Making Rooting easier for people, I present to you
Ultimate Noob Rooter
I have built this following the rooting techniques from the following places:

By using this method, you agree that you take full responsabily of any actions or concequences
that might happen to you or your phone. Once again, I will not be responsible for anything.
STEPS
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC, if it asks to install drivers just click yes..
1) Download: http://www.fileserve.com/file/M6guyMH
2) Extract the .zip folder named "RootMEnow.zip" anywhere on your computer
3) Open cmd.exe and drag it from the *bottom right corner* to make cmd full screen. (Must be full screen!).
4) on cmd type: root.bat
5) read and follow what it says
6) you're done
----------------------
Some people might get errors saying "missing .dll"
Simply copy the .dll files and place them in this 2 places in your computer
C:\windows\system
C:\window\system32
----------------------
Credits go to..
cdsbj6508 (For alllll the testing)
Cyanogen, nbetcher (for the rooting methods)
and me, Xologist
I'm a total noob and this way of rooting my slide was easy and worked GREAT!!!! Thank you Xologist you ROCK!!
Thanks-
One thing you may want to add: users have to cd to the directory that they extract the RootmeNOW.zip in, e.g., if you extracted it into the documents folder, you'd have to open cmd, and type
cd C:\users\usernamehere\documents\rootmenow
and then the commands. Some SUPERnoobs don't know to cd to be able to run a batch file.

Normally that would be true.. but since I put CMD.exe in that folder, cmd starts at the path of the folder

Wait.. what?? You are distributing cmd.exe?
I think that MS is not going to be cool with that....
I didn't download the file, so if I've misunderstood then you have my apologies.

What's wrong with sending cmd.exe ?
that's like me sending you a text.txt document.. everyone has it on windows either way..

xologist: I appreciate that you have been trying to consolidate information in the MT3GS forums lately and make things a bit more noob friendly, but this comment just blows my mind.
It is in no way like sending a text.txt document. Not sure how you can even make that leap .
Cmd.exe is a proprietary program written by MS and governed by the license under which you have acquired Windows. One of the chief points in that license is that you are not allowed to redistribute, in whole or in part, Windows. Cmd.exe is quite clearly a part of Windows and not allowed to be distributed.
On the other hand, if I were to create a file called Test.txt, I would presumably put some text in there. That is a file I would have created and is therefor mine to do with what I please, as I would be the creator of the work..
You really MUST remove cmd.exe from your download. Not trying to be difficult, just want the forums here to stay legal

Lol. Like I said I appreciate what you're trying to do! Just (trying) to keep it from getting removed...

stupid question, i know...
however, how easy is it to unroot the device and return to tmo software?

Youre right. Its cool to make things easy for people, but legality is a must. Plus it wouldnt kill noobs to learn how to mount a directory (personally dont think its rocket science)

During the progress bar, I get message that saysnno image, and wrong image. After the progress bar is done, I get this on my screen. Main version is older. Update Fail! Do you want to reboot the device? <vol up> Yes, <vol down> No. Finally I get E: failed to verify whole-file signature. E: verification failed Installation aborted.
There are two threads devoted to unrooting your phone. Please search.
The easiest away to make it "noob proof" would be to make a batch file (.bat) to cd to the directory and execute the commands for the user instead of including command prompt.

Doesn't work.
When cmd returns the # (pound sign), the .bat doesn't know what to keep doing.
Not only that, but if someone downloads it to their user folder, there MIGHT be a windows variable for the user directory similar to ~ in linux, but not sure. So you might not be able to do that. Even so, if someone downloaded it to the wrong location after only scanning directions, it would break the whole process and they'd come here whining "HERP FAIL DEV DIS BROKEN HERE HOW2ROOT DERPPPPPPPP".
It'd be all bad, is what I'm trying to say here, lol.

