Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root
This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...
Remember, This is still a Temp Root & any Changes made will be Rest back to stock on a Reboot
It's stable & works 100%
I Personally have not lost Root with this new Method
Q. I thought RW was Fixed?
A. Caused by Deleting an apk / file that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!
Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.
Before Using!!HTC Sync Must be Turned OFF
Put the Phone into Charge Mode only ( Not Disk Drive )
USB Debugging Must be Turned on
What's Fixed:
Revamped due to new Method:
~ Superuser Apps now Function
~ If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place
~ Fixed R/O Bug!!
~ R/W is now Forced
~ /system is fully editable now! until reboot that is.
~ Busybox is installed to /vendor/bin
~ hex Edited libext4
~ hex edited libfuse.so
~~ This is the Last Update due to it working & Stable ~~

Q. Is this permanent?
A. no, it's a temp root method..
Q. Will I lose SU Access at some point while running the OS?
A. You might, but open terminal & type fixit to get root back!.
Q. What about apps that need a reboot to use superuser?
A. Use Fast Reboot form the market for app that need a reboot..
Q. Can I push & remove items to system & will it work?
A. Yes, but all changes are reset on a reboot.
Once Downloaded, Unzip & double click on the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File & Enjoy long lasting Root!
OLD NEWS:
Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!
So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..
Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..
Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..
Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!
Thanks. Hope you got this tablet Mr!

Thanks Eugene for the script!
A few notes though:
1) You are using the older version of re3vo it seems which does not work on he flyer.
2) I replaced the fre3vo version with the current and ran this. it ended successfully however superuser was FCing on me so i had to run the script again and now it works.
I'll check to see how long the root lasts with this
Thanks again!
Could this also be done for the View? I assume you would need the build.prop, init.rc and other view specific files? if so let me know I can get you whatever you need. Actually on second thought I will just attach the files I believe you will need, let me know if you need anything else...

I used the last temp root u had and it worked perfectly but it seemed to have broke my hdmi capability with my mhl adapter so it stopped working. I had to factory reset my flyer to get it to work again and it did. So I'm reluctant root again for the time being. If anyone has rooted there flyer with this method and has a mhl adapter can u see if it still works. Thanks.

Has anybody tested this with a View?
WOW, thanks to all involved, I had just recently aquired my Flyer and thought I would have to sit for the next two months for a root to become available, less than a week later (for me) and we have ROOT albeit temporary, fantastic work !!!!
Will def try this soon after i reach home. Perm-temp- root at the moment is better than nothing ;-i
Nop, doesn't work on mine too. Same errors as nvidia32.
I think it's the same for everyone, am I wrong?
Code:
vendor/bin, No such file or directory

Same here. However, my Flyer still got ROOT after running the Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat (with latest fre3vo).
When I enter the terminal, I type su and get the superuser right. But when I type fixit, it returns "not found".
Excellent! Very close to perma-root and we'll be set. Great work!
Hi, I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I'm typing "su" in terminal emulator, there is "permission denied"...
Fixing Post now with Correct Fre3vo root file.. This could be everyone issue that was posted in #2
***EDIT***
HTC Flyer Perma-Temp Root is now Fixed with the Correct Fre3vo. in OP ( 7/18/2011 @ 11:05AM )
Also can somebody do in adb shell
#
echo $PATH ( enter )
And Post the Results of this, Also no I don't have this Device but was requested to add support from a DM by clubtech
Thanks,

Hello,
I've not posted on here for a bit.
Basically I'm wanting to put my HTC Flyer WiFi back to Gingerbread as Honeycomb is no where near as stable.
Not used the Flyer for a while because of this.
I have thought about this for a while and looked at rooting the Flyer but everytime I look into it and find instructions I have more questions and seem to hit a brick wall at various stages.
As I am a complete noob and never rooted a device, can anyone help in a basic way.
Is the HTC dev root a good place to start?
Thanks, any help appreciated.

