if you have the 1.33.0010, but after you get the 1.33.2005 spl it reverts to the first thread.
it is going to take setting up adb/fastboot to root your phone.
look in the stickies for how to set up adb

i suggest reading some more. to root rogers requires using fastboot. use the one click method (second link) to get the 1.33.2005 spl on your phone, then set up adb/fastboot then follow the fastboot commands in the first link, after that you can flash any ROM to your phone. the hardest part is setting up adb. which there it is getting your computer to recognize your phone.

do you need help finding the search option on the top of the page?
or maybe clicking the STICKY links that say
Don't Start A New Thread - Dream Questions & Answers Here!
and
***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread" [08/28]
and even
[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs
or maybe you just happened to pass up page 1 but didn't need help finding the "New Thread" link.
Look. I'm not trying to be a douche but if you want to get help then why don't you try doing it yourself instead of asking us to do it for you. If you want to mail me your G1 and I'll root it for you. Hell... I'll even partition your sd card to your liking. Just pay the s&h and $50. Otherwise you can save your time and money (and ours) by SEARCHING AND READING. You obviously know how to type so I assume you know how to read. You know how to post new threads so I'm sure you can easily click a link. Just combine searching, clicking and reading and you'll save a lot of time instead of waiting for someone to spoon feed you.

If you have no clue what your doing, then don't do it. Chances are you will mess it up. But if you really want to ROOT. THEN READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ.

Help!
Sooo I recently bought a htc dream from rogers and got it unlocked, I was reading and trying to understand how this rooting process works, but somehow ended up with t mobile g1 on my phone, it works just fine and I still access to everything, but now I cannot find a way to change it back to its normal state (firmware) or even how to root it, in its current state. I would really appreciate some help! Thanks!

Need some help (couple questions)

im a bit new to xda developers. ive scourged the forums all day via search and found no concrete help or answers.
FIRST: i dont know what adb is and because of that, idk why my nandroid backups and restore wont work. it say "push via adb" or something like that
SECOND: i also dont know how to use sdk or whatever it is.
i need a detailed walkthrough of some sorts because the search on this forum sucks and did not help me at all

*COUGH*google search "ADB HOW TO" *COUGH*

not to highjack the thread, but whats it mean when recovery starts prompting you to exctecute command via adb/sdk? i noticedbmy bluecarebear is TRUELY angry with me, so much hes not wiping my ext or dalvk!
nandroid works, backup and restore
factory data reset works
but wiping doesnt.
help?

Well using the xda search "ADB" the first result is a thread that leads you to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
How is that difficult? Everything you need to know about the ADB et al is there
As far as the sdk is concerned, your hero is rooted so it is on your pc already if you followed the traditional process. Otherwise it is there in the link as well.
Seriously I am not trying to be a smart ass but too many people give up before even trying.

if you dont use app2sd then ext means nothing, trying to wipe dalvik normally yells at you but it should be alright

I would try reflashing your recovery image.
I had trouble with the green one a while back, I changed images a couple times for other reasons. Back on green cb now with no problems since flashing over the problematic image.

im not up on most of the geek terminology or whatever it is, in other words the guide here wasnt helpful, but since im rooted, i guess i dont need it(sdk) or whatevr. i still cant figure out why i cant make any nandroid backups or restore currently stored ones

... I'm speechless, or I guess in this case typeless
*edit- +1 On what subliminalurge says in the next post. This stuff is not hard to learn. Either commit yourself to a couple weekends of focused enlightenment or make your peace with the stock setup. Almost any of us would be happy to help... after you take the first couple steps and learn some of the FUNDAMENTALS.
Go to the "GUIDE WIKI" and read read read, when you start becoming familiar with some of the "geek terminology" come back and we'll help connect some of the dots.

Also not trying to be a smartass, but come on dude. If you're not willing to hit google and learn a little bit, then you are probably already in over your head just with what you've done to your phone so far.
I STRONGLY recommend you find a way to be happy with stock phones. Otherwise, I see a large collection of very expensive paperweights in your future.

root help please

im new to rooting the vivid. whats the easiest way to just root the thing. is there a one click. can someone help me thanks

Not really! You have to unlock bootloader to root. Thats not hard but it is drawn out. There are defined guides and tools to get you there. READ READ READ! Then go slowly and check each step.
I ended up using a pre-rooted OTA ICS ROM and eventually got ROOT. Nothing else would work for some reason.
But your experience may be smoother. Just don't give up! And ask questions politely if you get stuck.

I was using that and the AIO and Supertool, neither helped me get rooted.
Flashing pirateghost's OTA ICS pre-rooted ROM did it in the end.
But that was what I was referring the OP to look for and read up on.

Can i find the pirateghost rom here?

Unlock Bootloader, Flash WCX-Recovery, and then Root from within recovery

Nope. He departed XDA after incompetent noobs drove him crazy.

[Q] Need help updating ATT GS5 After Unrooting (towelroot unroot via SuperSu)

Now that I'm uprooted and it doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to reroot, I'd at least like to be able to update to the new 5.0 when it rolls out, and on top of that it keeps popping up every day that I have an update available, currently 4.4.2
Please help. I'm pretty good with stuff like this, but no genius by any means, so the more detailed the info the better. I've heard that I might need to use ODIN to put a factory image on there but can't find one for the AT&T GS5, only Version. Thanks, and again, I would greatly appreciate any and all help, advice, and tips. Great forum btw!

What he said... and look closely, there are a few ways listed in that post.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help. I pretty much followed the first set of instructions and re-rooted my phone, which is good, but I'd much rather be able to update my phone without the update crashing every time... But learning and playing and having fun, so hopefully I'll get this figured out soon. Thanks guys

ok, or you can root your device the right way, within 3-4 minutes. where is the guidance in using a tool kit? considering you learn absolutely zero from it, and toolkits occasionally mess things up as well.

Very true. But he indicated he was a novice so the toolkit would guide him through the process

tool kits are not for novices, at all. they do not guide you through anything. toolkits are fine to use, when you know whats going on. but when you dont, you arent taught a single thing.

DO NOT use the toolkit till unlocked and know how to use manual fastboot. Will not know why toolkit failed and will not know how to recover as it will take fastboot to recover. I did Odin also. It was a dependable tool. Fastboot is the old tried and true Nexus, HTC tool. Virtually unbrickable. The toolkit can brick you and will require fastboot knowledge to fix. Fastboot update only takes 2-3 minutes once set up and know what you are doing.

Just to echo what everyone else is saying, toolkits are great but only use them if you understand what they're doing. Using fastboot the first time.round is essential for learning.
All.threads are in nexus 6 general > sticky roll-up
Including my adb and fastboot thread,. Which is good for noobs.

HaHaa. I actually had more problems and failed flashes with Odin and "the toolkit". Never had a fail with fastboot.

Toolkits.... Not. Do it manually with all the proven guides posted!

There are already advices given by real experts.
I humble add some " why's " not to start rooting for the first time with a toolkit.
A. There are so many options; it easy to make a mistake.
B. Toolkits use scripts and once started you are not fast enough to stop the process when you do something wrong.
C. When you know how to use command lines
with adb and fastboot, you will be prepared for toolkits.
D. You will find here complete rooting guidelines in sticky threads. Read them.
Nice rooting!

Thanks everyone for overwhelming support read half of the thread will do rest of the work tomorrow some assignments to do
