I was wondering if anyone has heard of this? This app was highlighted in gizmodo, on weeks best apps. They said it was in the android market, but when I went to check it out it wasn't found. Any word on this app? Thanks in advance.

It's not the longest article...wondering how you missed the important part as an evo owner.
The bad news is that there are still some devices such as the HTC EVO 4G running the FRG22D firmware that are left out of the party.

Wow, I didn't catch that. I just saw that some phones might not work. Thanks for the heads up.

universal androot for x10i with 2.1
i would like to know something before i start using universal androot to root my phone, i live in SA and have 2.1, vodacom network, on my phone would like to know if androot will work on present version. if not, what else can i use to root my phone. are there any fixes if phone not working after rooting...
please guys, im needing to know so that i can root my phone...
Not to be an ass, but on researching how to root you could only find a four month old thread?
Google unrevoked. Works like a charm. Used it to root a guys phone yesterday.
^^He got to you before i did....and believe me he was nice about it. Unrevoked is just about fool proof. If i can read and figure it out, so can you!!!!
the poor guy he is trying to root an X10i as well. you may want to head over to that forum and check if there is an unrevoked for x10i or some other thread in the development section
It looks like the incs has a temproot that also works on the inc2. Anybody get this working yet? I'm in ubuntu now so can't use the exact scripts provided in the thread. Awesome that it's doable, hopefully that leads to something more...permanent....
Yep...Got the temproot working on my DI2 using the DIS rooting method. I'm interested to know if the XTC Clip hardware would work for the DI2??
Temp root meaning rooted till you reboot rite?

I've been trying to figure that out as well, even going to far as to email the xtc people themselves...
No response yet, I'm feeling like the "beta testing" that I have been reading about is testing the device on the inc2. It STINKS how expensive that is though and I truly don't think we'll be able to get a viable dev community unless there is a free/easy unlock method
I can't even find anybody working on the inc2. Made an *** of myself on the unrevoked IRC last night asking about it or for help. Nada! Lol.
We will just have to be patient I suppose. I'll keep looking for any information I can find....
I've got the temp root method working for me as well. And from what I've heard the XTC clip does work for the Inc 2 but I don't think it's worth the trouble. Mainly because until we get a free, permanent root no devs are going to be interested in making ROMs for us.
I agree. Debating returning it... I love the phone, but without root and the bluetooth issues its not thrilling me.

If root is a must, there is no point in buying unrooted phones. Expect all future HTC phones to be secured.

HTC's build quality and Sense are unrivaled, though. To be honest, the only thing I want root for is to remove all the crap Verizon bundled on it. But that's more OCD than anything. Sense is really slick.

Untill we get perm root, use the temp root method and titanium backup and freeze the bloatware apps. Worked for me and it stays gone after a reboot.
I am using Launcher Pro and currently have the bloatware hidden from the apps drawer.
Would it be better, resource-wise, to temp root and use Titanium to either freeze or uninstall them?
And if I do that, is there some reason to freeze instead of just uninstalling?
And lastly, are there some Sense or HTC or Verizon apps that look like bloatware but are really needed by the phone to function correctly that I should leave alone?
Thanks.
I have an XTC clip I recieved from the guy in china as part of the beta team. O get one test clip and then 5 more.. I'd be willing to part ways with it, but still researve the right to use one of the clips.. I'm not ready to brick my inc2 on a 2 year contract just yet lol. like the guy said if u dont feel comfortable, dont use it. im take half of what the online asking normal price is. im not looking to make money, just get this root going on this phone..

If there is one motivating factor in seeking a permanent root method for my dinc2, it would be for the functionality of the WiFi Tether App. Please, care to share.
That's what I am looking for too, wireless tether! Had it on my Dinc and really miss it now. Put up a donate button if you decide to give it out!
If I can figure out this XTC clip there is a possibility of it giving me S-OFF, i just have no idea how to use it, what a gold card is ect.. if anyone is willing to help walk me through I get 5 more credits, which means 5 people can use this clip an attain S-OFF as well (if it works) jcase said he'd get walk me through everything else once and if I get S-OFF. !

It doesn't work on the I2 yet. The img model ID is incorrect.
So I searched this site for quite a while and have not yet found a solution to this problem, so the only thing left to do was to post this.
I have an HTC one running 4.3 on Verizon.
The first problem occurs when I try to post my unlock token to htcdev. When I do I get the "Mid not allowed: error 160".
So to fix this I learned that I need to change my CID to be something like "111111". The weird part is, in order to change my CID I need to be unlocked and have s-off.
You see my problem? I can't unlock because on my CID, and I can't change my CID because I'm not unlocked....
Does anyone have a solution? I'm sorry if the solution is already posted, I just can't find it!
Thanks!
As a side note, I tried to use rumrunner but I got an error. I'm not sure why I got this error but based on some of the things I read I suspect it was due to being on 4.3? Has anyone been able to root/unlock/s-off on 4.3 Verizon?

