Ok so this is my first android phone and i managed to root it without any trouble i used the method called "super one click" and everything went well , and i know its rooted since there is a app called "superruser" and i installed "setcpu" just to prove my self its rooted now my question is what do i do next?? i have no how or to get and install roms , i am total noob when it comes to this stuff. so can some one tell me how to get a rom and install themes and etc??
Thanks in advance
If only someone had written guides, geared to the noob... hmm...
ha, check my signature man. Noob Root Guide.
Since you are on 2.2, you will need either the modified 3E, or odin to jfd and root with the update.zip.
fyi, this thread I reference is stickied to the top of this forum. You SHOULD have read it before posting, obligatory, had to say it.
Also. Youtubes.
When I first started it was complicated until I found the vids that I could do a step by step along with to hold my hand through. avoid akaskriller.
Nextgen. Overstock. Tacos. Awesome.

Im no pro. But I would say the first thing you should do is go to the development section and read the vibrant bible. You don't want to be on here in a day or two saying omg I bricked my phone what do I do. Just read through the sections and it has the answers.

This is my favorite noob guide so far. Link
Make sure you follow the steps on backing up everything. You can never be too careful. These phones are really hard to brick, but you can easily loose a lot of data if you haven't backed up the phone.
Just go to the bible in the stickys, it has all the info, read everything twice if u have to

I am new to the forum and I am looking for the easiest way to root my fascinate sch-i500 phone. It has Froyo 2.2.1 currently. Any help is appreciated.
No worries. Use Z4 root, its a one click method which will do what you want rather easily. I posted a link below to a thread which includes the apk file and instructions on how to use it.

If you just want to root, find a one click root app. If you want to flash roms :
One tip: Read the stickies in the Development section. Your better off knowing what your doing instead of blindly following our advice. Sorry if this comes as a bit of a downer, but its for your own good.

^ Yup, he's right...The z4 root apk I posted does work 99.9% of the time without a hitch but sometimes things don't always go as planned and you may end up having to Odin because of it. Like TheSonicEmerald recommended read though the stickies and see what it will take to get your samsung fascinate back up and running again if something were to go wrong. It will save you a lot of time when it does happen, and believe me, if your going to be flashing roms and such things WILL go wrong. This isn't to scare you or anything, it is to assure you if anything goes wrong the forum is here to help. I've learned this one word of advice over my time here and thats, "YOU CAN NEVER BRICK AN ANDROID PHONE."I hope this helped you out a little. Happy modding.
I'm not new to rooting at all, I have rooted several devices. A friend of mine just got a Fascinate and all the info I'm finding seems old and depricated. Will this z4root still work? Is it simple enough for a newb to do? She really just wants root for the wifi tether for root users.
I couldn't agree more. I read a ton of stickies and it paid off big time
Hello everyone,
I had like to know how I can root my phone, now you may treat me as whatever you like, however, I just got this phone and am looking for a thread which will explain the rooting process of this phone. I am a very quick and fast learner, so, if you could just direct me towards the right thread it would be very helpful.
Thanks for your time.

Have a look at the xda bookmarks in my signature. In there you will find links for both CF-Root, which you flash using Odin, and Easy Rooting Toolkit, which is a 1-click method. Both Odin and the 1-click method require drivers installing on your PC, so you'll need to install Kies first as this includes the relevant drivers.
Just take your time reading through those threads and pick whichever suits you best.

Follow these quick steps to root without increasing your custom binary counter:
1) Download DoomLord's zergrush exploit package from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
2) Follow instructions and your phone is rooted, no need to flash anything
3) If you need to flash custom ROMS after rooting then buy 'mobile Odin' app by chainfire from market and enjoy Android.

Hopefully someone will give me the helpful/right answer (as i did in some posts) because when you take the time to reply it might as well be usefull.

Read post #4 of that thread. It has a WORKING link to the "[04/Jan][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit)
" thread. (I say working because post #1 has NONworking link to the same page. Thread author didn't link it properly)
If you can't understand this and think it's not helpful, I would suggest you not root your phone. No offense.
Thnx i've got it.
I'm not a noob but there is so much info and it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language.

