[Q] I have NO CLUE what to do first??? PLZ HELP

Ok...here it goes.....
I have a AT&T, USA Captivate and i want to install the leaked froyo 2.2 on it, get all the bloatware off of it and "maybe" overclock it to 1.2 or so!!!
This is the prob.... The more I read threads on here, the more confused I get.
My wife is an IT person, so I have some back up on that end, but.....
I guess I need to know what to do, in what steps and how to do each step.
I will gladly donate funds to someone that could give me a step-by-step and what programs i need in order to accomplish each step.
FYI: I'm working off of a loptop, running windows 7........ And "NO", I have no clue what the lingo means on here.....
Some one please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
First you post in the wrong forums. you should've post in Q&A.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
every roms you can download on here will have instructions on how to go from there.
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A not development.
Go in the ROM's thread. There's almost always a step by step there.
If you can't follow those directions, then im sorry, but chances are you shouldn't be flashing anything. You're going to brick something.
The Axura thread has good step by step directions. Try there first.

Step 1: root it, find 1-click root somewhere in this forum.
Step 2: download titanium backup and rom manager from the market
Step 3: run a batch backup of your apps and info.
Step 4: put desired rom on sdcard
Step 5: install rom via rom manager.
There are some small steps I skipped, though I trust that you're smart enough to figure it out.
We were all there guys.....

[Q] New to custom roms

Hi all and a special thanks to Paul for his work on the O2X.
My previous phone was a HTC Desire, and with a great video guide I was able to put the Defrost ROM on it (Very easy), witch was the best thing I had ever done to the Phone.
So of cause I really want to do the same with my O2X.
I have read all threads in this forum, and I'm ready to put on a custom ROM on my O2X.
But is it to soon if I'm looking for a stable version?
And when I read this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007863
And read something like this "READ THESE CAREFULLY!", I'm getting nervous that I might do something wrong and ruin my new Phone.
Would i be possible for someone to just list each step I need to do to get a working custom ROM on my phone?
Some thing like this, or maybe someone with some spare time could make a cool youtube video going through the steps?
Something like this:
Root the phone (Link)
Do something (Link)
...
...
All done!
Just do as the guide for the custom rom says... If you read carefully and follow the steps provided you're safe. Flash recovery first...

I asked this question over at Modaco... http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/336019/root-before-recovery/
Paul gave me a short guide which was helpful, and the ROM thread gives step by step guide...... BTW this should be in the General section not development!
I will try tonight, and follow the guides and hopefully get it to work without make any damage to the phone

In my opinion u should defenitly leave ur phone @ STOCK
Cause if u really need a step by step how-to plus you are not "smart enough" to search for your self in this forum and or the web, then i guess you will brick your phone.
Imo rooting mobile devices and/or installing custom Roms / Firmware is something for Users with some experience. And you DONT get this experience with just asking and following a step by step guide ... you have to understand what you are doing!

Nah, I cannot take this comment of you as you state it. ALL of us, I repeat ALL have been noobs somwhen and wanted/needed to be taken by the hand and helped out, so always try to guide them kindly to whatever they need and they ll be fine. The forum was a bit cleaner and smaller, when I came in, but still with a lot of nice and helpfull guys.
I think a good beginning is to read my noob how to (see signature) and then simply search whatever you need + optimus black in search up in the right corner and you ll get whatever you need

I just couldn't agree more with N00BY0815... We've all been noobs at some point and needed a helping hand to guide us to get a better understanding of what we were/are/will be doing.

[ROM Development] How to create your own ROM.

Hi guys
Enough of the bootanimations now I have done way too may and now I want to learn about building ROM. I want to design my own custom ROM, want to create it's own Kernel (just for information how to be advanced ) create own custom recovery, setting up GApps support editing updater script, build.prop everything.
I am a BIG TIME NOOB in programming so I want that I should be told every step of how to program even commands (kidding)
But I really have no idea with programming that much. All I know is to use dsixda's kitchen and few other NORMAL tweaks.
I know that there are all sorts of guides out there by great people like doomlord, mjraider etc( sorry know these two names only)
I want a full compact and complete package of links if anyone can provide me pretty please! I have searched s lot and all I found i was a big ZERO.If you are gonna say that it requires patience the test me I have a lot and dedication towards my work I'm a quick learner (proof you know as my bootanimations) so please bear with me ONCE! Provide a compelete set of BEST GUIDES OUT ON XDA FORUM and youtube video links if any that can teach how to to build a custom rom in which I can carry out themeing and other tweaks such as modding the status bar and battery icons etc. How to set my signature on ROM. EVERYTHING! I don't know much but you guys know what to cover in everything! SO PLEASE MY HUMBLEST REQUEST TO ALL JUST BEAR WITH ME ONCE I WILL BE HIGHLY OBLIGED!
Special Request to Mjraider : Sir I know you occasionally visit these threads and answer the questions, you are one of the biggest names here so please consider my request and help me once, I will be highly obliged:victory::angel:
My device
Xperia SP C5302
Rooted ** Unlocked Bootloader
Stock ROM JB 4.3
Firmware 12.1.A.205
CWM Recovery Installed

@mrjraider hero around this corner
Dude, use the guides. No one can teach step by step of everything. Just read n learn is my best advice to you.
trial and error + research is the way how i have learned it.

First of all thanks for the reply.
Secondly that is what I mentioned in the thread that I searched XDA but couldn't find a single worthy guide that can actually define andything for eg updater script, tried googling things go way over my head :silly: You guys keep posting guides tweaks and tricks. That is why I requested that you must be knowing the best guides out that have all the information, I just ask that I want a complete bunch of links of guides here in reply so that I can go out in a flow.

Thank you for replying
I know that's the actual way, I also know that it isn't easy all I ask is for that someone just guide me the path like This is the way and I'll walk on it.
Just a guidance and that can be done by giving out the links here so that I can start and get going.

I only need an cape i think??
Haha. Thanks...
As a reply:
Just try. Keep a backup safe, follow the instructions and not much can go wrong
Edit: After I reread your question:
I cannt help you much but I can see what I can do. First you need to start. I have some update.script and adb knowledge so I can help you with that. But I am not a developer (I am a nurse actually )

That's what I am talking about!
Is there some guide or something that explains update.script and it's editing not in detail if then informative enough for me to begin with.
As far as adb is concerned then for that too a guide (I asks for too many guides sorry )

Some nice guides here. Can go through them to see whether there's anything that might help you.
A guide about flashable zips/updater-script from there. See this also.
Thanks a lot man!
You really helped me!
Cheers mate!
