[Q] Scratch on screen and root question - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I some how got a scratch on my screen does anyone know a way to remove it?
And how can i root my Wifi flyer same method of different? I have rooted other Android devices in the past but all i see is for 3g flyers

search for treads on screen scratches, some suggestions were made as I had created a thread about this. Did not try any of the suggestions though.
I have a wifi flyer. You can root by same methods listed in development. If you are looking to just stay on Gingerbread then follow s-off then root instructions. If going to Honeycomb there is a thread for S-off HC you should follow.

[Q] Root Eris with Hboot 1.49 S-ON

My Eris has HBOOT 1.49 S-ON. I'm new to this. I can't upgrade untill next year so I've been reading alot of these forums and I would like to root my phone so I can increase the processer speed and to get 2.2 on it. Some people say a phone with this hboot can't be rooted and others say it can be. Everything I've read is a couple of months old. Are there newer post. Is there a simple way to do it if it can be done like maybe a one step or something. I'm a layman at this stuff so if some of you guy's could help I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm not sure which one the 1.49 is but just get the latest Verizon OTA update (the latest 2.1 update should lead you right to it) which was from July then find the one click root method in I think the Amon_RA thread in the development section.

Root guide?

Im new to rooting this way with the .bat files and wanted to know if anyone could give me a guide or tell me how to root this way thanks!!

It's not full root... Its temporary root. All the instructions are inside the threads in the development section really... There's not a lot to tell you.
However... there is A LOT of useful information within those threads that you should read up on.
The latest versions of root are SUPER easy. Follow my link for a root that also lets you surf Hulu on the Dolphin Browser app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169495
Note that instructions for the basic root are in the first link of the thread I created. But the basic instructions I provide in my post should do it. It's VERY easy nowadays! Do yourself a favor and install a root checker to quickly verify that it worked
This method works great for me and couldn't be easier.

New to Flyer/View - Read this first.

This thread will always be a work in progress, there may be times when it stays static for a while due to the fluctuating nature of events if you notice it hasn't been updated in a while don't assume it is dormant.
Please do not post in this thread for support/question etc. This is intended to to be a ONE WAY THREAD. I write down the information and other people read it. Do not consider this as a rebuke to anyone nor an attempt on my part to indicate that I am "the authority on all things flyer" that is not the case. I am simply indicating that I will maintain a thread for information on all things development related. In addition Scabes24 will maintain a list of useful links in post 5. If either of us runs out space we will get a moderator to make room for more posts. If there is anything you feel is missing and can contribute to the thread then PM me an I will add it. The only exception to this is for ROM Devs who want to grab one post each after the general information to maintain an Index of their ROMs / releases, the ROM must be released to post in this thread, no announcements of upcoming releases etc.
If you're wondering why I said all this...the simple answer is I want a simple location for new people to get all the information on this stuff without having to trawl through pages and pages of posts in case there is a useful piece of information. It should all be in the first 5 posts + any posts the ROM developers use.
Anything that does not fall into these categories I will ask a moderator to delete from the thread.
Do not under any circumstances post a reply to say thanks or similar. If you want to say thanks, use the thanks button.

View needs a dedicated thread, maybe?
With the recent massive holiday promotion and sales of "Sprint's HTC Evo View 4G", we may need a separate thread for the Noobs who are getting confused whether they can use Flyer mods/roms/hacks. As a View user, even I am not always sure which of these posts pertain to the View.
Just a friendly suggestion to the gods of XDA....

Maybe when there is something worth posting for the view I'll do that, however for now everything is labeled Flyer, View or nothing if it applies to both models or is android generic.

New to Evo 3d..help with root?

hello.i have a Sprint htc evo 3d,android version 4.0.3.software version.2.95.651.6710rd.I would like to know whats the best and easiest way to root the evo3d and what is a good rom to run that is very stable and wifi and everything works..and a good kernel to run with it..i have rooted tablets and other phones before,but evo looks a lil complicated..sorry if posted in wrong section,and thank you again for your help..( i tried following these steps..-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193) watching the video and going step by step..doing full root part..when i go and open revolutionary.and run it.gives me..(your device.shooter with hboot 1.58.0000 is not supported at this time..can someone please help me..
You can't find the relevant thread and follow directions? I'll even help you out, you'll need a 32bit unix/linux. Ubuntu has a nice bootable you can burn and use. Then you use the jpuntubear executable downloaded from their website within that. Granted the one provided by the relevant thread might work on a 32bit OS but I can verify that it didn't work on Win7 64bit. Oh and you will have to hotwire your phone, literally short circuit your phone to get s-off so you can put a working ROM on. If you just want root and ok with stock OS, then you don't have to short your phone.
Also, if you can't find relevant thread and follow directions how do you expect to survive in the world of custom ROM's?

Lurk More.
I have Windows 7 32 bit..
I also have the same issue. A couple of months ago I tried to get s-off and it failed with the same message. After not finding any relevant information I gave up and just rooted my phone with the stock rom. I have had several android phones (Epic, galaxy SII, Evo 4G, lg Optimus V) and never had any problems. Make sure to reply with an answer rather than bashing the person asking the question.
At the moment I just want to root it..and methods that I have been following don't work..
This method works:

It's close to the top of this forum. Read through the thread titles. You'll find all of your questions answered if you bother to look for them.
Swyped from my GS4.
Nevertheless, belongs in Q&A. Mods please move.

Thread moved out of development forum. Please keep questions here. Thanks
As others have mentioned, what is probably the most comprehensive compilation of information you will find on the web can be found on the link below:

Additionally, if you have issues with the "wire trick" to get S-OFF you can always just do the HTC unlock. You won't be able to flash HBoots but you can flash ROMs and Kernels (use fastboot to boot into recovery from PC).
I, for one, can state that I've done the JopunutBear "wire trick" successfully twice on a Windows 8, 64-bit OS. However, if you choose to try to do this know that you will be entirely on your own as they no longer support anything other than Linux.

[Q] How to Root Android 2.2.2?

Hi there.
I am trying to find instructions of how to root my Motorola Atrix 4G, but I can't find any solution for Android 2.2.2. I found a couple of how-tos describing the steps for android 1.8-4.5, not 2.2.2 tho. For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 which looks to be the easiest way to do it.
Does anyone have any idea/hint to give me? I am a complete noobie that has been reading about it for like a week already.
BTW, I appreciate any hints for how to flash custom ROMs and any good ROM, I am think about the epinter one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060064).
Thanks!
Obviously you haven't been reading the right stuff.
