Hello,
I'm coming from the Evo. Got my TB today after looking at this forum and seeing all the ROMs but I realize now that I should have paid more attention to the root part of the situation.
I used unrevoked to root the Evo. I have never used ADB or ABD whichever it is and have no clue how to. I have searched the pages of this forum and can not find an answer to is there a 1-click root for the thunderbolt?
MY TB INFO:
2.2.1
1.13.605.7
I read through the manual root but do not think I have the skills to pull that off. So is there a 1-click root and I'm just being a noob and missing it? And if not I know there is one for the droid x and do you think I should take back the TB and get a droid x instead.
All responses are appreciated! (even if they are smartass which I'm sure some will be lol)
it isn't that bad, honestly. I had no background with ADB (I think its ADB, and not ABD), and I went through the command prompts pretty effortlessly. I got scared when I accidently copied two lines and pasted them into the command prompt, but just re did each line separately and it was okay. Unsure if the root method has changed since I did it but my advice is to heavily research it, and not panic if you do start doing it. I was stressed out about it throughout the entire process, when in reality there wasn't much to be worried about. Good luck kind sir.
There are also YouTube videos of the rooting process for the TB that you can watch to get an idea of what you are in for which isn't that bad but so worth it!
I 2nd the youtube vids, worked flawless. Adb for dummies set up, vids, best walkthrough by far... Thanks Natemil

There is a 3-click method that i used.
What is this 3-click method you speak of?

I used this one too.
I will give it a shot
The 3-click method is just the manual one with some batch files that do most of the work for you, basically. It's not like an app on your phone. I prefer to do it manually over the one-click apps. It's really not that hard and you can pretty much be guaranteed it's going to work right. Do a little reading and go do it. It's really simple.
Well the majority seems to lean towards the manual root. I guess I will study up on the youtube videos and attempt. I just don't want to brick my phone. The fear sets in....
Just get ready to pause. Youtube video is pretty damn easy!

i used the so called "3 click root method" they were talking about and it didn't work for me 2 times so i did it manually. there is also a youtube video that shows how to set up your computer with adb as well since you said you've never used it

haven't heard of one person actually bricking their phone yet (i'm coming from a droid x that i bricked twice so i was ultra cautious)
the root looks scary but all you got to do is follow instructions...i knew nothing about ADB going into this and now i don't hesitate to flash anything.
good luck man...plenty of people here to help
p.s. i used the "permaroot" method by jcase (check sticky's) and i would not recommend anything else...he is very well trusted around here and i have had zero issues with losing root or flashing rom's, ruu's and kernels...and i flash new ones daily! droid x was a nightmare!!!! you are in good hands lol
Thank you all for your replies! Funny how one community is nicer than another.
All very helpful! I guess I'm just used to the evo forums where it wasn't acceptable to be a noob lol.
I am going to get a good night sleep and attack the manual root tomorrow.
Thanks again!!!!
SUCCESS!! WE HAVE ROOT!!
Took about an hour but if you go through the instructions slowly everything works out just fine. The longest part was getting adb setup correctly for me.
Thanks again for all the help!
ive been rooting all my phones since the droid 1. i have a pretty good understanding of adb and ive still always used the easy root methods. i used the 3 step method and if you follow all the instructions it works perfectly. as long as you dont do exactly what it tells you not to theres no worry about bricking your phone which, with all the devs out there, theres really no need to worry about anymore. you can usually get it up and working again no matter how bad you screw it up.

Hello everyone. I was looking at the rooting instructions like damnnn. Lots of steps. I remember when i had the og EVO or my vibrant I could root it and download a custom rom just using my phone. It was just put zip on root of SD card, apply zip, use that ROM changer app to download/apply custom ROM. Bam done. Is the 3D ever going to be that or no?

I didn't mean to say the rooting process is too much, its just not as simple as before.

