New T-Mobile G2 Touch - Rooting / Rom Question

All,
Sorry about if this is a duplicate post, but can anyone confirm if the procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38 is still good for rooting a G2 Touch phone?
I have been using mine for a while and am eager to be on a later version of Andriod. Do the new builds have the HTC Applications (such as bookmarks where you can take photos) or are they free of these applications?
If they don't have them, is there anyway I can add them?
Many thanks.

Do you want to root your phone or put a new rom on? Rooting the phone will only allow you to run apps which require root access, most custom rom's have root built in and can allow you to use v2.1 of android os. If you want to put on a custom rom then follow my guide in my sig if you just want root I think that guide is good.
Read the custom ROM topics to see what apps or tweaks have been made.

If your Hero is a newish uk T-Mobile one, the first method in that sig may not work. I had to use the goldcard method, what HSPL You using?

Use this guide: "[Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]"
I have same phone as yours (HTC G2 T-Mobile) and did everything nice in few hours of carefulness and now my phone is happy with latest Villain 4.0 Beta2.
P.S. everything worked 100% with golden card method which is explained there in noob level.
Good luck!

The link in BTDAG's sig is the same one EDISMX is referring to,... and yes, the Goldcard method that BONESY mentioned is also explained there, by far (in my opinion) the best tut for beginners on here.

Not sure what you mean about having in app purchases?
Try this video, took me 10 seconds to find using the search function. It contains all the info you need on rooting your phone.
You should really use the search function though as there are MANY threads on rooting the One X.

Better to have too much info than not enough though.
Just take your time and research before you attempt it. You'll find it easy after the first time. Have fun!

I had followed this thread when I first rooted my HOX.

It's pretty simple once you have read it twice!

Its very easy:
1-first you should unlock your device using htc dev.
2-installing a custom recovery. (cwm is a good choice)
3-installing superuser zip from recovery.

[Q] One click root

Hi everyone,
As anyone tried One click root?
Is it may be dangerous and may be sending data like Kingo root?
Thanks ^^

There is already a thread about that in gpad's forums, i dont think there is need to open another one. Search around at xda and you ll find some info about kingo in other devices' forums.

[Q] Towelroot

Hello big guys.
I'm a noob when it comes to roots and roms on phones.
I have been using the offical touchwiz still and is a little interested in rooting the phone and installing cyanogenmod to make it work faster.
I've read that there is a one click method to root called towelroot right now, I want to try it because I don't really understand how to root with other ways on the forum.
And I'm wondering if anyone has tried it before so I can use it and move on to the next step of flashing a custom rom.
Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately Towelroot doesn't support this device yet. I tried earlier today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623635 this is the link to the everything thread for the captivate glide. They have root instructions there, and they're pretty straightforward
Good luck!

[Q] Sorry, noob question! Can I root 5.0?

Morning Folk! I've just got the G3 SIM Free in the UK and allowed it to do all the updates it wanted (lots). It's now sitting at android 5.0. I'd like to remove mcafe from it but I've read I need root to do that - but from what I can see the tools on the forum don't seem to support 5.0, is this correct?
Cheers!

Short anwser: you can't.
Long anwser: you can put a pre-rooted rom of Lollipop. Look in the Dev section.

Cheers I'll just put up with it for now

Flash a KK rom, root it and flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Thats it Takes about 20-30 minutes.
