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.

[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Rom/Return to Stock the VZW Galaxy Note II!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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.

Adam's thread is more than easy to follow. Not sure why you think he needs to go to another site...???

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 And just from a quick glance, that was posted in December so I would imagine it is outdated given VRALL.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!

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.

true, I put some videos of me flashing in that guide too... its not "good", but should be suffice.
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
Hey, can someone point me to a tutorial on how to root my device? I have a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 4g lte 32gig (aka the sch-i905). Also, would it take off all my apps and such in the process?
Check this link for root files. Review the stickies for how to root, but use the files from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16993221#post16993221
It does wipe your system clean, I think. I haven't personally rooted, haven't really had the need to. But all the apps you bought with the Market can be re-installed again easily.
I think the rooting methods are the same for all. Which is why there is only 1 guide in general.
So, would I download the .zip file attached, drop it into my sd card, boot into recovery, install it, reboot, and viola I have root + SU?
btw my android version is 3.2

Read the sticky at the top of the dev thread. Read read read. Follow the instructions carefully. Read.

Are you saying to read before following the instructions?
Where's the fun, adventure, and ultimate panic, if you do that and get it right the first time?

True story But yeah the methods are the same, just install it via recovery, I think it's fine via stock too, someone mentioned it in this ever so cluttered Q&A section
I just purchased a brand new Samsung Note 2 and wanted to root. My phone is stock, unrooted, would someone direct me to the directions to root this smartphone?
Check out this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Yup its cake u made it to this part of the forums rooting was two links below the one you clicked on lol
After that, is there another step because of the latest OTA update from Verizon?

Did it download as a .zip or .tar Odin won't find zips
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Thank you, but here is another problem, I went to the link above as recommended and followed everything which went fine. Proceed after step 10 to Adam's unlocking bootlooder. I got as far as loading the image with Odin but when I went back to Casual nothing happens and my phone has a loading with a Green Droid. Casual doesn't do anything like the video where it shows downloading.

I've tried numerous times with numerous methods. Can't seem to get it down. I consider myself pretty tech savvy. Any tips for a noob?
Read the instructions from the developer over and over. Then read it again before doing anything else. Read them several times in their entirety before beginning action. Most issues arise because people think they've read the instructions, but they missed that one key item.
Follow THIS step by step guide, assuming you are bone stock (as the guide states) and you will be golden if you do not skip anything.
I used his CASUAL one-click method (on mac, windows should be easier) and it was my first time rooting. 0 Problems.
Know exactly what version of stock software you have installed on your device. Make sure it lines up with any guide you are following. If you're not sure, ask. Make sure you have a comprehensive understanding of the following concepts before proceeding. If you're confused as to what any of these are, search the forums and google. As a last result, ask. Don't just think you know what these are. Be positive in your knowledge of these terms:
Root
(Locked) Bootloader
Recovery
Rom
Mod
Kernel
Flash/Install
Cache
Dalvik-Cache
Lastly, back up everything, every time. Best laid plans and all that. You can never be too safe.
Good luck
It all depends on whether you're on a Mac or PC. I had tons of problems with my Mac...I finally had to use my wife's work PC. There are also tons of Youtube videos with step by step instructions and links to the software...

Your first noob mistake is posting a question and not giving any details. What version are you on? Baseband? What have you actually tried? There are more than enough people to help guide you in the right direction. But as he said, do read until your eyes hurt. Then go away and when you come back, read some more
