[FUN] You know you re rooted when... - Wildfire General

Hello Wildfirers...
I saw this thread on the Nexus forum and found i interesting. Thought of starting a similar one here.
Just complete the sentence with your own imagination.
You know you are rooted when ___________________________.
Let the humor flow!

You know you are rooted when ... your phone is stuck at the HTC splash screen for 15 minutes and you still do not panic

You know that you are rooted when.. You test whatever fancies you in you phone.. And still not panic

You know when your rooted .... when you always smile at the # symbol

You know your rooted when your little child's first picture will be of you holding your phone to your face.

Amazing!...now what?

I recently purchased a brand new htc G2 and it is amazing. I can see why people develop for it; the potential coming from this thing is absolutely phenomenal.
I know what I want to do to this phone but I don't know where to go to and who and what to read up on. Cyanogen mod came up so much and I read up on a lot of his stuff but all seemed so complicated due to me just starting to figure out all this stuff.
I would love to know where to start out with this thing so that my g2 would be the best g2 for me. Any recommendations as to what to do to it, read up on or easiest way to understand rooting and how to do it?
Also I was thinking about what widgets and wallpapers u guys can suggest for convenience use. It would be much appreciated
Thank you

Welcome to the fold and prepare to be impressed with your new phone.
Read, read, and read.
And when you think you got it? Read again. Rooting is fantastic, but can get hairy. So make sure you are 100% comfortable. But have fun unlocking the full potential of your phone!

"Top free" and "top paid" sections in the market are good places to start
I rooted a few days ago and used the process at theunlockr.com it was pretty easy to follow the instructions cause there was also video to go along with them. Probably took about an hour to do and was well worth it. Check it out.

Pretty much use this and then download ROM manager, search Cyanagonmod 7, and you're good to go. You'll learn from there.

Has it been made possible to root 2.3.4 as of late?

No. Only downgrading will work. IMO, gingerbread for our phone will never achieve full root and S-off... But I had to downgrade and its not that hard! Go here to downgrade. good luck.
Thanks if I helped

No, after Gingerbread update you have to use a computer with ODIN to root, and once rooted, it's much more painful to flash the idiotic partition system of Galaxy S, requiring you to reflash bootloaders and kernels from PC before flashing the actual ROMs or even for backup restorations, being unable to flash kernel from recovery - because kernel contains the recovery. Actually, if there is a phone that requires PC almost for any type of flashing - that would be Galaxy S.
IMHO, as stated many times - if you can't follow a simple guide to downgrade and root your MT4G, you shouldn't be rooting anyway.
Lmao what a tard

@jack_r1 makes a very valid point. rooting this phone when it had 2.2.x was STUPID easy. Easy and quick enough that i had it rooted before i left the T-Mobile Store, when i bought the phone.
The new method is simple. you downgrade then you use one of two VERY simple methods to root your phone.
If you cannot follow directions and need to rely on a one click root. Either based from the phone or on the PC then you shouldn't be messing with SU access.

