Hi, UK newbie here. inherited the above tablet and I cannot bypass the log-in from a previous owner. Unable to reroot using the power/volume/enter buttons. I appreciate its maybe been asked here a few too many times, but where to start, really.
Can someone advise -simply -how i do this- Maybe using a PC? or whatever's easy and foolproof. useful replies and links appreciated, even a link to an already answered identical question. First time on this forum, so cheers in advance for the advice

First of all, hello. I am basically a very, VERY huge newbie that just bought an Samsung Galaxy S I9000B and I would like to start to understand specific terms used in this forums (for example, XXJBA ROM, rooting). Can anyone give me a starting guide about this ? I intend to update my phone to android 2.3.3 but I don't know if it's possible (it is a customized one from a Brazilian Carrier called VIVO and if possible I want to remove everything). So I don't know even where to start. Any guides, specific threads, advices, tips, anything to start ?
Thank you,
Amid
Download an app from the market called 'root and me'. It's a great guide for beginners

Okay, thanks. Let me read all those threads and guides than I will be back for more. Thank you again.
BTW, not wanting to rush things but very curious: will I be able to update my phone I9000B to Android 2.3.3 ? Will the B in the end of the model destroy my hopes ? Just a quick answer, don't need to detail it at this point.
Hello again,
I've read the suggested threads and some other material, included the root and me app information. Now I know that the first step to clean my SGS is to root it. The application don't exactly specify which method should I use: SuperOneClick or Z4root. I understand the SuperOneClick is the old method, more dangerous and Z4Root is a new app that does the job but required USB debugging or something like that. So here is the next question (this way, I will be able to create a stick for all newbies, just by tracing my steps): Which method should I use ? Repeating myself, I have a Samsung Galaxy S, Model Number: GT-I9000B, Firmware version 2.2, Vivo Carrier (from Brazil), Baseband Version I9000BBVJJPD, Build number FROYO.VJJPD.
Thank you very much again.

Hi again guys,
No answer yet ? Really ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I in the wrong forum (I was directed to this forum from androidz.com.br) ? I've tried to find the answers searching other topics but the search function is not very useful in forums. Also, there is no sticky here to help newbies.
The reason I was asking here is because I can't find answers in other places. I don't dare to simply trial and error, which is what I normally do when I have multiple choices, because I am afraid of bricking my phone; It's not that I am lazy to look for answer in other places; I simply can't find them.
Can someone help a newbie or at least point me to an updated guide ?
Thank you very much,
Amid
Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one

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?

For starters, head over to the Galaxy s2 forums and read some threads there.
Hey mate, you are in the wrong section. Go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204 and have a look. There are a number of threads about ICS there that should be able to help.

There are instructions, faq and etc all over the forum. A simple search and careful reading is all thats needed (even if you are a 'nob'). If you cant do that, its just better not to root or flash anything on your phone since you may just end up ruining your phone.

Get the phone and slowly you will get familiar to it.
I hope ur talking about the rooted apps here,that would be no problem once u get easy with the handset.
Piracy is not a good thing..developers put in a lot of time and effort in their work,respect it and pay for it.
Rooting n modding is not for Cr****. Rooting is to just get extra privilege on note, for making it more customise your device.
and note, such things(Cra**/Piracy) are banned over XDA
Ok, thanks guys.. thats what i mean, the rooted apps.. But do you guys suggest to me that I should have my phone rooted, once i got my phone? Or is it just ok to leave it as is? Thanks!

The phone's great as is. If you're a newb, like I was when I bought my Note (and probably still am), I'd recommend sticking with stock for a bit until you familiarize yourself with everything your phone can do.
I bought a Note when it released in the beginning of December and I still haven't rooted my phone. Although I'm a little conservative that way.
One thread you might really want to read is the Tips and Tricks thread.
Ok, thanks for the reply again! I guess I'll just have to get one first, explore it, read the forums. Then see what happens then. How about the ROMS?

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 4G Telstra and was going to root it.
Can someone please explain the process to unroot it once an update is released?
I know 4.1.2 jellybean is going to be released soon and i saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066767&page=3 but am unsure if it is branded or stock?
Also what is the best application to make a full backup of all apps and data?
Cheers
Stop wasting space&time and start using search button& brain instead.... Dozen of same useless threads asking same things over and over again......
Seriously??? It's not so complicated...
My advise: create One thread and name it "I'm a total Noob and have million questions" and post all your issues there....
Point taken but could have been said a bit nicer.
