Been rooting phones since my hero days but this will be the first time I've bought an unlocked international phone. Any precautions I should take and what is the safest rooting method available?
Thanks
Derek

Hello most of the root guides for this phone are vague and not well done. Anyone have a detailed easy way to root the captivate?

You could always flash a rom that prerouted. Cyanogenmod roms all come pre flashed and allow you to keep up to date with modern phones. (allows you to go up to Ice cream sandwich 4.0.4! Also Its not unbrickable by any means. I accidentally came very close to bricking my captivate when i first started modding it. Luckily I got a jig and jigged the crap out of it! HAHA
Hello everyone!
I have GinderDx v028b and i am on stock kernel.
i want to unlock my bootloader and i searched the forum but couldnt find any reference for
unlocking bootloader using the GinderDx ROM.
So should i install the stock rom first or can i do it using ginderdx only?
And the manufacturing code behind the cell case is 11W26.
Its safer to go back to 2.1 And then proceed with the bootloader unlock process

yes, it is safer to go to eclair, but i unlocked mine BL on gingerdx. i personally think that it doesn't matter because the script unlocks the BL when the phone is booting and the OS isn't running yet (but i can be wrong )
Thanks a lot guys for helping!! :good:
Successfully unlocked my bootloader!!
Did it from the stock rom
I envy you

First things first, I am a Noob.. I have an ATT LG Thrill 4G that a friend has given me. It's hardlocked. I was told that rooting and flashing the ROM to Factory Origin, would remove the hardlock. However, I have tried every way mentioned in all the threads, tried SuperOneclick, Megatron, Unlock Root Pro and a few others. However, my phone just does not want to root.. Any help/sugestions would greatly be appreciated.
What os are you using? I

I need help on rooting my phone. For example how to root my HTC One and if I can undo the rooting. Also I want to know if it will slow down my device.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Rooting does Not slow down your phone and you can undo rooting when you install stock firmware
but if you root ur phone then at some cases it might get bricked so its useless as a brick
