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 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.
I've got a friend who's getting his tbolt replaced and I wanted to help him use titanium backup to transfer some app data. It's still on 2.2.1, hasn't been upgraded to gingerbread, and has the 1.04.0000 hboot. I'd prefer to just temproot it if possible so we can throw TB on there and move it over to the new phone. Any Ideas/suggestions?
Ti Backup will run w/o root. Obviously there's functions it can do that require root. I wasn't aware that backing up data was one of them.... Have you tried ?
not yet. I'll give that a shot on monday. Now that I think of it, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to simply read from the data partition.
Use the advanced method (if you like fun) or be corny and root with revolutionary...

I've got a stupid noob question here that may have been asked hundreds of times over, however I really don't know the answer. I've found info pertaining to other devices, but not the Thunderbolt.
I am looking to root my phone, I know the process, I've studied it quite well. I happen to be one of those who have updated to 2.11.605.9. I am not worried about the downgrade procedure, but I would prefer to be able to backup my application data(I don't care about the actual app, I can redownload those) beforehand. Can this be done through ADB or something similar?
I've never really considered rooting my phone before now, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the subject.

Well, not necessarily the application itself. I'm more concerned about the data the applications store on the phone(application settings and such).
I believe u can not do this unless u are already rooted.... Which in that case you can use titainum backup.... Or u might be able to plug your phone into the computer and just drag over the file.... But that's depending on the file......

That's what it looked like after I did my searches, but I figured I should make sure.
Well, I really don't feel like downgrading at the moment, so is anybody working on some sort of solution right now? If not, could I use revolutionary after gaining temp root with the newer TacoRoot exploit that supposedly works on all HTC phones? I'd assume Revolutionary would still be able to set S-off and flash CWM, as the method of root doesn't seem to matter(as evidenced by the various methods revolutionary uses on different phones).
I'm on Hboot 1.04, if it matters.

You could use Tacoroot to run Titanium Backup and backup all of your apps and data and then just restore after getting S-off and permanent root. You will probably want to buy the Pro version of Titanium Backup anyway and the Pro key is not phone/rom specific (so no need to worry about "wasting" it).

Before I run taco root and do the backup, do I need to install busybox or superuser so I can use titanium, or does it just work out of the box on a solution like this?
Also, I see that TacoRoot is unstable, but there isn't really a true definition of unstable listed. Can you explain of any bugs I may experience and how I may combat them?
Tacoroot will only give temporary root access. The downgrade does not have to be permanent. You are doing it long enough to turn security off (S-off) and use Revolutionary. Then afterward you can install the latest stock ROM with root access. You get this off the internet. Not from Verizon. I mentioned this in my recent thread here. Use Titanium backup after you have Revolutionary on your phone before installing the latest ROM.
Geek note: Root is the highest user in Linux. The words rooting or rooted are technically incorrect. Saying it as slang is fine. It can sometimes confuse people who have never been outside a Windows environment.
Angry Birds
This is how I did Angry Birds prior to rooting. There is probably something similar for whatever you are after.

I was looking to see if I could use tacoroot to get temporary root to perform a backup, I was fully willing to downgrade after that, and probably flash a custom rom of sorts.
Also, I'm primarily a windows user(I'm a gamer), however I do know quite a bit about the world of linux. I just realized that I would use the term as it is in the android community.

That may help as well, if for whatever reason I cannot get titanium to work. I appreciate the advice. If it is not needed, it's some knowledge that I have gained that I previously did not possess. Learning is the most important thing, and sadly I haven't had much experience with ADB.
If there is one thing I can say, the android modding community appears to be a noob friendly group, it's so much friendlier than the Linux community was when I first started experimenting with it.
We just got the Prime and I want to root it so Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro will work with it fully. Question is what is the best method to root it with? I prefer to avoid the Asus Tool for unlocking as that will probably void the warranty. I don't want to have to worry about other ROMS or that just the capability to run apps that require root for this Tablet.
Here ya go.. The unlock tool is also built into this as an option so make sure you just do root.
Then get voodoo root keeper from market, and have it create a backup. That way you can easily gain root access back after the OTA updates.

Excellent thanks.. Just what I needed especially the tip about voodoo root keeper.
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.
