Hi I got the DNA about a month ago and I love it but I really want to root it and install the m7 Rom. I've done a little research and know my firmware needs to be 1.x.x.x but I have the newest version. How do I downgrade and what's the easiest way to root? Thanks for the assistance
You can not root your phone at this point in time. Aside from sending it to someone to open it up and s off through jtag.

I was wondering if anyone knows if i can keep root after taking the ics ota. Ive tried root keeper but when i update my phone just reboots like normal? Can someone help or at least shed some light on how to even update using the ota without root? Thanks!

The usual wisdom is to never take ota if you are rooted. Why not just flash a stock, rooted Rom?

I could but thats not what i was asking...

The reason I suggested that is because you will lose root if you take the ota and will have to unlock using HTC dev, then flash a custom recovery, then install super user again. My suggestion is easier.

I got an lg marquee for sprint (ls855) for free and I want to root. I'm pretty sure its updated as its on gingerbread 2.3.4. Is there any way to root it or flash it to boost easily if it can be rooted that way. I can't find any way to do it and I really want it rooted and/or on boost. Thanks for the help guys

I've been searching for some time now. My other phone is the Boost LG Marquee and from what I've read if your phone has been updated as of now you will not be able to root the phone. I also read that to root our phones we would have to restore the old version before the update. From there I believe super oneclick will work.
My problem is finding instructions to restore the older version.

I want to root and unlock the bootloader on my phone, but the unlock methods I have look at don't work on 2.x firmware, which my device has. Is there a way to downgrade back to the older firmware so I can unlock, root, and ROM my phone? Thanks in advance!

Nope. Only way you can do that stuff is through jtag. Which involves you paying someone and you sending your phone to them.

So I'll just have to wait for someone to unlock the bootloader for the 2.x firmware? Do you think someone will find a way to?

Hey all. Finally decided to root my one. Does it make sense to wait for it's kitkat ota update and then root ? Would this change any of the steps in the root process?

You should wait, if you root you can download a Rom that is 4.4.2. But things like WiFi calling doesn't work.
Go ahead and root. After a official 4.4.2 is released someone will put out a custom ROM that will already have root as well so why wait

I just s-offed using firewater now, as it's possible the exploit could be patched in the next update...

Yes s-off that might be patched until a new exploit like gustav said and also imo a custom recovery to have some fun and trying out a few custom roms while you wait for an update just remember to use the update you need a locked bootloader and IIRC you need a stock recovery both not hard to get (someone plz correct me if im wrong about recovery)
Thanks guys I rooted but have been having trouble getting some tethering apps to work I think my kernel is write protected? Can anyone recommend a rom that has cool customization stuff and is also good with tethering?

Edit - I flashed insertcoin and the tethering works great.
Hey guys. My phones annoying me. Only solution is root.

How do I go about rooting on 4.2.2 then going back up to 4.3 .136
Any help would be so greatful

Read the sticky on downgrading, and the one on rooting and getting ready to flash. Then ask questions in that thread if you get stuck.
