hey guys i was wondering if there has been any push for an Androot like application for rooting desires on 2.2
my phone doesn't like to play with my PC so I'm not game to root over USB but i would like to enable root apps on my current ROM if i can and this seems the easiest way to do it, but I'm not 100% on finding exploits or making use of them to make the app myself but would love to see this type of app return, or even something that guides you through it so you can root without having to connect to your PC.
any info would be appreciated.
I wondered always too if I can root my device from device itself, without using a computer for that

Hey guys,
Firstly, sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology because I'm still quite unfamiliar with it.
Anyway, I just got my Desire Z about a week ago and am planning to root it so that I can access paid apps via Market Enabler.
I've read through all the guides on how to root and seems simple enough. However, I have a few questions regarding the default HTC applications.
1: Will I be able to continue using and updating the HTC apps (like HTC Locations, HTC Camera or HTC Car Dock) that came along with it after rooting?
2: Is is possible to keep the default SenseUI after rooting instead of getting a custom ROM that looks like SenseUI?
3: Will my phone stop working with htcsense.com after rooting?
4: Will I require a custom ROM installed into it after rooting, or can I just reuse the same default HTC ROM?
Basically, I love my phone and don't want to change anything except getting to access paid apps from Android Market. To do so, I would need to have Market Enabler working, which needs me to have Superuser permissions. Hence, why I need to root it.
Thanks!

Rooting is just rooting; nothing will change other than your ability to do whatever you want to/with your device. Just rooting won't change anything other than your ability to install apps which require root access.

Oh, so I suppose I was looking at the wrong rooting options then. The ones I've been looking at seems to flash the phone as well (unrevoked).
Guess I'll need to find a tutorial to just root the phone. Thanks!

I know it is possible to root using something like connectbot; I searched around here. I could only find some posts in HTC EVO Shift 4G where they had steps. Which would be the same, just the files you need are different (obviously)
Good luck, be-careful with this method too. Without a computer to use to odin with (if something goes horribly wrong). You're really risking things.
You can use the app z4root to root without a PC. However, it does not work on froyo 2.2
I know I saw a Z4 root app that worked with the evo can anyone point me in the correct direction?
Last time I rooted the Evo was back around launch when I nand unlocked my Evo. I am trying to do a simple root to load a rom for a buddy on his phone and cant seem to find anythig as simple as loading an apk and clicking a button like with z4. I used z4 on the droid x and on htc Hero with success and I thought I saw one that was for the Evo as well but I cant seem to find it.
Thanks, Thomas
All I want is to unlock the phone simply, so that I can load a rom. I can do everything else fine I just cant unlock this phone. I can use the original method because its been updated past that point and I dont want to add things to my computer to root.

There is no app that will give you permanent root on the Evo. If you run an app like Z4 or Visionary, it will give you temporary root access. You will lose root upon rebooting the phone. Therefore, you would not at all be able to flash any custom roms or anything, as you'd lose root as soon as you powered the phone down.
if you want to put a ROM on for him, you need a permanent root. There's no real way you can do that without 'adding things to your computer." There are a couple programs that will root you, that you run from your computer. one is Unrevoked (www.unrevoked.com) the other is called AutoRoot (by xHausx), which you can find in the development section. The other way is a manual method, using adb, and pushing files. It's also in the development section. The author of that thread is Zikronix. Any of those three methods will give you permanent root.
I am asking for help rooting the new tablet i got. I rooted my droid incredible and love it even more since. I want the same for the tablet. I have looked around for some answers but cant seem to find the anything to help me.
If you could also give me a good ROM to start off with I would greatly appreciate it.
I cant post the link however if you search the following you can find the one i bought to be clear
"M009 Google Android 2.2 7" Tablet PC Computer Netbook"
Key Features
Type Tablet PC
Display Size 7in (17.78 cm)
Hard Drive Capacity 2 GB
Operating System Android 2.2
Internet Connectivity Wi-Fi
I put a 8 gb micro sd card in.
I have the offical market app installed, however no super user access. Any advice would be appreciated.
Have you tried the usual rooting methods? Such as rageagainstthecage, Gingerbreak, Superoneclick, etc?
However, rooting won't do much on the way of custom ROM's, there would have to be an active dev community supporting that device. However, you will be able to get super user access, to freeze apps, etc.
OK guys, Firstly apologies if I'm duplicating any threads, I haven't been on for some time so a little out of touch and also logged in on a mobile device... I'm looking to either unroot my phone, hide root or work around for apps. I've searched high and low and can't find a working method thus far.. I've always rooted my devices but it seems there are more and more apps unable to work on rooted devices. I've tried apps like hide my root etc and tried disabling SU in the app menu with no avail, I need more so Barclays banking but also sky go app working. I work as a response driver and can have periods at work with no events so rely on sky go to keep my brain at least semi functional. I completely forgot these wouldn't work on my phone after I rooted it yesterday. Can anyone offer a solution to get these apps to work either via somehow cloaking root, installing older APK or anything I'm open to all suggestions whether it's something direct with handset or via ADB... Or alternatively advise the easiest way to remove root. Bootloader unlocked via HTC Dev, PhilZ touch ClockworkMod Recovery, S-off via firewater. May also be worth mentioning I'm in UK
Your help is greatly appreciated

There is currently no way to get Sky Go working on a rooted phone. It's the one of the reasons why I don't root any more

I had this problem but with barclays, didnt realise sky go wouldnt work. You have to flash a unrooted recovery through TWRP.
EDIT: Try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Look for your software number in the about section at the bottom of settings, mine was something like 1.54.401.5. Im on o2 so i used the o2 one, so download depending on your carrier. Also the number doesn't have to be 100% the same, as long as the first 3 numbers match you're laughing. make sure you download an unrooted one though (pretty sure they all are) put it onto your sd card wipe the phone then install the unrooted rom. Make sure it goes in sdcard/twrp/backups/(modelnumber)
if youve made any other backups with twrp they'll be in there so you know you're in the right place.
Hope this helps. I soft bricked mine so this is how i got out of it.
I've never used the apps you mention but I've had success getting no-root apps running with exposed and root cloak.
