How to Root, Install Safestrap, and custom ROMs

[Dylan VannuccI]

I feel like an idiot for asking, but do I place the .zip folder on my sd card? or what... sorry for my ignorance haha.
Thanks

I got it! Now for installing roms.. Which is most recommended. I like the arctic HD is it stable? And can you use it on jelly bean?

 

[Dylan VannuccI]

what phone do you have? and is it rooted? You have to be rooted before you install safestrap.

Yeah, but all of your questions would have been answered if you actually read the thread.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where you helped me by answering my questions? I apparently read something if I figured it out.

Hey Dylan,

Arctic is very stabile. There IS a version for JB, just make sure you get the right version.

 

[Dylan VannuccI]

Thank you kindly wolf!

Hello all, My name is Elaine wanted to say hello, ok I have a droid razor it is rooted i have busy box on it and super user elite i have no clue what to do and does this mean my phone is unlocked. I use to have the iphone i did jail break that before and had cydia so this is all new to me I dont have the jb yet

 

[bradenfontaine]

yes, if it is rooted then you have "unlocked" it. just sit tight, Jelly Bean is on the way for the Maxx read up on VooDoo Root Keeper, you're going to need it soon.

 

[harleybabe64]

I know i sound stupid but how can you actually tell if its rooted I tried root checker the free version it says it is and my phone is just the droid razr not the maxx like i said i knew about how to jailbreak the iphone not unlock it and i knew about cydia is rooted kind of like that do you use busy box i dont know what to do next lol

 

[bradenfontaine]

how did you go about rooting it?

 

[harleybabe64]

im so lost lol someone told me that rootign isnt the same as unlocking you know what i would like to do is unroot then you can tell me how to root again but i do have super user elite installed and i have the busybox pro and it works so i htink it is rooted adn i installed root checker and it says its installed what can i do for rooted stuff i kknow like on iphone you can download free apps and redo phone etc with cydia

 

[bradenfontaine]

well with rooting you can tweak your CPU, backup all of your apps and their data, tweak your notification light, install custom ROMs, all sorts of things.

 

[harleybabe64]

how about changing cdma to gsm

 

[carracerz14]

No free apps. Root is for more advanced things, no offense but I suggest you unroot before something gets screwed up and you don't have a working phone.

And no, you can't use it on gsm.
