Got a quick question....I have a rooted incredible and want to switch to the resound but wasn't sure if buying a new one was the way to go. Can I still root one if it comes from verizon?

The Rezound will always be rootable. No update will prevent it since HTC supports the unlocking of the bootloader. Since we have that, we have root forever.
Let me start first by saying, this is my second maxx because I rooted and bricked the first one the first day I had it.
I'm posting this to see if anyone can confirm a wifi tether app working on the stock rom (rooted of course) before I root this one because when I root, I'm gonna leave it on the stock rom til the bootloader is unlocked and cwm has a fully working recovery for this phone.
I am currently unrooted with firmware. 181.XT912.Verizon.end.US.
Thanx in advance.

Ill check out the wifi tether app in a few minutes here for u, but cwm does have a fully working recovery unless u mean something different than I'm thinking of. And the boot loader may never be unlocked as far as I know

There is a mobile hotspot hack on these pages somewhere. I couldn't get any tether apps to work but the hack worked wonders. Been using it a lot the last few days I've been on vacation.

I just use FoxFi for a tether app and works great
Foxfi works well and doesn't require root.

FoxFi is a free app in Google Play, and does not require root. BTW, it's very doubtful that Motorola will ever unlock the bootloader.

Yes, I've been using FoxFi for about 4 months now, and VZW is non the wiser. My bill has stayed the same.
Just a note about FoxFi- occasionally, when you turn the hot spot on, it won't show on the device you want to send wifi to. Turn the hot spot off and back on again, and normally, you're good to go. It's not a perfect app... but it is free, does not require root, and won't effect your bill.

Lucky guy... got mine from Amazon about a month ago and it was already updated when I got it. Seriously disappointed, but it's still a great phone. Even simple root would make it a lot better, though.

Did you order it from Verizon? I'm wanting to upgrade to the DNA on Friday 4/26 but the no root is not making me want to. What did you all to make sure it was good?

Hey Buddy!
Just send it off to get JTAG before you take it out of the box I just did one that way. I picked it up and powered it on though before I stuck it back in the box and shipped it out.
Honestly I'd probably buy one outright and save the upgrade for a new phone.

Hey, good to see a name I know. I'm actually using my wife's upgrade to get the DNA and keeping my unlimited data. She is going to take my rezound. Once I can get the upgrade on my line I will use wire fly to transfer my upgrade to her and get a newer phone. Im trying to my unlimited at all cost. I never heard of JTAG. I'll check it out.
Also what's up with the no root?

The devs exploited the bootloader to get us unlocked and achieved a 1 minute s off process. Then one of the updates closed up the hole we were using basically. Everyone who ever unlocked before the update is fine. it's only phones that didn't have the CID changed (HTC-Dev hboot unlock is achieved by changing the CID from Verizon's to a custom 2222222 CID then using htc-dev.com like normal) that can't be unlocked.
JTAG accesses the service ports on the main board with a special hardware called a riif box. It accesses the device at the lowest level so locked bootloader is no obstacle. It's like what the manufacturer uses to flash the DNA firmware onto the board. So its kinda like if HTC plugged up the phone and unlocked it and turn the security flag off.
You send them the phone, they open it up, wire it to the hardware box and use the accompanying software to do whatever you need, it will even flash at a low enough level to repair a true software brick as long as its not a hardware explosion or something that bricked it.

Whatever you do, don't let it update when you get it! I recommend not installing the SIM (so it can't phone home) and unlocking it first. If you're not too comfortable with using adb, I think my writeup (in my sig) explains it well enough for you to follow.

Anyone,
I'm not an android noob, but I left Android a few years back (2.3.3 / 2.3.4) due to work changing to iPhones for data encryption reasons. I came back to Android when more Samsung phones started supporting ODE (on device encryption). I would like to root my phone and have done so on other Android phone's using SuperOneClick, CWM, etc.
I am reading that there is a secure boot loader on the AT&T version of this phone in USA, so I am screwed in gaining root access to the device? I'd really like to delete all this bull**** bloatware they've installed... and a tethering app without using the carrier option.
Can anyone help?
I have the AT&T version as well. I'm not 100% sure that the bootloader is the reason for no root yet. Other phones have locked bootloaders and can still be rooted.
Running custom roms might be another story. I get the impression that because this is not a "mainstream" phone that it does not get top priority. For example, the Moto X on AT&T has a locked bootloader and that's rooted already, but it's a very popular phone.
Hopefully we'll get some love sooner rather than later. I would be happy with root along with an easy way to go back to stock.

No boot loader unlock, no root, so no custom ROMs as yet.

The international one has root and recovery already. I guess htc dev works to. Maybe us at&t users will luck out.
US carriers promised to lock things down tightly after the One came out. I guess we'll see.
Good thing i have a 14 day return period lol. Cant live without root.
do we know if this device has a locked bootloader that will be hard to crack or will they actually design it to be unlocked like sony does.
im trying to decide between m8 and z2, and i know sony has been cool in the past with allowing the phone to be easily rooted and unlocked to allow flashing. i am coming from a galaxy s4 with unlocked mdk bootloader but i am upgrading and i want to be able to mod my phone
did anyone try htc-dev or kingo?

I have returned quite a few phones that I have relocked and unrooted without one problem through warranty exchange. I'm not concerned with it at all and I am on the Next program as of this phone. Besides that, the warranty is up after the 1st year. This is just my experience and I can't speak for everyone.
