Just saw this recently gaining momentum in the Galaxy S2 Thread, thought of contributing some RootNerd jokes here too as i think we need some laughter on this side of the forums.
Post a funny conclusion to the sentence.
Have fun
Originally coming up from the Epic 4G, Galaxy S2 and HTC Rezound threads!
Examples
- You know you're rooted when someone asks if rooting is like jailbreaking their iPhone and you laugh in their face.
- You know you're rooted when you spend more time on the XDA forums than with your family.
- You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone.

*grin*
Thanks Designgears and youareme7 and others that assisted in this endeavor I wasn't made aware of.
It has been a refreshing experience dealing with XDA and their Devs. I only hope future contributers are lucky enough to encounter someone as genuine and intelligent as Designgears. This interwebz would be a better place for it. Look forward to getting more phones for some rooting fun with ya'll!
Also A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to those who've donated to me and others here. What may be a small token of your appreciation speaks volumes to the type of community members we have here! And receiving money is never a bad thing!
Well that was anti-climatic. lol
So what's next on your plate? Encrypted bootloader by Sunday? (I know it might not be encrypted, just making a point.)
No joke the NSA couldn't crack the boot loader.
Grats Hope further development will come! and no Problems will arise.

Speaking of the bootloader, DG, will you and Getaphixx be able to put your heads together and find out if the bootloader is locked, or will you actually need to have one in hand to play with before you can check.
Does this mean Froyo built-in wireless tethering can be enabled? And junk apps can be removed? I don't have any experience with Moto so I am not sure if an unlocked boot loader is required for those.

Im amazed that they have already got root for this! I really cant wait to see what gets cooked up for the Atrix in the coming weeks im super excited!
What method was used for root...rageagainsthecage?
I had faith presale... lol I knew this thing was going to have everyone on here's attention.
I will transfer funds to my paypal and go 50ea. as well. ROCK ON GUYS!
Can anyone quickly advise if it would be feasible (if the bootloader is locked) to build a distributed computing XDA app so all us non-chefs could help out in that way?
Make that 75ea. I'm so excited. lol. (bank trans takes 3-5 days so prob end of next week).
I'm confused as to why no one knows if the boot loader is locked or not if there's a rooted one in the wild? please be gentle I'm noob-ish, I've been installing custom roms for years but I read what I need to, in order to get that phone done how I want it then usually drop out again so I'm not very familiar with all the processes going on behind the curtain.
I recieved my One on Friday, and been debating whether or not to root since I cut the seal.
If you rooted, convince me.
If you kept it stock convince me to.

LOL Definitely a NOOB, less that 50 post is a noob, besides HTC doesn't care what you do with your phone, In fact.. they give you the tools to unlock the bootloader on htcdev.

I rooted after a week, but I could personally care less if you root yours or not. If you aren't new, then you should already know what to do.
Personally I think it is a little deeper than the question you pose. To me it is all about pushing Android itself to better places and thus having wonderful developers in here doing just that. Supporting the developers as they help mold Android into the best it can be is what it is all about. HTC and other manufacturers do take note of what is going on by the developers on this website and thus, it is helping to mold Android to better things. That is just my humble feelings on that.
In saying all of that, I have not even rooted yet...LOL!!! I always root and support the devs but I will feel way more comfortable when that 4.2 update hits this phone to do so. I thought we had it for a sec there with that first update. Not real sure why I feel this way other than feeling all warm a cozy and to settle in on a particular rom and kernnel. I am not what you would call a flash junkie so when I flash something I like it to be at least based on the latest Android version if possible. And I am a dummy at this dev stuff so there ya go my 2 cents. :silly:

You really shouldn't be asking us... The bigger question is will root benefit you? Everyone uses their device differently... It's not up to us if it will be better for YOU.

THANKS! That is the type of answer I wanted!
Anyways, I ended up rooting and am LOVING it! :laugh:
I saw this in another thread and I thought it had some great similarities to what we root and rom flashers go through.
Just add your own funny conclusion to "You know you're rooted when...."
Have fun!
Examples:
You know you're rooted when you miss multiple calls from friends and family and they ask why and you tell them that you must have been "in recovery". They don't understand... We DON'T have a drug or addiction problem!"
You know you're rooted when you spend more time on XDA forums than with your family or on Facebook/Twitter.
You know you're rooted when you never have to clear out your sms inbox because it happens everytime you flash a new rom.
You know you're rooted when your wife or girlfriend doesn't understand why you spend so much time "fixing" a brand new phone.
So what's your best "You know you're rooted when...."

You know your rooted when you laugh at anything that will be posted by others in this thread because odds are its happened to you!

