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.

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
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.

...than do 10 Spam posts, to unlock Dev Area...
I read a lot, and found a post I wanted to thank him in the topic of my ROM. I registered just to find out, that you need at least 1 Post to thank. Ok, no problem. The last post was someone asking a question I could answer anyways. So i clicked on reply...

I can understand that, I just wanted to point that out (and do my first post to do thanks ).
It would be cool to have another possibilty. Maybe a quiz or something like that to test qualifications.

Well, I finding a bit difficult to understand your thread...I don’t see point of unlocking the Dev area unless you are in the field. As far as I am concern the dev area will not give me much, especially with the silly questions I am still to ask.
"...to test qualifications..." what is the point? Many like me turn to XDA to find an answer to a problem and likely will to have the knowledge to stand an examination.
To finalize, my idea with the thread was to provide some information, there are plenty of people going under with their phones due to stupid mistakes.
People stuffing the forum with “spam” threads should check themselves, do a full wipe and then reboot…if you know what I mean.
one additional suggestion: "[GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive"
This is what I said:

This is what really happened:
I registered [because i wanted to thank a post]. I logged in (after email confirmation) and searched for the thank button, but couldn't find it. So i went to google picture search, typed in "xda thank button" (there is always at least one person making a screenshot and a arrow on it) and found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590190
and on page 2:
It works now - seems that one at least needs one post before "Thanks" is unlocked.
So...nothing for quiet readers like me

Why should I have made a new topic about it?
I usually search first at google, than xda (because of localisation) and when I still haven't found an answer there have already 3 hours passed and I might really have a problem/question noone else ever had before.
Forums are no chat. Every Question and their answers will be saved. Asking a question again and waiting for answers takes usually much longer than just google it.
Just as example the first Post in Q&A of the Note:

Hello all, I come from the sgh-t959 forums. I just purchased an S4 (rogers variant) about an hour ago, and now I'm eager to learn what fun stuff I can do with this. So I have a few questions to ask you to feel more comfortable with this phone .
Are different roms worth putting on? I only cm on my old phone because stock was 2.3.6, this bad boy runs 4.3.
I found the root procedure for my phone, will it the procedure work on the new firmware? (Link below to the procedure I'm referring to)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 = link to the auto root thread I was talking to above
Is there any fun tweak's I should be aware of to put on it?
Any apps that are most have on it?
Can't wait to get this baby to the latest android.
Any links or information related to my phone model are much appreciated, because theirs so much to sort through.
So yeah, hello Samsung S4 section of XDA, I hope I'll get along with you all.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am a noob here until further notice
You need to read the "pinned" threads in the 'general" and "Q&A" sections before you do anything. Almost all questions about the S4 have already been asked and most of the answers can be found in those threads or through the threads linked in them. The search function will also be useful. Make sure you follow the XDA rules and search before asking. Above all, remember, this is a development site. It is up to you to search read and learn about your device before you do anything to it. If you follow these suggestions, you should do just fine. Good luck.
Ahhh perfect, can you delete your post so I can delete this thread?
Edit: MODZZZ delete my noobish thread please/
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
