Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm sorry if this is a repost, but I was up until 3AM last night trying to figure this out and had no luck.
Yesterday I managed to root my girlfriends G1 and install a custom rom onto it. I had no experience with it before, but managed to do the whole process fairly easily. After using her phone as a guinnea pig, I decided to look up how to root my sprint hero. Heres where things get difficult. Nothing seems to be working :/ I think its because I updated the firmware a couple days ago to 2.1(eclair I think). Is it still possible to root the phone, possibly via downgrade? Every article I'm finding on how to do it is from january or so, so something recent would be greatly appreciated. I'm a complete noob to all of this, and any help is great.
follow the directions here

Hello, i am looking for help to find out what i need to set up/have in order to flash a custom rom.
All i have is stock G2 with the latest update, phone model is LG-D802, android version is 4.4.2 and it not rooted.
I know first off i need to root the damn thing, but if any of you could point out some kind of post or guide with some kind of step by step info of how to root and after that how to continue with a flash of rom that would be awesome.
I`ve spend some time around the forum looking for such post but couldnt find one, and i am kinda scared to do this on my own since i`ve soft bricked a lot of my old devices.

Click to expand...

easiest method, is to use the KDZ method (huge thread on it here) to get back to jelly bean, then download towleroot. one click root.
So I was running MOAR for a while, took me forever to get it up and going, and that was early last year when I set it up....
All the bookmarked threads I have now are closed and have dead links.... and I've had to start over at least 5 times just to get to ne9.
I was able to get to NE9 with root, but now am having some trouble getting back to 5.0
Could someone point me towards a more current guide or how-to?
Also since its been so long, any suggestions for a ROM would be greatly appreciated - hoping to get xposed working on it as well.
Thanks and sorry for the ignorance!
I ve the unlocked version and it's rooted and everything. I just need help on getting my mobile hotspot to work. Somebody help!
Hi guys! My Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 is still running NE9 with Towelroot. I've avoided upgrading for a long time, but I'm ready to pull the trigger and finally get Lollipop. I'd like to keep root is possible. I've searched a lot of forums, but can't find anything about upgrading from a version this old. Most instructions involve "downgrading" to NE9, but I'm unsure if it would be the same for a phone that has never been upgraded past NE9. I just don't want to brick this phone because I love it! What should I even be upgrading to at this point? XDA has always been such a helpful resource in the past, I'm hoping to get some love on this. Thanks!
Hey folks. I was on rooted pb1 custom rom with unlocked bootloader. Ran into some issues, created a mess, and had to Odin back to rooted 4.4.4 ni2. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to get back to rooted 5.0 pb1 on my own, and am getting confused. Seems like a lot of folks are bailing on this device, but I can't afford to yet. Can someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated.
Been looking at many old threads and finding a lot of dead download links. Can anyone just help me get started?
Figured this out a while ago, if mod wants to delete
Hey guys,
Want to wipe my phone fresh since I'm running out of space. My phone has been telling me for months that I have an update, but I haven't updated because I've been told on here never to do OTA updates.
I tried looking around for a stock rooted ROM for this like I've flashed for other versions, but I can't much if any info on the new PL1 update. Usually, someone posts a de-knoxed, rooted version of the software. Is that around or what should I do?
How should I do the update? If I download it from sammobile and flashed it, will that screw up my phone?
Edit: TBH, it's been a while since I've done this and have forgotten the right terminology. I'm not sure if my phone is "unlocked," but I have Philz Touch recovery on it, definitely rooted, and whatever else is built into those modified stock ROMs. Just want to wipe, update, and keep my functionality without bricking or something, since I need this thing working. I can't seem to find a straightforward post on here, and I'm just so busy with school I feel like I can't catch up and relearn all this stuff again.
Thanks for the help
