I am having a hell of a time figuring out what to do with the one click permanent root. I've read the temp roots directions and followed them to the letter but i can't seem to get the perm root to do anything. I've downloaded the zip, unzipped it. plugged my phone in, made sure usb debugging and charge only mode. Click on the oneclick batch file, it says press any key to continue so i do, it says waiting on device and wont do anything.... any help would be appreciated
WOW OMG WOW lol....... i just spent HOURS trying to do this. I post this message, restart the phone and the comp one more time and it works..... nuts lol

Just one thought for folks who come looking for a solution and find this thread - make sure HTC Sync isn't running on your computer. I used 1ClickRoot last night after unlocking, and it wouldn't work until I remembered that I hadn't killed HTC Sync.

To root phone must be in Charge Only mode under USB Connection. If it is still in Motorola Phone Portal you will not be able to root. It took me a couple of Hours to figure this out. And im sure some people who are new to rooting or new to rooting Motorola Android Devices will have the same problem.
Yea umm...are you releasing something? Or just being informative?! Lollololololo..I believe this would be posted in the general section?

This is helpful, but the issue i was having is that i couldn't get the damn phone out of Phone Portal. I'd hit Charge Only and within in seconds phone portal starts up and i get the connected and i'd recieve an ip address notification on the phone.
I did some reading and saw that it is in the drivers i installed on the computer (64bit), and i was told to uninstall and reinstall and it would work. Well, reinstalling didn't rid the issue and i think it may be due to the 64 bit drivers.
anyways, i eventually got rooted the other day and so far so good running Alien. I was having a noob moment when i was trying to run fastboot commands while the phone was in the OS and not fastboot... almost pulled my hair out, and then i had one of those "what the f*** was i thinking" moments. I tend to forget little things after a few beers, thank god i'm not a vodka drinker, i'd have a mopho-ing brick
Alright so long story short I tried to rush through rooting my new phone here without checking everything out too much (complete fail on my part...but I wanted it rooted before I went out to the bars to save some battery life haha...ironic, now I'll have no phone tonight).
I went to root it and it somehow got screwed up...the sense launcher wasn't showing up along with the fact that when I pulled down the notification bar and hit settings, it crashed, so I went to unroot it with the RUU 1.13.651.1 and when I got to the comparison screen it said I had 1.13.651.1_R2...and being already frustraited at this point, decided how worse could it get? Tried it out, not my brand new phone is stuck at the black htc screen....fail.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I tried running it again to no avail...I'm about to try the other RUU to just see if it works, but I'm running out of other ideas. Anyone that can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
awesome first post and congrats on your new paperweight

will it turn on, what can you get it to do?... geez guy at least attempt to help evern though this was an idiot move to rush thru it...
he could try to unlock his bootloader, manually flash the recovery and flash a rom thru there ^_^
but since he even failed at one click root, how will he do all that?
can u get to the bootloader?
does ur comp recognize it when u plug it in? even if it's still stuck

Not that hard if he actually takes his time and reads before doing anything. If he can unlock the bootloader with htcdev and flash a recovery he should be ok

Easy. Hold the volume buttons down while you turn the phone on then choose to reformat or restore or whatever the option is.

Well, the good news is the phone is not hard bricked, it has a soft brick and is recoverable. Redownload the RUU and try again, but make sure you have the correct one. If that doesn't work you'll have to unlock with htcdev, flash a recovery and flash a ROM. Then try the RUU again if you no longer want root.
Like others have said...it sounds like there is hope for your phone yet. Take your time and CAREFULLY follow instructions for whichever process you choose. Hopefully you post again later saying you were able to fix it.
apparently he doesn't care that much... he hasn't checked back recently...

First off don't feel too bad, No matter how sure you know what your doing we all make mistakes. I paperweighted mine while manually installing some mods last night. If you would of watched the how to RUU the evo lte you would of seen that that the black HTC screen is perfectly normal. The phone will sit on that screen for like 10 minutes sometimes it will reboot and sometimes you will get differnt screens. The key is to have the drivers handy and install them if ur PC ever calls the device android 1.0.
The RUU version 1.13.651.1_R2 is the one you should be using. As scary as it is you just need to be patient, and let the RUU run it may look like nothing is happening but something is.

