So, I am on the HTC Deluxe (Off-Branded CDMA), and I only see Verizon information, and not off-branded carriers. I am wanting to root my device, but so far, I can't find any information on other carriers, just Verizon. If anyone could help, that would be amazing.

I followed these directions a while back on my Deluxe. The HTC bootloader unlock site worked for my device so I didn't have to go through the extra trouble in step one. Heed the warning, it will wipe EVERYTHING from your device. This will allow you to install a recovery.img and then to gain root on your device.

I can't say for certain. I don't remember which firmware version I was on when I unlocked, and I don't know if the other carriers subsequently disabled HTC unlocking.
If the HTC Dev unlock procedure still works for your device, then installing a new recovery.img and rooting should work. There is no real harm in going through the first few steps of the unlock procedure, it's just collecting some info from your device using adb and getting a key from HTC. Then you can decide if you want to go ahead and wipe and root your device.

1)can some one give me a link to the most easiest and current way to root? ((Ive looked every where and im not even sure what i am to look for)) Also i am fully updated.
2)after i root,,,can i keep the phone basically the way it is meaning stock and sense?really just want to root as to get rid of all the bloatware and possibly over clock it.
3)Is there away to back up the phone pre-root in case i dont like root and wish to return to stock?
Any help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.
So, here's my $0.02 worth:
1) The easiest is not the best. If you want to root your phone, you need to learn how to use ADB. It's not difficult. You will need it at some point in the future. Here's a link to root your Thunderbolt > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616
Here's a noob's guide to ADB >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
2) Yes you can.
3) I'm not sure, but here is a link that will return your phone to stock > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
Plus one on learning adb its way easier than youd think. i always tried to use the one click methods and whatnot but i finally had to in adb and it was way easier. no worry about something wrong with the auto root. also try mybackup app from the market. i used it to backup everything initially then use titanium bacckup after you root since its way better
Advice on rooting flashing Thunderbolt?
Hi all,
I am so frustrated With my Moto atrix 4g and the fact that it has a locked boot loader with the new 2.3.4 stock rom....I have a real simple question;
If I obtain a Thunderbolt, does Verizon force HTC to keep anything locked or make the Thunderbolt difficult to root, unlock boot loader and ultimately flash non-stock roms from XDA ?
If it is like past HTC phones then it should be a rom flasher's dream, correct? It is able to be unlocked and i can flash roms from this wonderful forum?
Please advise....much appreciated.

Bro, really, take just 2 minutes to look around! There's a root guide right at the top of the dev forum!
To the OP: learning ADB and some basic Linux commands will become more useful than you know. Like quickly and easily checking an md5 without some stupid app or a computer. Plus, jcase is very easy to find and very helpful if there's a problem. I really can't endorse doing it the jcase way enough.
***LOCKED*** On Bootloader
Hello All,
First of all thanks for the awesome easy guide !!
This is the first time I am rooting my HTC Tbolt and have had an issue to start with.
Used the instructions in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401959
After I download the 2.11.605.5 downgrade zip, I rename it, put in on the SD Card and go to HBOOT and it installs the downgrade just fine.
But at the end of this process, when I try to get the MR4 Radio onto the SD Card and install it, it simply does not happen. HBoot checks for the file, finds it, but nothing happens. I have renamed in properly and followed instructions to the dot.
I also noticed a ***LOCKED*** right on top of the screen and I think this could be an issue.
Can I go ahead and proceed with the Revolutionary Root Technique ? Would this be possible at this point ?
Is there anyway I can get Flash the MR4 Radio before I actually root ?
Also, would I be able to flash the MR4 Radio onto my device after Rooting ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !
Well at last, HTC has brought us their method to root HTC Evo 3D & Sensation.. Just register to become a member (dev) and begin rooting your Evo3D. I wanted to show you all what to expect.. and of course there are disclaimers so view screen shots for full details. I have not tried this setup so please give feedback, I do have the phone but it's been rooted by other methods.. just giving fellowship & sharing information. Enjoy!
Go to HTCDev.com to get started.. (This will VOID your warranty, root your phone & give you super human strenghts)
Previous rooting gave phone's the same voided warranty especially servicing in carriers service center, same deal. Revolutionary method also voids warranty so now people have choices.. (Former Sprint Service Mgr)
As informed please give useful feedback if you have used this method so we know where we stand with this and in fact "IF" HTC is helping us out.
Thx to Doomstang for input-

