hello, just got htc dna after rooting/testing the inspire 4g for a very long time. I am confused after reading about process from different sites. The phone is locked from the big V. I would like an "easy" and sure method for unlocking and rooting. I have the goomanager install but as easy as it appears to be to do, I'm reluctant to follow through...do I have to unlock before or is it a do all one step process? What is the best way to proceed? I would be far more courageous if it were not a new phone and not a gift. As nice as it is, I am too used to having a rooted phone to toy with! Thanks for any advice in advance..

Hey everybody thanks for looking in I just recently shifted from the t-mobile g2 and my new atrix is arriving in a week and I'm really excited I've been using htc devices since forever and this is my first motorola device so I'm a little new to the .sbf file system and all and the bootloaders..
I'm a rom fiend and i need my fix also i need to sideload apps.. and need to sim unlock my phone as well.. the phone will be running 2.2 and its factory sealed.
What my question is that can someone point to me a noob friendly guide and also what to start of with? ( i mean should i sim unlock first, BL unlock first or root)
Thanks a lot!
Hello and welcome to the Atrix side of android!
Boot Loader unlock http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Once you have that boot-loader nice and unlocked and good to go your are going to need a decent recovery environment.

Then when you have your recovery environment set up and ready its time for a good ROM to top the project off.
When it comes to picking your rom its mostly about your personal choice.
The two that I have been going back and for on are CheeryBlur

And the Ninja Rom

If you are just getting started I would strongly recommend going with CherryBlur to start as it gives you everything that you should need from the start.
As for root if you use one of these roms you will have it by default.

Hello! i am relatively new to the android phone rooting community (more of a linux/server person) and i was wondering if anybody could assist me in choosing the best way to root my htc thunderbolt (verizon)? My android version is 2.3.4, HTC sense is 2.1, and the software number is 2.11.605.5. Also are there any risk's/cons that i should consider that could possibly outweigh rooting at all? thanks! any help is really appreciated
The best thing is to look thru the development section. There is plenty of info readily available. As to rooting search "revolutionary" but make sure you dont update your phone to the new thunderbolt update thats out 2.11605.9, that cant be rooted yet..
Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hi,
Look HERE
Hello humans, I'm from sgh-i337 and since Everything is so different so I need a complete guide to flash 4.4.2 venom one on pure stock 4.4.2 htc one. I looked around this forum for two days but I still can't understand the steps. The phone is basically pure stock, no s-off or unlocked bootloader. Also, an unbrick method will be very helpful just in case. I respect htc one devs and i am thankful to them for making a better world. So, if someone could help me step by step, it will be very thankful.
Please, the turorial about rooting and custom recovery in 'T-mobile HTC One general' appears to be last edited in 2013 and i don't think it will work on 4.4.2 kitkat. or please at least tell me whether that method works.
Hi world
Im just a newbie here.
And i recently got a used Droid dna
With the version 4.09.605.8
That's what i can afford for the moment
Stock official rom. No root, no s-off, no unlocked boot
I read a lot of old threads before posting this one
And all the answers were pointing to a payed tool called sunshine or moonshine
In My country we can't even have access to an international payement card and 25$ is a lot lot of money. So you could see THE REAL CAN COME A DREAM not the Dream Come true.
Im wondring if there is a free way or tool could help me to root my phone and install a twrp recovery so i will be able to make backup and a lot of stuff
Please tell if Im in the right thread
And what are the safe steps to root my phone etc
Still no answer
