FOR NOOBS LIKE ME. FOR NOOBS LIKE ME FOR NOOBS LIKE ME. TOO MANY OPTIONS FOR ROOTING YOUR I9100G?
SCROLL DOWN TO AFTER SECOND PARAGRAPH IF YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SNIGGER.
HOW IS SOMEONE LIKE ME, Who wants to take over the world, but sometimes forgets to breathe slow enough, how is someone like me going to ROOT my phone?
ROOT MY PHONE!!! What is that? I mean i Know it sounds cool, makes me a G, and all that. But how do I do that ..... Without making a fool of myself, Considering i have a SAMSUNG GT-I9100G
THATS RIGHT.... A I9100G. what everyone considers the ugly duckling of the Galaxy range of phones. Its not though. its the ugly duckling. maybe abit pale (mines the white one) but my no means ugly.
ANYWAY. IF you are like me, and can read faster than lois lane writes, then you have probably read the TONNES of information worth its weight in gold on this site. There is enough information here to build a country, let alone a ROM.
Take it from me, some 9 year old somewhere, is going to be a nobel peace prize winner someday and all-round superstar, due to his reading and research on this site. he will walk on water and have an army of andriodians (humans who have rooted their brain and let the Android rom take over their decisions).
But i am not him. I am 27 and have a belly. And wonky teeth. and i like chicken burgers way too much. way too much. TOO TOO MUCH. (Five minutes later, after a chicken burger)... Anyway... the keywords here are NOOB . I9100G .ICE-CREAM SANDWICH ( ICS ). ODIN . HEIMDALL . ROOT . CWM . CYNOGEN . KERNEL . ROM .
You know, alot of people on this site have put in alot of hard work and there is so much information here, valuable information. If you read these posts properly, you cannot go wrong. the difficulty lies in the options. and if you are someone like me, with a IQ built on a diet of chicken burgers and cola... then options are meant to take 5 minutes to decide, may take 5 lightyears ( honestly, i am actually odins father. Odin, father of Thor).
But since Ice cream sandwich has come out..... and since the I9100G is still not very well assimilated in the rooting world ( however the XDA boys , are leaps and bounds ahead of their peers, with help i'm sure from the geniuses at SAMMOBILE). SO i have decided to put on my ' I ALSO KNOW SOMETHING!!!' Hat on, and with it, give my 2 cents in the department of getting the best out of your gt I9100G. YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER, SEXIER. WHAT TO DO?
A. A KERNEL IS WHAT TALKS TO YOUR HARDWARE, AND TELLS IT HOW TO SHAKE ITS ASS. ITS SITS IN BETWEEN THE HARDWARE AND THE ALL THE OTHER SOFTWARE ON THE PHONE: THE APPS, THE OPERATING SOFTWARE (ROM)
B. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE R.O.M IS THE OPERATING SOFTWARE, AND USUALLY THE ONE THAT COMES WITH THE PHONE IS BLOATED AND HAS UNNECESSARY STUFF SLOWING IT DOWN, AS WELL AS NOT BEING TWEAKED FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE.
C. ICE CREAM SANDWICH IS THE LATEST ROM FOR THE SAMSUNG I9100G AS IT IS FOR MANY OTHER PHONES. SO ITS WHAT WE ALL WANT NOW. EVEN THOUGH MANY MAY CORRECTLY ARGUE THAT GINGERBREAD ( THE OLDER ROM) CURRENTLY FUNCTIONS BETTER.