I love the steps..Makes me feel like im actually rooting the phone..Thats just me though,I enjoy the process.
I'm not sure exactly what the exploit is that gets s-off so its hard to say if there will ever be a 1 click method or easier way.My guess is someone will make an easier way of doing it in the future.
Yea Rooting the vibrant 3g was very simple I used z4root it only takes 2mins.. One phone that took me the longest to root was Mytouch 4g because there's alot of steps to do.
It's about as close to one click as you can get with out being one click. all you need to do is run revolutionary and flash su. Even the old one clicks you still had to click to download then click to run, thats two clicks right there. Thats not counting the whole pluging your phone in. Personally I was impressed at how easy it was right away.
Maybe one day all you will need to do is put your 3vo under your pillow and the root fairy will come down and do it for you and leave a shiny quarter(not trying to be a prick here just funny)

I found it obscenely simple... Lol
My nook was a pain my nuts. The G1 was a ***** without the data Sim card, and the my touch 3g was almost as big of a pain. I'd root another Evo 3D in a heart beat. OG Evo was easier, but not by much.
My buddies fascinate is also a bit of a pain with versions of cwm having to match the rom, modem problems, and more.
E3D'ed... Booyah!
Well, i am not trying to be an asshole, but 1. I think we can't really complain about put a little bit of thinking to get what the devs put way more thinking and effort into. 2. It clearly states that it's a test beta release. maybe when it is actually finalized it will be easier to use.
No.. not too much at all.
I rooted a MyTouch Fender ... That was a process and a half. Required a Goldcard, flashing engineering hboot, flashing rom/kernel and then reflashing the retail hboot.
Hassle...
This.

Umm.... Oh yeah, that's all.

To be honest with you....As much of a hassle as you think it is, learning how to use ADB and the neccessary commands from the computer is truly in your best interest. There very well may come a time when you need those very commands to recovery your phone from a bad flash or simple mistake. A lot of people use the simple root method, jump in head first and get into some serious trouble without having the neccessary knowledge to fix said problems. Just something to think about.
rooting the evo 3d was beyond easy.
i feel the evo 4g took more to root. i didnt even feel like i was rooting a phone flashed a few zips and i was done..
anyone saying its difficult or was to many steps will be the first to get bootlooped and wonder why.
Too much? I thought is was pretty simple. Click the bat file & let it go. Then type Y or N to install CWM. Then reboot into recovery & flash Su. Pretty damn easy. No need for ADB unless you want to flash Twerp & now they have a PCM files you just place on root of SD & reboot into Bootloader to flash. You must weren't around when the root & nand unlock first came out for the Hero & OG Evo. Now that got a little complicated. This is very simple.

This thread proves exactly why HTC should NOT release an unlocked bootloader to the masses!
I am by no means trying to flame on ya OP, but if you consider the root utility for the 3D difficult you should start reading some more or not even be rooting at all.
This utility makes the rooting process cake. If this seems difficult you need to read up on ADB etc. This is a lot easier than the original rooting processes for most phones if you go back a few years. Try rooting using all command prompt with 25 steps that you have to do manually.
I hope that this isn't taken the wrong way, but this is the reason that carriers frown upon rooting...Because people get themselves into something that they shouldn't and end up using insurance at an excessive rate because they brick phones.
Sorry for my rant, just wanted to give my .02
Wow...this root process was super easy...took less then 5min for me...

Those were a pain sometimes. It kept the riff raff out though. You had to be a pretty brave individual to go through that process, I think my brain exploded 3 times before I successfully rooted my hero.
The worst was I bought a g1 off ebay about a year ago, It was completely up to date and the bastard left his security lock on! We have no tmobile service here so I had to do all kinds of crazy ADB commands just to get past the gmail sign in because of having no sim card(back then you couldn't turn on wifi until you got past that point). Plus the whole rooting it too. What I'll do just to have buttons for my emulators.

Agreed. I didn't even have to use adb to get twrp..just a flash in recovery. Painless. I can't see it needing to be any easier. I am impressed with how well executed Revolutionary is.

