I want to know before hand so I dont do anything dumb to it, will simpleroot work.
Simpleroot
Yes, Simple Root is the easiest.
I don't want to be rude but you should search and read before posting this. I've got a grand total of 2 posts here and I've figured out how to do everything by just reading these forums.
I used the instructions at the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721055 If you are going to use this one, make sure that the files you download are before Section 5 (The section for rooting with the newest OTA)
I was unaware that simpleroot worked for the newest OTA, but as I see now, I could have saved myself quite a bit of hassle. If simpleroot for whatever reason doesn't work for you, use the link in my comment and read over Section 5, say... 3-4 times before you go at it with your phone!
Best of luck!

While the OP might be contributing to cluttering the forum, your post is cluttering the thread and has no use. If your'e going to scold someone over the search button at least give him an answer first then tell him to use the search button.
Sorry yeah I should of searched, yeah three years is a long time but my post count is what 200, thats roughly five post a month, and most are clumped together with back and forth conversations in certain threads, so Im not that saavy, and/or experienced with the forum despite my three years. But like what was said earlier in the thread, you can cut some threads in half if you remove all those posts telling the OP to search first.
There is a new-ish SimpleRoot OTA that does work... I did it. Check the version on your phone first to be sure which SimpleRoot to use. If you don't have that notorious OTA, the OTA version won't work.
However, the method misterneums links to provides backing up of your personal data/settings. If you have any such things, you might just want to use that method first, or at least use a backup tool before using SimpleRoot, as it will erase all such data.
what do you think i should use?
i dont know which is better,what do you prefer?
how do i switch from clockwork mod recovery to Amon Ra anyways?
The choice essentially boils down to personal preference. Amon-ra arguably has a nicer looking interface (I prefer it at any rate), while Clockwork integrates with Rom Manager. I currently have Amon-ra installed. You can flash Amon-ra from Rom Manager; the menu entry near the bottom should say "flash alternate recovery".
Another feature of Clockwork is that it allows the user to navigate through subdirectories to select the zip file to flash. Not a killer feature for me, but I'm not everyone.
Well that's not what to has at the bottom. It says ra something but the doesn't say amon ra recovery. Is amon ra recovery the alternative recovery? Hm, I have no idea how to do this. Help?

Stick with Amon, I don't think clockwork backs up the Wimax flash partition which is pretty big since people seem to be messing up their wimax radios/settings.
I don't even know how to get an amon ra recovery on my phone.
Sent from my HTC EVO
Ive been using amon_ra since I rooted and it's done me good so far. You can find a link to amon_ra's thread in my sig.
Install rom manager from the market. Then just press the flash alternate recovery. It should install
Amon's recovery. If that option is greyed out, install clockwork first, then the option to install the alternate recovery should be able to be selected.

You surely realize that you are asking a simple question in the Development forum, right?
You do realize there is a forum for questions, right? It's called ....... Evo 4G Q&A.
You do realize you are taking up someone's valuable time and making them MOVE YOUR post to the correct forum, when as a adult (?) you should have been able to do that in the first place, when you created the post.
Please... have some respect for these forums, create your posts in the appropriate forum, it's really not that hard to do.
Oh, wait I take all this back.....Your nym sounded familiar so went back and saw some of your posts to see why it rang a bell.
You're the guy with questions such as
Cm6, what is it?
Does unrevoked forever come with Nandroid?
Does anyone know how to do a nand backup?
Dude, you really should just stop creating any new posts and READ. Every question you've asked, are questions that should have been answered by doing the most basic of reading, BEFORE you even root your phone.

Most Custom Rom recommend Amon Ra, the main reason is because Clockwork Mod is known for not wiping the Davlik Cache properly.... My Personal choice is Amon Ra but I do use Clockwork from time to time...
BTW: Think this is a post for Q & A and not the Development area...
ARMON backs up wimax.ing which contain a copy of the RSA Private Keys, you lose these, no 4G, Clockwork does not.