D. A CUSTOM ROM OR A CUSTOM KERNEL ARE BOTH MANUFACTURED BY REALLLY SMART PEOPLE ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES, BUT I DONT GO TO OTHER SITES. THEY USE COMPONENTS FROM THE ORIGINAL ROMS ( KNOWN AS STOCK ROMS) AS WELL AS THEIR OWN PRODUCTIONS, WITH SOME HOT SAUCE AND SOME ICE CREAM..... ( NEED A CHICKEN BURGER SOON).. THESE GUYS MAKE LIFE BETTER.
E. TO ROOT YOUR PHONE IS THE PROCESS IN WHICH YOU GET TO BE ABLE TO ALTER THE KERNEL, THE ROM, AND MORE I SUPPOSE, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU KNOW.
F. AN IDIOT IS ME. STUCK IN TIME FOR TOO LONG, NOW HE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING MODERN OR RELEVANT. BUT HE WILL KNOW.
SO. IF YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR I9100G, READ THIS ROUGH GUIDE, THEN READ UP ON EVERYTHING I HAVE READ UP MYSELF UPON ( SEE THE REFERENCES AT THE BOTTOM) THEN, MAYBE YOU CAN COME BACK HERE IF YOU NEED TO CUT OUT OPTIONS.
BUT I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY MISTAKES OR DAMAGED CAUSED BY WHATEVER YOU DO. I AM MERELY A VESSEL SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE I'VE PICKED UP ON THIS SITE. YOU STILL GOTTA READ SOME OTHER STUFF. LIKE eg.. i've said wipe the dalvik cache, but i havent said how. but its here on this site, just like everything else i've written.
******FIRST OF ALL , AND THIS HAS TO BE IN CAPITALS:::: THERE IS A BUG THAT AFFECTS MANY SAMSUNG PHONES, THAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN DISCOVERED, THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR PHONE, IF YOU USE A DODGY KERNEL. SO I SUGGEST YOU ONLY USE STUFF THATS SAYS CWM AND CYNOGEN. I AM ONLY SAYING THAT COS ITS WHAT I'VE LEARNT ON THIS SITE.
THESE ARE THE STEPS TO ROOT YOUR PHONE ( IT HAS TO BE THE I9100G. ONLY THE G. AND NUTHIN ELSE. 'AINT NUTHIN BUT A G THING BABY').**********
*********BACK UP YOUR PHONE******
MAKE SURE YOU ALREADY HAVE KIES. it ensures your pc has the right drivers for the phone. then before you start ANYTHING, make sure kies is switched off. (check in task manager, all its processes should not be running).
1. DOWNLOAD ODIN AND INSTALL HIM. BE NICE.
2. DOWNLOAD THE GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 FILE. ITS A .TAR FILE. ( I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, BUT ITS SOME GOOD STUFF)
3. DOWNLOAD THE cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-i9100g ROM ZIP FILE, OR THE LATEST ONE AVAILABLE ( I WARN YOU THIS IS A AWESOME ROM. AND I NEVER USE THE WORD AWESOME)
4. DOWNLOAD THE gapps-ics-20120317-signed GOOGLE PLAY ZIP FILE. YOU NEED IT FOR GOOGLE PLAY.
5. ORDER A CHICKEN BURGER.
6. COPY THE cm-9-20120615-NIGHTLY-i9100g FILE AND THE gapps-ics-20120317-signed FILE TO YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD.
7. SWITCH OFF YOUR PHONE ( MAKE SURE IT HAS ATLEAST 70% BATTERY, OTHERWISE YOUR NOT A NOOB, JUST A JACKASS). LEAVE IT OFF. FOR NOW.
