First time rooting, custom rom etc - Android

#16093869 - 04/15/12 03:04 PM (12 years, 3 days ago)

Im sure many of you have rooted and flashed your android phones. I have been wanting to do it for a while now.

Damn, its confusing. At least, it is before you learn it! :tongue:

For my phone I need to install 's-off' too...

So I head over to XDA forums and look for some noob guides. Man, that forum is about the most hostile place to noobs that there is on the net. I find my way to this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Christ... Of course I get stuck on step 1. Cant get the 'revolutionary' program to recognize my phone.

Under step 1 there is a numbered list that goes 1, 4, 5, 6, ... :facepalm:

the thing with droids, they are either stupid easy to root, or you will become a brain surgeon first. good luck either way, i game up on them a long time ago.

you're not root by default on an android phone. by hacking it, you can become root.

am I on the right track?

yeah you pretty much got it.

you want to be able to make changes on the phone as the root user. which is disabled by default.

I have an HTC sensation. I haven't had much time with it. I have managed to get s-off and a rom clockwork recovery thing. I haven't bothered to root it because I have learned that rooting is not necessary if you are going for a custom rom because the custom rom should come rooted. Root access is done within the rom. (makes sense now that I know of course...)

My next step is to find a rom I want to go for and load it up! Actually, my next step is to back all of my shit up. Ill back it all up ( I read that 'Titanium something or other' is good) this weekend and then load some rom onto it. I think I would just like a vanilla ICS with no sense or the like, but I will read a bit and see what other sensation owners like.