I don't post alot, but I just don't understand why people can't leave "stupid questions" alone or just not respond to a "valid question" if its in the wrong forum. You may want to be a forum moderator, but you're not. And guess what? 9 times out of 10 (that's a guess) the real moderators will take care of it.
Well, though I think a few people were a bit rude telling you the way they did, they are right in the fact that this belongs in Q&A and not in development. No question is stupid unless is it absurdly obvious, since some prefer one to the other it is a valid question. It just happens to be posted in the wrong area. There are better ways to handle this, obviously what you got was not it.
In any case, I feel Amon RA is the superior of the two. It just works and has everything you need in a recovery. Plus, it has more options to fix problems built in than Clockwork does. Clockwork also has the "not sure if the Dalvik is wiped" issue which Amon RA does not. I used to use Clockwork until I had issues installing some ROMS, I switched to Amon RA and have never looked back. I do like the layout better in Amon RA as well and find it more readable.
Clockwork has two advantages: Able to read ROMS stored in any folder and it is integrated with ROM manager. One of not really a con (better and safer to do that through recovery than a program) and the other is meh, would rather have it on the root of the SD anyhow, ready to go, but that is just me. I think the advantages of Amon put it well ahead of Clockwork.
You can read my post (listed below) "Common misconceptions and other useful information". I am sure it can answer a lot of question you and lots of other people may have. I know a lot of people have told me they have found it useful.
Hope this helps, but please...next time post this in Q&A and save a (real) mod from having to move yet another post. Thanks!
I've said it before, don't know why they can keep people with low post counts from posting links but let any clown with a keyboard start a worthless thread. In the wrong area no less....

First off get off your high horse. There is no reason whatsoever for you to respond like this to anyone. And that goes for everyone else. Why not simply bypass the post and go look for whatever it is you were looking for. So what he put this in the wrong topic. Who was the idiot that open the thread up and wasted about 2-3 mintues coming up with why this should be somewhere else. Here's one for the QA were your parents related cause you seem pretty retarded?

Another thing just answer the damn question next tine. If you aren't why bother posting a reply.
Alright off my soap box I believe amon ra is the better choice. Because of the full wiping and overall better interface. Though rom manager works with clockwork. At least you can flash the other rcovery through that.

While this is an overall good community, you will get a lot of people who feel they need to police these forums (makes them feel good about themselves) and you always have want to be mods when it comes to forums.
The point is that there is ways to handle things and there is ways not to. I think it is obvious how NOT to handle things, that is why you should let the mods do their job and leave the rest up to us! If the mods handled things like this, there would be hardly anyone around!
It is funny, these same angry people can take the time to rant at the person yet cannot answer the question.
Hi , i'm just bought a new HTC Desire HD to exchange for my old Iphone.
At first the performance and speed was good. but after I downloaded and used ADW instead of the stock theme,i also put for the Apps drawer at 4D so it look really good. Unfortunately, when i went through all my apps, it's really slow and lag (u can imaging as when u play an online game with slow INTERNET).
So I wanted to root it however i was going through all the threads in the HtC Desire hd forum and couldn't find any guide about rooting the 2.37.861.8.
Please let's me know if it can be rooted or not? and if it possible can u give me the link with detail how to root it and install Rom.

And my software is 2.37.861.8

I wasn’t giving ****. I was simply stating that proper use of the search function (with multiple stickies in each sub forum, and agreements when you sign up stating to use it prior to posting) should be followed.
When I was green and first got my android device, I searched and searched and read anything and everything relevant before making any post. Too many people on these and other forums are lazy and don’t put in the time to really learn about their devices before beginning to mess with them. At least half of the people in here shouldn’t even be rooting their phones as they're technically inept from being able to recover from a blunder.
I've read so many posts which shouldn’t even exist if diligent information gathering and processing was actually executed, polluting the forums so much that finding a piece of useful information by simply browsing through all the bullarky, is next to impossible. I personally instead now strictly use the search function when looking for information that I may require.
Also, on page 3 or 4 of that thread, even though the op says "to 2.37.762.2 ONLY" there's been reports confirming it works with his version as well.
I've been experimenting on finding a way to downgrade 2.43.
Once receiving my phone back from repair after a true Brick (where only viable recovery is through jtaging) I found my device was updated to 2.43.661.1 which is part of the unrootable category at this time. So even after not being able to work on my rom for 3 weeks, due to the device being in repair, I still can’t work on my rom because I can’t push apk's and files into system area's to which root access is necessary.

