Are you new to Google search??

There is a step by step guide in general forum, sticky thread. If you try rooting without understanding what you are doing then you may hard brick it.

If you require practical help try searching on YouTube.

Thanks for moving it ad sorry about it, but can anyone help???? Please
First, ask AT&T to remove the SIM lock. They will in most cases, just ask them. After unlocking the SIM, flash clockworkmod recovery, root, and then flash a custom rom and kernel. Viola. Hope this helps and isn't too late.

Then read the basics first 30 seconds does not give you any knowledge .
Use CF root from development is probably the simplest method if you follow the instructions .But i fail to see why you want to root a device when you dont even know what root is .

I read it all, i know what rooting is about, i wanna root, but at the sametime i dont wanna brick my device! I want adocker, titanium backup
Thank you for ur time
if you read it all, then you already know how to root, and that you posted in the wrong section
Its like we should beg you for little help?? EXCUSE ME if i posted in the wrong section its not a big deaal! I thought it was a site for helping noobs like me sorry for bothering u but i expected more help from u guys..
You have all needed help in the threads that were outlined for you. Read and make. That's all. We won't write for the 123456th time things already present everywhere on the internet. I personally used Samsung s3 toolkit that you can find in original android dev stickies thread.
I just followed what is written.
Noone is going to spoonfeed you, go read it yourself like we all did

Help with root

Hello everybody,
I'm totaly new with the root thing. I tried already to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 and even though root checker says that my device is rooted I can't unistall some system apps (blootware I think, or something like this ) that I don't need.
Is it possible someone to give me an advice? I will try to root my phone again but I have some questions:
What is the best root method?
Which kernel must I use?
And which custom ROM do you suggest?
My phone:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
PDA: I9100XWLSD
Android: 4.1.2
Thank you in advance

1) There is no best root method, they all work. Stickied threads in General and at the top of Q&A have all the info you need, we're not regurgitating this stuff for every n00b who asks when it's already been done thousands of times before since the phone has been released & we have stickied threads specifically for this purpose.
2) Which kernel you use depends on the root method. Read the method as many times as you need to until you understand it, then follow it. Doing before understanding will lead to a broken phone.
3) Rom recommendations are forbidden here, go to the two development sections once you've rooted your phone, read some threads, try some roms (make sure you do a nandroid backup in CWM before you start; What's a nandroid backup ? Search).

Samsung Galaxy S3 Rooting

Hi there,
I am new to this forum like a new born baby and intending to Root my Samsung Galaxy S3. I have gone through a few threads and posts which has the steps and information to be followed up for rooting.
I am looking for some simpler steps for rooting and couldn't understand those technical terms. It would be much much thankful if someone could help me out to explain the steps in simpler way to root my device. These technical terms here are too hard to digest.!!
Help needed. . :crying:

Need help to root Xperia S

Hi!!
I'm new to the world of rooting, and I read a lot about it. I understand the concept but when I read posts on how to root my device (Xperia S) i get very confused because they start talking about flashing and some stuff but no one explains how to do it, I mean, I need a tutorial for noobs. I read this one for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742992 but there is no explanation for every step. A video would be very useful but all that I found is s***. I want to root it the way it is explained in the post that I linked, since it's specifically for my device. I don't want to use generic programms like KingoRoot. Sorry for any grammar mistake (I'm from Spain) and thank you in advance
Try one click root options like KingRoot and KingoApp, or check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42659596#post42659596
