Root status

I know Paul at Modaco have made some progress in rooting the desire.
But is there any other dev or team that are working on cracking the desire?
Without root this section of xda feel a bit empty...

good question me thinks.

Please look up what rooting means before asking this as this seems like another 'root' post. There are already many of these types of posts around why post new?
I am waiting for rooting so i can install different non eu keyboards

I know it's selfish, but living under the Heathrow flightpath, I'm kind of enjoying it. I can hear the birds!

Same here - it's idyllic bliss in 'ampstead without a bloody plane every 2 minutes. This is what it must have been like in the 1930s! Selfish or not, long may it continue (though the prospect of nose to tail flights through the night as they deal with the backlog isn't so attractive).

XTC Clip on the way

Bought one on ebay from sonicpromo. I will give it to the person who tells me exactly how to use these things, and I will even pay shipping. All you have to do is put credits on it.
Is it a simple plug and play, or is there more involved?

count me in... this is just to gt name first... will post again

just plug it in, and it has all the steps you need.. super simple... just takes s off...
then use alpharev to root.
look at the xtc clip group by.. there are instructions and steps in there

Honestly I dont even think this is gonna be needed in the next week or so. Either they are going to find out how to root it or someone will go the easy route and figure a way to go back to froyo without S-Off. So you can use Alpharev then.

Mine took about 7 days, can't remember exactly but that does include a weekend as well. Alpharev released their s-off two days after I ordered it so I didn't need it and didn't keep track...lol

see now this could be the start of a great movement for our forum here. someone buys the xtc clip, uses it, sends to to the next person, they use it, they send it to the next person in line....see what im getting at here? all you have to do is pay for shipping and the credit.
Of course all it would take is one Dbag to mess the whole thing up.
But it would definently be one hell of a community movement. The whole inc2 community helping each other out to have everyone on root.
who knows.....its a damn fine idea though.

Like I said before, try and convince the alpharevx team to try again. They tried once before but couldn't unlock it due to the hardware.

Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..
I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..
My 2 cents.
On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS

I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread
There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you

Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?
At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.
Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?

I think people are already doing this via eBay - check the 'XTC Clip Group-Buy' thread. Europe only though, not sure.

Check here, it's not so expensive.

Hi,
Anyone in the West Midlands area (UK) with a clip? Willing to pay and travel - phone is doing my nuts in - can't install anything cos of low memory and I have 15M left.
Gonna bin the thing if I can't put some lighter firmware on it!

Try an unlocking shop, one of them is bound to have an xtc clip.

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.

Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Here you go...
Superuser is installed.

Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.

In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.

yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

What is the store's name ? street ?

or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

[Q] Rooting Verizon HTC One M9??

First of all, I just recently switched from IOS to Android so I don't know a lot of the correct terminology or parts of rooting yet. But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card

OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.

Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!

Not every but alot of them unfortunately.

I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.

Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

Can you send me info on this? I have been holding off on the M9 since there's no root. If I can get S-Off for just the shipping costs (cheaper than Sunshine when it becomes available), I'd pick up an M9 ASAP.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
