Thanks man for the more than informative response. I appreciate the apology but no need, it is more than understandable that people have to work. I have been incredibly busy with work as well. A lot of what you said is a little over my head but that's alright and expected here. I mostly wanted to root my phone to simply debloat crap and have titanium to backup my apps if for some reason I ever had to/wanted to reset. How do you factory reset the bionic? I searched and only found how to on other phones..
I thought I might get into installing a new rom eventually for a different setup and the ability to tweak more things as I learn but would that cause any hangups with the OTAs? Is it a good idea to create a backup before installing a rom? It appears as if people are starting to have issues with the updates that are out. Any idea if I would run into those by just being rooted or is that part of having a new rom? Not sure on which rom, but liberty seems to be liked by a lot of people.
I feel a little dumb but I still have no idea what busybox is, a bootloader is or safestrap that a lot of members are constantly talking about. Any info on the three and if I should download them would be great. I'd like to create a backup of my phone currently but I honestly have no idea how to do so unfortunately. A detailed description or Any thread walk throughs that you can point me to would be great.
As for the forever root process, I assume I should be ok by adding those lines of code after the last fi in my text editor? Of course by making sure it is all typed accordingly.
I looked in the system bin and donlt believe I saw anything with a toolbox label. There are a couple files with _tool, and a file titled toolbox but that is it. Not sure if that's the problem or not.
Any more help here would be great. Still trying to take it all in...
