Hello,
Let me just mention that last time I rooted a phone was at least 6 years ago (probably more) and I've been using the device ever since, so please excuse my totally opportunistic question.
I got myself ONE M8S some few months ago and have no clue how to root it?
Is it any different from M8? How to unlock bootloader? Where are the ROMs and custom recoveries? I can't find nothing for that phone.
I also have very vague idea of what I'm trying to do anyway.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
FIgured it out, nevermind and sorry for asking stupid questions.

Please Please someone help me! First off, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum but i figured it would be the best place to get help. I just got an EVO a couple of weeks ago (came from an iPhone 4). I understand that root is almost like jailbreaking. I'm trying to update my phone with a new rom but evidently it can't be done without being rooted. I've searched and searched to be able to find a way to root the new sprint update 3.70.651.1 but i just cant find it! can some one PLEASE HELP! I've tried unrevoked 3 but to no luck...

The best place to get help is in the correct forum. There are lots of grumpy people here who would take the time to bust on you for posting in the wrong section, tell you to use the search button or post a link to lmgtfy.com.
Fortunately I'm still noob enough not to do that. Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and see if that helps you.
This one is also a good one to try:

You gots to know what you are doing. Read thoroughly!
i would for sure use the one suggested by atapia984. it is a little harder, but it is a lot less risky in the long run. also, rooting is not too much like jailbreaking, mostly because you can do everything you can with a jailbroken iphone on an evo without any hacking at all. rooting lets you actually replace the phone's system (and other partitions) with custom roms made by the talented devs here at the xda. you also have total control over hardware of the phone. if you are really stuck on the root tutorial, i might be able to help you out, or even give you a walkthrough if you are too afraid of nuking your precious evo.
Hi Everyone, I am extremely new to rooting phones but I am very interested in rooting my phone. I have a verizon Samsung Galaxy note 2, SCH-I605 running 4.3,with build number VRUEMJ9 , I have been all over the place trying to get as much info as possible before trying anything because I am afraid of bricking my phone. I have read that the bootloader cant be unlocked so that means I cant install CWM. I was interested in trying the saferoot root method. I have been searching the forum like crazy but it just keeps confusing me more. I understand that since the bootloader is locked that I cant install custom ROMS, And once you root a phone can you turn it back? I guess if anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it, or even point me in the right direction of where I can learn more.Thanks alot in advance guys. Hope everyone is having a good day..
Yours is a Verizon Note 2... which is different from the international N7100.
Check out http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605/ and see if it helps.
This is where many users have been going to learn to root their device since Galaxy S2 times.

Lol thanks I didn't even realize I posted in the wrong forum
Hello. I'm very new here, and I have a problem, and I'm desperate.
I rooted and unlocked my HTC One (M8) on Sunday. The reason? I wanted one stupid boot animation, that's all I wanted. I had no idea what "rooting" it and all that did, all I knew is that I had to do it to get my own animation. Not to say I didn't do my research. I searched lots and lots, reading a lot of articles and everything.
Now, it's rooted and unlocked, using SuperSU and TWRP (I think that's the right info, like I said I'm new to this). I've been trying for two days now to get that stupid animation to work, but to no avail. I've looked at it all.
Now here's my actual problem. Now knowing that I won't get the animation to work (I'm done with trying) I started to panic. I started realizing my warranty is gone, and that I'm dead if anything happens to it. I don't want that. I need it. I need help. It's lame, but I'm scared.
So my question is, is there any way to unroot and lock it? I just want everything back to stock. I want it how I got it. Please help. If there isn't a way, I guess I'll learn from my mistakes. But if there is a way, please help me out. I beg of you. I'd be more than willing to answer questions if you have any pertaining to my problem. Yes, I know I shouldn't have done all this, especially since I have no knowledge of it, but that all doesn't matter now. It's done and I need help. Step by step would be optimal, as, again, I'm new to all of this and don't really understand any of it.
Edit: Not sure if it's vital information, but I used the Sakitech step by step guide on how to root the HTC One (M8). I can't post the link, but it's the first video when you YouTube how to root it.

How to Unroot your HTC One, and Relock the Bootlo…: http://youtu.be/sGdY2ehJMvk
Hey, I know this is probably a common question, but I've searched the web for hours and can't find any up to date information, and if it is up to date, it's for an at&t phone. I live in the UK so have an international one x, rendering (i assume from the information I've gathered) each guide useless!?
All I'm looking to do is root the phone and flash arhd to it, but I'm really really struggling. I was following the arhd guide on here originally, but I havnt rooted my phone, so can't get very far, nowhere at all actually!
And aside from that, I'm worried incase I somehow brick it by putting old software on it? I wouldn't say I'm a noobie, but I'm struggling to do this, can anyone please point me in the direction of an up to date guide on how to root, and then flash arhd to it?
Sorry, and thanks!

And chill out, it is harder than you think to brick the one x. follow the link>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904
I bought a used lgg3 running 5.0.1 a few weeks ago and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix the root on it. I'm not a complete noob, but im not also the most experienced in rooting.
I purchased it for the sole intention of Pokemon Go (little did i know they would shut out root... -.-)
SO, my main question is...
whats the best way to go about fixing this thing without bricking it or screwing it up any further?
There was no SU, no busybox, no anything, but it is rooted, just somehow screwed up. the kid mentioned kingroot, but he said thats all he knows.
Any other information you may need, just let me know and ill get back asap!
I appreciate any help i can get

Flash the stock rom from either here on XDA or with the actual LG updater.
