quick questions..
1) What is best way to wifi tether without voiding the warranty (S-Off)
2) if I decide to go S-Off route and install ICS Sense roms, is there a way I get traditional rosie (round one, not the rectangular one with more icons). I prefer original HTC rounded style rosie.
1) I don't know, but just for accuracy, this phone doesn't have s-off, just an unlocked bootloader.
2) If you stick with the GB ROMs you will have the Rosie you want, I believe. Here's a shot of my homescreen:
EDIT: Just saw you asked about ICS and original Rosie... I don't know.
Well that was a wasted post! lol. Sorry.
anyone else has some feedback ?

Fera is completely right about not having S-OFF, we only have dev unlock which allows us to change boot, system, and recovery partitions.
There are wifi tethering options that don't require root. Most of which involve paying for wifi hotspot. There are free USB tethering options that do not require root.
If you go up to ICS, there is no current method to use Sense 3.5(the Gingerbread version of Sense). On ICS, you get Sense 3.6 or better which is the 5 column dock all of the current ICS ROMs have.

Yeah but the ICS Rosie is much more functional. It helps keep your desktop clean with its ability to put multiple apps into folders. When I briefly went back to GB to get the OTA radio update, I couldn't believe how much I missed the ICS Rosie.

If you actually have S-Off like I do and your running ICS like I am, then you should just be able to download the Wifi Tether App 3.1-beta 11. With that set up the device profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE), enable routing fixing, and you should be set, also if you have the S-Off I guess you dont run into the issue of not being able to use the encryption, I'm able to use it no problem. There is no current method to get S-Off as previously stated by others, I have S-Off by pure luck, turned in my RELOCKED Rezound to my Local VZW store and the replacement they gave me had S-Off, stroke of luck!

being a noob.. i made a mistake of equating unlocked boot loader to s-off.
i am actually looking to wifi-tether without unlocking the bootloader. ad-hoc is fine. i know without unlocked bootloader, i get temp root. Is that enough to tether ? also i want to be able to tether without verizon figuring out (i think their official app changes the apn so they will know right away). And of course it will great if I can do it without buying any app..

sorry if you want to steal bandwidth, you have to root. Not sure how long temp root lasts these days.
And temp root is gone with the OTA so if you want the newer radios and the wifi tethering after the OTA you need to perm root.

nope.. I am not stealing bandwidth. It is same bandwidth which is already paid for. Well, that's entirely different conversation.
When we finally get root (through either an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF), what are your specific plans on using it for?
I plan to:
Flash custom recovery
Obtain or create a stock de-odexed ROM (if there's an update and no one has put one out yet).
Remove all the bloat.
Insert my own specific apps and data to it (so I don't have to go around re-installing or updating everything every time I re-flash it)
Implement an OC kernel and find out if 1.5 GHz is the real clock speed of this processor and it was just underclocked, which has been discussed but not proven that I have seen. I know the latest OC kernel is only really getting 1.458 GHz, but I can dream.
Three-Dot Remap!
Get rid of Wi-Fi nag!
Flash ROM!
Utilize root-only apps I have.
Finally be content.
Get bored and flash Viper ROM
Wonder why I didn't use this in the first place
Figure out how to revert the theme back to stock HTC Sense but keep the tweaks.
Live blissfully ever after.
Quickly get bored.
Wonder when Jellybean will come out for our phone, or when an awesome dev will make it.
Wait impatiently.
Watch as Key Lime Pie arrives and we still haven't gotten Jellybean.
Freak out!
Yeah, the first 10 will happen for sure, likely the next 4 will happen after a few weeks, and inevitably, when my flashing addiction gets too great, the next three items will follow. Hopefully we'll have several Jellybean ROM options before Key Lime Pie comes out, though.
Personally, I'll be happy just getting root, either through the bootloader unlock or S-OFF, as long as I can get the ROM customized the way I want it.
I really don't think that's an unreasonable request, Verizon. Let us unlock!

