Hi there all. I'm very new to the whole rooting experience.
I have been an avid reader for quite sometime but w my phone I don't know where to begin as for the e973 i get somewhat of a runaround via google.
Can someone point me to links on how to root, install twrp/cwm and the proceed to get Paranoid Android or another custom ROM on my LG?
In "dummy" speak please. Lol. Thanks and happy holidays!!

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S III, which is with Bell in Canada. It is the I747M running android 4.1.1. I want to root it and put CyanogenMod on it but I have no idea where to start. Please help me!
Thanks in advance!

Should i be updating my note 2 to android 4.3 or i should be rooting and flash other rom.
It's up to you what you gonna do with your phone. Nobody should tell you what to do, only samsung do it. If you update there is way of going back. So decide what you do. Flashing is dangerous and some custom roms don't work without bugs , but for every thing is solution. If you feel that you gonna read much and check all the steps before flashing then you could go this way.
If you want your phone to give you no job at all then stay oficial. Well 4.3 has nothing to offer....

Hey folks,
I hope I'm posting this in the right area, but here goes: I got myself an LG G3 back in November, and just recently saw someone with a 5.0 update on their phone. I also learned that we have the update here in Canada, but our amazing phone carriers are holding out on us. So, I would like to ask for help in rooting and updating my phone to the new Rom as I know next to nothing about the process, though I did follow a guide here a few years back The phone was originally a Roger's phone and I unlocked it to work with Virgin. Thanks all.
Any takers?

For installing a new rom (via kdz) you do not need to root your phone.

Really? That's awesome! But I would like to root it and play around with some extra functions so I could learn. What's kdz?
EDIT: I wanna note that I've heard a bit about "stumping" but I know nothing of what it is, so if anyone could shed some light for me, I'd appreciate it.

LOL. And can someone help this person here too?

Hundreds of posts regarding rooting. 5.0
Can't be done. You must revert to kit Kat via kdz or tot. Root. Then install custom recovery and install a "bumped" lollipop rom
I'm already on kitkat atm. Tbh I'm not so hot into the root function, I just want to update the rom if it improves battery life, and utilizes the quad HD better.