Guys, calm down.. everything has been fixed..
really didn't think it was possible to screw this up...
but i guess, where there's a will, there's a way.
tried going through instructions. kept getting a lot of errors from cmd, but the commands kept going.
booted back into white screen with writing, and nothing happened.
4. The device will show a progress bar (can take time), ABSOLUTELY DO NOT POWER DOWN WHILE IT'S STILL FLASHING!!!
that step does not happen, nor any of the ones after it. not correctly, anyway.
what am I missing here?
Anyone find a fix? They say its caps sensitive but that still didn't fix my issue.
Okay, copy the code from the website onto your clipboard, then once you are on the adb window, you are going to need to go alt+spacebar then a menu will pop up, then e, then p and it will paste the code from you clipboard!
Nope solved the problem. The Revolutionary tool and the Evo 3D box have two different serial numbers. The first time I used the box serial number, this time I used the tool serial number and it accepted it.
Oh, my method worked for me...sorry i couldnt be of more help.

You did help me out, I didn't know how to paste in cmd before this lol.
Hi, I had this problem too and didn't know about the paste function in adb.
also, i believe when i put in my serial number to get my beta key i selected the incorrect hboot...should this still have affected the "invalid beta key"?

Yea. Just re-register with all the correct info.
I Haz 3D
I tried that, and it gave me the same beta key...I'll still try again when I get a chance tho and use the paste function..
any other suggestions in case it doesn't work again?

Had the same issue with invalid beta key...My solution was to just be sure i typed the code in correctly....case sensitivity was the issue...after that all went well...Hope this helps..

Either you typed the serial number in wrong or the code in wrong.
Got it to work!!! I must have typed it in wrong because when I just copied and pasted, there was no problem at all!!

I just went to the website from my phone to get the beta key. The characters (L & I) were clear enough for me to distinguish between the two. That's what solved it for me.

I even tried this and I still can't get it to accept my beta key
Any other ideas would be great.
Same happened to me my mistake was not adding the "HT" in front of the serial number.
I also tired both Hboot versions and it gave me the same Beta Key.
I had the same problem but right click the top of the cmd box not within the cmd but the top you can copy and paste. Took me forever to figure mines out
Rooted 3D in full affect
I'm having the same problem with Invalid Beta key
I have copied and pasted the key but still get the same reply.
Hope someone can help.
I did a software update then tried again and this time it worked.
I just typed mine in, did you check your serial number was correct? Need to include the HT at the beginning.
Hey guys, I had the same problem like 6,7 times initially even though i was typing every correctly... but copy pasting the code directly into adb fixed the problem for me... even though i have typed it out exactly
you probably need to open the script file from command prompt in order to be able to get the right click functions to work
I have tried over and over copy and paste, re-typed the SN in case sensitivity and all can not get this to work at all! evo 3d and the regular evo are having this issue anyone know?

when you start up the revolutionary script, it shows you the device's SN and hboot version... make sure you type that in properly
hi guys, i'm new in this forum, and i'm new to android too, i just bought a htc desire x and want it to be root, but i have problem when trying to get token id in hasoon2000 HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013], it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file.
usb debugging is already connected, please any one kindly fixing my problem, thx
sorry for my bad english. btw i'm from indonesia
Did you follow these steps?
How To Use. THIS IS FOR THE PC ONLY. No plans ever for Mac or Linux. Sorry.
1. Download the toolkit DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
2. Download Winrar from here. Install it after you download it
3. Extract the folder anywhere.
4. Run the program.
thx for replying so quick, after i downloaded then i extract to desktop and just run the program by clicking the symbol written as desire, am i doing it right?
Try to unpack it somewhere else on a root of some partition of your PC, try to unpack it to non system partition.
ok thx, i'll try it tomorrow, i'm sorry i've to go home coz it's 11.41pm already in my town, and i'm still on friend's house.
thx anyway for your reply, i'll let you know the progress
hi nlooooo, i did what u told me to do and it worked, i unpacked to (Cdrive, but another problem came on my device when i clicked get token id.
here is the picture shows the problem
@nlooooo.....i just tried your way on rooting this device, and same problem came up on step 8 when getting token id, still it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file, i've found out my device still locked, is it because of the device still lock? here's the image shown
problem solved
hi nlooooo......i've rooted my device, just try to put all the downloaded file to C:drive, and followed your tutorial on your thread, and i succeeded, at least i saw superuser on my device, thx alot for your tutorial.
No problem, that's why we're here. If you see it then it should be it. Try to install some app that requires root privileges (Titanium Backup for ex) and see if it can get SU rights.
hi.....any recommendation of apps or what to do after this rooting? cos i really a noob in android and root things. thx