8. OPEN ODIN ON YOUR PC, AND THEN CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "PDA". IT WILL ASK YOU TO CHOOSE A FILE, CHOOSE THE GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 . MAKE SURE THE CHECK BOX NEXT TO THE "PDA" BUTTON IS CHECKED. AS WELL AS THAT, IN THE TOP LEFT QUADRANT OF THE ODIN, THERE ARE OTHER BOXES TO BE TICKED. MAKE SURE ONLY ONLY ONLY "Auto-reboot" and " F-reset Time " ARE THE ONLY OTHER BOXES TICKED. SO THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL OF 3 BOXES TICKED, THATS IT. NO MORE.
9. NOW SWITCH YOUR PHONE ON IN THE SPECIAL MODE WHERE YOU HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, AND THE MENU BUTTON AND THEN PRESS THE POWER ON BUTTON. IT WILL ASK YOU A QUESTION. I WOULD ANSWER BY PRESSING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON. ONCE YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO A SPECIFIC SCREEN.
10.NOW PLUG IN YOUR PHONE TO YOUR PC, AND THEN LOOK AT THE ODIN PROGRAM. IN THE TOP LEFT QAUDRANT, THERE IS A AREA THAT SAYS ID:COM. UNDER IT THE AREA SHOULD BE YELLOW NOW.
11.PRESS START ON ODIN. IT SHOULD DO ITS THING........ THEN YOU ARE ROOTED.. SO NOW, YOUR kernel IS A GENUIS'S KERNEL, NOT THE NORMAL ONE. AND IT SHOULD START UP IN CLOCKWORK MODE (SOMETHING SPECIAL).
12.FROM THERE , CHOOSE THE " GET SOMETHING" FROM ZIP OPTION, AND SELECT YOUR CUSTOM ROM.... IT WILL LOAD IT UP. SICKKK MOVE!!!! NOW YOU HAVE A ROM FROM THE FUTURE.
13. DO THE SAME ZIP PROCESS WITH THE GOOGLE APP FILE. SICK HOMIE!!!.... NOW CHOOSE WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET. THEN WIPE THE DALVIK CHACHE.
BELLISIMO!!!!! C'EST BONNE!!!!!!! MAMBO MAZURI!!!!
NOW YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A G!!!!!!
SO SO SO SO EASY.
I HAVE PURPOSELY NOT GIVEN YOU THE FILE LINKS FOR 3 REASONS. 1. THEY ARE NOT MINE TO GIVE. 2. THEY ARE ALL OVER THIS SITE, SO WHERE YOU GET THEM THERE IS MORE KNOWLEDGE. 3. I DONT KNOW HOW. REALLY I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT FORUM POSTING AND OTHER INTERNETINGS... I AM ACTUALLY INTO HARDWARE.
THIS IS JUST THE SIMPLEST AND FOR ME THE SAFEST WAY TO MAKE MY PHONE A SUPER PHONE. SINCE ICS CAME OUT, I FOUND IT HARD TO CHOOSE WHICH ROM AND KERNEL AND WHY. I ONLY HAD MY PHONE 2 MONTHS BEFORE THAT. SO I WAS AND STILL AM A NOOB . I'M A NOOB. NOOB. NOOB IS ME. SO THIS IS A GENERAL ROUGH SMOOTHISH GUIDE AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE THE BEST MODDING RECIPE FOR THE I9100G AT THE MOMENT. THINGS CHANGE. ASK KIM KARDASHIAN.
SO I HAVE COMPACTED MY MANY HOURS OF READING, JUST SO YOU KNOW WHERE TO START...
EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT ROOTING MY PHONE I HAVE LEARNT FROM READING ON THIS SITE. SO I HAVE TO THANK THOSE PEOPLE WHOSE STUFF I HAVE READ. THERE ARE MANY MANY.
SO I WILL EDIT THIS POST IN DUE COURSE TO ADD ALL OF THEM, GOD WILLING.
BUT FOR NOW I KNOW, OF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I HAVE TO THANK : PARAS LEHANA. CHAINFIRE. SUPERATMOS. CYANOGEN TEAM. CODEWORKX.. ASHWINSRIHARI.. JIANGYI.. SIDDIQULAH16.. FARYAAB.. NITINVAID... KINGSAPP.. BURGER KING.
PLEASE, DONT THANK ME ON THIS POST, I DONT DESERVE IT . BUT REMEMBER ME. AND MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO THANK ME FOR.
Read these. .. THESE ARE THE REAL GUIDES.. mine is just an intro to a guide.