Wrong section. Development if for developers to post their work (ROMs, mods, etc.). Development is not for posting of questions, or seeking basic help.

Because I just root it recently, I can help you:-
Required downloads
1.First download the Gingerbread RUU.
2.If you don't have adb and fastboot on your PC
◦Get fastboot and adb tool for windows
3.Download universal misc_version and unzip to obtain the misc_version file.
4.Download tacoroot
5.Place both the misc_version and tacoroot.bin files in the same directory as adb
Procedure
1.Check the version number for your gingerbread RUU
RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.27.707.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204905_signed
3.The version is 2.27.707.1
4.Boot your flyer up to android if it's not already on, with usb debugging enabled and connect it to the PC.
5.Run the following adb commands (in DOS prompt after install adb tools)
6.Code:
adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/
adb push misc_version /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup
7.At this point your device will reboot to recovery
8.Simultaneously press Volume Down and Power
9.Reboot your device
10.Run the following command
11.Code:
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root
12.Your device will reboot, do not worry if it does not boot fully, it doesn't matter for this procedure, and it is a side effect of this root exploit.
13.Run the following command:
14.Code:
adb shell /data/local/misc_version -s 2.27.707.1
15.Note that the number in RED is the version number retrieved in step 1.
16.Reboot to fastboot:
17.Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Relock the bootloader:
18.Code:
fastboot oem lock
19.Go back to fastboot mode ( lock causes the device to reboot )
20.Run your RUU ( if on linux or mac, see other similar threads from me on how to RUU on those OSes )
This is what happened in the command prompt:-

TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1
By Justin Case (jcase)
Presented by TeamAndIRC, RootzWiki and AndroidPolice
With great assistance from Reid Holland (Erishasnobattery)
----------
TacoRoot: HTC Edition v1 is based on a vulnerability independently discovered by
both Justin Case and Dan Rosenberg (Rosenberg fist). I believe unrevoked and
AlpahRev were also aware of it.
----------
Usage:
--recovery : For this exploit to work, you must have booted recovery at least on
ce after your last factory reset.
--setup : Setup the phone for root, must be done before --root.
--root : Root the phone.
--undo : Remove TacoRoot.
----------
Rebooting into recovery, please press Volume+, Volume- and Power at the same tim
e, and reboot the system.

FWIW, I wouldn't be messing around with a new S-OFF method that hasn't been tested or verified to work for our device by someone who knows what they are doing. It isn't really a surprise that it doesn't work. Try one of the known working methods if you want to get it done.
The Facepalm method worked great for me.

I'm ready to try a ROM, before the OTA finds it's way on my phone. I'm looking for the best way to unlock this device. I thought I'd give this new tool a try, however, it doesn't appear to work on the HTC Incredible 4G LTE (fireball). The temp-root method seems to work, but not the S-OFF.

It looks like temproot may have failed. Although it is contusing, because it state success. One of the requirements was a working internet connection. The error "can't post external links" kind of implies it couldn't talk to a site. Any chance that was your problem. I would like to know if this works too. My wife's phone has the latest OTA and can't be rooted by any of the past methods.

I replaced a valid link with "can't post external links" when I posted this info, because XDA wouldn't let me post a link.

I gave it a try on my wife's phone. The temp root part works great. nothing happens for me on the firewater part. I guess we have to wait until someone figures it out, if that ever happens.

was originally trying to get OTA of 4.4.
I'm S-On and have been unable to S-Off.
ElementalX kernel blocks the OTA (no fault of it).
Used the wrong Guru Reset M7 1.27.531.11.
I have unlocked the Hboot (v1.55)
rooted.
I have TWRP 2.7 installed.
And flashed SuperSU 1.94 with TWRP.
But the touchsceen doesn't work and I have no OTG cable or quick access to one.
Hboot still shows OS 3.24.531.3.
OSX 10.8.5. I have a Parallels XP system on another Mac. But have not been able to get it to play nice either.

What am I doing wrong?
Is there a working method for temp root
to satisfy firewater's need?