I think he's fine. He's in the Netherlands, according to his profile, so T-Mobile Europe, not T-Mobile USA... so he SHOULD have an I9100(and does, going by the screen shot of his "About Phone" screen in post #1), not an SGH-T989.
Im fine indeed
Now trying to find out what the Possibility's are now it's rooted.
FE: now it's possible to flash a custom rom?
What are the essential things i have to do now that it's rooted?

You could have flashed a custom ROM withOUT rooting. Indeed, there are several custom ROMs that come already rooted.
EDIT: Sorry, ignore the above sentence. I'm mistaken. You need root. My bad.
Sorry, but in my opinion, you went backwards on this. You rooted for the sake of rooting, then wondered "what can I do now that I have root?", instead of rooting because you needed to do something that required root. But I digress, and I'll get off my soapbox now.
That said, several apps that require root that I like are DroidWall (control what apps can access the internet via 3g and/or wifi), SixAxis Controller (use a ps3 controller on your phone - great for emulators), AdAway (ad blocker), Chainfire 3D (for Tegra only compatible games), Root Explorer (essential for tweaking files in system folders), Startup manager (control what apps are allowed to start when the phone boots), Titanium Backup (backup/restore applications and their data, freeze apps), and SetCPU (undervolt/overclock/change governors/etc).
First of all i rooted for the apps that need rooting like titanium and some other apps.
Second, indeed for flashing because i always thought it was essential. (saw your edit)
Third, i read some things about security issues (dataleaks fe.)and thought i had to root to solve them.
Maybe i'm totally wrong but as i said before there is so much info that its hard to pick the right things out of the topics.
Thanx for your help. Learning more everyday

No prob. And you said in an earlier post "it's sometimes difficult to read the correct things because of the language". Your language? Your English is probably 10x better than half the people who post on this board.

Little question: Can i flash a custom rom with zergRush Exploit? Or do i need Odin for flashing roms?

Flashing roms two methods ODIN or CWM and now MOBILE ODIN .
If you want to flash a custom rom you read that roms install instructions no more and no less .
Most but not all custom roms are flashed via CWM
CWM requires root and CWM install .
Root + CWM .

OK getting further and further every minute
Now know that with the actual root i can't flash.
Do i need to unroot this root before Root CWM?
So i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and took Odin.
Now wondering wich CF Root to take.
My kernelversion says: [email protected]#2
Wich kernel i need to take:
this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip
or this one: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5.zip
Or am i reading it wrong?
KJ2 might as well take v5 CWM
jje
And what about the unroot part? Do i need to unroot first and then CF-root?

So I've rooted my past two phones and have installed ROMs on them also.. This morning I had it rooted using odin and then tried to get Jedi X on, but screwed up somewhere. Once the download is done I'll use odin and get it back to stock. What do I need to do to get this done properly? I've read a lot but I am still confused..
Thanks in advance for the help.

Okay, so I've read that about getting rooted, and I've made it past that step. When I click where it says "Proceed to Adam Outler's thread for unlocking the bootloader HERE" It says on that thread "You are expected to be STOCK.... Stock anything, but stock." So although it would already be rooted, I can follow those instructions?
unlock and root

If you go to galaxy note 2 root dot com ,Max , the guy who runs the site has detailed instructions and videos to go along with it. His videos are super easy to follow and I've never had a problem with any of my phones or tablets when I followed his guides. Actually I was always to nervous to root my devices until I could actually watch the whole process. Sorry about the site address.

No joke. And just from a quick glance, that was posted in December so I would imagine it is outdated given VRALL.
If you just follow adams thread its super easylike 7min.like it says though must be fully stock and non rooted so it might take you like 15min because it sounds like your rooted already so you just need to get back to stock unrooted then follow the instructions

Okay so if I just read all this correctly, I need to
1. Go to Adams thread and follow the steps there.
2. Root it after.
3. I can then flash a ROM
is this correct?
Edit: Just ran casual, worked like a charm after a few minor issues, thanks for all the help!
