Anyone know about rooting android phones? Pretty new and from following a guide all I've managed to do is get my phone stuck in a bootloop...

Hey,
What phone? What are you trying to do with it? Why do you want to root it? I've been as far with my android phone (SGS II) that I've even repartitioned it and I'm running on it newest android 6.0.1.
I might be able to help you.

Awesome! Its an Asus Zenfone 2 laser ZE500KL and the bloatware takes up all the room on my phone to the point where I can hardly download 2 apps... I have an SD card with the phone but the Marshmallow android update made it so you cannot put apps on the SD card without rooting

Most of the rooting methods I've just found on xda forums make you totally wipe the phone.
This seems like something that might work. Still, there are not a lot of threads that are useful. I recommend searching either xda forums or cyanogenmod forums. There are usually some useful threads. I'm sorry that I can't help you more.
As to the bootloop - wipe might help.

Ah thanks for trying!
I've been trying to follow this onebut was having trouble with getting the root to stick. I ended up asking a more tech savvy friend of mine and it turns out that the supersu install wasn't actually happening, had to manually move the files to the appropriate locations myself. So I have a rooted phone! Now I just need to figure out how to move apps over...

Actually, I'd just do all of that with ADB.

Ehh? move the files over or move the apps with ADB?

I don't know really what do you want to achieve. Root might have not been needed at all. You just go to sytstem settings > apps and move individually each app to SD card. If that's possible and if the app supports it. Manually moving won't really help. You can use ADB to remove some of the preinstalled system apps, but you have to know what you're doing.
