Root without unlocking - HTC Droid DNA

Is it possible to root without unlocking? I know there's so much more that can be done if I unlock. I really have minimal use for root, just one app that needs it.

No.
To achieve root access, you must unlock.
Similar to: If the glove dont fit, you must acquit.
Also, this is in the wrong forum, so mods should move it.

this should be in q&a bo

Everytime I see a new thread in the development section I get so happy and then im like, damn it. Unless it actually is development related.

Technically, yes it is.
No it isn't what you think, and it won't accomplish what you want.

No trolling intended. Just havin some fun being sarcastic.
So, I just picked up my new EVO 4G LTE, how can I haz root to flash MIUI Jellybean?
This is going to be fun! Looks like some truly legendary devs have made pre-orders!
BTW, to the MODS.. Thanks for opening up a forum for us!

I wonder if the root process will be as simple as the HTC One and One X?
I would think it would be similar, since the phones are so similar.
But what do I know. I'm not even close to being a dev.
dont mean to kill the mood, but this is the dev section guys. lets move the discussion to the general section. lets not give our new moderator a tough time before the phone even launches

I had read the One X had a locked bootloader... is it already cracked open?
I plan on getting this Evo, so hopefully it isn't a couple months before s-off and root is attained again. I would rather not have hindered development this time around.

When did you get your evo. it had root before day 1. A couple of times it got lost, but only to people on new devices and people who couldn't wait for the devs to get a hold of the new Stock ROMs.

Is there any doubt this is the next benchmark phone. The OGEvo is still in my opinion the only SuperPhone. A first of many standards, and the only phone i know you can plug directly into the TV for watching Vids.
I have lived off contract for the last 4 years. Yes i finally used my Upgrade for this phone.
Who is the forum mod anyways?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
I would imagine root would be very similar to one x international. Use HTC unlock, fastboot recovery, flash superuser.
I am sure other ways will come as well, but I suspect that will be the first

cant install rom now cus of h boot, i hate htc

any work arounds?
1. Yes, you can still flash ROMs even on the new hboot.
2. All you have to do is use RegawMOD to do everything, and then flash a couple of SU zips.
3. Questions belong in the Q&A section.
In the future, never accept an ota

Well, what I'm going to probably do is accidentally my phone, then get another without the HBOOT problem. Unless I can be more patient, but...S-OFF = awesome. .
You can do HTC unlock which is what I had to do... Works great. I am enjoying all the roms as if I was s-off

But it's not S-OFF!!! Everyone wants S-OFF. I want S-OFF. And I'm impatient. I want to flash my damn splash screen and boot screens and stuff. Grrrrrrrrrr....
BUT...I love this phone. I want to break it and get another, but then I feel like I'm breaking my small child or something...and that's never fun.

Good advice!
...not as much fun, though.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the previous doesn't mean that I can't wait, it just means that I feel the frustration of others who had bad things happen (like OTA updates!). We'll get it, though. Still a new phone, still lots of fun stuff to play with....and at least we have the HTC Unlock available, and can still get root.

Well.. Someone complained and blamed HTC for their own mistake, and then someone else decided they wanted to purposely break their phone in order to get a new one.
So it's probably as silly as it looks.
Being S-off is overrated. Its the same as being HTC Unlock.

That's not exactly true after this last update. If I recall correctly, if you HTC Unlock on 1.22, you can't flash kernels through recovery, you have to do it another way. I think there were other things we couldn't do anymore as well.

Absolutely not my good sir. In Addition to flashing kernels, you can't flash radios, splash screens, ect through recovery and you can't flash anything not signed by HTC via bootloader

Flash the stock 2.3.4 with root and then flash siyah or entropy's kernel for CWM. There's your spoon feeding for the day
Sent from team Pirate! Using Tapatalk 2
Questions belong in the Q&A forum, not general.
Many of the methods will not work. You can flash a custom kernel which injects root (increments the flash counter.) There is a rooted stock ICS in the original development section (does not increment the flash counter.)
No no no! Creepy, they don't want the EASY way dude. Have u learned nothing? They want to update with kies. So they can make a thread about not being able to update with kies. Then make another about the correct drivers and how kies sucks in general. Then they wanna use that for 2 days , find out how bad it sucks, then try and flash back to something else with Odin. Except they can't get Odin to work. New thread time again! Then once they get that spoon feeding goodness they wanna Odin back to stock and flash a new ROM. Except....wait for it....they're getting status 7 errors cause they're trying to flash a ported i9100 rom! New thread baby!!!

You have to understand that these people have learned from hard work and research.. The answers are out there. It doesnt take long to find out. They arent "being dicks". If you think about it, they are helping you because you are obviously are going to have more issues(small or big,still an issue) and if you read these stickies and posts, you wouldnt have any problem fixing them. And that just debloats these threads

No man no I wasn't directing anything at u when I was saying what I said about people not wanting to take the easy way and creating a bunch of threads. I was talking about the loads of people who are already / have done that. Most of us here have inside jokes with one another cause we see each other on here a lot. I would never want anyone to think I don't like them or purposefully hurt someone. Like Nick said u gotta have a thick skin around here, and most of us aren't trying to hurt anyone. Just jabbing each other.

Hanging out in the IRC room I see approximately 1-2 per day. Always the same thing, not following directions. Make sure you copy and paste the commands DO NOT TRY TO TYPE THEM YOURSELF. I see people brick all the time because they typed the commands themselves and missed something. Also if you see anything that even SLIGHTLY resembles an error, go to the IRC room and ask for help. DON"T REBOOT. Sorry for yelling.

I know you could root the Galaxy S3 without unlocking the bootloader. Does anyone know if I could do the same on the DNA? I want to use some apps that require root access but I don't want to void my warranty by unlocking.

We do communicate, and still the same questions get asked over, and over, and over. It can become a bit frustrating after awhile.
9 times out of 10, if you simply copy and paste the OP's question into Google the answer will pop right up in the first couple of results.
I will say the same thing I said on a different thread...
When a question is asked people who know the answer have two options...
A) You choose to answer the question
B) You choose not to answer the question...
To come up with a smartass remark while NOT answering the question makes you a special kind of douchebag.
If a person is posting in this forums is because they were searching. Nobody comes to this forums as their first instinct...they find these forums because they are searching the answer to a question.
