Thinking of buying a HD6 - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've spent 1 hour here in XDA and honestly I'm a nub at these stuff and I'm totally confused.
I realized there isn't a official CM rom for the HD 6. What can we do to the HD6 to give
it a more android experience? Is there a nub friendly step by step guide on how to do it?
I need a guide that starts from scratch and the latest version. Thanks!

[Q] Help with rooting?

Hi, I just got my Samsung Fascinate today, and I was looking forward to rooting it. It's my first Android device, and I've only used dumbphones until today. I've seen the rooting threads yet still have no clue how to root my phone.
Can anyone please take me step by step (starting with what apps I would need, if any) in order to root my phone successfully? Thank you very much!
i dont post much over here at xda but since iv had my d2 and now gal s iv been here much more so please dont think im a super noob (still a noob) but you really should just play with you STOCK phone for a one or two weeks and get to know it before u go and root it and the endless fun that comes after. i say this more or so because your coming from a "dumb phone" you really should get to know android and all of its fun ins and outs. enjoy your new phone and ur new addiction..prob should have tried heroin first

Well, let the big kids figure out how to remove Bing and make some tools that will make it easier for you to root, give it a week or so and we will have them

The first links for the drivers aren't working!!
edit:
once i started doing adb push su /sdcard/su, it says "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Permission denied."
i'm so lost.
Someone Else posted a link to a guide with a small update to it's instructions,
The Post is in the same forum as this one topic name is Rooted, page 3, user eleazar123 posted it..
I would just drop a link to it, but Apparently i am not verified and can not post any links :-(

[q] need some serious help!!

ive got a unlocked streak running 2.2 not rooted. i was wondering what would be the best rom to install after root? is it worth rooting? can some one please help me with all this? i know this seems like a stupid question but know 1 knew anything at one point haha thanks guy please help me solve this problem of mine x
go to streakdroid.com and look at their guides and faq section..
good place to start... You have about 20 hours of sifting through threads here before you can fully grasp the streak platform from a rom perspective...
which includes
-roms
-basebands
-framework-res.apk
-services.odex
-build.prop
-streakmodrecovery/clockwork recovery
first learn how to fix it before you break it.
nice 1 matey, i did root my streak but then the screen broke so dell sent me a new one and i really dont know wether to root it or not?
rooting is like removing the govenor on a car engine... You bought the puppy why not unleash the fury!

[Q] Need Help Please!

Please excuse my "new-ness" to the forum but I need help. Bought the G Tablet last week and need help installing a new rom on it. I have heard about the VEGAn-TAB BETA 5.1. Is this good? What would you recommend and how to I install it?
Thanks!
Courtney
Google "g tablet for dummies" . the developer of the site, username GoodIntentions did an amazing job of describing the process. It will step you through the process very clearly.
I've only had my gtab for a couple of weeks and have had no problems loading ROMs, having never rooted anything before.

[Q] First time to try rooting

Hello all, I know this is proubly a dumb question but I'm a noob so please be kind. I have a Galaxy tab. 10.2 with 3.2 honeycomb on it. Now is it possible for me to root my device safely. Or should I just forget about doing this? I rooted my son's tablet that is a generic 2.2 tab. so I am not a total idiot, but far from being tech. savy. I'm new to this game and wanting so bad to be able to root my device but also just a carpenter in another world right here and just learning. Thanks for any advice that anyone can give me.

I think you mean Galaxy Tab 10.1 . Anyways, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089.
hey I think that its good for you to be thinking about whether its good for you to root, but I think that you should give it a try. as long as you follow the instructions, you should have no problem sucessfuly rooting your tab. check out the link and see if it helps you.
You can root safely, but just follow directions and take your time.

Newb trying to root Verizon Tablet Z2 (SGP561) from 5.0.2.

Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
