Where do I start? I'm totally newb and firmware and stuff like that. What am I suppose to do? What is rooting? What are the chances of totally screwing up my phone? And what is the lag fix? I basically need help with everything and I also want to know what you can do to a rooted phone and what are benefits? I already know the cons
Thanks, any help is appreciated
Oh, and if I get Froyo or whatever, will I be able to still get TMO updates if the official Froyo ever comes out?
Read the sticky!!!
Oh snap, I'm extremely sorry, I did not see it there. It said "Tips and Tricks" and I automatically thought it wouldn't go in-depth. Thanks for reminding me on how to use the forums properly

The chances of something going wrong with JUST rooting your phone are very low. The only thing that can go wrong is if you are hardware locked and still attempt to root, then you can **** up your phone. So make sure you are NOT hardware locked. and you will be fine bro
* When i first started getting into the xda thing, i was right in your place. And the Vibrant Bible in the android dev section really helped me out. Just look at everything in there.
*If you are only rooted, then you will still get OTA's
how do you know if you have a "hardware lock" vibrant?

Well, you can't get into recovery via 3 button combo..
But there is a fix for that! Lol
So, I'm not quite sure I have the slightest idea about anything on here but I've checked for about an hour and haven't found a thread like this sooo...
I just downloaded a pretty kick ass WM6 from somewhere and I'm a little confused as to what was downloaded. I was expecting maybe a ROM or something but I got a bunch of folders. How am I supposed to get all of the folders in ROM format? Oh, by the way I have an at&t 8525 and I already have 6 on it but I bought it from ebay and well, it's missing some things. I wanted to put 6 back on there and start out fresh. Please help I've been trying to understand any of this poop for about 6 hours now and I'm not getting anywhere.
Sorry if this is super ultra noob, It's just I can't figure this out and I really need some help. Sorry if somehow I missed a thread containing something about this. I looked so yeah. haha Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh and mrvanx is the only thing I could find that would help but it's down so I'm SOL here D:
idk if this is a ? or a statement but is there anyway there will be a stock JB ROM soon? i would love to use stock without sense to check it out. not a developer by any means, but couldn't someone port it somehow or something?

Well,your question was very stupid and my answer was accurate.
Deck is still getting cm9 running so I'm sure when he desides he will switch to the jelly version when CM does.

The number 1 thing developers hate is when people ask questions like this. When something is ready, it will be released. I'm sure you're not the only person lurking around these forums that wants stock jelly bean on their device. Let them do their thing and be patient. Hell, they are still baking stock ICS roms, so JB will take a little while longer. Keep being pushy and I'm sure you will end up on someone's sh*t list. Just giving you a heads up.

and its people like you guys like get there a*s kicked cause they just like to run the trap. im not one to talk trash but when someones a smarta*s to me over a simple question then all bets are off. it was a simple question that anyone who had any info on if a build is coming could have answered. exactly the answers i got from you kids i could of gotten from a baby. aka your being a smarta*s so whatever...
You come in here asking a question that is religiously flamed for and hope to not get flamed? Wow. Everyone knows not to ask for ETAs, and if you wanna talk so much smack back how about you port it over yourself.
Posting in a soon-to-be-closed thread! :victory:
Also OP, sorry you got flamed! I would guess a ROM will be out at the latest by the end of 2012 or such. I'm no dev, though. Patience, padawan!
Expect a working SDK port by the end of the month or a little ways into August. For the real deal, I'd say a few weeks after a device with jelly bean is released

as the other guys say this type of question is the few of the ones you dont ask. when a dev puts it out, it will be announced. and im sure a few devs who love senseless roms are rushing their little fingers to put out the code for it, hell the HTC ONE X international got it last night, but i know that because i like to keep up to date on my phones.
but i dunno, i gave you 2 answers and you weren't happy, here is a 3rd.

I was just giving you a heads up about the way you were asking. I don't bash people here, but some others will without hesitation. You, like all the rest of us, have and are wondering when things will get ported over and become available, but we all must be patient. The devs hate when you ask questions like this because it makes them feel rushed, and when they feel rushed they either take longer on the development of whatever project or they completely abandon it all together. Again, wasn't trying to be a smart ass to you dude, just didn't want to see you get flamed here. Like the rest of us, just be patient.
There is nothing wrong with a question like this. What I understood from the question was the OP was asking if there are any plans on it which is a legitimate and friendly question. Most question that are "If" are okay but "when" is not so good. I am wondering IF we are going to have it one day versus I am wondering WHEN they will have one. No issues with this question at all.

first off i didnt mean to hit the "thanks" button i hit it on accident going for the "quote" button. but idk who your talking about because if you could read you would of seen that i wasn't asking for an ETA. I was asking if there will be and if its even possible to port something from another phone like the "gnex" over to our phone. and last if you would read some more of this thread you would see that i wasn't the one running my mouth so dont come at me like that saying i was.
Doesn't matter if the op was right or wrong in asking his question. Let it be...
I will never understand why people have to flame someone/be a smart ass behind their computer on these forums. You can say whatever you want concerning the original post, but it doesn't change the fact that your response was unwelcome and completely worthless. If the op was wrong, let it be or let an admin reprimand him. I don't see any of you "flamers" with admin status. No matter what you say, your response was worse than the original post.
To the OP, jellybean will get here when it does. Will it get here soon? I hope so! Honestly, no one knows, there are too many factors that will effect the timing of a JB stock rom release. Rest certain that it will arrive eventually.

Just be the bigger person. No need to get all fired up. You will see rude people around here and in every forum. No matter the question rude and smartass comments are not called for.
This is a very new phone and it will likely get 4.1. So I am sure the one you want will end up here it will just take some time.
As for not being a dev thats fine. Look up the source for it and some threads on building AOSP roms and give making an AOSP a try. Who knows maybe you'll like it.
Good luck and dont mind the rude ones here.
Also porting from the Gnex would likely be not an easy task but I am sure he probably has a git for it.
yea actually i have been trying to learn code and script and all the aosp stuff. its crazy hard lol but i know man ur always gonna have haters on here that's for sure. but thanks for the comment.
