Hi there, I was curious if there was anyone out there that is willing to help me root my hd2 and get android on it. I've been on youtube and theunlockr.com and nothing seems to work always getting the rainbow screen. So if there is anyone out there that can give me a step by step procedure and walk me thru this I'd appreciate it. Its amazing how easily I did the G1 and now I don't even understand anything about the HD2
Thanks,
Mighty
There is a thread stickied at the top of the forum you posted in giving you explicit instructions on how to do this. You don't even have to search. It is just there and doesn't move.
I would suggest reading it thoroughly, and then if you still have questions simply read it again. It is broken down step by step for you. Not trying to flame you, but pointing you to the easy answer.

Ok I don't have the files but I thought it would be a good thread for all the "Wing" users. So if you have the Unbricking files and maybe a guide either post it here and maybe they will sticky it or make your own thread. if you think it's a good Idea then vote....Oh and I know I call no shots here but I figured this was a best way to let people know about this"gulp" I hope I don't get flamed for this oh btw I myself am not requesting help *Yet* But I read a few posts....I mean alot of posts about Bricking and help me do this or help me unbrick that and I also think that itje and alot of other members would Enjoy not being harassed to help some random person out. But these are just my thoughts
bricking your phone is too easy to fix. I personally did not know what i was doing when i tried a different rom, and bricked my phone but it was a fool proof way to unbrick it.. all you have to do if put your phone in bootleger mode and run the original rom from your computer... unbricking for dummies is all it is
I understand that lol it is easier then the psp but I mean for a person that doesn't know anything about this they would ask "Where do I go to Get that file?" This is a site I found on this board and sorry I don't remember who posted it if not I would give credit CLICK HERE FOR OFFICIAL RUU UPGRADES and if your on vista this can help...Oh btw I also don't know who posted it or else I would give credit IF YOU ARE USING VISTA CHECK HERE FOR HELP
also THANKS to whoever posted those links and I am just posting them here to help
With all due respect, the unbricking process is explained in the "Newbs guide to modding" thread stickied to this forum, and there is a link provided to the stock RUU.
Cheers!

Yes and that is where I looked for my information but I can imagine that if somebody bricks their phone they would panic and wouldn't think straight so they wouldn't look into modding it more hence they wouldn't search "Newbs guide to modding" they would search "Brick","Unbrick" but since it is mentioned in here now *Thanks to you* they will be redirected to that thread and find their answer so YAY for all ,,,,No more harrasment to senior members and no more bricked phones to ....Noobs
Ok, first off i'll say i don't have much android knowledge. I did successfully root it following a video. I now have one click lag fix installed. Now, someone please answer these for me
1. Now that its already rooted successfully, is bricking still possible? or is that only something that happens during trying to root.
2. What is a good way to backup everything on my phone? and where do i find it?
3. What are cool apps or widgets to have that can only be used on a rooted phone?
4. Lastly, will someone point me in the direction of a manual or instructions on how to install custom roms and how to get froyo.
Thanks!!
No offense, but did you try searching the forums prior to posting this? All of these questions have been asked and answered many, many times already.
yeah but id really like them answered how i asked them that way i don't **** my phone up because i don't have the most knowledge, i appreciate it though. If you don't mind would you provide some links for me please?
Look at the sticky on the top of the page.
The sticky literally answers your questions in that order. No joke.
And the Dev section has a similar sticky in it when you are good and ready.

Hi there. I have a Galaxy Tab that I use strictly for testing some websites. I bought it without any kind of data plan or anything from AT&T - strictly wifi. In the rest of my life I'm mostly an iOS user, so I'm not familiar with the inner voodoo of Android at all.
I just want to update my Galaxy Tab from 2.2 to 2.3. Googling "how to update galaxy tab to 2.3" yields all kinds of insanity about flashing and rooting. I don't even know what this stuff means.
I'll appreciate any patient, step-by-step advice to get me down the road a bit. Appreciate the help in advance.
Dl and flash overcome. Follow instructions in the thread

Start by reading the sticky threads in each section....
Then head into the development section and find a ROM that is appropriate for your version of tab.
Follow the instructions in the thread.
Profit??
Any questions, please search thouroughly using as descriptive a query as possible, google is your friend, xda search is a tempremental beast.
If you still cant find an answer, head over to the Q&A section....
Good luck & Happy flashing.
i.have been going through the forum looking for the rooting instructions for the leo. if someone could point me in the right directions I would appreciate it.

See the two guides in my sig about the HD2. First read the guide to the terms then read the Android installation guide. You can't 'root' an HD2. Please search before posting next time.

Thank you for your response.
Would it be possible to help people without calling them stupid. And as I stated I did search and nowhere did I find it can't be rooted. Now that I know that and have the thread, again thank you.

Where did I call you stupid? If you'd searched well, you'd have easily found that all HD2 Android ROMs come rooted as stock, and that you can't 'root' Windows Mobile. I refuse to believe that you did a proper search before posting, because literally 10 seconds of SEARCHING gave me this thread, in which it is quite clearly stated in the fifth post that all Android ROMs come pre-rooted. Now I consider you to be stupid for saying that I originally called you stupid when I didn't call you stupid.
You signature
I searched for "rooting" I also looked for titles with Rooting in the stickies and didn't see it. I found plenty of roms but not the typical rooting thread in the stickies. Now I know why. It doesn't need rooting.
Something more helpful would be a stating the reason you can't find "rooting" instructions is it is not typical of these devices and doesn't require it. Please see this thread (link) for instructions on installing roms. Enjoy.
That's how decent understanding adult humans communicate. Not what is in your signature.
If you couldn't find that guide (either through searching via forum search or even browsing the NAND Dev stickies) then you are indeed an idiot, which is why I put it in my sig. If you really want, I'll remove it. This phone comes with WinMo, how did you expect to root it when it doesn't have Android on it? I can't root a sat nav or a toaster, how can I root a WinMo phone when it doesn't have Android? It's fairly simple logic. Finally, if you can't handle the word 'stupid' you really shouldn't be on the internet.
Leave it. It will warn others to what they are dealing with.
Pretty tired of my stock z981. I've been looking into rooting my device. I've found threads. But they point me into too many directions. Also, just to clarify, I would be rooting for the first time.
I found this thread, which has the steps.
androidforums.com/threads/new-root-method-for-z981-zmax-pro.1284305/#post-7792976
(I was going to join the discord posted in the thread, but the link/invite is expired. :| )
I need someone to walk me through the process at an elementary level, since I'm new to all this. Plus, I don't want to be to hasty and end up obliterating my phone.
I managed to turn on usb debugging. But that's as far as I got..
Seems no one answers this particular forum. My post has 33 views and not
one answer .
Sorry I couldn't be of any help, GLTY.

Use this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-zmax/how-to/zmax-pro-free-twrp-root-method-t3767821
and go to page 7 or 8 where PowerUser64 gives a link to an excellent resource.
That should give you root access
