Superoneclick. it's a windows app that does all the work for you, just make sure you turn on usb debugging when you use it.
Here a link for a one click root that I use

Look at the sticky called Noob Guide and choose Option A. You can download the update.zip and root it that way. I have never been able to get Superoneclick to work correctly.
OMG please take the time and read/research

No need to be rude - looks like he owns another phone but just wanted quick advice on how to root.

Uh
Wasn't being rude at all, but I don't suggest that anyone start messing around until they have read, read and read more...unless they want a bricked phone. I had to read for days before I even felt semi comfortable...
But hey, to each his own...

Not sure if this is the right section for such a problem, but hopefully someone can help me. I have an HTC EVO View 4G that I had Gingerbread with Revolutionary S-OFF and rooted. I then upgraded to rooted Honeycomb, but didn't make a backup (I'm not concerned about losing everything).
Is there a way to downgrade to Gingerbread? It doesn't matter if it's unrooted or not. I just want to get back to GB any way I can. I used an RUU .exe to get back to GB, but now my View is stuck at the white HTC screen. I can only access the HBOOT and FASTBOOT menus with the power and volume button. I can't access Recovery, it just goes to the white HTC screen.
Any suggestions on what I can do?
set up teamviewer and send me your connection details in a PM.
Find a 10 story building.
Go to the roof.
Hold tablet over edge.
Release tablet.
Problem solved.
This method worked for me. I was unbricked and rooted after that.

What I normally do is root so that I get cwm to make band backups and I can use fancy apps that help for further steps.
Unfortunately you'll have to read 1000s of posts about kernels/roms and how to use certain tools.
I'm no expert myself,but the more I read,and like watching you tube videos,the more I learn.
Also,you've got to tread carefully if your phone is still under warranty and you need to send it back....lol

Like the majority of us, we were excited when we got out SIII's however all the information you need is contained with the SIII walls on this particular corner of XDA. What people are suggesting is you take a look for yourself first and have a read of all things before asking such a question as the answer is but a quick look around.
So, instead of spoon feeding, go for a wander and have a look. You will be amazed at all the info there.

This is my first droid and first smartphone. Im looking for jellybean and try understand how to root and install, etc - few days. Im tired searching, reading, and be careful to not destroy phone. At this time i say many ways to root for many devices and one think can destroy phone. I thought xda forum which i see first time can help choosing correct way, files to install jellybean on my phone bcs its not att, tmobile or other provider.
Well. thx for no help.

As Mr Tuff said......we at XDA are here to serve you and all your smartphone needs. please put your phone into download mode open Odin and click repartition and add any random .Tar file ( jellybean will be in there somewhere, have faith ) then click start.
now once you do this you will need to send your phone off to a repair shop where they will activate your newely installed JB build on your phone.
then just wait.........
Hope this helps......................................Probably will not though, lol

Honestly, and I'm not saying this to be rude to you in any way. But more a concern when reading your posts.
You honestly don't sound like someone who should start messing with flashing and rooting........

What he said.
If you can't follow those excellent HOWTOs & FAQs you surely DON'T want to flash your phone. If you have a specific question, ask in the thread about flashing and installing. This here won't help you a bit.

Ya, I agree with this.
Op, just enjoy your phone for now the way it is, the JB leaks are not for people with little experience in these matters.
Hang around xda for a while and learn how things work here, learn why making these threads is frowned upon, read through the JB threads, learn from them.
Then, when you feel comfortable enough to flash it on your own, you are ready to give it a go.

I thought I'd do essential topic for Noobs out there, okay well in here or outside if you're outside.
So these are the essential things you must do after getting your shiny new scratch free powerhouse mobile.
1. Root your mobile
This is essential if you want to learn what your phone can do and believe me it can do loads, I've still not learned everything and already I'm amazed.
2. Download the xda toolkit, I have no link but do a search here. It's like a step by step to rooting and the other things I'll mention.
3. Install directory bind as it will enable you to move some of your apps to your sd micro card if you have bought one and buy one if you haven't it will help.
4. Learn about roms and kernels and visit the developers forum as these are great for modifying your mobile the way you want it, I'm turning mine into a mini entertainment system. It would be great if could modify the other things like the s voice to programme it to say what you wanted it to every time you wanted to do a task and add a sexy woman's voice too.
5. Once you have modified it the way you want and made it your very special friend (okay I'm exaggerating) do a nandroid backup as it will back up the way you have your device and it's quite simple to do.
This is to make sure that if at some point you have to do a factory reset and believe me you will as I had to do one today when this annoying message kept popping up to say something about a Google gapps isn't working so I just gave up and did a full wipe, it doesn't save game sd data but if you've already learned how to use directory bind you won't worry about that.
Oh and install the xda app as it's much easier to to type than using a browser and easier to find your way around this site.
6. Do a search about the things I've talked about as there are step by steps to help you along the way.
I'm sure I've forgotten some things but these are things I've found are essential.
That's all I've learned really so I've run out of numbers.
I'm off now to learn some new things.
Farewell my fellow Noobs.
OP your telling people how YOU like to use your device. All of what you listed is only essential if that's what you want to do. And if you do want to do it, there's guides walking you through all the steps. No need to tell "noobs" what they should be doing. I know users on here that stay stock non-rooted..
OP, I applaud your intent but I am with Coreym on this one.
Any advice to noobs that starts with '1. Root your mobile' is staggeringly misguided and borderline reckless. There are increasing numbers of noobs on this site for whom 'walk in a straight line' would be a challenge.
If you really want to help noobs perhaps your advice would be better rephrased as follows:
Do nothing for now
Read
Keep reading
Read some more
When you think you understand re-read everything to ensure you do understand
Do the thing

Samsungnooby,
Thanks for your well intentioned post.
The posters above you Coreym & Gustopher are right, maybe edit your post with Gustopher suggestions would be sounder advice.
I've had my phone 3 weeks, on the second day I leaned how to root it and I've learned and done everything else.
Found it all pretty straight forward to learn it all and do them, maybe I'm just a quick learner.
Don't know what else there is to learn.
Maybe I'll just take a look around for something else.

im hoping some ppl will be able to give me some good advice. i am currently running JEDI XV13 on my Note II. I found out the hard way that there is some type of bug with the gps. when i try to get turn by turn directions it gets hung up while searching for signal. does anyone know if and how i can solve this problem? does anyone have any good ROM recommendations? i am not really a big ROM flasher, nor am i into theming or anything like that. to be honest the only reason i rooted my phone was bc my friend said it was a good thing to do so if anyone has any thoughts or advice on anything ive mentioned i would greatly appreciate it

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.