I tried to root my phone using the regawmod process on my PC. i followed the steps until the first reboot…i put the debugging option on the phone when it rebooted because everything got wiped as it said it would and then the phone went completely black as if it was rebooting as it should..but never reloaded..i cant turn my phone on or anything..phone was charged to 65%..so i know it couldn’t have died that quick..What happened?? please help!
hmmmm....
not sure what to tell you man.
hold power button for a while, until you see it reboot... IF you see it reboot. should happen within ten seconds....
if you have root access..... download quickboot and try to boot into recovery.
we'll go from there.
also, plug device into comp and see if it detects it.
assuming you installed all drivers necessary and software packages from that thread, correct?
I did everything to the T...I tried to connect to the PC again and it did not detect the phone, and still wouldn't turn on..so i took it as a loss and took the phone back to the store and they gave me a new one because it wouldn't turn on...I appreciate the reply back.:good:
probably wasn't bricked, btw
This kind of makes me worry..... with what everybody has used, which would be considered the "best" to use? This is my work phone and I'm ok to root it and what-not; heck, I root my co-workers phones all the time so I'm no noob at all to this. Thanks!
I don't know what happened but I tried again, started with fresh files and it worked..I'm thinking one of the files got corrupted our wasnt being recognized by my PC...but now I'm enjoying my rooted phone!

Regaw is the best to use, I would say. This is the only case of this I've heard and I've followed the thread from day 1. A few did have it fail part way thru, but then just reran it and all went fine.
If you want S-off, there is the lazy panda method now. But I've seen way to many bricks on that thread to recommend it to anyone. But I guess they're also working constantly on a fix for those bricks and have had measured success (from what I've read).

Every one of your 4 posts have been negative on regaw's process and your experience...
Here is a little tip of advice for you that MIGHT lead you to getting actual valuable answers to your problem...
PM Regaw....I'd say post in his thread but you dont have 10 posts...
Regardless I can promise you that creating a new thread each time you try is NOT going to help your situation at all.
OK. I just wanna say that this has got to be the MOST difficult device to unlock & root. I just spent the past 2+hrs trying! I was trying to unlock & root my girlfriend's phone but it is just not happening. I watched a million videos on youtube and even read all the tutorials. Its just not working. I am stuck at the part where my command says "waiting for device"...I would LOVE for someone to help me with this...message me...or whatever. I know this thread will probably be deleted anyway..so send me a message because I am SUPER frustrated!
I have a Galaxy Nexus and it took 5 minutes to do everything I wanted to do!
Fix you install the drivers onto the computer?

This attitude won't get you far in this community so if you would really like help from others start behaving like a decent man and not just like some "too cool gangsta for this forum".
Try unlocking and rooting your girlfriend's phone on some other computer available to you.
I followed this tutorial and i unlocked mine in matter of minutes.

Good luck.
So you tried a couple of hours...
I actually tried for days. Weeks went by and still could not get the wire trick to work. Same thing... it said: "Waiting for device".
Finally, I read in a forum to try a different computer and that's what I did. Made sure that HTC Sync and stuff like Double Twist were not installed. Re-installed the adb and usb drivers. And still did not work the first time I tried it. So, I went into Device Manager and deleted the Android Phone entry. The computer then re-installed adb by itself. After that, I finally got the "Do the wire trick" message!!!!
It took me three or four tries before finally getting it.
Now I am S-Off and downgraded to Eng hboot. Installed Team Dirt's AOKP Rom and could not be happier. It is so smooth that I have kept it as my daily driver, even though it is still missing a couple of things.
So, definitely try using another computer. Even better if it has never been connected to an android phone and you can install the drivers from scratch.
Hope that helps.
So as you can see, others agree that it might be a driver issue since "waiting for device" usually means the phone is not being seen by the computer due to the drivers not being installed.
But I don't know what I'm talking about because it took me only one hour to root and s-off my phone just by reading the directions. I must be a moron. :banghead:

I had that "waiting for device" problem before (am using Desire S tho), and to my surprise, the solution to that was to change my data cable. I used the one from HTC, and solved by using a generic one.
and yeah, that attitude needs a chmod..

try conecting the device to a linux pc and see if fastboot or anything works, or if the partitions mount
Did he by any chance swap partitions like say from ROM manager or a similar app etc. ?
