Go to the development section and there is alot in there. I would link ya but on the phone. Just don't flash a gingerbread ROM over Froyo.
GINGERVOLTED!
Can anyone directly help me? i would really appreciate it.... i got the .tot file.. but im having trouble with the lgnpst program... looks like i have all the files, but i cant bring my phone up in that program... aghhh
I'll be on IRC for awhile. Most likely other people online as well...we'll have you gingerbreaded in no time. Info is in my sig.

i think i figured it out.... that program found the found... now i gotta install that .tot file... unfortunately it wont let me do it because i have less then 25% battery... soo im charging it right now...... BTW it doesnt matter that im rooted already??? im just assuming once the update goes through ill have to root it again before getting the gingervolt rom??
found the phone*

Ok so I'm new to moding. I have a Sprint Hero. I went to the sprint store and they updated me to the official 2.1 update. My question is can I still mod my phone even if I have the new 2.1 soft ware? And if not, is there a way to go back to 1.5 ? and if so , how do I even do that ? is there a tutorial around here to show me how to start doing this? Yes im a tech but this is not my filed. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Can't do anything yet to an official 2.1. Sorry give it some time

If you search here on xda for the guide to rooting you will find one, however, I think this one gives you a little more info and is super easy to follow. Btw, this one uses the same method.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html
Also, there is an auto rooter out there called Fresh Kitchen found at geekfor.me which is pretty cool.. it's made specifically for the Sprint HTC Hero based on 1.5. I used it to root my phone and it work flawlessly and it's pretty much painless... once it's rooted, from what I can tell, you can pretty much try out various roms from the different devs that are out there. The main thing is, you may have to wipe your phone when you change to different roms.. geekfor.me/category/android15/ is link for the auto rooter.. you have to download it and run it on your pc then connect your phone via usb cable.. he has video tutorials on the website to help..
Hey guys,
Yes im a noob, but not a complete tool. I picked up the capitvate a few months ago after ditching the iphone. I just d/l the ODIN3-2.2 Update and got that all set up on my phone. Question, did i actually root this thing or just update to the 2.2 software? If i didnt root it, can you guys help me out and figure out how to really root it?

No your not rooted, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725555
Not to be all harsh but if your not a total tool why did you post this in the dev forum? And not know what root means? Its cool to be a n00b but at least try to help us help you. Once you display you have no forum skills and no phone skills it scares alot of users away....
Haha I thought the same thing. Read the Dev section and you will find your answers. I had no idea what advanced was when I got NY captivate but after reading I was able to find out how to use those commands. It takes patience to figure this phone out.

Glad to see a new poster around here. Follow the instructions on that page and it should get you through everything. As long as you have Clockwork Mod (CWM) on your phone already. If you don't have that here's another thread for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121952
That thread will get you CWM onto your phone just follow those instructions as well.
After you get all that done then just flash the theme you want through CWM using the zip file they give in their post with their instructions. I assume you already know where to get those and maybe even which one you want.
Hope this was hopeful
If you have more questions feel free to pm Mr and I can walk you through it more as well. Also, we have an IRC channel as well. Someone helped me out and saved my phone...twice...cubed... So the least I can do is pay it forward.
Cheers

thanks a lot for the help...i did read that page before but im not sure what version to install on my phone...thats where im confused????
Are you talking which version of revolt? If so you should do the most recent 1.5. Make sure CWM is installed also.
I've Revolted have you?
ok.thanks guys. got it....finally try some roms....any suggestions?
Revolt 1.5. Runs pretty smooth and quite fast!!
I've Revolted have you?
yes I just revolted and im enjoying it...i hear a lot of people are homeless so im reading more into it see if its any better...but i like the speed of revolted 1.5

Tsk Tsk Tsk.... read forums on how to do it please!
But I'll help anyways, USB Debugging mode needs to be turned on, on your phone.
You need to have the LG Thrill USB drivers installed on your PC
You need to enter USB debugging mode on your phone... Should work after that.
Usb is on and yes i have current drivers installed....im not new to this stuff just new to the thrill coming from a captivate
any help is greatly appreciated
Are you using the one from the Development forum for the Thrill?
Yes ive tried that one, ive tried several
Are you on stock?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G
yes i even did a hard reset as well as soft. I just reconfirmed my drivers are all up to date and installed.BTW im on windows 7 if thats of any help thanks for your help so far. Im usually really good with this stuff but im stumped
Let's see.
Are you looking to go to a particular ROM?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G
not particularly any suggestions?
I don't have any suggestions.
As for root, I'll look into it.
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G
Thanks a lot for your help. I thought I had it last night it went through the entire process. But when my phone rebooted it bootlooped
Okay. Let's go through the loops.
Are you on Froyo or GB?
froyo 2.2.2 havent got any ota yet one of my reasons for wanting root
Alright.
FROYO - CHECK.
Would you care to try this in rooting?
it worked.
Thanks so much for your help i really do appreciate your time. Any rough estimates on your rom yet?
Really noob question... is there any plans on getting 21b rootable anytime soon?? I've had no problems running this stock, in fact battery life has been very much improved.

i picked up a used first generation(7" SCH-I800) VZW Galaxy Tab on Craigslist a couple weeks ago and have had a series of problems while trying to root it or even connect it to my computer.
im looking for Verizon specific instructions if anyone can make that happen.
i have a Windows 7 64bit PC and every time i try to install the drivers it fails. i do NOT have the Kies option in the USB connect menu in settings, only Media Play and Mass Storage. i downloaded Kies from Samsung website and installed it, and again the driver failed to install properly.
i know theres a bunch of people out there with rooted/rom'd Verizon branded Tabs. i'd love to figure out how you guys are doing it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
nothing? nobody here has a rooted Verizon Tab?
I've got the same tab. Been trying to root it for weeks. Z4 wont work, superoneclick hangs and the tab turns off but only goes into standby and doesnt really get rooted. I would deff make a donation to anyone who can help, I cant wait to get rid of all the verizon bloatware on this thing!

Im going to be real with y'all this to me is the most weird root i have ever had to do. I have rooted every android device i have owned with no problem but this just doesn't make sense to me. How do I root this blasted thing? No one can give me a straight answer some say zroot that doesn't work some say superoneclick that doesn't work. Is it the fact that its the sch 1800 from verizon? I don't understand why this device is so difficult to root can some one point me to a video or a direct like so i can read up on it cause its not making sense to me.
Thanks