It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader unlocking scope.
Our devices have been designed with our hardware and software specifications in mind and unlocking the bootloader will change the software and may cause unexpected side effects. It is impossible for HTC to ensure the proper functioning of your device after this. In the worst case scenario, it is possible that your device may be physically damaged due to overheating or the behavior of your device might be altered including, but not limited to, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and specific absorption rate (SAR) values.
Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (“firmware over the air”), we do not guarantee that updating your device via FOTA will not render your device unusable. Please understand that you will not be able to return your device to the original state and going forward your device may not be held covered under the warranty for all claims resulting from the unlocking of the bootloader. HTC bears no responsibility if your device is no longer usable afterwards.
HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, due to some of our carrier customers concerns, certain models with specific restrictions may not be able to be unlocked. Please refer to our list of supported devices to see if your device is eligible for unlocking the bootloader.
We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved. This is a technical procedure and the side effects could possibly necessitate repairs to your device not covered under warranty. If you are still interested in unlocking the bootloader, and you understand the consequences both to your device and to your warranty, then you may refer to the following pages where we have provided the unlocking instructions.
If there's an error you will see screen shot below.. with details on what happened.
So maybe I'm confused about what this does ... I went through the process and everything seems to have worked. Bootloader now shows unlocked. I tried to flash a recovery (both clockworkmod and TWRP) and it seems to flash successfully but when I try to run recovery it just reboots the phone after showing the HTC logo for a minute. I was hoping to install the rooted OTA but not sure what to try next...

TWRP doesn't work and CWM Is a hit or miss. You should of tried the stock recovery, I think it had one. Wait till a root for the new boot loader I say.
I think the unlocked just gives partial access to the bootloader if I am correct. Your security flag(s-off) is still on.

On a more serious note, does this method actually allow you to root? Cuz I didn't really see anything on HTC's site, or in your post about rooting. Yet the title states rooting with HTC's unlock method. Just a fyi.

this is a joke!
HTC's unlocked bootloader is a joke, it just says "unlocked" but you cannot flash any new recoveries and you get S-ON. Don't try this folks, stay rooted! My 3D is now officially bricked with HTC method, it's not unlocked at all as you can't do anything with it.

The unlock is terrible, I got it to work on my Dad's phone, but I could only get into clockwork once, TWRP doesn't work, and only a manual flash of clockwork seemed to work, I tried to get in with Rom Manager for him so he could do a backup, and it wouldn't go either, and it didn't want to go back in for me manually either, just boots up.
Oh well, I managed to root it and get a rom installed. So we shall see how everything goes.
It's S-ON still, which is complete crap.

4.0.1.5 failed for me too.
I started with CWM 4.0.1.4.
I clicked update recovery in ROM Manager and it said 4.0.1.5 successfully installed after I granted it SU permissions. Had it reboot into recovery from ROM manager and the phone just restarted...so I manually went to recovery via HBoot and it fails to load and restarts the phone. I guess I'll push that 4.0.1.4 back to it now.
so the bootloader gets unlocked but yet it stays S-on? wtf lol ?
Ok everyone. I like to think I am efficient enough to figure things out and such but I will honestly say I am having a major n00b moment with this one.
In the past, with my older Android phones (Droid 1 and Droid Razr) I was able to root and unroot the phones by following the instructions and ensure if I ever returned my device to Verizon, it gets unrooted and such.
however, now that I have the HTC Rezound from Verizon, I feel pretty stupid when it comes to the instructions I've found.
I gotten as far as unlocking the bootloader which appeared to be fairly simple, but there are just so many instructions out there on how to root the phone I cant make heads over heals on what to do.
Essentially I just want to be able to root and unroot the phone in the event I ever were to return it to Verizon for replacement. Can someone direct me to the proper way in doing this? I'd truly appreciate the help. Thank you all