That's what a clueless person would say, I guess. If you had ever tried to flash anything on Galaxy S type phone, you'd know. Pretty much all the ROM flashing instructions contain ODIN versions and instructions that require flashing at least bootloaders and mostly kernels too (see "Flash a stock Gingerbread ROM" step as an example), for a reason. Moreover, you can try flashing Gingerbread MIUI and then reverting back without ODIN. Good luck.
And whoever messed with rooting and flashing one phone, if he didn't just have to click "root" button on 1-click-rooter of some kind, but at least to work out ADB, wouldn't be afraid of rooting MT4G. I guess your mouth is going far ahead of your knowledge. It's good that rooting became complicated on all phones, because it keeps dummies from messing with things they don't understand.
This is what happens when one is having a friendly conversation with another and a third party joins in with a ” im better than you complex” and runs his/her trap and makes insults for no apperent reason all in his/her very first post .....if you cant be nice and put in helpful info without insult stay out kiddo......or buckle up and enjoy the ride....I dont care either way I deal with dumbasses on a daily basis and your not gonna find my nerve
lol
I dont let children and childish adults get to me lit-alone on a keyboard
Yes you can root and flash a galaxy s without ever touching a comp.
Yes in some cases odin is required,inwhich involves using a comp.....omg Im so sorry ..... Although that was further along than the conversation I was having with invasion....lol you just wanted to come here and play the ”all knowing” part and the ”im also a cyber tough guy” part wich are both laughable and pathetic at the same time.
Now you can stop your childish anticks and allow hair to grow on your balls or continue crying like a little girl.....either way im done with you youve already waisted enough of my time inwhich im certain you were not worth! :-D
Go ahead, feel free to make another attempt to make yourself feel big and bad.....after all thats what you came here to do in the first place.....and seeins as im giving you the oppertunity to have the last word.......nows your chance to turn it around or fail as you so boldly have.
Have a nice day kiddo
Or should I rephrase:
You posted without searching, one of, if not the most posted question on the forum. Then, when you got the response that indicated you as a not-so-brave person, you tried to start bragging to lift your self-esteem, taking this thread off track. Then, when you understood you've got caught bragging, you've read the regular line that shows on these forums 3 times a week - "if you can't follow the guide, you shouldn't be rooting anyway" as a personal insult - and got all cocky and started name calling. When you got paid with the same money, you still keep being cocky.
The funny thing is that I didn't write to catch you on your bragging, I couldn't care less. I just can't stand wrong info, which you happened to be spilling, so I corrected. This is not a private chatroom, there are no "friendly conversations" here. This is XDA-Developers, not XDA-group-hugging-team.
Waste of time, indeed.
Grow up.

Thank god this is just a loaner phone.
I guess its true.....that with cheap low quality phones comes cheap low quality followers.....have a nice life lol
...why are you not banned yet?
everything Jack_R1 said is absolutely true.
he is a very great helper, and many people respect him. if you don't have the quality of respect, then i'm sorry, but you must not have been taught any morals.
i COMPLETELY disagree with anything you said. Samsung makes the worst products out there. i mean seriously? WHY DO I NEED TO FLASH MY GALAXY S VIA ODIN OR WHATEVER GARBAGE TO GET A NEW ROM??? that's plain crap! pointless. you must not have very good experience with HTC devices.
let me show you how HTC does it:
Rooting
very easy and simple on most devices, main thing is to obtain S-off.
Flashing
even easier.
this procedure goes for every HTC device out there:
reboot to recovery
make a nandroid backup
wipe
flash
DONE.
what about Samsung?
oooh first you gotta flash the "bootloader" or whatever crap, then the "modem", then this, then that via ODIN, and then you gotta do this this and this, THEN you finally reboot into recovery and flash.
i will let you decide which you think is easier, but don't go about saying that i have "no idea what i'm talking about" because i do. my dad has a Galaxy S, and flashing to that device is complete crap. i don't know WHERE you got that info that "flashing to a Galaxy doesn't require a computer". BECAUSE IT DOES.
stupid ODIN...
anyway, back on point. if you think you're so great and pro, maybe YOU can make an easier way to root 2.3.4 Stock MYTOUCH. cause i think a lot of us would appreciate it. maybe then, you'll be worthy enough to be here. because all you've done so far, is fill up xda with your retarded garbage.
have a nice day.

[Q] evo 4g black screen with HTC in the middle and 4 exlamation points or whateva lol

ok so i gave my mother my rooted evo and she didnt like it so she made meh try to unroot it (which idk how to do lol) and now im stuck with the black htc screen and 4 caution markers n each corner now i dont remember what ruu i used to root but i did use revolutionary ive seen a few threads on here but none of the files work anymore anyone can help me??
That's the "you ran an RUU and something ****ed up" screen.
Next time do a little research before doing anything similar.
You need to find the most recent RUU & run that. Hopefully that'll get you started in the right direction.
You didn't have to unroot. Just could have run a stock/rooted ROM
Plainjane
Lol, your post made my day. "The 'you ran a RUU and something ****ed up screen'. Hahahahaha.
Edit: OP, if you rooted with revolutionary, then I'm pretty sure you want a RUU that is 4.24 or newer. I think the hboot matters as well. There are thread here in this very same subforum about how to unroot after revolutionary. Just some reading. Lotta work to do now.
Like hipkat said, didn't even need to unroot. I would never unroot, given that even you wanted stock,....you can have it with root.