Dude you do not need odin to flash the lp7 kernel... Why are you lengthning the process and making it tough??? Flashing a custom kernel and rom via odin increases binary counter....and you will have yellow triangle...
Simple:
Follow the second method and you will have the root access in less than a min....and no binary increase or yellow trinagle....
No offence but here are Many threads about rooting the ics g ver...pls dont start a new one... I know you want to help... If you really want to help... Then Try to get some knowledge which others dont know and post it...that might even help us...
Opening a thread of same topic again and again is known as spamming!..

You guys know much more about roms and kernels than you realise.
There are many of us who dont know computers that well. I don't think you have read my post. You would realise the perspective I have provided if you read it properly. So you would know I am telling the others like me to read and read.
But anyway. I've jumped in the water now. We'll see if I sink or swim. Using heimdall.. the instructions provided are not in good enough English for those who do not speak English every day. Like me. The PDF that paras lehana provided is a good starting point.
I don't think you guys realise how much you know.
Anyway... I am always open to constructive criticism... welcome my brothers, welcome.

I have to edit the post to tell my fellow noobs that they should have a stock ics build first.
And also to add links to read. I will not add links to software. My fellow noobs will have to find them in their search for knowledge.
And the specific people to thank. Then I will thank all of them personally. I don't yet know how to thank. Buy I will today.
I have to say, the yellow triangle didn't come up. Maybe I was lucky.
But the binary counter did register my changes. I still don't know what that means. But I will research and then find the appropriate way in which to share this information.

first off i think its good that one of ur 1st post is trying to contribute instead of spam. 2ndly, thanks for taking the time to type it, although its a little lengthy.
just wanted to tell you that the number 11 point needs to be edited abit in case newbies get confused.
11.boot phone into recovery mode. if CWM app is present in phone, can click on CWM and boot into recovery OR switch phone off, hold up+home button+power.
12.once in recovery mode, select install zip from sd card.choose the cm9 file etc
Thank you for your insight. I will edit the post soon. I am having problems with clockwork, I want to sort that out as well and then edit my post. Any advice is always appreciated.
Peace to all. Always. Thank you XDA
To Mr. Kingsapp. When you say the second method, from which guide do you mean.. I want to learn to root my phone in the best way.. So you probably know the best way.... Once I have succeeded in doing so.. I want to try the v6 supercharger script. Please point me in the direction of the right thread to read.

Probably a very good guide ... But got into problems when i came to line 5 "Order a chicken burger".
The chicken burger part was kind is unclear to me ... I dont like chicken and is wondering if i a pizza would be ok?
... Edit ...
Decided to give it a try ...
Downloaded latest firmware and flashed it on my way down the stairs using "Odin Mobile Pro" ...
Done before i hit the pizza restaurant round the corner
Good news ... line 5 "Order a chicken burger" can be substituted with a "Order a pizza" and it's now working as a charm
Thanks

Download and do either of the following for a full backup...
the best way to do a complete and full backup of your device.. There are two methods
1 most common
download ROM MANAGER
you can from in this app install a custom recovery on your device..
Boot into the custom recovery and do a full anand backup. you can also flash other custom roms (custom android os)
2 what i use..
download goo manager beta from play store
in go manager click menu at top choose install open source recovery . follow prompts . It will download and install
same as step one you can boot into recovery from goo manager Its big botton fully touch base . And you can backup and restore as well as flash custom roms...
NOW WITH THE ABOVE SAID PLEASE READ thru the forums related to roms rom manager Custom recoveries .. and so on .. this will save you some troubles later .. anything you need to know or not understand Just ask We are here to help.
Cool, thanks! Could you point me to the best place for explanations about roms? XDA is huge and I am not sure where to look... Cheers!

And then eventually, try out some custom kernels. Although be warned, you may discover a new hobby and become a crack flasher
I usually don't keep any one ROM and kernel on my tablet for more then a week (average is 2 days). I'm trying to resist flashing PARANOIDANDROID 1.992 since I heard 2.0 is around the corner.. not sure how long I can hold out though

To find roms on xda
Xda is a very organized web site for the most part finding them is easy. deciding which one is not so much
rom actually means read only memory.. But we will skip the tech stuff for now..
Here on the device development forums Rom is referred to mostly as a custom built Operating system for your device .
these can be built by one person or a team of developers . Most have tweaks and customization's a bit above and beyond the stock experience. ITS BEST before flashing any new rom is to into the forum thread of the rom read developer info and the comments made on the thread. Many roms have experimental software apps and tweaks.. Not all roms are perfectly stable..SO FINDING one that has what you are looking for is just a matter of reading and trial and error.
Most roms. well all you see anymore Come with a kernel. (The linux part of android .. Kinda whats under the hood) . Be sure to pay attention to this and the information. Some add features some over clock .
we have here for the n7 several types of roms .
original development .. these are based on the custom operating system pushed by google
custom based on the above but often has alot more customization's and kernel tweaks More likely to have buggs . but often faster and take up less storage space on device.. as well as having a personal twist for the developer on apps installed customization's and themes
I never give advice on what to use just go in the development section and start reading .
Be sure before you flash anything on your tablet know what it is and how to get out of it Back to stock and Have your backups backed up...
ALWAYS HAVE A WAY OUT FIRST..
Good Luck
So I am now on Paranoid Android, trying out the different Workspaces. Thanks for the help!
But I don't understand what Paranoid Android does. What does "This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually" mean in every day language?
Also, could someone explain where, in tablet mode, the three dots are for the settings of many apps. They seem to be covered by the status bar. How does one access them? Would be grateful for help as I really like the small tablet mode.
Listen, I can read fine and understand instruction.
the phone is rooted but each time I try to install a ROM it gives me a new error, the last one was library cannot found.
I tried about 10 different roms from here, each failed. Either its stuck on boot screen or doesnt let me pass boot menu no matter what.
I guess I got the devils phone.
Any suggestions?
I don't know why your phone is crazy, but maybe flashing the SBF again will help?