First url points to a method that does NOT work.
psneuter does not work, therefore the goldcard downgrade will not work.
Second url is what I posted as the first response.
@ Babycover
Before attempting to root, take the next few days to learn about things like the goldcard, RUU's, the Android SDK's, and basic linux commands (since android is simply a version of linux). Look at various tutorials on how to do things (but dont actually do them, just take note on similarities, and reocurring commands so if you were to do them you'd be comfortable executing them). Familiarize yourself with everything before experimenting.... makes recovering from a problem a lot easier than reading replies of people who think they know what they're talking about.
Things to note: Any RUU can be used once your device has radio S-off and use them rather than a PD98IMG.zip from your sd card. Your spash screen can only be changed if your device has ENG[ineering] S-off ('ENG' will take the place of 'SHIP' in the bootloader). Do not partition your sd card using CWM recovery; even though it supposedly has been fixed, it still may brick your phone (I personally dont believe you should have to partition an SD card ever!).
If the 2.37 method of the rooting doesnt take, you're in my boat with an unrootable device. You might as well see if you can update to the latest 2.5X build if your phone isnt carrier specific (using an ruu, and the device's data that cannot be synced with a google account or sense will be gone, but atleast you'll have the latest build)
If you do manage to Downgrade, dont use the post-downgrade rooting method, rather, follow my steps to root, radio s-off and eng s-off
Its a collection of what works, simplified for use without extras.

Hi guys, sorry for not reading through all the threads in here, just a quick question, my friend has a GN, GSM version, yakju'whatever' build, he wants to update to the latest 4.0.4 firmware, and he couldnt get the OTA update, can he updates his GN via the guide posted here?
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-galaxy-nexus-to-android-4-0-4-using-odindownload-mode/
thanks for the guiding!
I wouldn't recommend using ODIN to do it. I really prefer to recommend downloading the images and flashing them with Fastboot instead.
What martonikaj said. The fastboot option is imo better. Have a look at the general forum, there's a thread about upgrading from other versions to yakju with an excellent guide by efrant.
Just in case - don't follow the guide in the OP but look at the links in efrant's signature, he posts quite a lot in that thread.
but my friend is not a tech geek, and not familiar with fastboot command either. Thats why i'm seeking a more friendly guide to help him update. I think via odin will be easier?
Oh, and i need to confirm that does this method will work on his phone? i dont want getting him stuck at a bootloop or brickking his device, that will make me feel bad and guilty... thanks for the reply though!
"Teach a man to fish...." you know the rest.
Download ADB and Fastboot (you don't need the whole SDK), and learn how to do these simple things yourself. If the only way you're mentally capable of handling flashing your phone is with ODIN, then you should not be flashing your phone. Toolkits and 1-click methods populate XDA with bricked phones and "omg halp" threads.
You don't get to have it both ways. Either you wait for the OTA and be patient, or you take the time to learn how to modify your phone to do what you want it to do.
It'll take you 30min to read a few guides and install some software, and you can put your phone on "yakju". Your brain (and phone) will thank you.
I would apreciate some help here as i got really confused.
I just unlocked my bootloader from HTCDev just to discover that I cannot install custom recovery, I cannot have root access and there are no recent custom ROMs to install (I need a stable one but recent, not older than mine - 2.3.5)
Could you help me by answering, what's the point of unlocking bootloader if I can't have the above?
I need to use sdcard for apps but for this, Root is required which is not able.
I need custom ROM (if there is one which is fine tuned with better performance, battery, and lighter)
I need to use apps that need root access, i.e titanium backup, etc. how can I use them without root?
So is this forum really dead? I remember it was more alive a few months ago.
I'm abandoning my efforts since I have to recover the phone back to normal use but it's a pitty that things are like that here.
First things first........as a senior member you should know well to post questions in the General section ONLY
Second..... if you have unlocked the bootloader correctly(i know you might have done that), root via Doomlord's easy root kit....
As far as the recovery is concerned...use Rom manager..... it's the easiest way
And the "aliveness" of the forum is quite well as compared to other fora...... the other mid-range phones may have more roms but a majority of them are PURE KITCHEN WORK while others have a little framework changes in CM7..... so there's no extra choice as compared to our phones.....
If you want good roms, mindhaxer/einstein.frat's(they both are the same) roms are good sense ones
Or you can try CM7 or CM9 if you are an AOSP fan
I hope this long post is the answer to all your points in your 2 posts
First of all, thanks for answering.
Second, even if I posted in Q&A, I don't believe I would get any different answers and,
third and most important, I have done my reasearch thoroughly but couldn't find this part you mentioned anywhere so I was trying to gain root with many other methods like super tool, etc. Now, if those guides are not stickies how could I possibly know where to find those steps? they were not even in the first 4-5 pages of the WFS forum.
Yes as a senior member I decided it would be wiser to post here in order to have better chances but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, I have to thank you again because you guided me to find the DooMLoRD package which wasn't mentioned anywhere else and now in a few minutes I managed to root the phone which I abandoned a few hours ago.
I still insist though that this info must be gathered here as sticky otherwise new comers will always be confused and need years to manage something which in other forums is managed in minutes.

