GingerBread EI22
ok I need a dummys guide.. some thing straight forward please on the steps i need to get super user and rooted.. I need to tether my phone to my laptop and im not able to as of right now.. a custom rom on my phone would be nice to lol..
thanks

Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.

You guys are too nice to these idiots. Not a clue on how to root or rom, and posting in odd places. Have fun bricking your epic, jr.

[Q] A Dad's cry for rooting help!

My son always does my computer/cell phone fixes, but he just got out of major surgery and will be mentally and physically out of it for a while and I need help. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Epic) , Gingerbread.EI22 2.3.5. --- Sprint recently forced an auto upgrade on it and unrooted my tethering program. I have looked on all sorts of websites and don't understand their instructions. You geniuses speak a different language than I do. Could someone provide, or point me to, simple step by step instructions to get back my Wireless Tether?

Hi everyone.... ok this is the process I recommend. Write down in order the files and steps needed and to be performed. Its actually simple. To start u off, u turn the phone off. give the phone about 30 seconds to completely power off. The with the keyboard open, u press and hold. The "1" button and press power button at the same time. This gets u into download mode. Then just proceed with the rest of the process.

Navigate to the updater-script inside the META-INF folder. Open updater-script with something like Notepad++.
There you will find some ui_print("..") stuff or add/delete/edit some.
everything between the "" will be printed on the screen while installing.
Make sure you know what you're doing before stuff goes wrong...
Next time use the search function, you will find more answers than there will be posted in this thread, and nobody likes 200 copies of the same question.
also, guys, calm down.. Everyone has to start at the bottom, nobody is born with Android-knowledge.

Make sure you use Notepad ++ if windows is your dev system of choice , if you use notepad/wordpad windows changes the ANSI of the file so it's not readable under linux/android
What kinda rom you making ? is it a port ? or compiled from source ? any development is good development !
and to all the neh sayers everyone has to start somewhere , don't be hating because someone asks for help , lolz and the OP use the search facility and the good thing with android is most stuff isn't device specific so don't be afraid to search threads for other devices aswell on your quest for knowledge

Now u don't have to worry about flashing that new ROM or mod because u are on the road or any thing else as long as u have this CD with u u will always be able to recover this is also good for people who r having trouble installing fast boot drivers and adb this eliminates that problem for u
