Hello,
I've just ordered a Note 7, it should be here in the next couple of days (hopefully). I've been looking for a good guide to root the phone as I want to get it rooted before I start installing all my stuff on it. I really don't want to make the same mistake I made with my last phone and have to reinstall everything after rooting!
I've been looking and can't find a guide anywhere. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good one. I'm a bit of noob so need something fairly comprehensive.
Thanks,
Callum
You haven't found a guide because there isn't a method yet.

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.
Just bought the G2 today. Love everything about it so far. Ive looked through the stickies and cant seem to find the proper rooting method for my device. I dont have a computer at the moment. I would like to perma root it, flash clockwork and maybe try some roms. Im used to rooting i used to have the evo and rooted it with the pcimg. Zips so im not brand new to this. If someone could please give me a recap on things i should know or point me in the right direction i would much appreciate it thank you.
Well, you could try the Q&A section =p but you need a computer as far as I know

So I'm going to be honest, we're completely lost here on how we're supposed to get this guy unlocked/rooted. There are no straightforward guides for the new user on how to do this.
Where do I even start? I download a toolkit? Then what?
All these supposed guides or for advanced users.
Do I unlock FIRST or roll back drivers
I always recommend reading up quite a bit before you start rooting and flashing roms, I read up for several days before I began. Also it can be addictive having a rooted phone.

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!

use the search function, this has been asked and answered many times. The third post in the "general" section is "how to, unlock bootloader, root and flash a custom rom. read it thoroughly and follow instructions to the letter. 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
The way this forum was set up is completely confusing, like is the general 7" screen forum also for KF2? I'm looking to root and install google play store on my kindle fire 2 2nd gen year 2012. System version is 10.5.1. I've read that I may have downgrade my firmware version but can't find the best guide to do so since the rooting instructions get included with other devices in the same category. so I'm a bit worried that I may not use the best way to not brick my device since there's not a guide I've found specifically for KF2.
I've read through stickys and know that my version has a better security with the bootloaders and that I probably need to downgrade so I don't permanently brick my KF2.
If anyone knows a good guide for me with links to that guide it would be definitely appreciated. Just want to follow the best instructions so I don't have to worry about bricking my device. Thanks!
Well this forum seems dead. But I'll bump anyway.
