Hey guys, I'm here as a guest in your forums.
Maybe you've seen me in the Galaxy S5 forums or more recently in the OnePlus One forums, maybe not. Either way hello. So I know enough to get by as far as ADB, sideloading, rooting, loading ROMs, firmware, etc. Anyways, I don't know much about the ZF2 but his is in a bootloop and I need the fastest, easiest way to get it from bootloop with no bootloader on it whatsoever, to stock. So who's got the goods? I've recently downloaded the toolkit from the General forum, but it requires me to have a bootloader to access any functionality. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Never mind, I found some advice on the dev forum. Take it easy guys!

hello everyone,
i recently purchased my first smart phone about a week ago and am slowly starting to tweek it to my likings.
sadly im not too sure on how to achieve certain things on the device but if anyone can show me a link on how to unlock the gps on my phone i would greatly appreciate it.
i have a friend who told me about this place and also mentioned it would be wise to also have my stock rom saved to my computer and my stock radio just in case the new rom screws my phone up.
anyways its an alltel htc touch 6900 so if anyone can help me out i would greatly appreciate it

okay thanks very much orb3000, i read the wiki and it said it will unlock the gps but said that it would run off alltels nav and charges 9 bucks a month, so what im wondering is if i ran the updated rom and unlocked the gps could i use a different gps app and not have to pay the gps fee?? or will that still require a different rom? thnks

Ok, ok, ok.. So many of you are instantly going to jump on the new guy because this thread has probably been posted at least a million times today. Thing is, trying to find an explanation, an easy explanation, of how to root my HTC Hero G3, without using developers lingo is nigh on impossible. Would someone have mercy and please, for the sake of the Gods and my sanity.. HELP ME ROOT ME BLOODY PHONE??? Please
What do I need to download?
Can I still use the android operatin system after gaining root access or do I have to install a custom ROM?
Many many thanks in advance for any help or advice given.

Firstly its called the HTC Hero, the G2 is the T-Mobile branding not G3, why don't you go in the Hero section then the rom development sub forum, guides at the top in the wiki in plain english...
Advice appreciated man, I kinda thought I'd get someone telling me that. Thing is, I tried all three of the rooting guides up there and none of them work. Checked the USB Debugging box.. then windows searches for ADB, then my problems begin.
Hi, I am a noob at this but after looking around on the net for a day, I'm already confused...
OK, here's the situation, its fairly simple... I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (UK EE) but want to unlock it.
It is running Android 4.1.2 and therefore "The Trick" doesn't work as it is missing the final option...
1) I have therefore read that I can downgrade it to 4.1.1 and then use the trick...
2) or I could "Root" it....
Which of these is most straight forward. I don't mind Rooting it cos I gather it's not THAT risky...
So far, I've downloaded Odin but don't know what to do with it....I also just want to use Stock ROM and don't know where I can get that... there are too many other ROMs to choose so just want to keep it simple.
Please can someone help?? I realise other people may have asked this question before, so therefore if someone could point me in the right direction and show me a simple and easy to follow guide, I would be most grateful.:good:
Many Thanks in advance!

Wrong forum. Ask your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
Reddit user nemopsp suggested this idea on /r/galaxynote4 and I wanted to know if this was actually possible. Sorry if I messed up somewhere somehow either in posting this or my understanding of Android as this is my first Android device and I've been lurking here for a little while but I just recently made an account.
I'm looking for a guide that can help me Root and but a custom ROM on my Pixel XL? I've tried doing it and I get stuck and BOOT loop, the whole thing is really confusting and I can't find a guide to help me get it done? can someone help? I'm old and getting stupid I guess.

Sorry, cannot help with that.
It's in the "Guides, News, and Discussion" section. If you're having difficulties finding a straight forward guide listed on XDA, perhaps it is in your best interest not to customize at the moment in case you run into an issue and then end up not having a phone for hours to days due to not being able to find an answer.
Just looking out for you.

I too could not find a guide specifically on creating a ROM for the Pixel XL. I even searched, I was going to post a link for OP. Maybe the google AOSP page might help. It sucks that CyanogenMod is no longer around. They used to have good guides.
Here is a link the the AOSP tutorial. (not pixel XL specific) https://source.android.com/source/initializing
You will also need the vendor and driver file from https://developers.google.com/android/drivers
First - make sure your bootloader is unlocked - that should be an easy enough guide to find
then TWRP
then find a rom and read through the opening post and the recent ones.
though I'm sure i've found guides in general here for the pixel.
it IS a different beast to regular though. so get familiar with the sticky guides etc on the forum pages