You know you're rooted when you wake up at 1am phone in hand and works!
You know you're rooted when you tell some random person at the bar who asks how your day was and you say you still dont have 422. They respond with don't you mean 420?
You see that they have an Iphone and glassy eyes and just walk away.
You know you're rooted when: Your brand new phone works less than a 3 year old HTC Hero.
You know your rooted when you have a brand new paperweight on your desk.

You know you're rooted when someone gets a new device and says "NO. You can't touch it, it works!"
You know you're rooted when you flash a AOSP room and get bricked.
You know you're rooted when you don't have much needed warranty on your month-old phone
You know you're rooted when you get very excited about getting something working, and you talk about rooting so much your friends are starting to understand you.
You know you're rooted when you find yourself explaining what a ROM is to everyone who checks out your phone.
You know you're rooted when people ask you about blink feed and what it looks like while you're running an AOSP rom and have to go through the hassle of explaining why you don't have blink feed.

You know you're rooted when you've resigned yourself to ever getting that one particular thing to work ever again.
you know youre rooted when you flash a gsm rom on a cdma phone before reading that they arent compatible lol

So I've done a lil searching and can't quite figure out what I want to know....
Lil history on what happened today:
My S4 screen cracked and I was attempting to replace it and broke the digitizer so called up Asurion and they said the S4's aren't in stock so they are giving me the One as a comparable replacement....
I got the Thunderbolt when it first came out and ran it till I got the S3... not gonna lie the Thunderbolt was revolutionary but the S3 was epically revolutionary then I got the S4 after Sammy/VZ put out that update that locked the phone down hard and I've learned to get used to Hyperdrive and have started to love it but I still miss all the flashing etc so I'm taking the opportunity to give HTC another shot essentially to see which device I will get next the S5 or One(2)?
So my question to the One community is how do things work here? How is flashing? How much better are these custom roms than stock? Can I even flash bc I went 3 months b4 safestrap cracked it for us on the S4..?
If it is gonna be possible to flash what do ya'll recommend? Favorites? 2nd's? Link to process for rooting etc?
Thanks ya'll!

You can forget everything that you've learned with the Sammy. Flashing is a breeze on the one and development is amazing. There's stickies in the Q&A section on unlocking, rooting, and flashing a recovery. You will need to read and follow instructions. We expect everyone to carry their own weight around here, and we don't do a lot of hand holding, the development community is too big for that.
Also, the One is nothing like the Thunderbolt was. Really it's like comparing the Thunderbolt to a flip phone, that was a long time ago in the evolution of technology, I loved the Bolt, but it's apples and oranges with the One. If you're considering a Verizon One, you will want to check specifically the Verizon One section, as the development will be more limited as the rest of the world is on a different. That's not to say that there aren't things in here that will work on the One and apply to the One, but Verizon people may give you a different opinion as they are on a device with small market share as far as consumers and developers.
If you want to learn about development and flashing on your device I advise against purchasing from a company working so hard to eliminate the unlocking of their device, and go with a company that's more geared towards an active development community.
Well yes I am with VZ so it will be a VZ One and yes they tuck me off with all this lockdown garbage! So is their a specific vz HTC one forum or is it all in this sub forum? Im going to start doing research on how to work it all... I appreciate all your help and advice!

Long time xda fan, first time poster. So, I have a bone stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCUEOC1 running lollipop 5.0. For about a year now I've been contemplating rooting it but I'm worried I'm gonna jack my phone up. Besides replacing my lcd screen I haven't done really too much with it. This will be my first attempt at rooting any phone and I wanted to ask a few questions to get some clarification and direction.
First, what currently is the easiest way to root a droid for someone that doesn't speak a lick of tech?
I've read 10 different ways but if anyone would know, its you guys. Does Kingo work with what I have?
What do I need to do prior to root? I.e, what do I need to download?
Also, could you recommend a decent ROM? Whats a good backup app that will actually work?
Lastly, I have a game ive been playing for a couple years and I dont sign in, it recognizes my phone or something, its on my sd card but will i lose it when I wipe my phone? Thanks in advance for your time.

I would never discourage some one from rooting their phone, however, you have chosen a hard place to start. You need to become familiar with odin, and /or safetrap. There are great instructions already posted, but unless you have a working knowledge of Odin, you are going to cause yourself a great deal of headache.
I suggest finding a friend who has done it, and have them walk you through it the first time.
By the way, I have been rooting Android phone since the original Motorola Droid. And I have this one rooted. But I not so easy for people new to the process.
Any way you go, I hope it works great for you!

Thanks for the concern. I used to be pretty smart. Ive watched and read a ton about odin and I guess people just make it look super easy.

Im just hoping I can find some help here. Thanks again
