There are lots of guides here on the forums that will walk you through the process. We were all noobies at one point in tome and there's lots to be learned from one another.
Just read everything over a few times before you try anything. And if you get stuck, just ask for help everyone here is very helpful.
Hope this helps.

Honestly it's not as horrifying as some may think. It's quite simple. Just read the guides and make sure you have everything you need at your fingertips. It would be good for you to learn since you will be flashing roms and such. It's almost like shaking hands and saying hello to your phone. (lol)
Just stay s-on until you get comfortable flashing and its virtually impossible to hard brick your phone.

Or just never S-OFF. I never did, and have been doing great with ROMs and kernels.
Also, to the OP, just do it yourself. It's a valuable lesson in not wasting money, and you learn something new.

Chad himself is even very against s-offing. Fastboot doesn't really take that long, but I do most of my flashing away from the computer. To each their own I suppose. (I'm s-off btw)

Agreed with everyone man.. Im by no means dev, or even a themer just a user but just simply reading and chatting with people on the forums being polite will get you along way.. if there's anything your wanting to learn I'm always available to simply chat to, like I said I'm no one special but I know the simple things, flashing, fastboot commands, I can even walk you thru simply rooting or going the whole nine yards with the s-off thing.. I do promis you tho in the end any thing you learn will be useful in the future.. you'll always wanna flash a new Rom, or kernel, or even a new mod for sense 4.x you like.. but, YOU will wanna be the one to do it not send it in again, or something silly like that.. my gtalk [email protected]. But my advice is always read, search and read some more.. and if you still can't find what your looking for ask a questio. Good luck bro.

I was unsuccessful with getting S-Off on my phone (about 120-ish attempts) so I just use an app called HTC dumlock. It works by copying my recovery to my boot partition and booting to that. It allows me to flash kernels as if I had S-Off. The only disadvantage is that it's an app and does require a working ROM so a borked flash means I have to fall back to fastboot.

First, for them to root your phone remotely you'd have to give them remote access to your pc. No way I'd trust these clowns with that.
Second, rooting the phone is easy, all you really need to do is get your unlock code from HTC and follow the instructions here on XDA. It's really easy and there are a lot of people here who will help if you need it. The only really tricky thing is s-off, and they can't help you with that remotely since it requires access to your phone.
Now, if you're new to rooting you probably shouldn't go s-off just yet anyway, but that's another topic altogether. Regardless, if these guys root your phone you'll be s-on. The extra steps for s-on flashing aren't difficult, but unless you want to pay them to flash every rom you try you need to learn how to do it yourself. I don't know about everyone else, but I go through phases where I'll change roms several times a week or even daily just to try stuff out.
Third, these halfcab guys are selling other people's roms. Under terms of open source that isn't illegal, but that doesn't make it right. You can download them for free and if anyone deserves money for a rom its the dev who worked on it. They'll take donations! (I think I even saw where halfcab was selling unlock codes. HTC would probably take issue with that.)
Fourth, they're selling WiFi tether. Again, it's free to download. Most ROMS come with it anyway.
So short answer to the OP is no, it isn't legit. It's a ripoff and could leave you with major headaches if you don't learn how to do this stuff yourself anyway. It certainly won't be as convenient as it may sound.

Please don't support someone who sells someone else's work as their own. There may be no law against it, but that doesn't make it right.
And no, rooting / s-offing your phone isn't easy the first time, but you can do it if you read and then ask questions like everyone else has said.
If you're that interested in rooting, you'll be glad you learned to do it yourself.

Don't pay people to do it, you'll be calling them weekly on how to fix stuff. You need to know how to look at an issue solve it and perform the steps necessary to keeping the device going smoothly. If you don't learn the terminology and what each thing does you will be lost forever. I did it for my brother and I get calls all them time How do i do this? its terrible. If your not willing to put some time into it then like they said buy an Iphone. Once you learn though its exciting and fun and its a community everyone here wants more people to learn it makes the platform great.

Hey all...I'm VERY new to all of this rooting stuff...still reading about it and I can't seem to wrap my head around it....Not sure if I'd be crossing a line by asking this, but here it goes....are there people on here that would actually root a phone for someone if they (ie..me) are to stupid to do so?
Of course there would be compensation involved.
Thanks for any info!!!
If you are new to the point that you are not comfortable following the steps needed to root your phone then I would say that you should not be worrying about rooting your phone at this point.
Why do I say this? It is because you will want to flash a myriad of Roms after your phone is rooted, which I guarantee will cause issues that you will not be able to figure out on your own.
You also need to ask yourself what it is that you hope to gain from rooting your phone. The stock Thunderbolt has bloat no doubt, but it is generally compatible with apps and is about to receive the Gingerbread OTA (non-root users theorize) fairly soon.
What do you want that can only be accomplished by rooting your phone at this point? If you cannot answer that question, then I hope you will take my advice and do some reading on this site, and one or two other sites, until you are ready to root your phone without paying someone to do it for you.
One other thing. Please do not create posts asking about the proverbial 'Best Rom'. There is no such thing.
Just my .02 cents!
I appreciate the info....Thanks!!!

