I feel stupid
I am attempting to root my Galaxy S2/ or Epic 4G Touch but looking around there is not a clear way to root it and noticed with this phone its easier to brick this phone. If anyone could leave a link to a good video or a how-to to be able to root my phone would be appreciated.

My advice is to keep looking here and in the Q&A section. The answers you seek are all around the forum and the first step on the path to enlightenment is reading.

This is the video i used. Make sure you are on the latest ics build if you are using his links though. I am use to rooting HTC phones. It is much different than this. The root was a piece of cake it was the recovery that i was confused on. and still am. I used a recovery but i would like to install clockwork if i can. Just haven't tried to find it yet. Always read over the stickies though before u do anything.

Okay so i been lurking around XDA for sometime now and i own an HTC Evo which i love, and would love more if i could root it with some cool Roms but every tutorial i have seen, I get stuck or it just gets too complicated or it's outdated and i just quit because i really don't want to brick or damage this phone. I don't know if it's me or the tutorial probably both or just me but too me this feels like rocket science so if anyone could help me root my phone i would very much appreciate it, I can Chat through Gmail or a different messenger.
Sorry if i posted in the wrong section but i figured since this is the development section mostly everyone in it must know how to root.
Check this thread out from android forums. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies-extras.html
I recommend using the unrevoked method if you do not have the new h-boot. Whatever method you end up using just make sure you read/follow the directions carefully.

going to try out the method you posted since my Evo has 3.29 and not the new hboot
I'm thinking of rooting my EVO but I don't know how to and I don't know how to unroot if I had too. I'm hoping to get some good info and maybe some links..

Read thru the Dev sec there are threads on how to unroot

All the info is here. You are in the right place. Check out the dev section and you will find exactly what you are looking for. I started right where you are at and came here, but instead of asking people to show me the links, I read and read and read every post in the dev section that had to do with rooting and unrooting. Now both are very easy for me. I suggest that you go to the dev section and look for [ROOT] at the beginning of the thread title and read them all. That's what everyone else did and I seriously doubt someone is going to give you all the links to root your EVO.
Why would you want to unroot your EVO? I've never wanted to go back.

So I'm new to the forums here at XDA and I have a quick question.
So I recently dropped my phone and cracked the screen, I have insurance so I'm going to order the replacement soon but before I do I wanted to know are you able to root the new 2.3.6 Epic 4G Touch? I have root on my current phone right now and I can't live without the root. Any helpful information is welcome.
Thank you.
yes there won't be a problem getting root on your new phone. get it replaced.
Thank you for the reply. Do I just use ODIN and follow the same steps as the original Root method?

Everything you need to root is in this thread:

It is stickied in the Development forum in case you need to find it later.
Thank you so much. I will replace my phone and try it out.

You can start your search for info HERE.
And when you are done reading that you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473373 . Which is currently the thread right below this one. There's probably literally hundreds of threads here on rooting. You have to read...especially the stickies.
hello everyone let me make this quick.
I have an unlocked ATT note i717 thats running on t-mobile now.
3 quick questions:
Link, thread or video that shows me from start to finish thoroughly on how to install:
1) cwm
2) t-mobile radio Rom
3) Steps to flashing new Rom
I know newbies can be disturbing so that's why i only ask for direction. I believe i can figure it out from there.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

So you know, you are in a NOTE 2 forum. Because I c your speaking of the original Note!! Everything I stated was fir a NOTE 2 ok
To flash a custom recovery, all you need is goo manger. I'm using TWRP recovery! But first you need to root your phone.
Here's a link for rooting

It probably took longer to start this thread than it would have been to search. Google and YouTube can be your friend. And if your not even posting in the right section your already off to a bad start.

worse case senario:
Although, I do agree a Google search would have been a good first start. Second, asking in either the AT&T GN2 subforums or T-Mobile on XDA. I think Sprint's just comes up first, and people'e just aren't paying enough attention. I like to think that people think Sprint users just are more knowledgeable, LOL.
