I don’t need it to be with zero effort, but most of the instructions I find these days on XDA forums are extremely ambiguous and assume the reader is someone who does this every day and therefore knows most of the steps and what the terminology means.

Years ago when I used to do stuff like this more, directions were written meticulously and without abridgment of any elements. Seems today it’s not common for someone to go to the effort.

I’m extremely proficient, that’s not the issue. It’s just most instructions say stuff like “Step 1: root the phone. Step 2…” I’m like “whoa excuse me… how do I root this phone?”

Anyway, so all I’m asking is are there just comprehensive directions for any of these.

    It’s kind of a blanket question, and OP hasn’t shown they’ve done any homework.

    If they said “I have this device, the bootloader is unlockable, but I can’t find rooting instructions for it” would at least be something.

    (And I gave them directions on next steps, but not specific to any phone).

      OP has CLEARLY done homework if he’s complaining about the instructions he did already find. If OP had done no homework then OP would not have spent time pointing out the very specific problems he had with existing directions. That would be a paradox.

      I’m OP.

      Also, you did give me a great response and pointed me what to look for. Thank you! That was very helpful and I appreciate it.
