9 steps to upgrading.
1) You need to read the posts in this forum about upgrading.
2) You also need to know what kind of wizard you have (G3 or G4).
3) You need to read some more
4) You need to choose a ROM
5) You need to read some more

ROFLMFAO!!! Too funny...
but...
Sage advice!!!
XDA can help if you too are willing to work, and there are sooooo many tutorials here, that reading really IS the best way to begin.

I recently responded to another similar thread from someone new to this...read it, it pretty much says how to upgrade... etc, and read everything else you can get your hands on...

Sometimes us new jacks need a hand to guide us through. Everyone was new at one time or another. Thanks akashatrega, I have read the other thread and I will try to flash my rom again.

Hope it helps...not to be rude, I just didn't feel like typing it twice, so I hope you were able to find the answer in the other thread I mentioned helpful.
In all seriousness, I remember when I was new and begged for guidance, everyone kept telling me to read...and I was like wtf...f*ck you very much but I need help, not a lecture to read...I later discovered after much reading, that xda gets MANY similar questions, and has answers for them all...but one must read to find them. It was a hard pill to swallow when I wanted a straight answer right then, but in reading the threads, I learned so much more than I would have, had someone just answered me. Not to say (for all the "old tymers") that it is OK to just say Read the threads, we should all help...but sometimes reading the threads really IS the best way to learn about the device. I still read the threads in hopes that one day I can attain the geek-god status of many here.

Too true but sometimes if just pointed to the right thread (like you did) I can read it and figure it out. I read through "The Guide" and "How to flash a ROM" and thought I had it figured out until I "flashed" and I still had my original ROM on it instead of BlackDiamond. Once I read the other thread you posted to I realized I hadn't unlocked like I thought I did. I am now flashing BlackDiamond as I type this and will see if I got it right.

Flash worked great!

Just rooted my G1 to RC-29

I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?

look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk

If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

It sounds like you have very little clue what you're doing. Check out the links in my sig. Read. Then come back and ask questions.

i have NO idea one what to do...
ALL i have on my g1 is the rooted RC-29, i WOULD LIKE to update it along with the firmware but i have no idea where to start. ill try your links in your sig and I'll post further if i dont understand...

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.
p.s. the very first sticky in this q&a forum shows you what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679

[Q] Regarding flashing SGT

Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323
I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.
Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process.

Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.
BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...
One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...
Cheers....

if I follow this, would i be able to have HSDPA on my galaxy tab tmobile here in asia?

better instructions please?

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.

If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

Chill out guys, damn, you all sound like some grumpy old men. I've been in PPC's when they had B/W screens back in the 90's and I don't get this angry when a new guy ask me some questions. We all had to start out somewhere.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.

Can anyone Point me in the direction of a good tut for rooting LGV40

Thank you so much. I'm going to check that link out. I really appreciate it, man.

Thats only the euro lg v40 which has LG's support for bootloader unlock. You can use this guide dont know it will work because its new. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/development/unlock-lg-v40-via-9008-root-t-mobile-t4042207

I have the LM-V405 through sprint.. Any suggestions?

First, crossflash to the US version. For the reasons why, look at this thread. Follow this thread's directions for the crossflash. Use the No Root directions, as you'll root your device in a later section. Note that once you crossflash, you CANNOT go back to a Sprint KDZ because Sprint does not make their KDZs publically available.
Second, unlock the bootloader via the link that @KouaV1 provided.
Third, once your bootloader is unlocked, install TWRP following the guide here.
Fourth, install Magisk via TWRP.
Be patient. Nobody gets it all right their first go around. The device is picky. As long as you have 9008 mode and LGUP, you can always go back to the beginning and start over.

Not to be negative, but, there is not a way to root the t-mo version and it's pretty well known there never will be one.
There's one thing about LG phones that new people learn, sometimes the hard way, that is the t-mo version is **different** then all the other versions. It's mentioned in all the threads re rooting, cross flashing, etc etc etc.
They say something like; "Works for all versions, except T-Mobile!!"
sorry to tell you, but that's pretty much an unmodifiable phone.
