No offense to anyone...and I know root has been out for only a day. But you'd think that a video on how to root on our G2 would be out. It is frustrating to see everyone talk about issues or what not and no one has done a word on a video. Or some kind of better step by step.

Are you stuck at a step? Or have you not attempted? Both of the stickied guides in the development forum are pretty concise. I prefer the rage method.

There are plenty of us that are happy to help with specific problems; most of them have been caught and answered already.
Haven't done a thing yet. I am more visual learner than reading it seems...Idk...just find it rather frustrating that no one has done a vid. Guess I may just rush it tonight

depends what your config is, don't accept the recent OTA's if you haven't yet. www.unrevoked.com is all you need to know for rooting.
Yeah unrevoked was really easy. Now I am a flashaholic, and you will be soon too, lol.
A great place to start is to read the stickies and faq's, rather than posting a whole new post to ask something that's already been asked thousands of times.
Hey, thanks captain obvious.

nice way to burn yourself... but yea check the sticky that says rooting and noob stuff... that might help... imo... lets hope you can read a little better or your gonna end up bricking your phone...
I didn't burn myself. I just like to point out this forum is for help. If yo don't want to help don't waste your time posting.

This forum is actually for general discussion. The Q&A forum is for help. Though I suppose help can qualify as "general discussion" it's still pretty disingenuous to think that this forum is more suited for helping than the Q&A forum is.
One thing I've found is that people that don't want to put any effort into doing research/experimentation themselves (before asking for help) are the ones that tend to end up with broken phones or just really weird phone issues because they simply follow directions without having any understanding of what they're actually doing.
So ultimately you are burning yourself, but not necessarily in quite the same way as implied in one of the above messages.

by burned yourself, he meant that people are even less inclined to help you now, but you are being a child if you expect a person to type the whole process of rooting just for you on this thread because you are too lazy to read the dam stickies wich already explain it far better and in much detail, its on you friend....next time if you want people to help you, dont act like a spoiled brat

Sorry if wrong forum, but didnt see a better choice. Anyone have an inkling if the design will get root access? I like the form factor but root is pretty much non negotiable...
Thanks listers...mods, sorry if I made work for ya moving this thread....

They don't have a forum for it here on XDA yet, but I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
I haven't tried it as I don't have an EVO Design, but root script is in the OP and an RUU (in case if things go wrong) is in the second post
Managed to root my phone last night in a few hours simply by reading through posts on here. Never attempted it before but now having done it, it's safe to say I'd definitely do it again. Although I've not been helped directly, I'm blown away at the length people on here go to to help others. Thank you to all who's posts helped me and to all that will undoubtedly help me in the future.

Welcome Lee,
Congratz on your first root. I'm sure you will enjoy the rich community over here.
Be careful however when attempting untested stuff, and always read the instructions FULLY!
Cheers

AAHK has been removed by the developer himself. However, there are talks on a possible return.
For the time being check post #10 in the following thread:

It was, but you can still link to his webpage.
I did use AAHK yes. An invaluable resource for a noob such as myself no doubt. Gotta start somewhere though.

I also used AAHK for my first root and my first custom rom was randomblame's JellyTime beta 6
One-click root utilities are always the best way to go for beginners, as well as the easiest.

Agreed! AAHK was just amazing. Makes rooting such a simple process =D
But normally you only have to root your Device once and so the aahk opens a big world with a lot to learn.
If it would be harder to root your DHD many would not do it, because they fear they can brick their phone.
I also used the aahk to root and now everything I read about ROMs and Radios etc becomes understandable for me, becaue I can do it in real.

Ok buddy.. All I'm saying is if he took the time he used to make this thread to read stickies, root guides and the q&a section he would be more prepared to mess around with his device with less risk of breaking it.
There is enough good threads with good knowledge that if he spent time in looking would be fine

Guys Come On... he's a noob. Cut him some slack, even though must of us have common sense to do some homework (research) before posting questions like that doesn't mean we have to bully him. Hulk just do some more research and if you find a topic that you don't understand, then post stating what your not understanding.
no clue
no clue, you have no clues
Read / research / read / research
BTW what's good for me not necessarily will be good for you too.

Welcome to the n7 forum, and boy what a welcome...... Unless you are comfortable with sending commands via adb use one of the root kits, they offer more than just rooting.
Not to many roms or mods to choose from, but everybody has that there on taste.
Like offers have said search and read, then ask in those threads if unsure.

When I just got my amaze 4G, I read and followed instructions and still messed up my phone.
Thanks to the member dark nightmare for ‘spoon feeding‘ me step by step and got my phone back to perfection.
That dude is awesome.
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app
wow, what a messed up welcome. this IS the Q&A section. We all have been new, most of us has messed up, even following directions.
So, Did your N7 arrive yet?
CleanRom is one of my favorites when I feel like running a custom ROM. Im back to 4.2.1 at the moment.
I think WUG's toolkit is pretty easy for a beginner.
If you really want to play though, learn how to use adb. It may be a learning curve for some, but its really easy and fast.
Of course, search is always your friend, but most of us will still be here to help out if you need it!
Enjoy the Nexus, its a blast!
Patience people .he is a virgin !!!!
Welcome to xda Nexus 7 forum and (i guess ) Newbie Target practice Zone.
I think the biggest advice anyone can give you. Is something people do not often say. Before you flash unlock root or change one app on your device. Learn the STEPS TO GO BACK. Make all the necessary backups. Follow all instructions. But only after you understand what they are doing to your device. Read The forums about the different roms . Especially user responses and comments on the different roms.
Most of all Learn your device . Learn recoverys and basic fast-boot and adb..
Backup Backup and know how to use your backup...
NOT TO MENTION BACKUP
again welcome to the fourm and please Backup read re read.. then think before you flash.

He's right. What's good for some may not be good for others. I'll suggest a few things. Keep in mind these are what I prefer:
Mskips Toolkit. I love it. User friendly and easy to navigate even if you're not familiar with rooting. Offers an all in one option (option 8) that unlocks the bootloader, roots, installs busy box, installs your choice of custom recovery, and will recommend the 3.34 boot loader instead of using the built in supplied by Google. 3.34 keeps root more reliably than others for some. Its compatible with all versions, it will buy you dinner, and kiss you goodnight.
Again, my preference but I've had nothing but success with Mskips work.
