I bought the Spiderman 3D game. I want to root my phone and was wondering how do you get the full version again. It's not in the market as a paid app so how do I avoid having to pay again?
?
Did you have temp root with Fre3vo?
If yes did you use titanium backup to back up you apps?
If yes you can re-install from there.
Im not sure maybe you can go to the my app in the market and see if it shows up.

No I don't have temp root but I guess that's not a bad idea. It doesn't show up under my apps. What if you got a replacement phone? There has to be a simple way to redownload spiderman.
if you root without doing a factory reset, your game will be there. i just did s-off, twrp, super user, and busybox. evo 3d bootloader version 1.4. with the recent work from unrevoked and revolutionary, a wipe isnt needed. check this out.

thats the guide that got me through root without a wipe.
on a sidenote, gameloft keeps a record of your purchase. if you lose it or get a new phone, it should show up in the game store as a previous purchase.

OK...I am new to Android. I have my phone rooted but am wondering how can I uninstall some of the junk that came on the Thunderbird. Stuff like Blockbuster and the Golf app. Also how can I change my boot screen? Any tips would be helpful.
Titanium backup,(suggest pro where u can freeze them) is the easiest way.

I downloaded Titanium backup and it says i am not rooted. I have ROM manager and superuser in my all apps screen.
I chose to install one of the custom roms that just removed the Verizon apps... Provided link below. Though did have to redo some of the root process after flashing the custom rom, but not a huge hassle. Plus got rid of the bloat thanks to adrynalyne

still learning this phone. Not sure if I am ready for that yet I do not even know how to flash to a new rom yet. I used the fast root method that just came out yesterday to gain root to the phone. I know....I am not hard core yet.

it ti backup there is a option to reinstall busybox. do that and you should be golden.
found busy box that seems to have worked. Do you have to have the paid version to remove apps?

free version is ok but pro is better... you can freeze apps first, if it messes something up defrost it and dont uninstall!
Thanks for the help guys. Do you think getting rid of the apps like Blockbuster, Golf, Twitter etc would do any harm?
I deleted mine with TiB, no problems...
now i just have to figure out how to delete them
Hi... My question is kinda tricky, first thing is I never really like permanent roots for various reasons, and that is why I go for Temp... You see if I mess up a phone I would have to worry too much I guess, anyway, my Amaze 4G will be replaced soon by a new Amaze 4G so... If I temp root, do a full bar k up to my ad card with titanium lite app, and I temp root the new Amaze and do a back up restore... Will I get all my apps, text messages, saved games, laucher, folder, apps configurations and pretty much will turn my new phone exactly the same way the old one was?... With a temp root? Is this possible? And if I reset the phone and the root is gone so will be my entire back up data on the new phone? Cannot even think on how horrible will be installing all that....

Yes - No - No - No.
You can backup certain things such as sms, call log, contacts, etc with MyBackup. You must have root to have Titanium. I can't recall clearly if temp root is sufficient. If you have a locked bootloader ANY changes made to the /system (that is anything different than the stock rom and bloatware) will be reverted/restored by a reboot. This is currently unavoidable. And you can not backup the root files on your root device and restore them to an unrooted phone. This is because they would need to be restored to /system/app and /system/bin directories. Anything with /system would need an unlocked bootloader for the changes to stick. Without an unlocked bootloader the only changes that you can make is in /cache and /data partitions of your device. Anything else will be like it never happened after a reboot.

You can use Titanium Backup with temp-root. I restored all my data using it.
I suggest you not to mess up with system settings, though. It's tricky because restoring system apps won't stick after you loose temp-root (after reboot or after system hicup whichever comes first). But many system settings are backed up and restored with system apps/lib files. Or you can try it and find out if it works. Let us know the result.
A word of caution. Temp-root is really temp-root. I lost temp-root often even before rebooting causing bunch of errors and headaches. So I had to restore apps/data in small chunks to be safe.
I don't know why you're so much against rooting, but if that's because you bricked your phone before, you may want to go with MyBackup as Binary says. Even with Temp-rooting, you'd need to know what you're doing.
Thank you so much guys, I will back everything up, get my new phone, temp root it and restore the back up from the first Amaze 4G... God I hope it goes well...... And yeah, I bricked a PSP back then, I cry for a week, I just don't want to go thru that ever again lol