Once you have unlocked the bootloader or gotten s-off, you just need to flash a recovery (Amon ra is linked in my sig) then flash a rom. All of the ROMS are pre-rooted. To revert to uprooted, all you need to do is run the GB RUU which can be found in the development section (or google)

i rooted my phone with this app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=1314#downloads
it helps a lot and my phone was rooted in less than 10 minutes
To point you in the right direction...
First thing with a HTC is to understand S-ON / S-OFF vs Unlocked / Locked Boot-loader vs Root.
S-ON / S-OFF is Security, and unique to HTC phones.
With the phone S-ON you can still flash a new kernel (boot.img) and flash new ROM's such as Cyanogenmod (and many more!).
With the phone S-OFF you can flash things like the radio, change the CID (Carrier ID) and more, but being unable to S-OFF is not the end of the world.
Bootloader Locked / Unlocked.
With a locked bootloader, you can still gain root, however depends heavily on the exploit and version of android. A locked bootloader is the main restriction on any device.
With an unlocked bootloader, you can now flash custom recoveries (or just boot into them). Flash custom ROM's, and Flash custom Kernels.
HTCdev.com will allow you to unlock your bootloader by following the instructions on there.
Root = Root, i.e. performing commands or having apps perform functions as the systems Superuser (Administrator) account on your device.
You can have your device S-ON, unlock your device, flash a custom ROM, and not be rooted. It's just most custom ROM's ship with root enabled.
Hopefully the above explains (very basically) the differences between a few terms.
And you most certainly do not need to flash a custom recovery in order to install a custom ROM.
Rob
in all honesty
Unless you really really need it to be unlocked I would honestly advise against unlocking and rooting for this device... when i got mine I loved how smooth the original rom was, but being a long time samsung user I was used to flashing anything with minimal impact. But right now this device has 0 development happening and most people who have unlocked and rooted the EU version of this phone have ended up regretting it as there is no way to restore the original eu firmware...
If you do decided to do it please please please make a full backup of the eu rom before hand... and if you do god i think so many members would love you for posting it on here
but in my own opinion I wouldn't go through with the process again...

Hi Guys,
As I mentioned in my brief explanation of the different terms of rooting / unlocking etc.
You can unlock, and root, while still keeping the stock recovery, and stock ROM.
This means you can root the original ROM to use root apps, and have root, but then simply factory reset to go back to full stock (albeit with an unlocked bootloader).
When you unlock your boot-loader the device will do a factory reset, take a backup at this point, by booting into TWRP (but you don't need to flash TWRP permanently onto the phone.
Instead of >fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simply type >fastboot boot recovery.img
Your device will load TWRP, allow you to do a full backup, install superuser / supersu.
Once you exit the recovery, your phone still contains the stock recovery.img, stock boot.img, and stock system.
Hope that helps some others before they flash recovery.img (no need!) and then flash an AT&T ROM on the international version.

There is/was someone in the general board who received and is selling s-off 610s. (No actualperson bought from his sale, so I don't know if he was lying or if it was an error)
ClearD is working on a Rom, so he's probably the only person currently with an idea of how to go about it. Like I said though, he's been working pretty hard on the Rom so he may be reticent to start a new project.

Phew. I appreciate the thought, but that is way beyond my level of experience. However, I do have information of someone working on an s-off for our device. It's probably going to be a while until it's finalized, but it will work on a wide range of devices, similar to Sunshine. It will also be a paid app, like Sunshine. But, I'd pay for s-off myself. It's important. Lol

Can you elaborate a little on that? I know s-off is important but if the bootloader is unlocked and we have a kernel doesn't that mean we can flash unsigned zips already?
Or is it more about using it on other carriers? I have no intention but if I gave this phone to someone, could they take it to say verizon and activate it?
I'm just confused. I guess I don't know the difference between s-off an unlocked bootloader for practical reasons.
Unlocked bootloader lets us flash system, boot, and recovery partitions. That's about it. We can't change the Cid or splash screen or radio image, as those are still security protected. Like the warning screen from the early root method? It's the splash screen. We can remove that once we get s-off. Basically s-off lets you change/flash anything.

Some with D610 as backup phone maybe wish try, no word about S-OFF, reverse option (from root) is not supported.
P.S.
"oneclick root" option is available in free version of app.
We've already got a root tool... A very simple root tool. That I made. It doesn't s-off.

Is not bad thing knowing if exist more than one option how to root 610, true is that no any feedback about MobileGo root method on any htc phone.
I would prefer wish to hear from you an answer like: I could try...
Thx
We already have more than one root method. And they're simple. There in fact doesn't need to be more than one, because the bootloader can be unlocked and one is all there will ever need to be, because of this. It's as easy as flashing recovery and flashing root through recovery. That's it. My tool just automates that process. Why use something untested when we already have one that will always work, without fail?
Also this thread is about sim unlocking, not rooting. S-off is not root and we don't have s-off capabilities yet. Back on track.