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that got an unlock code, flashed recover and rooted before everything got locked up. My phone hasn't had any updates pushed to it, my root still works and I'm a happy camper!
Initially the reason I rooted was just to get wireless-tether to work, as I relied on it heavily with my last few phones. I don't know how I managed to get the Inc 4G on an upgrade without loosing my unlimited data plan, as I understand most folks were forced onto a tiered plan due to the phone being released after the grandfather date for the unlimited plans. Stroke of luck #2!
At the moment, root has bought me wireless-tether, allowed me to actually yank some bloat instead of just disabling it and given me more flexibility when playing around with alternate launchers. What I'm really waiting for is the forthcoming ROMs so I can get a de-Sensed OS on this bad boy. I can only imagine how wicked fast it's gonna be without Sense and all the other crap. Plus ICS is damn sexy looking all on its own!

I'll do a full Nandroid backup immediately after #1. Then:
Remove bloat,
install wireless tether
install 3-button remap,
install TiB and backup all installed apps+data.
put all of my custom ringtones into the system area so they stay put
After thoroughly enjoying that for a few days (or minutes), then make a 2nd Nandroid backup and flash the Viper ROM, assuming it's out of Beta test.

I modified the framework-htc-res.apk by removing the 4 pngs mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30679535&postcount=40
I wasn't entirely sure which version the files were downloadable in that post, so I just modified my own. It was really a joy: Actually being able to get to the files using Root Explorer, pulling them off of the phone to my PC, modifying the framework files, changing the filesystem to R/W, and then putting them back. I had nearly forgotten that simple pleasure.
Not seeing that stupid icon in the notification area has been so uplifting today. I swear I've turned on the display several times today just to not see it there.
The question is now what we going to do with s-off after this epically long stint without root and s-off. It's like the doors of willa wonkas factory being open for the first time, yes.

You can use either Chainfire's SuperSU or ChainsDD's Superuser. Either should work fine. Unless ChainsDD has updated his Elite, the advantage to SuperSU is the checkbox to disable and hide Superuser. I cannot say if that option is a Pro only option because I have the paid versions for both. (note: you can have only one of them installed at a time)
Then again Superuser Elite has OVER 9000!!!
No the chainfire 3D app that deals with graphic

Well I just bought a Note 2 yesterday and I'm ready to root it. There are a couple of questions I need help with if anyone is willing:
1.
Was wondering what is the best rom that is out. For now I actually like the stock rom that is on the phone now. I just came from owning a S3 and had it rooted, and was running Eclipse Rom, and Paranoidandroid. Liked them both but when I flashed the roms my cell signal went to crap. was really annoying. So i just want to be able to run a Rom that is pretty much stock.
2.
I wanted to run diffrent apps in my multitask window, like netflix, hbo go, etc. Was looking at this thread and didnt really understand what rom I can run to be able to use this tweak.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961314
I'm not a computer genius but I do know how to Root my phone and flash roms, just wanted to make sure I flash a stable ROM and wondering how to get this multitasking tweak on my phone.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Jelly Beans or CleanROM are the most popular TW based ROMs right now. They are both based on stock (so they are stable) and I think both have the Multitasking mod you are looking for.

No issues with GPS here on Jelly Beans build 4. Pretty much an instant lock.
Kinda curious is it just as good to root my phone with the one click root or do I really have to do the Odin thing. Also just to be sure after I do the root can I just use the EZ-Unlock app in googler play to unlock bootloader

You don't have to flash when you root to enjoy the benefits of it. You'll still be able to take advantage of root only features in apps etc. imo it's best in your case to just stay stock if you are happy with it, since that's the most stable. I went through a ton of roms on my Incredible and eventually went back to stock because all of them had some kind of instability. Some crashed every once in a while when you used the camera app and the phone restarted (which took like 5 minutes and made me miss out on photos), a couple others dropped 3G randomly and never got it back until you restarted the phone, etc. If there's nothing that makes a rom seem much better than stock for you, just stay stock.