For the OP:

Haven't tried it myself but here's a method without using ADB.
Hi everyone. I got an X2 a few months ago and it has Android 2.2.2 installed. I used gingerbreak to gain root access and then froze all the extra bloat with Bloatfreezer. This morning I woke up to a message about an update to 2.3. I have a few questions about this..
Do I have to?
Can I use gingerbreak after the update and redressed all of the bloat?
I've been wanting to try one of the custom roms floating around on here but I just haven't had the time to do it. Is the update going to ruin my chance to do that for a while?
One last note, I have used this site in the past to help root my D1, but I still don't really know what is happening on my phone when I root/flash roms/etc. I know its unlikely that someone could teach a whole programming lesson on here, but a sticky for people new to it explaining what is actually happening would be a great help.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for the help.

I asked mr clown to add this to the roll up sticky I don't think he got around to it yet, if you follow these directions you will have rooted 2.3.3, there is no gingerbreak app that works on this update, you MUST follow these directions to get root on gingerbread.
Edit: you do not HAVE to update, and I can't answer your other questions without some serious talking out my @$$

I accidentally updated. I had the phone turned sideways and rotated and then pushed the update later button but after it rotated it was actually the update now button. I decided to let it play out, but after all is said and done, I still have the super user icon on my phone. None of the apps which require root will function but I do have the super user icon present.
Is that just a glitch?
Will it still root properly?
Is there another way to check for root access?

Super user icon is stuck now, only way to root is to flash back to 2.2.2
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
And you should definately do that in my opinion, carrying the superuser icon with NONE of the benefits of being rooted? No reason for that IMO You've rooted previously so you might as well go do this right, follow the step by step intstructions on sbfing back to froyo and hitting up P3s prerooted update file, and as for explaining the stuff how technical do you want it to get... the basic idea of rooting is that its giving you access to the "root" of your phones directories/controls kinda like an administrator on the computer, the flashing/sbfing is simply swapping one or more sets of your phones programing out for another,
their are a couple boring vids on youtube that can show you the ropes of what this development actually is if you can watch a couple times without falling asleep
Yep, you have su apk, but it's not going to work.
You're going to have to sbf back to 2.2 and do the ginger break, etc process to get 2.3 rooted on your phone.
Thanks for the responses. I think I'll give this a go tomorrow. To be clear though, now that there is an sbf, there is no real danger of permanently killing the phone right? Hopefully I wont need it, but it helps knowing that I can't completely screw things up.

I saw somewhere that perm root has been achieved, but it is not being released because it could be hard to fix if you screw up the system partition.
Heres the thing though...
Don't we have the recovery files that can reflash the shipping OS version?
Also seeing as how we do not have S=Off that means we can't screw up the hboot or really flash anything that is "unautorized".
That means we could fix any issues by reflashing the stock software right?
Or is the perm root not being released because the method is too difficult.
If that is the case, I understand not wanting a bunch of casual flashers/rooters attempting this, but there are those of us that can actually follow instructions well. Heck I even rooted my old Nexus One without using the official unlock command. It involved switching SD cards at just the right moment while running special scripts for ADB and other craziness.

I think the other part of this issue is that he (Evil DevNull -- oops I said a bad word around here) is using an exploit in the sim card system. He said he burned up two cards doing this. Probably not a very safe method at this point along with the other potential problems.

It is assumed he has a Factory rooted device, or possibly that a glitch in the "Root Checker" program still shows it was rooted after a reboot when it really wasn't. Also, it seems rather shady that he's already asking for money:
Would it be greedy of me to ask for a $5 donation from 500 people?

He started a new thread on the other Dev forums (the 1st one was locked) and we've asked him to Open Titanium before and after the reboot, as well as show us the Bootloader screen to see if it's a factory S-Off/Rooted phone or not. Also, we've asked him for his method. Just seems very shady to me.
Speaking of money...anyone willing to organize and spearhead donations to the developer or group that achieves s-off?
I know this was done on other phones where people pledged $x amount of money.