I went from complete noob to unlocking, installing cwm and then a custom rom by doing a lot of reading in xda and other forums. The info is all there!
You expect to spend 2hrs reading and know how to root, you need to spend more time learning, and the more time time you spend the less chance of messing it up.
I spent a lot more than 2hrs and all went fine and I've never had a problem.

Its not about getting an answer to your question. Its about keeping this section clutter free. Its the development section for a reason, and I'm mighty sure I'm not seeing a custom ROM in this thread.
So follow the rules and post in General or Q&A next time.

Ok I see. Now I have 2 options: reply or shut up and leave. I'll do both.
Firstly I apologise for intentionally posting in the wrong thread (I had my reasons). I won't do it again, actually I won't post anything here again as that was a one time task for me.
Second, I see that you are ready and willing to give me lessons and increase your thanks meter between each other but before teaching me how much time of reading is necessary before you root, let me tell you that I was in xda long before you and I know very well both how much reading is necessary but I also know what the spirit of a community is. There are mods here who didn't get irritated as fast as you. From the speed of your answers I recognise that you must not be older than 25 which doesn't make you mature so @scott_doyland, your opinion is accepted but I was a noob on 2005 and I have performed the root procedure on more than 6-7 phones just by reading so I've done my homework plenty of times and you know what? You don't need 2 hours to root a phone. Actually I need about 30 minutes max including the reading I do on the instructions of each phone. Only on this forum I didn't find all the info gathered and before you jump answering on that, I'm not complaining about this but that's the reason I posted in order to get an answer and avoid the research of 200 pages. It's you guys that got inflamed about that. So take a lesson from a veteran who broke the rules. The idea of the community is to help each other even if the answer was given several times. Some people may not have the time to read or maybe they have read tons of info on other forums and they are visitors like me and can't spent the same amount of time in all forums for each phone they have to root. I'm adraid that if you can't accept this, you are also breaking the rules. Do you see my thanks meter? well, not even one of those thanks was taken from posts like yours. Every single thanks I got was from help providing to noobs and to people who didn't do their homework. Maybe you should visit some forums in the DHD section and see what the spirit of community is all about.
I'm sorry for disturbing the calm waters of your forum but you won't see me again anyway. As I said, I spent many hours on other forums of xda, that was a one time stop for me because I had to root this phone and leave and since this forum doesn't have the most friendly structure in regards to info availability (stickies, etc.) I had to ask. I apologised for posting in wrong thread but I also had to pass the message that people willing to become teachers will have to become students, that's why I answered
Now, go ahead, feel free to start attacking and exchanging thanks between each other. You see, I contributed to your community in my own way. Many of you will double their thanks meters by tomorrow. I don't have the time to continue discussion, I have other things to do so, mods, please feel free and delete this post at some point since it doesn't lead anywhere but just take my feedback if you want and organise better the structure of your forum (if you want).
Ok bro. I have a S-ON, Unlocked Bootloader just like you. There are no way to root after u unlocked bootloader (because u need to update to lastest Hboot in order to UBL). I'd tried all tools i can find on xda and NONE of them can be use to root. There also don't have any clear guide for S-ON with UBL show how to install custom rom and get root.
