[Q] Newbie guide for Galaxy S I9000B:

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

Looking for absolute beginner guide

hi all, me again.
I was wondering where I could find a ABSOLUTE NOOB FRIENDLY beginner guide to XDA. Where words as Kernel, Rom, Recovery, Root etc are all explained. What it is etc.
It's for a friend who just started joining XDA, but It seems i can't find a proper thread for him And it's strange cause I found a thread once like that when I started but know I don't find a proper one.
Anyone knows where exactly?

Troubles rooting an accent speed X2

Hey guys i'm new to XDA honestly and i wanna root my accent speed X2
is Magisk any useful
Otherwise Is there any method to root it beside kingroot because it seem to not work
Thanks in advance

Welcome to XDA.
There's not a lot of information to be found for that device, but if it's anything close to stock Android you should be able to use one of the two installation methods, as documented here:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
If you run into any kind of trouble along the way, you might be able to find some information here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk
If you need further info on other details, both the XDA search feature and your search engine if choice are great tools, as most things probably have been covered before. Of course, if you can't get things up and running, asking for help on the forums is always an option. Just make sure to ask in the right places so you don't postout of topic. For general Android stuff there are several forums available, as an example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck.

Thank you didgeridoohan for help you know that i'm new and don't know proper places to ask for anything tho imma go post a thread in the right place Thank you very much

No worries. If you have Magisk questions you are of course always welcome to post here in the Magisk forum.
And please do share if you get things running.