Which SBF? the rom's? I tried, same BS everytime.
I just use this ****ty looking 2.3.6 I just want the phone to look nicer cuz I hate that too-androidish look.
And a nice smooth scrolling in the menu will be nice aswell.
i'm really sorry to ask and i dont mean to offend you but we need a starting point:
- did you try to install zip via stock recovery perhaps
- did you install 2ndinit?
- defy or defy+?
- did you wipe/factory reset before flashong the zip?
- do you maybe have bl7 kernel?
actually, sounds really bad but hopefully there is a way for you!
Please list the exact steps you followed to root and get a recovery and also mention what you did in recovery.. don't worry, we will help you as much as we can
And also list some of the roms you tried flashing..

- use custom recovery do install your preferred custom ROM. (only use the ones for defy+)
you can NOT install custom roms from stock recovery!

Should I install a specific version of 2ndinit Defy? Can you give me the program, I'm confused what to download.
What do you mean stock recovery?
And another Q: If I was to successfully flash a rom, should I use GB or flash to JB?
stock recovery = shut down > power + vol-down
custom recovery = reboot > vol-down when blue light
no specific 2ndinit. just use the one that is mentioned in FAQ or howto install...

Listen to this. It is not Motorola's fault that you have soft bricked your device. It is entirely your fault. Hundreds of other guys have successfully flashed their device with the ROM of their choice and are having no problems. Maybe you should read threads before trying to flash ROMs. If you do not know the basics of rooting and modding android, you should not attempt to do it. And if you have flashed your device without doing the neccessary homework, please do not expect help from the community. Please educate yourself to the required level before attempting to do such things. There are several well written and comprehensive guides and tutorials on the cyanogen wiki as well as here on xda which can answer all your questions for sure. For your own sake, please read them. Your posts in this thread highlight your severe lack of rudimentary knowledge about android. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because everyone was like that at some point. BUT, we read and we read and if we didn't understand, we read some more!
Please understand that this is a community where we cannot help you if you do not help yourself. I'm sorry to to tell you this, but you are being a jerk by criticising Moto and whining that things aren't working when it is you who has done things in the incorrect manner. So stop being a n00b, stop whining, go read some threads ( ALL THE STICKY ONES, MINIMUM ! AS WELL AS THE ONES ON THE CYANOGENMOD WIKI ! ) and educate yourself. Just because your friend has modded his device does not mean that you can too.It requires a certain level of expertise which can be easily gained, provided that you are ready to be an eager learner. Remember this, TO GET GOOD REPLIES, YOU HAVE TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS.
Get rid of the attitude, --- learn the basics --- and then come back. If you are still having a genuine problem, then we will help you.
PS: You mentioned that you are going to flash using RSD lite. PLEASE flash the appropriate SBF file. If you flash the wrong SBF, it can lead to some serious problems. Choose wisely. And if you make ****s in that too, please do not start a new thread, refer to the pre-existing help threads. Good luck.
And please do not ask for the links to the above mentioned threads, use the search function and your common sense.

Please understand that this is a community where we cannot help you if you do not help yourself. I'm sorry to to tell you this, but you are being a jerk by criticising Moto and whining that things aren't working when it is you who has done things in the incorrect manner. So stop being a n00b, stop whining, go read some threads ( ALL THE STICKY ONES, MINIMUM ! AS WELL AS THE ONES ON THE CYANOGENMOD WIKI ! ) and educate yourself. Just because your friend has modded his device does not mean that you can too.It requires a certain level of expertise which can be easily gained, provided that you are ready to be an eager learner. Remember this, TO GET GOOD REPLIES, YOU HAVE TO ASK GOOD QUESTIONS.
Get rid of the attitude, --- learn the basics --- and then come back. If you are still having a genuine problem, then we will help you.
PS: You mentioned that you are going to flash using RSD lite. PLEASE flash the appropriate SBF file. If you flash the wrong SBF, it can lead to some serious problems. Choose wisely. And if you make ****s in that too, please do not start a new thread, refer to the pre-existing help threads. Good luck.
And please do not ask for the links to the above mentioned threads, use the search function and your common sense.

