Has anyone used the temp root method for HBoot 1.5 and 2.08.651.3 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441100 and not then wiped the phone or done the HTC Unlock?
I'm interested in temp rooting my phone so I can remove the bloatware, but I don't really want to unlock it at this time. Do I have any other options, or is the above safe to use for my purposes?
try it and see but i doubt it will work. also it doesnt "remove" the bloat, just merely disables it from running

I tried to use the HTC dev method to root my phone. (Stupid, I know, I should have read more into it). However, I only got as far as unlocking it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225974 <- I got up to step 17.
So my question is, when the Revolutionary method is changed to work for 1.50 Hboot (which I have) will this affect my ability to fully root my device? My phone is now unlocked, so will I have to do something different to root it later?

Short answer: If your phone is unlocked, you can provide root access now.
Long answer: To provide some clarification of terms:
1) rooting or root provides superuser access to the device
2) HTC unlock/revolutionary provide write access to the internal memory.
Details: Revolutionary's approach, specifically their methods and code are all closed. HTC's approach is also very closed.
Due to the closed nature of Revolutionary's and HTC's work, it is near impossible to predict how these approaches would work on top of each other. If I were to speculate, I would think these approaches *could* be mutually exclusive or if done on top of each other, revolutionary's approach would unlock more internal memory write access than HTC's.
After providing this information, to circle back to your original questions, if you have unlocked the internal memory write protection, you can provide a permanent root solution now. You don't need to wait for anything in the future.
I've taken a fairly narrow, specific, and high level approach to answering your question w/o making any assumptions as to the depth of your knowledge.
If you have any other questions, please post and we'll do our best to answer!
Hope that helps!
So what should I do? I'm not able to finish with HTC's method. Will the Revolutionary way work now?
If you have a HBOOT 1.5 then no you cant use the Revolutionary Unlock method as it onlys supports HBOOTS 1.3 & 1.4. If you want root access with a 1.5 HBOOT you will have to use the HTC unlock method for now. If you have a 1.3 or 1.4 HBOOT then yes you should be able to root using the Revolutionary hack.
I've been around the forums (especially Amaze's forum) for a long time, and I have not read anything about temporarily rooting the Amaze.
This may sound like a stupid question but is this achievable without the use of HTCDev unlock method? Would it be possible to get my Amaze temporarily rooted to freeze some bloatware, and to use some root-only applications? I do not want to unlock my device just yet.
If it is possible, is there any repercussions in doing so? I know with some older devices, you would be able to temp root a phone by using z4root and such. I don't want to try z4root on this device if it doesn't work or has a potential to break something.
There's no temp root available, i want to temp root mine to, i asked in another forum.
It wouldn't matter if you temp rooted, anything done while being temp rooted would be reverted once you rebooted.
And no, you couldn't temp root if you wanted too without unlocking the bootloader afaik. I could be wrong tho...

I remember someone saying somewhere that if you uninstall apps, they'll be restored but if you freeze them, they would stay frozen. This is of course, if you temp root a device.
I am thinking about getting a Rezound as an upgrade. I currently have a Dx stock and rooted (have tried various other roms but ended up back to stock).
I keep reading in the hasoon "noob root" post about how perm root does not work. What's the difference between temp root and perm root? I often run my phone out of battery and need to switch. Will I lose the root if I do this? My primary reason for rooting is the wifi tethering.
Thanks...
There is no longer a temproot solution. It's either all or nothing since the Verizon Gingerbread OTA in January(or was It early February?).
yeah i think it was in january but it got rid of temp root and perm root is way better anyway in terms of customization
I rooted mine with the very first one that came out, but with their being 2 known methods (Evo4GLTERoot & RegawMOD), I'm wondering if one method is preferred over another for any particular reason. I take it both are compatible with LazyPanda's S-OFF utility, but noticed many have issues with different things which makes me wonder if the different root methods have anything to do with that.
I am wondering so that in the even that I ever unroot my phone and need to root it back, which option would be better. Currently though, I'm trying to hold out on any more changes until the new firmware is self-rootable (not having to flash a ROM)
Also, is there any way to remove *** TAMPERED *** off the device if you don't want to S-OFF ?
I rooted using both methods EVO4GLTE ROOT and RegawMOD as I had issues with the token for HTC bootloader unlock.
Once you root it says -TAMPERED- for now it's permanent, I'm sure that someone will find a “fix" if high enough demand. Look at is ur badge for unlocking full access to ur phones potential.

I rooted my phone using the Zedomax method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671577), have ROM Toolbox Pro, busybox, and superuser installed. I also have edited my build.prop for the Apple patent workaround (ro.da1.enable=false, etc).
I have not unlocked my bootloader, have not installed a custom recovery, and have not installed a custom ROM. I have S-ON as a result.
I also did not accept the OTA update (I still have root access, etc). My Google Wallet app shows the "Not Supported" error, and is not usable (though it worked when I first got the phone at preorder launch).
I'm a bit confused in regard to the best way to updated to 1.22.651.3. I don't necessarily need to install custom ROM's, or achieve S-OFF, I just want root access so I can adblock, use wifi tether, freeze bloatware, edit build.prop, etc.
I believe these are my options. Can you let me know if they are correct, and which is most likely the best course of action?
A) Un-root, install OTA, use RegawMOD to root again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690919
B) Flash a ROM update or Firmware update using this method

C) Flash a custom ROM such as this:

D) Wait for a basic "one click" method to be released?
Thanks
Pretty much in the same boat here. I really don't want to lose my settings; I'd rather just stay rooted and install the OTA.
