I am new to the game but would like to root my LG Revolution! I had it rooted and was working well with decrap rom and other fixes but the ota update screwed me up. I have since downgraded but cannot find a root method I am can do myself since I am slightly inexperienced. I used super one click before when it was working but it seems to be broken now! Please help me root my phone with detailed directions!
What does this have to do with development? I think you posted this in the wrong board.

I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?
look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk
If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?
from one noob to another

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.
p.s. the very first sticky in this q&a forum shows you what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679
Hello all...
can you guys help me...
Im using Milestone [GSM]
still with original FW, Eclair 2.1 Update 1
I wanna upgrade the FW into froyo [2.2]
the question is, HOW???
thx b4 all...
Why doesn't anyone use the search function/ Google to search such an old topic :/
For Rooting and flashing vulnerable recovery:
http://androidforums.com/milestone-all-things-root/75460-milestone-2-1-update-root-guide.html
Then you can use the OpenRecovery Mod (from G.O.T) to flash 2.2.1....
OK..
Done..
Thx
IMHO this would be a good thing to put in the XDA-Developers wiki, rather than forcing newbies to search through a lot of forum threads which causes confusion. I agree that everybody should be diligent in using the search box before asking questions, but it's still not ideal. Also, sometimes things change from time to time (e.g. GOT releasing updates) and then it's even more confusing to use the forum threads as references for "how to".
I would like to work on it but am busy with a lot of other stuff at the moment...next time I install a new ROM I will try to write a step-by-step wiki article (if anyone else thinks it's a good idea?) or at least put a link in the Milestone/Droid wiki page to the relevant forum threads.
This is my first post in the LG Revo section. I love my phone, but the OTA was done in the store, therefore I can't root. I've read through all the posts here but I haven't read anything that says someone is actually working on a way to root the V6 firmware. Does anyone know if someone is working on this or if there are any updates? Thanks!

I believe there is a way to downgrade the firmware ad root from there. Check in the dev section or possibly in this general section
Hi,
Got a galaxy note with baseband version N7000XXKK5 and kernel version of 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKK5-CL726566. I'm totally new with flashing ROM such as this on android and I'm just wondering if somebody could provide with the instructions and tools to get me started specifically for Rocket ROM?
I am a returning xda user from the good old times of WinMo on htc touch and htc diamond
Thanks!
first of all you need to get Root your device. If you are non rooted then go to first link of my signature. And remember
You need to post it in Q & A section or to Roket ROM Thread itself.
This is development section.
Yups. 1st u need to root your device. The easy method is CF root by Chainfire
Hi,
Rocket Rom installation is not different from any other Custom Rom one.
First thing you have to do is, sorry for this....., STUDING.
Note is a really expensive phone so, before modding it, take some time to understand what you are doing (I followed Note's forum for 1 month before rooting mine), becaouse with modding you can:
• lose your warranty
• brick(=destroy) your NOTE!! (this can 99% happen if you don't know what are you doing...).
Ok now let's start with real advice:
1) Start from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325369&highlight=efs (ORIGINAL EFS folder is ESSENTIAL for Samsung warranty)
2) Root your Note http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 instruction on the second POST
3) Go to Rocket Rom page and follow instruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380284 (Dev of the Rocket Rom eybee1970 stopped updating this fantastic Rom so , by now, don’t expect further update)
My last advice is READ READ READ and SEARCH in XDA forum, 99% of question you can imagine has just been asked.
XDA is a really great place to understand, but you have to put some effort into
BTW…welcome to the great community of NOTE’s Owner, probably the best Android Device.
Thank you guys for your replies and suggestions. Really appreciate it. These definitely give me a good starting point
Cheers

Questions belong in Q&A, not development.
Telus LG optimus Black
Android version 2.2.2
LG-P970G-V10A
Tried using Superoneclick computer freezes on Very first step 3.
did you know, that the best netuser's friend is........research ? don't you wonder if one of previous of hundreds users asked for this before you ?
From what i searched came up with nothing pertaining to this phone.
Ive done phones before this but no LG product.
oh com'on, that means you didn't search well in this p970 forum. at least google should do it, but whatever, take a look at my thread or nooby's one in general section
Found a lot of dead links, phone seems hard for a lot of others. I got it though using LG Esteem ROOT.
Could not find a lot of other files to try. Gingerbreak which alot used just found bad links or ones that wanted to install other programs.
nice.
if you found dead links, you could report them to their respective authors. just know that you can find every needed things in the kit I provide. also, take a look at my shares (link in signature)
Is your post the one i saw it said to use "Gingerbreak"? cause i could not find that link either. Unless it was under a different name?

It seems you have a lot of research to do, by reading through the various stickies in General and Development, and posting questions in Q&A.
Hi, you can find more information here:

I recomend you BlackJack to root your device.