I really don't think that we can brick this phone. The best way to brick an HTC device is to flash a bad bootloader and radio combo or to tamper with the bootloader itself. Since we need S-OFF to flash a radio then that makes this phone pretty safe to root and currently we don't have a method to obtain S-OFF at this time. Another way to brick your phone is to flash a custom kernel that has permanent undesired effects like I experienced last year. So in conclusion, if you just want to have a custom rom installed, remove bloat, etc then you're better off going full root.
ok so my buddy finally wants to root his rezound. He has gotten the OTA, is there a temp root avail so that he can run titanium before using the HTC unlock tool? I have searched but everything I am running across is for before the OTA. If not what is the best way to save his data so that he doesn't loose game progress and such.

Nope, temp root died with the OTA. MyBackup doesn't require root.
Also, AppMonster is great for apps. Nice and easy on the eyes for reinstalling them.
I recently got a Toshiba Thrive, and did the ota update not knowing it was going to ruin my chances at root (hopefully only for the time being) but I have a lot of themed apps I want to use on it, but they all need installed into the /system/apps folder because they were themed. None of them are actual system apps, but custom themed apps from the market. Is there any (free) apps from the market that corvert them or change their permissions that will do this right on an android device?
Test with Titanium Backup

Just tried that, I get "cannot convert to user app". I used metamorph to theme all of them.
Without root it won't allow to do this. TIBU failed because it needs root to do it. You are gonna be out of luck until you can root.

i know it won't work without root, I tried converting it on my rooted thunderbolt, I still got the same error.
Nevermind, I found out it wasn't working because I didn't sign them
I am about to install a custom rom to my stock Evo 3D that's on Hboot 1.5 and still on Gingerbread (yes I know I have been talking about it for a while now) and since pretty much any and all methods to do so would result in the memory being wiped, I wanted to backup my data and settings (namely all my settings for my apps and savedata for my games) before I did so.
Problem is, I am not aware of any method to do so that doesn't require root.
SuperOneClick is not supported for my phone, and tacoroot would only give me a shell, which I can't run Titanium Backup under.
Is there any way for me to backup my app data without root or gain a temporary root while still being able to use the phone itself so I can backup my data before I wipe it for a custom rom?
You could try this temp root method.
That post is in the Sensation forum but it says in the OP that it might work on the Evo 3D (untested).
If you try it, let us know how it goes.
Edit: Here's another temp root method for the Evo 3D. It may be the same thing as the link above just repackaged for the E3D. I've never used it myself and can't test it now since I'm currently running ICS and JB ROM's.
ramjet73
Lots of people say its supposed to work on the Evo3D, and there are even some batch files for it designed for the Evo3D, but when I tried to run the fre3vo file I kept getting "The exploit has failed" and the cursor remained as $ instead of #.
I tried three reboots now and nothing, there was also a method called a "perm-temp-root" but the download links are dead so I couldn't try it.
Nobody seems to maintain these anymore because they claim the method is outdated since we have S-OFF now and the last posts are from 2011.... problem is the whole reason I WANT to temp-root is to backup all of my settings and data so I can then use the S-OFF methods and flash a custom ROM to get a proper root, which I can't do without being forced to wipe my data first.
EDIT: Funny how as I was typing that you made an edit about the permtemproot. But yeah, that appears to be the same thing, just repackaged. And what drives me nuts about all the ones I tried with batch files is that they have zero error handling, they just assume the exploit worked and I get a ton of error mesages and apps like superuser that I can't use installed...
Sorry, I forgot to mention. The tacoroot method actually did work, but it only gives me root access in a CLI through ADB, I can't even use the terminal app with it, so its useless for performing a backup that way. All the other temproot methods didn't work.
Any ideas?

Uhhh, I'm gonna have to say this is a lost cause, You just gotta lose the data, That's why we root, To be able to backup, Which is why most of us root before doing anything so we don't really lose anything like valuable save data, I don't even move a widget or an icon on a new phone until it's s-off and running the newest version of whatever lol.
I got this thing on release day, I couldn't just not use it for like a year until it was finally rooted.

I didn't mean that in an offensive manner, But there's no way to not lose your data, Simply unlocking your bootloader erases your data.
