I dont know it seems really difficult to root this phone. Is there any one click root option ? Is there any easy instructions that does not need me to use command line ?
I am good with following instructions but this phone seems like a hard nuts to crack and i am really not happy with the stock rom on the phone
Any guidance or advice will be really helpful

Hi,
I see the Evo has a simple root process with a program now ( XDA News on main page ), just wondered if anyone is working on a similar program for the Desire as i'm a bit nervous of rooting my phone with the current method, thanks.
There really is nothing to be nervous about! There used to be problems with older methods, but the new method now is virtually foolproof.
Give it a try and if you get stuck or panic then post here for help.
Simple things to remember are follow the steps in whatever guide you use, and let the process finish, be patient as sometimes things look like they are stuck, but they are not!
There is virtually no risk in rooting the Desire now.

Hi.
A very good Tutorial with Videos is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Take a look and remember to read it all before starting.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask them here. I'll try to answer as much as I can, but other members can help too.
I used the thread mentioned above when I came to root my HTC, everything worked perfectly.
Step-by-step instructions.. can't really go wrong
hi i am newbe and i want to know what are the resins to root and if i don't root is there a way to get 4.04 on a non rooted VZ GN
I think if you search google: "to root or not to root" there are some good explanations.
Don't take any offense, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=to+root+or+not+to+root
When you root, you modify the files of the phone to give you special permissions that were once locked. You can install ROMs that look different, or increase battery or run faster or have features you like. The possibilities are endless. You also are first to get leaked updates.
Yes you can flash 4.0.4 on a stock unrooted Galaxy Nexus but the bootloader must be unlocked. This easy and can be done with either Mskip's toolkit or Wugfresh's take your pick they are both easy and good.
Good Luck & Have Fun

I suggest not rooting or unlocking your bootloader until you have hung around long enough to learn why you would need to. Use your phone a while and get familiar with it first.
Rooting: mod the phone to give an app superuser privileges if it requests it. Certain functionality can only be utilized by apps running as root. Whether or not you need that is something you should discover on your own. Treat it very carefully as giving a malicious app root is deadly.
Unlock boot loader: open up the ability to install custom roms.
You should probably hang around a bit and learn before doing either.
I personally have yet to see a need to do either on ICS, but that's only my opinion.
Have fun.

I bought a used nexus its in great condition everything works but the buyer didnt tell me it was rooted already. Thats fine cause i was going to but i wanted to learn the ropes myself. So is there anyone to get back to 100% stock? He flashed a CWM too. I just want to do it myself. And is there anyway to wipe format the internal memory aswell? Thanks!
you can use this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
even if you don't want to convert and already have yakju or takju, this is the way you can go back to pure stock

Yup this guide is the way to go. Flash the "takju" images. There's full 4.1.1 images now too.
Thanks guys i have a usa gsm model and I guess i looked around and found out a way to wipe the internal data with those tools so i think im good and im kinda getting the hang of using the tool kit. But the phone has 4.1 i wanted to install rooted 4.1.1 is that possible? or how would i go about doing that? Thanks alot for your quick and helpful responses!

Don't use a toolkit. Follow that guide posted. That guide will wipe the device completely and put you on 100% stock 4.1.1. If you want root, you can follow the last part of the guide, which has a step-by-step routine to root also.

Why shouldnt i use the tools? they seem pretty straight foward is there something bad about them? But Im finally going to get a chance to follow that guide hopefully and go to 4.1.1 and then root it cause i just want root right now for back up purposes. But thans for the info!

The tools aren't inherently bad, but they're kind of a "black box" to new users, where they put their phone in and it comes out rooted/flashed. The issue occurs when something goes wrong, and the user doesn't know why because they don't understand the procedure, and they can't reverse engineer what happened to fix it. So what they end up doing is coming and posting threads, etc.
If they were doing it the "real" (manual) way, via Fastboot, they'd know what was going on and have a better understanding of what they're doing to their phone. Because we have a Nexus, there's really no reason not to just use Fastboot because it's the tool that Google gives us. You own a ~$650 (much cheaper now w/ the Play Store, but still) device, why not spend 15 minutes learning how to work with it properly?

I can understand that and i usually do want to learn the ropes but i was kind of thrust into the middle cause i bought a used nexus and it was rooted and had CWM 6 flashed to it so I am just trying to figure things out a bit or at least go back to Full stock and no recovory flashed so i can learn the ropes myself and flash recoverys myself if needed and i want to get 4.1.1 and root it myself. If possible can i use the tools to just go to stock and then learn the manual ways from there? I got adb and the fastboot.exe finally so i never had that or new i needed it and when i first used the toolkit to wipe my sd I think it installed some drivers that the tool kit told me to which im hoping are correct. I really hate to ask questions unless its needed and i apprecieate it.

The guide that was linked earlier is extremely simple to follow. It breaks everything down step by step, and you will be fully stock.
Hi. Apologies in advance, since I am sure that this has been asked before. Anyway, I would like to root my GSM Galaxy Nexus, but I am a newbie to the whole rooting thing. I found a guide at the following site (I can't post links)...
galaxynexusroot DOT com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus-universal-guidegsmverizonsprintwindowslinuxmac/ ...
that seems to be simple enough (I really don't know where to begin). Is that guide a good reference point? I'm just worried about bricking my Nexus, and looking for the easiest method possible.
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way to root and install TWRP, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208863&highlight=wugfresh
Use the toolkit. Its hands down the easiest way and the method I had followed the first time myself. I am a Maguro owner myself! :good::good:

what are you talking about? it is awesome because you can always cry for help when you have no idea what happened to your phone.
If yu are a complete newbie, I suggest a Toolkit. I was and am a Linux user, so using command line is not a problem. But 1st time success helps you gather the courage to further dig into stuff!
So don't get me wrong when I suggested the toolkit.
easy guys, not wrong to begin with toolkit stuff. time will let him learn...
i've been willing to root my phone for several seasons and i'm looking for some guidance because i don't want to totally **** up my phone, i only want to root it nothing else, i don't want to apply kernels or stuff. My phone's info : It's running on 4.3 and never been modified with anything, purely stock, the phone wasn't rooted before updating either.
I'll be very happy if i get some guidance and everything goes through, i'm freaking out because i can't seem to find what i need, i'll be thankful <3