Go and open Superuser app, swipe to first screen and see if the binary is installed. Then go and clear data for Titanium and open it again.
If you still have the problem use some root explorer to check folder system/bin if there is a file named su.

the boot loader is recognizing the usb connection as Fastboot usb.
using windows 7 32 bit operating system.
tried putting the unlock_code in c drive and desktop but it doesnt work.
the file is just a 1kb file.
the default view is shown as a vlc player file.
any help will much appreciated. this is my 1st htc mobile and am not used to this kind of rooting. previously owned a samsung so was using odin a lot.
I'm trying to root my phone using the Lelus method. As far as I know, I'm following the instructions to the letter. When I get to the actual flashing step, using the ICS T-mobile rom, I get the same "Scheduled Server Maintenance" error that Kevev reported in the guide thread on the development forum. Apparently, he was able to successfully flash, but I don't see any information there as to how he got around the error. I have tried repeatedly and always come up with the same result. Since I can't post yet in a development forum, I have to ask the question here. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't have a clue. I ask your indulgence, and would appreciate any help you can give me.

You get such hiccups if you dont follow the simple instruction first. Many people have habit to extract/save everything on desktop. C drive means C root location of C drive. And you must be logged in as "ADMINISTRATOR USER" on windows 7/8 to avoid access/permission issues.

I'm used to Linux rather than Windows and when possible I put things in a user's home directory rather than the root directory. Since all that the instructions said was C drive, I interpreted that to mean anywhere on the C drive, not the root directory. Now that I put the program in the root directory, everything worked perfectly.
Thanks for your guide!
I just rooted my p769. I had a few hiccups.
Line 5a says optional, but really it's a necessary step if you've never done it once. If you've edited your HOSTS file and are running shttp, then it's not gonna be able to download/update what it needs to. Close shttp and rem out the lines in HOSTS until it updates, the continue as normal.
shttp has to be extracted in C:\
Mine ran from desktop but the 127.0.0.0:9002 test for the girls picture was file not found, look at shttp dialog window and you see it couldn't find the file because it wasn't where it expected it..
Also did you forget to right click and edit UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe compatibility tab if you're running win7/8 like it says to?
Once I set it all up according to the image in the thread and clicked "Normal web upgrade test" it gave me an error box. Saying to setup Tool > B2C Client Setup.
After that it was easy sailing. Well other than the fact that some of the KDZ/bin files were either missing, deleted or dropbox blocked the account for excessive use..
Here is great guide : https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ttings-tile-toggle-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
Worked for me.
I'll have to try this tomorrow when I have the android-tools-adb package installed on KDE Neon good this will definitely come in useful for me when I only want to turn off some connection types instead of going full airplane mode.
EDIT: yay for Samsung's keyboard in all it's typo riddled glory... think I fixed all of them this time.
Thank you for this share. The tutorial is not without its traps. Nightmare to get the strong to paste properly in a Windows Bash environment, and on the Mac, I am getting syntax errors, referencing the "Custom()" tiles in the code.
If you get it to work, please share the solution, thanks!
i got it working on the first try on my Windows PC. Real easy if follow carefully. used ctrl +c, Ctrl +v to copy paste in command. thanks for the share.

Thanks for your response, brother. I didn't end up using your code, cause the guide finally worked for me using a Windows 10 Machine. All commands and outputs looked right and went well on the Windows 10 CMD line and the shell inside adb. Got my MobileData toggle without a reboot, instantly!
Thanks and good luck to everyone!
For what it's worth and to help everyone in the future, this is what my outcomes were like:
1. Windows 10 - All successful! Guide worked perfectly.
2. Mac OS X - Copy/paste looked right, but was getting the '(' Expected error on the put command in Terminal/ADB/Shell.
3. Windows Vista - The copy/paste looked so bad on the put command that I never executed the event. Especially since I didn't know how to copy and push the original sysui_qs_tiles file.
Thanks!