I've read well over 30 topics here ENTIRELY and none helped, I've done everything according to the guides, simply when I start to boot my device after a ROM flashing it has a new problem, I just gave up on motorola, tomorrow I'm going to return this piece of rubbish and get myself a SGS2 Because I've had enough of Motorola.
Thanks and no thanks to all, I've had enough of this rubbish.
good luck with your new device.
Well then..

Okay, wish you better luck with your SGS2, try harder with it.. And please don't call the Defy a piece of rubbish because it is a lovely phone, infact I don't know any other device which can boot custom kernels on a locked bootloader :laugh:
And if you manage to brick the SGS2 also, perhaps it's best that you get an iPhone next time.
My escape route when in trouble!
Was reading thru some threads when I came across some newcomers crying out for help stuck in bootloops while flashing custom roms.
Since I was free.Thought maybe write my own experiences down and what I did to get out of trouble.
Hope this not so short essay help someone new to XDA.
Let me begin with ClockWorkMod recovery.
I for one,have installed two types of Recovery to be on the safe side.
Anyways having the two does not in anyway hinder either.
Therefore it is only and added advantage.
If that wasn't enough there are kernels which come with preinstalled CWM of their own.
At the moment I've got 3.
I switch roms very often.Many a times in the beggining I often made mistakes and always had to redo the whole procedure all over again.
That means from scratch.Flashing custom roms,rooting and then delve in CWM -
X-Parts by pvyPARTS
which I had to keep downloading again and again from market.
Real pain in the ass!
Now where did I stop in the procedure,yes,after CWM installation,fastboot flash the kernel and now use the CWM to flash the roms and the other zips.
Then came across another recovery tool.
RecoverX by LEDelete.
Awesome tool.Does the same more or less as X-Parts except you need to run this on your PC and bind it to your device.
Color is bright neon blue.Very nice visually.
So now what are my choices.Do I retain one and let go of the other.
Made some enquiries about having 2 recoveries.Feedback,no problems. Sweeeeet. I'll take both!
Then came the kernels with their own recoveries i. e -
mechmetal for FusioN kernels
Did the dancing act at the beginning and very stable versions now.
Thank you.
I'll have that too.The more the better since it was not corrupting my device in any ways.
Presently,very few mistakes in flashing roms. So less frequent flashing stock roms. Mind you,it does require me,at times,to do complete clean installs once in awhile.
For that I have learnt a few tricks.
Flashing stock roms-the usual flashtool.
Since I have the bootloader unlocked,rooting takes less than 2 seconds. Simply a marvellous tool.Thanks to:
AutoRoot by bazoocase
Can't escape downloading from Google play store though OR is there a way?
There is!
Am learning that now but I'm actually trying to get only my most needed apps such as Titanium backup,Astro File Manager, and one or two more apps with its contents and data.
Jesus H Christ,this is only the beggining.There's a whole lot more to learn.But I'm liking it!
So newcomers,this might help you in your stay here at XDA.If via this lengthly passage I am able to help A newcomer I am satisfied.
Note:This are pointers for newcomers who have problems during flashing custom roms and start CRYing when stuck in bootloops.
PS: All the above are true facts.
I learnt by making mistakes here and there.
I did a lot of reading,searching,sending out PM's not getting replies and reading,searching and putting forward questions all over sometimes in wrong threads too.
For that I had been abused and bombarded collectively.But hey,that made me be extra careful.
These would happen to you but don't give up.Practice makes perfect.Don't shy off from making decisions.
You are already here.People can teach your everything but at the end of the day you are the one who is going to press that execute button.
It will for work for some cos they did exactly what was needed to be done.It might not work for some cos they didn't.

Xperia Arc LT15i

Custom Kernel: Arc FusioN 4.3

LreadyIt is good to see a senior member-op putting up a thread like this without being a know it all, smartass twat! I'm sure all the noobies will appreciate it! I personally worked it all out with a full month of reading. I have a bad temper and did not feel like getting abused and tyrated for asking perfectly legitimate questions! I say the same to all who are having probs and are new, keep reading,asking questions and don't give up! Six months ago I couldn't even navigate these forums properly, now I test Roms and kernels for devs! My biggest tip is find a kernel with CWM preinstalled and prerooted custom Roms! Remember one thing too, Titanium Backup is your best friend and is worth paying for the pro version! I don't like anything that isn't free but TB is worth the money!
To the OP here I think it would be good to insert a nit more detail on how to do these things and use these apps in your thread for those not in the know, maybe even some links! It's alot of work but I think noobies will be grateful! If you want some help to complete a noob friendly thread for flashing/rooting etc. PM me and I will help you write it up! We will prob get berated by others because of similar threads, but I have found them not noob friendly or incorrect! The only reason I still a junior member is because I have not bothered to make posts as have not had anything useful to say till recently!