I've rooted several devices for friends that have no intention of using clockworkmod. They simply want the advantages of root and to run a new ROM like CM7. I'd be happy to do it for money, and I don't think the end user of a rooted devices needs to know jack about it rooting it to enjoy the benefits. In short, I'm happy to root a device for someone as long as I know they aren't going to get in there and brick the thing somehow and come to me to fix it like it's my problem. Most people are decent enough to do that.
if you look online(or in your local yellow pages), you can find shops locally that will fix, root, etc your cell phone.
just here in San Diego there's about a dozen places that offer these services.
although i will tell you... the first time you figure out you have a problem with your carb and it's bad enough that you can't drive your car... then a "friend" tells you, just bring the carb over here & we'll fix it for you... then you're just standing there looking at the carb and thinking "uhhh..."
now that's rooting a phone x 10 difficultly.
I'll do it for free, teach you how i did it, and give you the basic knowledge of how not to brick. Where are you located?

This is what I always tell people when they ask should the ROOT and ROM. I can't tell you weather you should or shouldn't. You need to make that choice yourself and know that no one is responsible for what you do to your phone.
But if you decided to ROOT and ROM your phone the first thing on your to do list is.....READ. Read everything. Read how to ROOT and how to ROM. Read about the tools and programs you are going to use. Watch youtube videos and tutorials. And when you're done with that......RE-READ and RE-WATCH all of it!
I can't stress how important it is that you understand what you are doing. If you don't get what you're doing you will end up on the forums begging for help to fix it.
I read up on Rooting and Roms for a few weeks before I tried to do it myself. I also asked questions in a respectful manner not expecting an answer RIGHT THEN. I also hit the THANKS button, that goes a long way!
So in a nutshell....EDUCATE yourself and have respect for the community when you ask questions.

a thousand points to mortem very true and valid advice. no truer advice could be spoken about android mods and roms. My personal favorite is when people try to use international roms on things like the skyrocket.
Once you get the itch, you will do it eventually
But good advice above! And while you are researching, a flash counter workaround root method will likely be found.

heh there were atleast 40 bricked epic touch 4g's bricked when the isgs2 ics roms leaked lol people just wouldnt listen.
I would wait until you are past 30 days and know you are going to keep the phone or you have no exchanges. after that you will have to go to warranty support so you can flash back to stock. No need to make additonal work before 30 days.
Who know there may even be a super 1 click root by then?
Halfcab was to root our phone - a simple process according to them. in 3 days they have managed to brick one of our phone and then not properly root the second. Now it is working very poorly. now they have blocked our emails and will not respond to us. According to them a simple download is needed so why are they not responding. Avoid as you probably will not get what you pay for.

I would let the unlimited.io crew or con247 toy around with mine remotely; such has been done during the initial release of the JuopunutBear S-off method. But only because I have observed them to be legitimate developers seeking to better user experiences and knowledge for knowledge's sake. Definitely not some random XDA reader with a website storefront and access to other people's ROMs and tools.
Edit: read the post below this one. Then read it again; it pretty much sums up the situation.
I a firm believer that if you can't root your own device, you should be stock... Hell I'm even against the one click root utilizes for inexperienced users.. part of having root is the understanding that you are now tech support..the only way your going to learn is to do it the hard way. Not by plugging in and clicking root... Ever notice on any forum for a phone with a one click, there's a ton of "help I'm bricked" threads... Funny thing is you never see these before one click is available...kinda hard to become tech support if you have zero knowledge of what a Linux OS is and how to move around with terminal..
Basically I almost don't feel bad for the scam, shoulda took the time to learn what's involved with being rooted...sorry

I understand not wanting to mess it up. Only one case that I have read of a truly messed up phone (couldn't make calls) but it was resolved and was never directly tied to the unlocking process. Area read read and then execute. If you pay attention it'll be fine . don't let any issues people are having scare you. If you pay attention it'll work out great.

yes, true story. the instructions are VERY straight forward, very step-by-step. You CANNOT mess up your phone. If you're unsure of any step or instruction, just re-read the process or rewind the youtube video.
I have to say when it comes to unlocking the one button unroot methods have caused more issues than benefits. I only say that because it made it so easy for people to really wreck their phones once they were unlocked/rooted and not really understanding the risks and what it took to get to that point.
That said of course it took me many, many times of reading through the posts, asking questions and getting help along the way. But in the end I was grateful to have know what I was doing, the risks of wrecking my $700 phone and also the true ease of restoring to stock and starting over, again and again and again until I got it right.
Adam's guide is very helpful and watching his video (although it has changed rapidly for the better) which is likely well out of step with the new method still gives you an appreciation of what it took for these devs to put forth our method of defeating the Big Red. Go for it, its not so bad.

In the time it takes you to respond to this post, you could be half done with the process.
You guys really need to learn how, and take the time to do it yourself, if you want to unlock, install bootloader, and roms. It's the only way to at least half understand what's going on in case you run in to trouble down the road. Really, if you don't have the time to do it now, take what time you do have to read up on the process, so when you do have time, you have a better understanding of what you are really doing. If you need help with the process, there are plenty of people here that will help.
Happy New Year.

I must disagree, just because I don't have time, need or desire to know ADB, doesn't mean that I don't want to use free tethering and so on.
