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

Hey guys, I have a thunderbolt and would like to learn how to root, flash, all that good stuff.
Problem is, I don't know much about this stuff. I looked around, but couldn't find a link or a thread that was like an educational tool. If anyone knows where it is, it'd be much appreciated. Or if someone could let me know the basics, that's be good to.
I know I have to root the phone first, but I'm not sure how to save my contacts and past information(old texts). Also, I'll be rooting from a macbook.
Thanks in advance.
Why hello there Ryan!
There are several methods available to you, as well as several guides, most of which can be found here
In particular, you'll find a great guide to rooting on Mac osx here
GL and HF! And make sure you read ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS before you start. Links may die, and if you're 1/2 way through rooting it won't be good

+1, that's the stuff just remember to post any questions you may have in the Q&A section and not the development one! Happy hacking!

Welcome,
For rooting I used the "[ROOT] MR1/OTA PermRoot + Unlock Bootloader - Safer/Easier 5/12/2011" method by jcase. Once I got ADB set up on Windows it could not have been easier. Just take your time, follow the directions to a tee, and all should be well.
Since rooting I have spent a lot of time trolling these forums, using the search function ;- ) to find the information that I need, and more or less hacking on my Thunderbolt the my great delight and my wife's displeasure.
Have fun and enjoy.

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
Hi Folks,
i am a bit newbie in Samsung, had only Sonz till now, and i wanted to root my S3 international.
I have tried so many options, and after all i know now i have no root access. Why? What is the issue? Do I need to unlock bootloader?
Please give me some advice, step by step.
Many thanks
Read the stickies mate.
Cf auto root to root
Bootloader is unlocked so no need to mess with that.

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.
Hi there,
as I'm totally noob on Samsung and I don't know really nothing about their devices - my brother in law gave me his business S3 (GT-I9300) for his vacation with the order to get him the current rom flashed.
Now, as I'm a HTC fanboy this is really pain as I'm currently trying to figure out what is needed to flash a custom rom.
I know an HTC needs to be unlocked/ s-offed/ rooted - but what about a Samsung?
Heard somewhen some words like Kies and Odin and am trying now a noob proof tool named SkipSoft Toolkit
I really lost overview here because all specific Samsung relevant words and explanations are like Alien language to me....
If someone could just point me to the steps I'd follow like
1. Unlock with ____link____
2. Root with
3. Recovery
4. other steps
I'd really appreciate your help!!
an HTC fanboy

please help me if you know who
Thank you
There is no root as of yet. Please search better, there is literally a topic called z5c root. Learn the forum rules and don't create useless posts. Even if there was a root, nobody would help you because you didn't make the effort to search anything. Document yourself on how to unlock the bootloader, drivers, etc, don't just wait for someone to make you a detailed tutorial on which button to press when.