You simply have not read enough messages in this sub-Forum and its cousins to realize that your version of what is running is not at the moment capable of being upgraded. Search a bit more.

Currently we can't root or get s off in 4.3. Would be nice if Verizon tokens were not blacklisted from HTC dev but what can you do.
Only way to get root right now is if you have a java card and that costs a lot of money. There is a guy on here who has one and will do it for a price if you don't mind paying for it with shipping back and forth. But that's up to you, right now we have to wait and let the devs who came up with rumrunner upgrade the program for the newest software.
Wish there was a way to debloat the stock 4.3 from Verizon without soff because then my one wouldn't be sitting on the table anymore lol.

Okay i know the answer is somewhere out there already but i looked and could not find.. has anyone tried chainfires auto root for verizon note 4.. there is a link to the verizon model and i have not seen any report on this. Please answer my stupid question lol. I know it has been talked about but simply cannot find anything on this..
IIRC it requires an unlocked bootloader. Thus, no dice.
They're is as yet no root, it'll show up in this forum when it happens. No reason to ask about xyz root method, none work.

Yeah thats what i figured.. i know the boot is on lockdown but i didnt know why they would have a root method if it was still locked down... okay thank you.. i pray to the phone gods for a solution.. i used to have the g2 and that boot was locked down and i think it still is.. they had some loky patch file that walked around the boot.. is this not an option for the note.. i dont know much about this level of information lol. Im just a simple geek that has crack flashed phones into bricks and then saved them from pure persistence!
Wait had anyone actually tried it. LOL 15K bounty but it's been out there for weeks hahahaha.
That's because the is a DEV ed. Of the phone that has an unlocked bootloader that's why it's available if that wasn't the case I am pretty sure chain would have claimed the thousands of dollars just waiting there for him and if he didn't want it he would donate it.
Search before you post, think before you speak.

So my turbo just updated to marshmallow, and I'm curious as to whether that opened the door to root and possibly bootloader unlock. BTW the Moto x force thread needs to be moved from this one. They're 2 different phones. I mean they're the same, but anything on Verizon is always going to be different. We all know this. Chime in guys!

Too soon to tell if it opened up any possible exploits, best thing is to keep an eye on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2/general/root-discussionthink-tank-t3239979
The X-Force question came up before, mods said it's basically the same phone so it's not getting it's own section.
If anything, it patched a bunch of exploits and made it that much harder to root the phone. Unless Motorola does the same thing as they did with the one Moto X on Verizon, I doubt the bootloader will ever be unlocked.

I feel like this could happen one of 4 ways.
1. Good ol diggin round code.
2.Motorola employee helps us.
3.someone me (I've tried) but both Motorola reps and Verizon reps are unhelpful but someone might do better. Maybe get it " escalated"
4. Just hope....
Also I just really think it's possible to get past the people who know nothing about it and find someone willing to help.. Then again maybe just simply wishful thinking.

^^^This. Whoever has had success cracking BLs on Verizon Moto devices in the past might help, or at the very least point you in the right direction. You also might be able to get some of the CM devs that have worked on VZW Moto devices in the past.
I know Verizon has been notorious about locking their phones down for a while now, but can it really be completely locked? There has to be something there that can be cracked right? Nothing is impossible right?
Hey, guys, I haven't checked in for awhile, but would someone be willing to work on it for a bounty? I mean if we could pool together somewhere between $500-$1k wouldn't it be worth it for someone who has a ton of knowledge in this comeover and help?
I'd be willing to donate to that cause even though my sig says otherwise...
Same here I second that, seems the hard part would be setting this up, I mean this is a great phone if devs would come on board
Rooted and installed twrp KINZIE today. Followed a italian tutorial for the Moto X Force. Android 6.0

No he has the moto x force it's confusing they shouldn't be posting in this thread they can root this is about obtaining a root exploit. To be honest I don't care that he rooted his phone it's not such a triumph the damn phone is unlocked.

I want to change the ugly, unintuitive material design soft buttons.
I know that verizon locks down their phones.
I want to root so that I can get back the old Holo soft buttons (ics, jelly bean, kitkat) and maybe holo blue.
I know from experience that root can make a device much more laggy.
This is my main and only phone that I can use, so I don't want to take many chances.

Who told you root makes a phone lag that is 100% false. Anyway there is no root method at this time.
I have a droid razr that I rooted in jelly bean. Since that, it's more laggy and unresponsive. Probably because of the root processes running in the background
There is no such thing as "root process". Root is just about rights to access particular part of the system, run specific commands or applications.
