New Addiction

[AndroidNoob]

Hello everyone as you can see on my name already I am new to all this.. but so far I LOVE IT that I would love to know more about ROMs and how to edit or make some from scratch I would love any help.. currently I'm using an LG Marquee rooted and custom rom and have a Samsung Intercept with no root thoe which sucks

Welcome aboard, I had my Intercept rooted a few years ago, it was actually my first Android. If you're looking for more information we have a sub forum here: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mobile-intercept-all-things-root/
Enjoy your stay!

Thank I actually rooted before but since I got CM7 it says android version 2.3.7 and I seem to find a way to root it

Should be able to do the one-click root method on the Intercept.

 

[AndroidNoob]

I tried it with no luck

You enabled third party apps? Are you running 2.2 or 2.3? I know Gingerbreak will work for 2.2 and we'll likely be able to find you the right file if it's update to 2.3.

When I rooted mine back in the day I flashed Joseph Mothers rooted kernel and custom recovery with a modified Moment update script. Didn't have any 1 clicks back then and kernel plus recovery had to be flashed together. Here's where I got all my files back in the day: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?board=118.0
Good luck!

Yea third party apps is enabled and i have 2.3.7

Download root checker from the play store, 2.3.7 is a custom rom on that device. It was officially updated from 2.1 Eclair to 2.2 FroYo. If you're not rooted go to the thread that I linked and get the files you need to push a rooted kernel.

Kies doesn't work well with most phones but especially this one, the site I linked has a modified Moment swupdater application for Windows that I used to use. SDX has one of the only development forums for this device. Also make sure that whatever kernel you choose is compatible with the rom and Android version that you're running.
