Noob here. Not really understanding how to root my phone. I simply want to root it and then install the very best and stable FROYO software. I don't need a ROM as I like Touchwiz (I know, don't kill me).
Can someone, pls provide detailed chronological ordered instructions on how to ROOT, what I NEED after I root and then install FROYO.
Thank you

Did you read the General Sticky? I tried very hard to make that as clear as possible. Just download the file, rename it, put it not in a folder in sdcard/ and then go to stock recovery (with your phone off, press and hold both volume keys, press and hold power, release power at the Vibrant screen while still holding both volume keys) then click on apply update, reboot phone and you are rooted.

He sure did make it easy in the sticky... Search, read, and learn.
If finding the search button is hard... I know it can be, since it is at the top right of every page on this forum, please click the large RED text in my sig... And any question you have will be answered for you, automagically!
^ hahaha, I love the signature. Thanks for the sticky compliment.
WOW! Such sarcasm. I don't really think that was necessary. And YES..... I did read the sticky.
sarcasm??? WTF, I was genuinely trying to help man.... if the sticky was not enough for you, you probably don't need to be rooting your phone because it doesn't get much simpler. Good luck, if you want help from others, try and not burn bridges. I tried.

Listen, i was in your position not too long ago, trust me , email thegreat520. I was a straight noob and now know a lot of **** and flash custom roms and do **** to my phone all the time flawlessly and he taught me it all, email him dude.
Can you post what he sent you? I've always been extremely curious why he says to email him rather than post the answers for EVERYONE.

quote of the day. in fact that should be the vibrant section's motto, and the motto should be on every page and should be a link to said sticky.

Email him .
@ OP: if your looking for stable as in, set it & forget it, do yourself a favor & wait... Seriously! One way I tell how a ROM is doing is read the first 2 post & last 2 pages. If you see the same issues being stated, dont flash, unless you are willing to deal with that problem.

He was just very patient and answered all my questions, and he's a very trustworthy guy. I bricked my phone about a month ago and have linux and couldn't use odin plus i was still a noob so seeing as my options were buy a new phone or say **** it and send it to him i sent my phone to him and he fixed it, added froyo and shipped it back. Plus he taught me a lot now i kno how to do a LOT now and no longer consider myself a "noob".
Thegreat520 should be a mod on here as he is by far the most helpful person i've ever come across online.
Interesting, so how much did he charge?

LOL I Thought the EXACT Same thing, because that sounds very fishy. Considering the time it took to ship there and back... like a week to 12 days at the very least? He must of had access to a STABLE version of Froyo before everyone else here on the board.
Yeah, to be clear I'm not trying to say anything negative. People helping people is ALWAYS a goo thing.

It was your fault from the beginning to link to a chat box.
and no one forces people to download from their servers except you.(not on original)
and your website is no where near trustworthy, neither in looks or feel.
and you have like 10 posts?
what do you think should give people the impression to trust you?

The obvious answer would be: If you don't like it, don't download it.
You make it sound as if he is forcing you to sign up with your precious email and download from his server..and when things don't turn out the way you wanted you start to insult him and his work?
Oh come on..this is no way to behave on XDA, which i have always seen as a friendly place with respectable and polite posters.
As for the fact that Darkside Agent doesn't have as high a post count as you in here is because he is fairly new to the Android modding scene + XDA. But he is quite well-known and trusted in other phone modding forums..something you could have found out if you had bothered to actually read his website a bit more thoroughly.
Goddamn, some people are just unbelievable..
Skype removed, flash player sorted so it will update..
Some more .apks removed that arent needed
default wallpapers changed

So you went in to mounts and storage and clicked on format system? factory wipe/reset will not format system just in case you were unaware
I will DL and test for any bugs or issues Good luck with the ROM. It's nice to see another developer around here. I like your style. You have good taste. Don't listen to anybody on here giving pointless feedback
Thanks for the positive comments, much appreciated

im not a developer but all ive heard all over the note 2 forums is how it is solely a touchwiz thing. so i would assume the other devices would need tw. assuming that, no one has been successful in this so far. its a neat concept, but i cant find any legitimate uses for it. ive tried texting while watching youtube videos etc... and the even with the note 2 big real estate, there isnt enough room to efficiently do 2 things at once.
and there cant be ported the whole touchwiz ported wit it to other device ? ive got nexus7, it is big enough, so i think it wil be useful.

I don't know if that's possible. It may be. I also don't know if it has anything to do with the kernel like s pen does

Lol I'm really sorry I couldn't be of help. Just know that it isn't even working on the aosp roms for the phone's it was designed for. I'm guessing that'll come first, if ever. If you're rooted, check out cornerstone by onskreen. Its pretty much the same thing, and is in development now
you dont have to apologize, can you give the link to that ?

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is any Camera mod for the nikel version? Like motog for mido or something like that? Camera is very laggy while taking shots and I think it's a software problem. Any recommendations?
Thank you :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Dude, it's not available for the mediatek version of the phone -.-'
. Meh fair enough. Just trying to help since no one else bothered to answer your question.
Google it next time : https://www.reddit.com/r/chinaphones/comments/765olg/best_camera_aplication_for_mediatek_phones/
Took me like 10 seconds to find that link
WOW you're so smart! I found that link ages ago, not the thing I'm looking for. Thanks, I guess
You know what. This is why I don't bothering trying to help people in the Q&A section. Figured it out yourself. Next time get a phone with a decent cpu and not a rubbish mediatek one. Jerk.

Ok never did you say you attempted to search yourself. How am I supposed to know what you've done that before you posted this question?
I gave you the best answer to your question I could find. Saying how long it took for me to find that particular reddit post isn't a measurement of my intelligence. You simply decided to come to that conclusion yourself and be sarcastic about it.
Next time why don't you put more detail in what research you've done already when you post a question. Would have saved my time and yours.
Regardless you still should have invested in the much superior Snapdragon model. I did my research and know getting the mediatek model would cause issues down the line.
Since that reddit post was about the only useful thing I could find (I took a look at some others, frankly I wish I hadn't now), I suggest you try what's suggested in there. As said in the post all of them are the same more or less as they use the same API.
Don't be a troll.
