Hello,
Since I'm new here, I don't yet know the OP for supporting the devs working to root phones, so I'd like to know what the senior members recommend.
I understand when someone finds a way to root, it's recommended that we reward them through their PayPal button, but is there anything we can do during the lead-up to that? Donations? Resources?
I want to support in any way I can, is all.
Thanks,
Andreas

Sit down, strap in, hang on, and WATCH the show buddy. You'll know when and where to donate when the time is right.

For future reference try not to post in the development section. Put your questions in Q&A section.
And don't think that throwing money at the developers is going to speed the process. The best devs on this site do it for fun rather than money.

That makes sense. When I hear of people feeding Sprint reps in exchange for information, I'd like to kick some money their way to help with it.

10-4. Sorry about it.
I thought that since my question was specifically related to this section, and those my question was directed to frequented this forum more than, say, the Q&A forum, this would be a good place for it.
But if this forum is only for discussion specifically relating to the technical specifications of the phone, my apologies.
It is, for development I mean. Feel free to donate to xda, seems to keep the site working.

As the title states. Can I root my phone going off of last night's update? If so, where should I look?
Thanks!
Check the Q/A thread at the top of this subforum. It should have info regarding Revolutionary that should work for you, I believe.
I will never understand why people wait on OTAs and THEN want to root. I can't think of a time when an OTA ever made it easier since exploits are "usually" removed/patched. Add that to the fact that the user could have rooted by an already known working method prior to an OTA and still flashed a leak of the official release before it was ever even pushed out. I suppose it makes sense for someone that just bought their phone but otherwise :shrug:
Yes, the Revolutionary tool should work just fine. http://revolutionary.io/

This revolutionary method has been confirmed working, saw on another forum as well but won't post the link as I believe against rules.

This is easily the most unnecessary thread I've seen in a LONG time. You had to look right at a number of stickied threads that would have answered this question.
Revolutionary does work after the GB update, I rooted my Thunderbolt yesterday, S-off,
DL Recovery, flashed the SU zip file. Took all but 10 minutes. Working great.
Someone should try and count up the number of "I updated to GB and want to know how to root" threads

Yeah, I thought about that. But, I'd like to point out that using the search feature isn't optional, it's kinda in the rules and demanded.
If you took the time to type out those replies, you might as well have just searched this forum yourself and posted the link, as well as telling them what they should do in the future. Swfreak wins this round. Then have the thread closed.

1st post by this member and more helpful than many other members around here...
i understand forums have these search options and stickies and what not but reality is... most people don't/forget/not aware/don't care that the answer is around here somewhere even if it's right in front of them.
In fact 99% of the time any question that is asked the answer lays somewhere in this forum. so what? what's another thread that was posted in the correct sub-forum called "Thunderbolt Q&A".
Hell what's the point of this sub-forum anyways if members are not gonna give answers but DIY smart ass remarks.
at least he knew enough to post the question in the right sub forum, lol.
btw, how is the new ota? i dont know if im going to try it.

uh....... The link is in my sig!!!! Just me posting 10 characters answers the question!!!!
I always wondered why there are two sub-forums, Q&A and General. Then I looked closer and the one is for "questions" (and answers obviously) and the other is for discussion.... So, there should be NO questions in the General forum, right ?
Kinda silly, methinks. Combine 'em into one, I say.

Amen. I hope that's not trolling. I am sort of new to this posting thing Don;t know if this is the right forum, but I appreciate the help you all give to us new guys. I do agree about the "search" thing though.
Thanks and my 2 cents
Thanks for the info. I did use search to find my answer, and that's what I got. Let me first say that I am very appreciative of all of the time you guys spend here helping out the less knowledgeable. Now for the other...
You guys are obviously here to gain info and to give...right?
So I don't understand why so many of you insist on bashing newbies when they don't do things exactly right. I would just like to remind you that at one time you were also a newbie, and probably did not post in the right forum or just maybe posted a question that had already been asked! Let's take what our mother's taught us..."If you don't have anything nice to say," you now the rest...
I know that I have been reading these forums and have spent hours and hours trying to find the answers I was/am looking for. And sometimes I just want a direct answer to my specific question...though I dare not post a question fearing that I get flamed because it *may* be posted elsewhere...
In closing, please just try to be nice...it's not the end of the world if there is more than one place the same question is answered. Just reply with the link, and maybe the person will realize to do a search for his next question...
Thanks for listening... and please, don't flame me
Hi,
I have been searching the forum for ATT Official 2.3.4 stock ROM. I am new to Android and planning to put in a Custom ROM in my SGS2. But before I do that, I wanted to have the Official ATT 2.3.4 ROM so that in case any issues I can flash that back. Also I did read about keeping the flash counter intact. I primarily want to be prepared before I start with it. Please share if there is a link available.
Thanks
Seriously? The Development forum is only 4 pages long and you're too lazy to even skim thread titles there?
I suggest you go back and read the XDA rules again. Search before posting.

I was looking through the development forum as well and did find out there were some ROMs which were already rooted. I was looking for a unrooted ROM and maybe would have missed when I was looking through. That does not mean I am lazy... I am new here and did ask for help after trying!

Your reactive comment is really uncalled for. People are here to help, and they do not get paid to be here, but some find it a little tiring when people appear to ask questions before they even look for the answer.
I understand that to a new person, sometimes you don't even have a point of reference to know what you are looking for. What you need can be found in the development forum as "Unbrick/return to stock by Entropy512."
Also refer to the sticky topic "Library" in the development section, and the sticky topic "FAQ" in the general section.
Edit: OK I see you removed your reactive comment, so I removed it from the quote also.
My bad..sorry about the reactive comment.
I am a new user to Android and just moved from iPhone. I do appreciate the DEVS work and understand it is an extra responsibility for you.
I had rooted and unlocked my SGS2 but being extra cautious not to brick it when flashing the ROM. I maybe should have read through all the posts irrespective of the title
Thanks Guys.. I got the thread.. I will pick it up from there
do you have the link for official stock rom that you found?
I mean the 2.3.4
THank you

If we spoonfed every new person that comes here to XDA we wouldn't have enough room for actual development dude. So what you are suggestion is basically ridiculous. I want to come here for development. Not a bunch of links and "how to" posts. Searching is a good thing.

I tried searching, but a lot of times, its confusing on which Rom is actually the stock version which would return everything as before.
I looked at restoring the phone thread and couple of others which also say they are stock rom, hence the confusion.
There is no point in fighting. I got my answer, so its ok if people got mad at me for asking a question. They will forget about it in a couple of hours, and I will try to search a little more next time.

This thread is getting funny, not because of the OP's question but 'cuz of the resurrection.
can we downgrade to 2.3.5..?? bcoz some games works better on 2.3.5...
Why a new thread for this question? There is already a thread to ask all your doubts and stuff. Use that please. Answer to your question:- No! This phone was released with 2.3.6 unlike GT S5830.....which was released with froyo initially. So they have got all updates since froyo. We have got only 2.3.6.

Even then we just leave it and move on thinking they will get our point on future
If we hated noobs, we would just say f off, you're a noob, we won't answer you
We never did that
And its AGAINST XDA RULES to write rubbish to complete 10 posts, they can be deleted or you may be banned

hi.
i bought a sim free s3 last year and used various uk sims in it.
then went to pakistan last year and took it with me. sims wouldnt work so had to get it rooted to work.
the guy said it had an international lock on it where you cant use it with other countries sims.
anyone got any idea i thought simfree means unlocked anywhere in the world.
dude, look through the section list again and tell me where the questions go. then hit "report" on the post and ask for it to be moved to the correct section. thanks