There's a security hole that leaves specific Exynos devices vulnerable to malicious apps because any app can gain root access without permission. Which is good... and bad. In this case... the apk can root your device and fix the security hole.
Use that if you don't want to unlock and just want to mod the multiwindow. If you want to unlock the bootloader as well so you can flash custom ROMs, use Adam Outler's method to root and unlock here
Adams procedure on unlock and root worked flawless for me and took less than 5 minutes.
And the whole stock rom is best and every other rom has bugs. Well you have ran eclipse before so you know that is not true. These great devs put in a lot of hard work to make these devices even better than what they are stock. Isnt that the whole point of getting an android? I have yet to find a bug yet with this cleanrom 3.5

Hey there community. I live in Guam. I have a verizon fascinate still running on eclair. I want to upgrade to froyo, but since we don't have verizon on Guam, I cant get the OTA update. So I'm just looking for the simplest, easiest way to upgrade phone without having to root it. Help me out!!
You're going to have to root it if you want the latest upgrades (ICS, JB, etc). I don't know if Odining the 2.3 stock rom will work for you since it's for Verizon... why don't you want to root? Also, you may have to have someone help you to make certain roms work for different carriers
Well the thing is I'm trying to avoid rooting altogether. I just wanted move up from eclair to froyo. So I can use the play store instead of the android market. trying to make it as simple as possible but nothing that simple on guam.

You might not have to root it if you can find a stock rom for your specific carrier that you can push through Odin but you're probably better off just rooting and going on a GB or JB rom that's been tweaked for your carrier

Yesterday I updated my Verizon HTC One Max to 4.4.2 via OTA update. Is it possible to root this phone on that firmware? I am asking because I'm reading conflicting information on root only available for 4.3 devices but then I have seen people selling 4.4.2 rooted on eBay. Please someone guide me. Thanks in advance!
Also I am interested in ROOT only. I don't want to flash any custom roms or anything. Thanks.
Did you try towelroot?
Try a program called sunshine. It will get you on the right track. It does cost $25, but it works.
Thats the way I had to go sunshine 25.00 I tried everything else and nothing worked for me but that program for the OTA sense 6
I'm going to be in the same boat tomorrow. Finally putting my rezound to rest and getting a one max and keeping my verizon unlimited. Looking to root, debloat, and wifi tether.
Assuming the phone I'm going to look at will be updated to the latest... if this program works and is easy for $25 bucks... sweet. I have modified mogul, incredible, thunderbolt, and rezound without paying much besides donating or puying a few pro versions of apps. Mainly just rooted and flashed debloated stock roms. Nothing heavy.

Likewise, just bought a VZW OneMax off Swappa and will be here on Thursday. I don't mind supporting developers who create quality apps/ROMS for us. Well worth it!
So...I haven't tried anything yet. Just got the phone and did a factory reset. Its 4.4.2 sense 6.0 3.09.605.2 (verizon obviously)
I'm really just looking for a stock rooted rom, that is debloated, or that I can erase a bunch of dumb apps myself. Then just need to add wifi tether.
I have messed with these things before but the last time was when i got the incredible, tbolt, and rezound on their launch days... so its been awhile. haha
Wondering what type of things I should be gathering for running the sunshine?
Is this what I am to expect???
1. run sunshine
2. install twrp
3. flash this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768021
4. Enjoy?? ha

Only 3.5 Hours from first sitting down with the phone, to figure out how to do all that work, and having all of the apps installed and in their place. Now to find a wifi tether app that works (or figure out the "wifi tether" app settings) and not let the OCD get to me of having an extra set of icons on every screen. I've had the same 4x4 home screen layouts for years. Rest easy Rezound.
Thanks for all the help. Appreciate it!!

I didn't try the red "mobile hotspot" app.... and I deleted it thru titanium backup without saving a backup first
I always used "wifi tether for root users" on the rezound and tbolt. I know it was finicky with the order that you checked all of the different settings. Once you figured out the order and things to check, it works flawlessly. I'm not picky though and will use whatever tether app that works...
Must. Use. Slingbox. At. Cabin.

Derp dirty flash that Rom again. That app was wide open for use. You don't need to mess with root hotspot apps.

Does that mean just go back into recovery and reflash the same way?
I assume it will just fill back in the apps i deleted and not mess with any of the rest of the crap I added and setup?

Just needed a little encouragement before I effed up my new hardware. Haha
