Go here and get Super One click, you can also folow that tutorial but like you I was new to this and ran into a few problems following that tutorial (Very simple problems to get by but i didn't realise lol)
Any way here we go:
Things you need:
Super one click - Get it from here as this one worked for me
link2sd (off the andriod market, this alows your apps to install to sd card)
titanium backup free or pro (you can get busybox from this and also uninstall everthing you don't want on the phone but be carefull)
But first
Lets stats at the begining,
connect your phone/mount just normal connect then go here and follow the steps, after that restart your phone (Don't worry if your phone displays an error before you restart just reboot)
Now go into you settings, applications, Development then tick USB Debugging (You can also go to settings Sound and Display, Screen time Out and set it to 30 mins)
after doing so run super one click on you computer, connect your phone but select charge phone this time, then click root (If the usb conection screen reapears on your phone just re-click charge phone) and when it is done it will ask you if you want to do a test before you click yes disconect your phone reboot it, connect again in charge mode then click yes and ok to the next message then on your phone you should get a message from the super use app click allow.
righty oh asuming everything has gone well download titanium backup (free or pro, i use free lol) once installed go on it and click problem alow it with the super user, and click 'Problems?' then 'Get busybox'.
after that you'll be able to uninstall stock apps, finaly if you want your apps to gon onto your sd instead of phone memory get link2sd of the andriod market if not don't lol, once you have it go on it allow with super user and click the FAT somthing option sorry can't remember but you can't miss it (bottome one) click ok then you can sellect apps to move to your sd
and we are DONE hope this helped as I never had anyone explain in depth to me lol anyway any problems i'd be more than happy to help out
Enjoy and hope everything goes well for you

Dear friend,
Thanks for your kind information. The good news is i've rooted my mobile.. how can i partition my memory card,,,, I've installed busy box into my mobile and its asking for path to save,, pls tell me what does it means?
I've installed superoneclick then rooted.. then installed titanium back up then busy box too,,, then what do i need to do to move apps to sd card.. i've installed app2sd from market... pls help me what do i need to do?

If you are on windows there is a tool called mini partition wizard which can do this for you. I believe you can do it in Clockworkmod now too?

Rooting your phone allows backups/restore, custom roms, able to install/delete system apps. It basically frees any restrictions on the phone

1. nope, rooting your phone will not delete any data..
2. not necessary, well if you insist, you always can backup first, for later use
3. maybe you can check this app here : this app cal MyBackup, if you like this app, you can purchase the pro version

Sounds like you didn't pay much attention to the instructions for unlocking your bootloader... There are a few warnings in there...

You have to go back to stock firmware and then relock the bootloader (press the restore button in S1Tool), don't use the x10blrelock from flashtool.
I hope your signal will be back by then, and i guess you'll be stuck with ROMS that run on stock kernel.
Has anyone had this working on stock JB, I use the nand restore that someone uploaded, then after getting my phone the way I like it ,apps etc I tried to install the chainfire 3D and it just hangs at boot, have to wipe data etc, and restore nand, tried this a few time with same result everytime
Anyone else tried it?
I am aware it says it not compatible with JB but it also says that for ICS and people say it works

Chainfire 3d will not work on jellybean. because all of the jellybean ROMS available are either leaked version of unofficial versions which are UNSTABLE versions. you will have to wait for the stable release of jellybean.
Those are NOT leaked versions.. google released JB sources for public .
Good thread. Was curious but thought it might of been the whole unstable thing.

Chainfire 3D will not work on JB as long as Chainfire will adjust the program, which, as I read in another threat will not happen soon as it is a lot of work (please correct me if I am wrong).
If you try to use Chainfire 3D on JB you will end up stuck on Samsung start screen.
Hence only way to use Chainfire 3D for now is use ICS.
Ics is only option as of now. What i m doing is dual booting ICS and JB. For games i boot into ics and play 9MM n nfshp n for rest things jb all the way

Hi,
just to confirm, I made an attempt to install Chainfire3D on stock JB and as christmast wrote, it ended with a nand restore.
Hi im a noob and didnt read enough into this. I got sgs3 gt_i9300 and on jellybean rooted and made the mstake of not backing up Before installing. As a result im hanging at startup.
Please can anyone help in a direction of resolving this?
Please thanks
you wipe your data in recovery
I though official Chainfire3D support ended with Gingerbread?
It did.

