Where's rooting 101?

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?

I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.

Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.

Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

Ask and you shall get.
Here is a video of doing the whole root process. link
The guy has a site here is the link.

See the rooting link in my signature.

Creating a Rom and Kernel.

So as everyone has probably noticed alot of people have opted-out of the X10 community, developers and consumers alike.
I have this phone for another year so I would like to learn how to create rom's and kernels so I can contribute back to those who have help fed my flash addiction.
Where do I start??
Thanks in advance for the input,
Vader

I would also like to learn how to make my own ROM and kernels to contribute to the site and phone.

It won't come to you automatically guys .
Read through the forum , Read Read & Read .
Experiment things .. You'll get lots of headaches , But it'll be worth it .
& Then ask for help , There should be a issue to solve right .

Thanks Oodie. I didn't know there was an entire section of the forum dedicated to this as well.
Nathvader check this out.

Oh well would you look at that! Ok everybody I should have ICS port and kernel up and running by tomorrow...
hehe jk will start small thanks for the help Oodie love your roms btw!
Also good luck Dragon Outlaw King!

I believe you can develop in whatever environment/OS you want, but you will need a working knowledge of linux to be able to work on kernels especially and ROMs too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

For kernel stuff I think you have to be on Linux, because of the required dependencies and libraries.

There's a whole sub-forum on this site for Android Rom Cooking, why don't you have a look in there...
Sent from my Snapdragon.

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
So please masters, help me out! :angel:

Google is your friend. Its where i got started when i wanted to develop. So go there Its not going to be easy, but at least you can say YOU did all the work yourself

Already tried searching for tutorials with no luck... maybe you can help finding some useful tutorials or guides?

Well there are guides for dsixda kitchen, you just have to use the HD2 source code for whatever ROM type you want to cook (ie CM9 AOKP CM7 MIUI SENSE etc)

1st- learn the basics of android
2nd- if you use windows, search for dxiaxda's kitchen
3rd- follow instructions from there,
pretty much that,
you must learn it yourself since learning is understanding,
and understanding is the beginning of learning

Compiling Is the wrong word mate. I had created a howto long back, search for it

[Q] Just Rooted My N4 What Next?

Hello X-da community stoned_pirate here and I guess I will gingerly call myself a developer. Well Im learning all about the develop process. So I just rooted my phone and it was a success. Watched a vid by mskip, boy does he simplify things a lot. So ive also installed goo manager I heard the name in the vid. So do I flash a kernel next or rom? Can I do this from goo manager? A simple break down of whats next would be kindly appreciated.
Thx,
SP

No real breakdown of whats next since thats up to you. May I suggest you go to wiki page for our phone or check any of the stickies in development or general and simply read up on your phone. Many choices for you! Quite a few roms and many more kernels, read up and see which ones you like

since you mentioned it. Flash rom first, Kernel second.

OK so I need to flash s ROM and then kernel. Will this allow me to utilize 4glte when possible? Also can I flash a ROM and kernel from goostore?

no. you need to do some modification first before you can use lte on tmobile or any other company that uses band 4 lte(not very common). look in the lte thread for instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211618
btw, after reading this, i cant even gingerly call you a developer. first thing that you need to do is start reading up about whats available or even basic procedures. starting a thread asking people where to start will not do you any good.
