[Q] Understanding Root Process - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I understand what rooting is and how after gaining it, developers make a nice little package for us but my question is this..... how does the process start? I've Googled a little bit but haven't found much. Can anyone point me in the rright direction? I want to understand what developers do from square one. Thanks in advance!

Try the generic Note 4 forum and look into the Developer's sub forum. A lot of the discussion happens on IRC, but there are tidbits there to be picked up.

Plz, learn you how to read.
Third post into the main thread. C'mon. I encourage you to read everything you can from the first three posts in this thread. If you're still just completely confused, we will try and help... but if you can't help yourself, what's the point in us helping you?
If you just search and go through the forums it's all in there..
for someone with as many posts I would think you have already read how to install this on your Touch Pro(aka Raphael). Like people before me have said it is all in the topic in this forum. If you need more assistance please contact me at [email protected] or just pm me.
I don't understand! The Android forum is IN THIS SECTION!! How could you not come across it? Next time please search a little harder. Thanks!
I think this is a troll post, haha.. judging by the topic title.

Considering Kurdish is his first language, I doubt it. But I guess it's possible. Why is my question, why the hell would you post something like this if you really do know better? Some people's children I guess.

Uh... What? I understand Android is new to you and others, but I did a LOT of reading about how it works before I even asked one question. That's all we ask, search, read, absorb... and then if you're still stuck, ask. But just flailing your arms and saying "help me help me" isn't going to get you anywhere. Especially on the internet.

If you've gone through the process of learning yourself how to have WM ROMs, the process to learn how to load these Android OS's is significantly easier.

I am new to the forum world but my husband is an expert. I have a question that I have been searching google and every other search engine before I posted this. My husband and I have the same phone (bought at the same time) and it is a mytouch 3G 3.5mm Jack. He received the froyo 2.2.1 Android update for his phone a couple of days ago. I have yet to receive mine and I wanted to know if there is any way for me to manually update mine so I don't have to wait for the OTA update?
Thanks for the help and letting me join this forum,

So knowing those three things is going to make you a dev?
1. http://bit.ly/dGelUt
2. http://bit.ly/fWKXcB
3. http://bit.ly/eTznEb
All of which a google search would have helped you out. This is development section so I understand why you posted this here. But I think you should take a step back since given those three questions could have been found out on your own, shows you have no self motivation yet. Development is a community effort I agree, but there isn't much hand holding. Posting this only showed that your looking for someone to do it for you. That isn't the way to go.
Op= original poster. The other questions I will leave for the true devs
Sent from my Evolution
OP: person who started thread.
Linux distro: not necessary, but many like Ubuntu (I have used Red Hat for a long time)
Tools: Download a kitchen if you just want to build roms, otherwise ask specific questions on what it is you are looking to do and usually someone here can either get you what you want.....or at least point you in the right direction.
And yes, this should have been posted in Q&A

Then maybe he will next time direct his "lazy" questions to the Q&A. Sorry I'm a blunt person. If you want you can look through the 3000 pages on the compile GB thread I posted and look at the tons of advice I give. You can also see me tell people the truth, some people don't like it. Some people get it, understand what I am telling them, and better themselves.
PS. I did answer his questions.

If you have a bad taste in your mouth then your should probably brush your teeth. Then move on. Even the OP understood. Have a great weekend.
Brushed my teeth this morning but thanks for the advice. Seems you always need that last little word in there somewhere which is fine because not offense taken by your comments. Just defending a fellow geekdroider like myself from the devs that think their crap don't stink. Jump off your high horse and work on you rom creations because I don't use em anyway. Thanks buddy have a great weekend and happy droiding.

Lol to up above but I understand where both of you are coming from. OP I wouldn't mind assisting.you if you need some help also. I just made my first rom two days ago took a month but the people on here a very helpful even if they are blunt lol I think they give the best help because they make you.think.about if you seriously want to become a dev the nice ones are also great help I don't think.the community would be as strong.if we didn't have blunt people that the nice people get into it with. They kinda go hand and hand lol they give helpful info when arguing and not even realize.

Getting Started With Android Development

So I'm interested in getting started with development on android, but not really apps for now. I would really like to make my own ROM, and learn more about rooting and finding exploits for rooting. I've looked around, but really haven't been able to find anything on these subjects, especially rooting. I would love to get involved on working towards a root for the evo but I have no clue where to begin. Can someone point me in the right direction?
you can start by posting in the correct forums
just a heads up

I dont know about rooting, but for development, you can start by reading up on java, and learn to use Dsixda's kitchen for basic development, also try to learn from other roms.
Dsixda's kitchen does not make you a developer. It makes you someone who can push buttons and repackage HTC's hardwork.
And yes, there's a forum for this, and this isn't it.

I tried the Q&A and didnt get responses, and I'd really like to work specifically with the EVO because that's the phone i have for testing, so i was trying to find someone else who works with the EVO. Thanks for all the help though
/sarcasm
I don't know where to start about developing but i found this amazing guide to theming. It kinda opened the doors for me.

the funniest part, is that he actually created a new thread for this to try.
Christ, are there any mods left keeping an eye on this forum? The repetition of inane and redundant questions combined with all of the trolls in here lately is growing very tiresome. Commenting in this type of thread is normally against my ways, but if someone starts a thread in the wrong section and someone has already told the OP where the appropriate place for their topic is, ignore the thread and move on. Ragging out a newbie for doing newbie things just makes the XDA community as a whole look like a bunch of asshats. Offer some useful information with a little courtesy so the newest members learn something. Help our community grow by teaching, rather than shrink it by tearing people down. And no, sarcasm and criticism are not effective teaching methods.

New to rooting. Please help.

Hello, I am new to the forums and would really appreciate if someone were to help me root my HTC EVO 4G.
I am running Android 2.3.5. If someone has a root for version 2.3.5, I would really like it if you included a link and instructions.
Thanks!
Seriously bro? Have you even looked into any info on this? Maybe a little Google action? There's a few posts in the sticky section about it but I won't include links, if you can't help yourself why would I want to.

I was just asking for help. I did do some Googling and found nothing for 2.3.5 and other things telling me to stuff that could possibly brick my phone if I messed up. I don't want to risk that. I could understand you not wanting to help me, but I would be nice if you linked me to a thread or something that could help me. Thanks anyway.

Well when tinkering with your phone, things can go wrong and you can end up bricked. Read, read, read, be sure you follow instructions to the dot, and most likely, I repeat MOST LIKELY you will be ok.
But it has to be your decision. Be sure you understand basic concepts, starting with ADB and so on.
If you have an specific question or doubt about a procedure, ask the question on the thread of such process, I don't think opening threads like this one will help much, the thread is the appropriate place to place a question, and it is the place were you most likely will get an answer, without being flamed.
Good luck