Pretty much. I wouldn't be asking anyone for a dime period let alone prior to providing a full disclosure of the methods used to obtain root status.
Just like everyone else....I'll believe it when I see it.
Blah... perm root S=On is good enough for me right now if it can happen.
I'll pitch in a few bucks for that... I'll throw a few more for S=Off.
First time since the G1 that I had a device before root was achieved. I wanted to take advantage of the penny sale at Verizon is why I picked it up now. I would have gotten a galaxy s 2 had Verizon offered one. Oh well, every HTC so far has been broken eventually. I hope we don't have to wait too long though.
There was already a donation thread started somewhere I believe. But Evil was the only verbal dev working on root/s-off and said he didn't want money.

This is dangerous. If something happens to /system you're screwed because without recovery it can't be..... well recovered.
There is already a temp root method that you can use to kill the bloat. Outside of that root doesn't really provide you with any other abilities except maybe to steal wifi tethering without subscribing.
Without s off you wont be able to overclock, flash custom Roms or alternate radios....so why do people think they need to have perm root without s-off?
There are plenty other things you can do with Root without S-Off.
THe EVO 3D with hboot 1.50 had the HTC Methosd which left u with an unlocked bootloader and S-On and Flashing kernels and such had to be done thru Fastboot Commands, Which was if the ROM had a Custom Kernel as a Default. Now JoeyKrim created the Flash Image GUI which was a hella of a creation for the people who were stuck in this position. Check out his app if u havent yet. If for some strange reason this was tyhe only resort for us, it wouldnt be bad at all

Hi Mike, Welcome to the thread.
As a new rooter to the 3d and a long time rooter of the EVO (original) I have to say I'm finding that this is much more intimidating than it really is.
Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813818
It was a very well thought out thread and worked smoothly. The hardest part was the wire trick and I'll be honest the most intimidating. It took me 5x before I got the timing correct with how quickly I touched the ground. Outside of that it was simple.
It's true the EVO 3d is somewhat of a pickle when it comes to gaining s-off. Just a bunch of tedious steps. But its all worth it once you gain it. At least you won't have to deal with the headache of unlocked s-on.

I mainly deal with Samsung phones as I own an S2, I was looking into rooting my fiancee's Evo 3D to run an app to unlock contact photos for handcent, but it does seem pretty tedious to root them from the searching I've done here, unlike Odin in the Samsung world. Is there a particularly painless way to root the 3D but preserve data? Cause I doubt she'll want me to wipe it just for that, heh.

Unfortunately there isn't, since you have to either HTC unlock the bootloader, which resets the phone, or flash an RUU (stock ROM) to go straight to S-OFF. Since you are not starting with root, you might want to try MyBackup from the Play Store which doesn't require root for the basic backup to save as much as you can, then root (and optionally S-OFF) and restore from the backup on the SD card.
I've recently opened a thread in the General Forum to make it easier for Sprint users to get root, and optionally S-OFF, but there's no such thing as a one click root for the Evo 3D. I tried one that was posted in the General Forum a couple of weeks ago but it didn't work on our device.

I know everyone on this website hates noobs, so I'm just going to break the news to you right now, I'm a noob, king noob to be accurate. So now my question: how on gods green earth does one go about rooting an HTC amaze 4G? I swear I've spent hours and hours trying to do it, and it never works. All I can do is unlock the bootloader. After which I then use this software called one click root which runs command prompt and it says "failed". I gave up after numerous fails. I've picked up a pretty bad drug and alcohol habit after not being able to root it. So I really need help.
Are you using my tool?

What does it say EXACTLY on the command prompt screen. Copy and paste it here. You have me for a few mins before I start watching a show and going to sleep.
Adding on to what hasoon said, you can also watch his tutorial video on YouTube here.
super-one-click root isn't for htc devices mostly Motorola and Samsung, use hansoon's AiO toolkit

You spent hours and hours trying to use a program on your phone that you didn't even know if it was ok or safe to use on your phone? Rather than spending 10 mins reading how to do it correctly? Always research, read, and make sure you understand what to do before you attempt to do it... If u don't, there's a good chance you will end up with a bricked device.