I wanted to install it, but in the baseband section my baseband was marked bad.So i didn't install it .Thanks for the help!
Like many others, I've followed the tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190 but have ended-up with a loop.
In my case I cannot find the Samsung ROM for the Canadian version ( I5500MUGJJ7 ) as can be seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958293&postcount=1 I'm not the only one.
End result is I've bricked my phone I think (but hoping NOT).
I don't think by following that tutorial I made a backup so I don't think I can restore - or CAN I?
Can anyone help me out - THNKS

You need to install your default original samsung rom that you have the first time you got the phone.Install it and it should work fine.I did that.

Thank you for replying.
That's the point, I don't have the original ROM. I was following the tutorial and had NOT realised I wasn't making a backup and I don't think the original author even realized the it would happen that the Canadian ROM would be one of the very few which couldn't be found if things got screwed-up.

First try to get on the tutorial, from this sequence:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
1.1 We need to install a boot-loader as the Samsung one is very limited and just plain awful! That said, it wasn’t intended to be used for anything other than the Samsung software so it’s not awful from their point of view but it’s pretty unfriendly to us.
To this
2.4 If you are new to use ClockworkMod recovery manager then before doing anything, please have a look at next screen to learn the navigation keys.
If this works, than we will talk what to do next.
Try different official rom, maybe it will work, you don't have anything to lose.

I don't think it's actually the ROM which is the problem but the "baseband". Twice I followed the tutorial and everything worked until it came time to restart the phone. At which time it went into the loop.
I have unlocked G5 and it is not Virgin Mobile - what now!

Hmm try searching for a "fastboot" method, i really don't know what should be a problem, im not an expert in this :/.Ill try to help you tomorrow again .
Is there such a thing as a fastboot for the Galaxy 5 i5500
I'm getting a little mixed-up and feeling a bit MORE stupid - what's the difference between the ROM and the baseband. Can one copy ROM or baseband from a working phone onto another?

No, I'm trying to use a restore I made before messing up.
You need to do that from the recovery console with CWM or TWRP. I'm not sure what you mean by looking for a file. There is none if you made a nandroid backup. Just browse to that file and your set.

1.What program did you use to make your backup? 2.Did you save it in internal memory or SD card, remember that if you wiped internal it may have wiped along with it, if its on your SD and your using twrp you have a few options.. You can hook your phone to your computer and search your SD card or find the file path by going through twrp. I have done this before, it's just simply a case of finding your backup...let me know if you still need help

Hi, I recently rooted my Alcatel One Touch Fierce. I now want to utilize Rom Manager, but I can't find a CWM recovery for my phone model. Is there a way to still install a CWM recovery manually or any other way? P.S. I'm new to all this. Thanks!
There's no recovery for this phone yet. It seems a lot of people have recently purchased it though, so I'm holding out hope we'll get at least recovery for it. It has a locked boot loader, so it requires a little innovation.

The stock recovery can restore backups made with the stock recovery. It just won't flash anything else. After almost a year, I kind of doubt that there will be any serious development for the Fierce.
Just get xposed framework; it gives you all a custom ROM would (in terms of personalization). It requires root. Use framaroot if you need to root. My Alcatel OTF runs smoothly after rooting and installing xposed.

Please note this is a modified stock recovery so it looks the same.
But i have patched the keys to flash my files.
IF YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE YOU SHOULD FLASH THE RECOVERY.
IT GIVES US A WAY TO FIX BOOT LOOP.
IF YOUR PHONE IS BOOT-LOOPED BEFORE FLASHING THE RECOVERY THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT.
