Whether it's a link to thread with answers or just general getting started questions like, what do I need for unlocking my bootloader?

Let's keep this clean, and let's learn something together!
 
So do I have to download the fastboot file in step 4 or the one that came with the zip you gave me I'm just curious

Alrighty, now download this file and place it in your fastboot folder

twrp2.img


The boot back into fastboot mode and send command
Exactly


fastboot boot twrp2.img



Then choose backup from the screen and tell me when that finishes
 
Also when you send command

fastboot boot twrp2.img

It does no flash anything

It just boots it in your device

After you make a backup of your stock system which includes boot and recovery

Then you can flash the recovery with command


fastboot flash recovery twrp2.img
 
Place it in your fastboot folder on your pc

You can rename it to something like

sickjbboot.img

So it's easier to flash

Then

Boot back into fastboot mode and

fastboot flash boot sickjbboot.img

Then

fastboot reboot

So i don't have to do the directions on his post, just do your directions and just download it and follow yours?

ping.php
 
The reason you need to flash simonsimons34's boot.img is because our stock boot.img that came with the device has write protection. This means if you don't flash simonsimons34 custom kernel, if you want to delete any apps, everytime you reboot your device, those 'deleted' apps magically return

Nope not done yet, you need to go to XDA developers site and download his flash-able superSU.zip

Then boot your device into recovery mode and click

install

(Navigate to where the downloaded superSU.zip is)

Then click the zip and swipe to confirm

When you reboot you will have a unsecure rooted device



Profit!