Similar to the existing stickys, which are highly under utilized by new members, and as shown on a few occasions, by senior members too. Read Read Read, practice practice practice, is the only way anyone is going to learn, and I know because it's what I had to do for similar reasons to you when I knew absolutely nothing when I first joined, and if you're serious about learning how to tweak and mod Android then you need to be prepared to spend an hour or two sat at your computer, as you're not going to learn everything over night, in a week or even a month, and 3 years later you may still be learning, as I continue to.

Hello everyone
I am new to the forum so I am not sure if I am in the right place. I have rotted my xperia arc and I cannot install the CWM. I have tried through Xparts and through the RecoverX (RecoverX seems not to be able to download the recovery). I have done the same thing in the past without havin any probelems. This is the first time that I cannot install it. Any ideas?
Thanks for helping
Hi all.
I hope I won't got bashed too hard for being a noob.
Yes,I'm a total noob.The reason I'm here is because I am jealous of my sister's new Galaxy S4 phone and it's beautiful.I was like,"Samsung,you only cared for your new phones and ditch the old ones behind".
So,I decided to install a new ROM for my SGY.
Now guys,when answering me,please assume that I'm a total,I mean totally noob. I don't really understands the Android OS.
Just assume that I'm a country guy who is having a Nokia 3310 as my previous phone and 1 year ago,I bought SGY because people say smartphone are cool.
Note that previously,I only use my SGY for facebook,angry birds,phone call and messages.I don't know anything about flashing ROM etc.
So for this few days,I decided to dig deeper into my phone and see what's inside for this holiday week.
And these are what I want to do:
1)Understand the OS.
2)Root my phone( what should I do before,during and after rooting? like making back ups etc)
3)Clock Work Mod(What's this? I heard it before but I don't know what is this)
4)Install a new ROM.(I've seen hyperion 8 was the best ROM so far,but do suggest me if there are better ones,the Beats music driver,Bravia engine caught my attention.)
So,kind community,please help me step by step,and provide me guides on how to complete these things.Much appreciated. Good day

1.) google "android os"
2.) have a look at guides so you can better understand the whole rooting process, use the search function on xda to help you out
3.) it's a custom recovery (again use the search function for more info)
4.)hyperion is a BANNED rom! It's not the best rom and no rom is considered best since each has it's unique features (except copy/pasted roms). Choose which rom suits you and your needs best.
Again search is your friend, you'll find much faster answers that way.

1. as far as android OS is concerned it will take you some to understand everything about it. So keep reading here as much as you can to understand about it.
2. Rooting allows user to access all features of your rom and add or remove some features of rom. also it lets you modify your system easily. it is just like the administrator account of your pc in which you can do anything.
3. ClockWorkMod is custom recovery for our devices which allows us to create backup, restore them and many other features that stock recovery doesn't offers. When you install a custom rom you need this foe installation.
4. Everyone has his on tastes so better try custom roms by your own and see if you like them or not

android os is friendy no need to understand
rooting is gaining administrator privileges on phone to do stuffs like flasing new rom or new recovery
cwm is a custom recovery that gives more options than stock recovery
custom roms are modified roms to increase ur device's performance

XDA frowns on "what is the best rom" posts. You'll need to try a few and see what works for you. there is no single best rom, as different people have different needs and wants.
the debloat script is in the dev section.

I havent Flashed a single Rom since 3 years..
There was a Forum, AndroidWorld (Dutch) were people could find me daily..
Helping others with there Droid / Rom Problems/Questions .. (Even the eye Frowning ones)
The site owners changes the interface of the forum and i left..
Now 3 years later I end up here with a pretty simple question in my eyes.. (Frowning or not)
What I do remember from my time on the forums ,
Back then there was always a Rom that Stood out more then the rest..
So a "what is the best rom" Question could look the same.. but the answer is always different given the moment....
Let me rephrase the question Mike..
What is the Most up to date Rom at the Moment for my Device?
