I have Froyo on a non rooted nexus is here a way to unlock and root it it I have been trying but it will not recognize the bootloader. please help .
Thank You

You can unlock it using fastboot, just like you could in 2.1, as far as I know.
From there, flash a different recovery, then use something like this quick rooter:

First of all, wrong forum.
Second of all, you're smart enough to figure out how to put an official firmware that's not released yet on your phone. So please use the search or read the forum stickies.

First of all I did not asked to be flamed just needing help If I made a mistake I am sorry but I thought this was a friendly helpful community or are you the bad apple ?

If you read the forum more, you'll find threads similar to this one, if you don't search no one will help you, especially for this very easy question you're asking.
1. Click on the Nexus One Q&A sub forum, that forum is for asking questions and getting answers.
2. There's a sticky, 3rd one down, it's titled "***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"". Click that, you should get to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618768
3. Right there on top, 2nd link is "Root the Nexus one Tutorial" with the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858 Click it.
4. Follow to the directions. If you have issues, ask in that thread.
Helpful enough? LOL

ty very much

Just rooted my phone for the first time.

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.

Rooting

Hi
This is my 1st post in this forums and I find this word often "rooting". What is rooting? Sorry for the noob question but I really would like to know the real meaning to it
Please no stupid remarks, I already told you that I'm a newbie here and trying to learn. I just need info. Thanks for the helpers in advance

Why? I just made a guide because WojtasXda still not posted how to flash!

do you think what i don't written this? admin deleted this is. he said to me:
Hi,
After some more digging, it looks like some of your other threads were also the work of other developers. It is important that if you are going to post work from other people that you obtain their permission first. You need to be especially careful because most things are covered by some sort of copyright or license and you may get yourself or xda into trouble by posting it. If you are posting work that is not your own, you should post it into the general forums, the development forums are typically reserved for things that people have made themselves...and please only post things a single time. Posting the same content multiple times makes things harder for people to find and for you to manage. This is especially true if certain bugs, or bug fixes end up in only one of your duplicate threads.
Thanks!

He has a reason. Wait for official release.

How can i root my i9505 S4 Stock , with 4.4.2 version ?

As the title says.
I made a few try outs with tutorial with NO HELP.
Towel (Won't work)
Kingo (Won't work)
CF-AUTO CHAINFIRE (The download section of the site is down,and you can't download the .apk that it wants to flash it via ODIN).
So any new other method ?
Thank you

Spoken by the guy who didn't search before posting, as this entire thread could have been avoided simply by using your eyes and looking.

Are you here all crazy ? I tried to search everything and NONE link was working,and the methods were un-clear most of the threads were dead links,and also some of them were "wrong" so i made the best choice to open a new thread.
Any problem with that ? Do you now what "forum" word means ?Thank you for your time but don't answer if you think something rather than that.

Hi mate
Lots of people here including me offered you our help but you did not take the time to read , search or look out for the solution you need, the idea in all these “posts or forums” is to get feedback from other users, keeping the thread alive is the OP responsibility, keep it alive with valuable inputs, precise questions and not opening multiple threads filling the forum with lots of useless threads, that offer no information to other members who responsibly use the search function.
The threads i offered you are guides and sticky threads
Regards

Okay let's start again from the beggining.
I said on the early start of my thread which things or threads ARE NOT WORKING.
Let's move on,
nunein suggested to a towel root, which i said earlier had a dead link,so I COULDN'T done it.So not working for me.
Let's move on,
Next is Strephon Alkhalikoi which answered that i am blind and i didn't see the link which was there .That wasn't working before.
Let's move on,
Once again.
Then it's Kushan02 , that i giving me a thread with a 404 thread error. Which on the start was working but afterwards was moved.
Then in conclusion , there WAS a lot of answers for me to help me out,which i had ALREADY SEARCHED,and weren't working, so in conclusion i had to find another way out to root my phone.
That's why i tried to open this thread and ask for more opinions and ways,now that i have reported all the threads with the dead links or PM'ed the thread starter for broken links,everything are working good and well, and i have finally rooted my phone via the "re-uploaded" way of TowelRoot & Odin.
Thank you and a happy new year to all with less judgement. :fingers-crossed:
