[Bravo General] Junkyardjames87:
Ok all, help me out here too, this is my very first guide EVER!

If you need to root your phone ONLY:

Google search for Super1Click,

Place phone in debug mode, Settings/Applications/Development/Android Debugging

Plug phone into computer using any USB cable, wait for drivers to install, look to see if a device called Android ADB something installs

If not, Google search for Moto Driver Helper, install and run that, plug phone back in.

Open Super1Click, click root.

After it's done, unplug and reboot phone.

If you want to install apps from anywhere else besides the Google Play Store

Root phone, see above

After reboot, plug phone back into computer and then click [Allow non-market apps]

Reboot.

All set.

If you want to install Clock Work Mod Recovery, aka CWM Recovery, CWM, Advanced Recovery, etc.

1 click method to root and install CWM at same time

To install a custom ROM

Find ROM

Download ROM

Download the gapps.zip for your ROM (eg gappscwm7.zip for Gingerbread, gapps9.zip for Ice Cream Sandwitch, etc.)

Have root and CWM o phone, see above on how to do that.

Pace the ROM and gapps.zip files on your SD Card either with the phone in Disk Drive mode or with a USB Stick or whatever.

Boot into recovery mode ONLY THIS EXACT WAY: Power off phone wait for BLUE LED, hit the VOL. DOWN Button.

Push VOL. DOWN to select (Recovery)

TAP the power button.

TAP power button on [Custom Recovery]

Using the VOL. UP and DOWN buttons, select (Wipe data/factory reset), TAP power button to enter

After that, do the same thing but select (Wipe cache partition)

Last go to (Advanced), then (Wipe Dalvik Cache)

After that sometimes I'll do the (Wipe Battery Stats), but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Then click (Go Back) and then go to (Install zip from sdcard)

(choose zip from sdcard)

Then select your ROM FIRST, then install

Then after do the same thing again, (Install zip)..., this time install the gapps.zip (eg mine is gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip, for Gingerbread, AKA CM7, yours can be the same for CM7, of if installing ICS, AKA CM9 or JB, AKA CM10, It'll look like mine but have ics or jb or something in place of [gb])

Then click (Go Back)

Then click (Reboot system now)

Let phone reboot, you should see a blue led and then either a green (good), yellow (might work) or red (bad rom) led.

If it was green, your good.

if it was yellow, it might work.

If it was red, try again from turning off phone and pressing VOL. DOWN at BLUE led.

IT WILL TAKE UP TO 10MIN FOR YOUR PHONE TO BOOT THE FIRST TIME YOU INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM, BE PATIENT.

If you still see the boot up logo after 10min, pull the battery and put it back in, turn on phone again and it should boot fully.

If your stuck on red (M) logo, see below To return phone completely to stock, and retry from To Root your phone.

If you have any other issue or get stuck somewhere, POST YOUR ISSUE BELOW.

To unlock your phone (This is NOT the same as rooting your phone)

First and foremost, you'll need ANOTHER

SIM CARD

, not SD Card,

SIM CARD

,

Fist try to call AT&T and ask them for your network unlock code,

If that doesn't work then either Google SIM Unlock code or ask around here for help in getting it. You might try this, or this if you know Russian or post below you need help

After that, reboot phone.

Then pull battery, change out your sim card with the other carrier sim card (anyone but an AT&T simcard) and it'll ask you for the code, put it in and your all set.

I will finish and update this as I have time.
