Hey all...I'm VERY new to all of this rooting stuff...still reading about it and I can't seem to wrap my head around it....Not sure if I'd be crossing a line by asking this, but here it goes....are there people on here that would actually root a phone for someone if they (ie..me) are to stupid to do so?
Of course there would be compensation involved.
Thanks for any info!!!
If you are new to the point that you are not comfortable following the steps needed to root your phone then I would say that you should not be worrying about rooting your phone at this point.
Why do I say this? It is because you will want to flash a myriad of Roms after your phone is rooted, which I guarantee will cause issues that you will not be able to figure out on your own.
You also need to ask yourself what it is that you hope to gain from rooting your phone. The stock Thunderbolt has bloat no doubt, but it is generally compatible with apps and is about to receive the Gingerbread OTA (non-root users theorize) fairly soon.
What do you want that can only be accomplished by rooting your phone at this point? If you cannot answer that question, then I hope you will take my advice and do some reading on this site, and one or two other sites, until you are ready to root your phone without paying someone to do it for you.
One other thing. Please do not create posts asking about the proverbial 'Best Rom'. There is no such thing.
Just my .02 cents!
I appreciate the info....Thanks!!!

You're very welcome. I hope that I did not scare you off of rooting, but it is something that should not be done without some careful thought before hand.
For $100 I'll root your phone.

I've rooted several devices for friends that have no intention of using clockworkmod. They simply want the advantages of root and to run a new ROM like CM7. I'd be happy to do it for money, and I don't think the end user of a rooted devices needs to know jack about it rooting it to enjoy the benefits. In short, I'm happy to root a device for someone as long as I know they aren't going to get in there and brick the thing somehow and come to me to fix it like it's my problem. Most people are decent enough to do that.
if you look online(or in your local yellow pages), you can find shops locally that will fix, root, etc your cell phone.
just here in San Diego there's about a dozen places that offer these services.
although i will tell you... the first time you figure out you have a problem with your carb and it's bad enough that you can't drive your car... then a "friend" tells you, just bring the carb over here & we'll fix it for you... then you're just standing there looking at the carb and thinking "uhhh..."
now that's rooting a phone x 10 difficultly.
I'll do it for free, teach you how i did it, and give you the basic knowledge of how not to brick. Where are you located?

I didn't have anybody to guide me when i first started and i know how frustrating it can be. And you never know, he may be the next great developer with the right start. I have been the "tech support" for my entire family who I converted to android. It would be nice to teach someone who will want to learn as opposed to my family who just says here you do it...
And you are right on the money when you say ppl who use Th3orys roms are nice and helpful. I have learned a great deal from that community.
I am not a dev, just someone who knows how to implement the awesome features created by the community here at XDA.

I know we are going off topic but I feel the same way. If people did not get smart with other users and just be helpful people would have a great time learning.

Dang if I was near my laptop which my dad has webx on I would do it for you. I have rooted a bunch of phones for friends and family and I find it especially fun teaching them what root, roms, etc. can help them achieve. Today I rooted my friends sensation so he would have the sensation xe (beats audio) options and speed. If you feel that your stock phone seems slow rooting, overclocking and debloating or changing the ROM can definitely help you!
Sent from my Thunderbolt!
I would do it for 30 and make sure your phone gets back to you with lots of extra programs you will need. Plus 5 bucks shipping back.

Hello everyone. Sorry if this throws everything outta wack but i need some help. So my friend finally made the switch from apple to android and he got a fascinate. He had it flashed to cricket and everything works it just freezes up a lot because hes using a crappy froyo rom. I need to know if i root and install ics on it will that remove the carrier flash and switch it back to verizon? If so can anyone tell me how to root and install ics without removing the cricket service? If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for days how to do it but i still cant find anything. Please help me restore my friends faith in the wonderful world that is android.

Hey, I'm having a similar problem as your friend did, but I'm kind of a noob and don't understand all the jargon yet. Did you get a clear answer to your question by following the thread that was posted by mezter?

The only current way to root a MJ7 phone is to use vroot. There is an unknown level of risk in using that, but many people have said that they have successfully rooted while seeing no negative side effects.
Please read the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511815 where the vroot program is discussed.
Direct links to vroot are not allowed on XDA so you'll need to find it for yourself.
Also, since you admit that you're a newbie, please note that vroot installs a Chinese language Superuser control program that many people are having troubles removing and replacing with the standard one. There are a few scripts that people have developed to help with that.
I need a good anti-monitoring or maybe something to flash my phone.. im tired of people making my life pretty miserable, i cant even make a phone call with my phone which i pay for because they have some good programs so please any suggestion i would highly appreciate it..
