[Q] Rooting and Me

Hi Guys,
Did have a search but I'm not sure i speak the same language as some of the posts I tried to read
Woke up this morning and thought I'd have a fiddle with my Nexus. I'd used Androot to get root. I downloaded ROm Manager....flashed Clockwork recovery, and flashed a few roms....
Here are my questions:
Is that it? Is that how to Flash ROMs?
When I flashed FRF91 Stock Nexus ROM super user wouldn't give me root...ideas?
What's the most frequently used ROM, and can I flash it this way
finally...Am I missing anything or is that all I need to do?
Cheers for help. Not a smartphone noob, but seems I'm an Android noob

I know it's a noob couple of questions but if somebody could help I'd be very appreciative. Thanks

Read the forums. Then ask very specific questions.
2.2.1 was released to block root exploits by U. Androot. Search for rageagainstthecage in the forums or more simply "root F****" please replace asterisks with actual build.
PS: Is there more to Modding? That's subjective. Objectively ...post issues so devs know.

Basically I was asking if the way in which I was flashing was correct but yeah you did help. Will look for the 2.2.1 rooted build

And you managed to post your first thread in the most inapproriate section you could possibly find ... this section is about ACCESSORIES while your (badly formatted and colored) post should be in the Q&A section.

OK, good to know its your 1st post, BUT
you managed to post it with the worst font i have ever seen, and its seems you r eye's failed to spot HERE. Upgrading isn't an accessory. This isa question for here
hope you now understand what you did wrong in posting this (in this section)
and good luck

There are a lot of tutorial here, just take a look in Android Development and enjoy yourself.

I wish you had used a better font color.
Anyways , take a look at this for all noob questions about rooting/custom ROMS etc etc

I am suggesting that you look at the development section and find your answer there

how can my new XL get root in 4.0.3

hi everyone
recently i have bought a new sensation xl and it's updated to android 4.0.3 and htc sense 3.6
and i just want to delete the unnecessary apps build in my phone internally. so i decided to root ( i dunno what's the difference between s-off and root ) but i dun want to flash a new rom as my old phone desire s was bricked to burn the chip.

FFS use the search button and do just a little bit of reading before asking questions like this.... Every forum I've been on has a tutorial on how to do just about anything you want to that particular phone. If you'd have looked you would have found the answer without having to post a new thread in the 'development section' and like anonymous_1997 said this is the development section, what has your post got to do with development.
Learn to post in the right section and learn to read the current threads because the answers are in there... what you have done is just plain lazy

sorry
i really did searched and i found there are root tutorial but seems no 4.0.3 case.
i afraid it'd be different to root in 4.0.3.
so sorry about this

I added cool smileys to this message... if you don't see them go to: http://s.exps.me

Ics root is the most easy.. if you on 1.28 hboot.. just go to unlimited.io and flash recovery from there.. reboot to recovery.. and flash root zip from 3 musketeer thread.. or just go to chainfire website.. and it done..

[Q] Reinstating warranty questions!

Hello!
Let me just say I have been long overdue with registering here. I have been looking for help threads here for about 6 months on my Galaxy S3 phone and other questions. Awesome forum and really loving it.
And also, if this question is somehow "overdone" (I can see it being a question at a regular basis) OR posted in the wrong forum. Then sorry! I am however very thankful for a reply to it, and if this thread needs to be moved then go ahead. (And if it needs to be taken down, I would be very thankful for a reply)
I installed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305N a while back. First I used clockworkmod to fix a loader, rooted and all that stuff. Then I installed the only Cyanogenmod I could find. (It wasn't an officially supported one at the time, I have no idea how that rom is doing now however)
I then reformatted everything to the original loader and rom. It looks mostly the same as it did before, but with some new features.
However, I need to send the phone to repair. The battery is defect and the charger seems to drain its battery.
A phone support guy that I know, told me that it is possible to see a "history" on all the roms and roots and etc, that has been done to the phone. In order to make sure that nobody reloads the warranty Rom and sends it off to repair. Is this true?
If so, how can I fix this? Is there any way to just reboot the phones so called history? Or did he just tell me this to scare me off?
Is there any way I can test my Samsung if it is eligable for warranty, without sending it off to their repair? (And do they check all phones for custom roms?)
Thanks for any help! Sorry for the LONG thread.
I am not that good with computers and programming. Could be worth mentionning! I managed to load the rom through tutorials, that's it. =P

Thanks for the reply, but where in the general forum can I find this guide?
Edit: also How do I hide any possible traces of having had a custom rom? Thanks for any help.. Or URLs with help!

Thank you very very much!
In fact, thanks to all good replies. The triangle thing was what I was looking for! I am a total rookie but I feel as though I learned quite a lot. Perhaps I should root my new phone now. "Haha".
No but, I actually got one question.
How do I know if it really is my official rom? I read somewhere, that every telephone-operator has their own Rom. So just picking one of the Roms might not work?
How do I know if the source is correct? I'm a bit concerned that I might format the phone, send it in, and they notice that I flashed with the wrong Stock Rom.
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305N with the operator Tele2 in Sweden. Sammobile.com has 3 stock Roms available (One only for members though) Which one is correct? Or does it not matter?
Thanks for any help again.
Many apologies if I am a bad googler. This is one of my first issues I have never been able to Google my way out of ;P
EDIT:
GT-I9305N Sweden 2013 March I9305NXXBMC2 I9305NCOVBMC2
GT-I9305N Nordic countries 2013 January 4.1.2 I9305NXXBMA2 I9305NNEEBMA2
GT-I9305N Sweden 2012 September 4.1.1 I9305NXXALIA I9305NCOVALI7
Those three are my result. How do I know which one I should go with?
EDIT2:
I was looking around a bit. I think the right one would be 2013 March (Top) right? Thing is, I find another one through a Swedish forum with a thread just like this one.. and it puzzles me what to pick. Does it matter at all? I used the one from the Swedish thread a while back, and I noticed it differed a bit from the Rom I had on the phone from purchase... Is it best to go with one from Sammobile? (And if so, which one.. )

Okay my friend! I checked it out...
On http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305N are only 3 firmwares for the I9305N
BMC2 is for Sweden and 4.2.1
BMA2 is for Finland and also 4.2.1 but
ALIA is for Sweden an 4.1.1!
Now is the question with which firmware your phone was coming?
I guess, my friend, I don't know the answer... you could try each firmware...
I'm sorry, I really don't know!

From what provider did you buy the phone (after you know that search the internet for the firmwares it provides to your phone).You only need to search a bit then you will find the rom you need. Gl.