But after few days digging up the forum, i'd managed to install custom rom + root. I share with you:
After your phone bootloader unlocked via HTCdev, your phone sure will have either HBOOT-1.08.0099 or HBOOT-1.09.0099. You'll need a ClockworkMod recovery image on your computer to install rom + root. And you'll need a working Android SDK with Fastboot to do get ClockworkMod working on ur S-ON phone.
OK let's say now you have fastboot folder alr, and know how to use it.
1. Download lastest clockwork mod .img here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. put the file .img just downloaded to the fastboot folder.
3. Turn off phone, then hold volume down + power ---> wait the menu searching for the zip file (of course we ignore this) then press Power again to go to fastboot menu.
4. connect phone to laptop via usb cable.
5. Open fastboot folder, right click choose open command windows here.
5a. If you are on HBOOT-1.08.0099:
Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:
Code:
fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:[email protected](misc),[email protected](recovery),[email protected](boot),[email protected](system),[email protected](cache),[email protected](userdata),[email protected](devlog),[email protected](hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
5b. If you are on HBOOT-1.09.0099:
Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:
Code:
fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:[email protected](misc),[email protected](recovery),[email protected](boot),[email protected](system),[email protected](cache),[email protected](userdata),[email protected](devlog),[email protected](hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Ok men, now u just download any rom u like, put it to ur memory card and flash rom like normal.
Remember that, everytime u flash new rom, u need to repeat the whole process from step 3 to step 5.
Hope this can help you bro. Cheers for our S-ON
BIG THANKS to this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374926
Dear guy, your topic not yet help me to S-OFF my phone, but it gave me the temporary solution to install custom rom. Cheers to ur good work!!!
P/S: to the thread creator: Why u gave up so early bro...Xda-developers is great forum.
Ok, because many people are confused and PM me about what's next after unlock, here's the answer. Don't try the Super Tool, it doesn't work. At least for some people.

and use that script instead. It will flash Busybox and su to your phone. That's it. You have root acces then.
@Ghekua: If you have unlocked your bootloader then you have already installed the apropriate HBOOT. Just run that script from the post I attached above and you will have root access.
Edit: Oh, sorry, I read your post before edit and got different meaning. Anyway, thanks, I used the post above which is much faster and easier and I'm done.
Ghekua, if you install a custom rom it will already have root access, no need to root a custom rom.
I rooted my stock rom just by flashing cwm and then via cwm flashed a root.zip file from xda.

i know it bro haha. I just post the post there. But i wonder if there is any chance to keep the CWM for S-On so everytime we flash a new rom, we no need to flash CWM again.

Flashing a new rom does not wipe cwm.
Cwm is always there unless you flash a different 'recovery'.

it's true for S-OFF bro. For S-On every time flash new rom need to fastboot to flash cwm again.
(i'd tried to install cwm by rom manager app, by flashable zip downloaded from clockworkmod website, no use)
I find downloading alquez's recovery and replacing the android_info file with the last RUU/update [of same], then flashing via hboot to be the simplest solution [since it works on marvel & marvelc].. I just keep that PG76IMG.zip on my sdcard and swapout android_info as needed [no need to sign or anything]. Of course then if you wanted latest-and-greatest [gsm] you'd root [Heritz guide works across board gsm & cdma], install your Rom Manager and reflash. But I like simple solution that works on both my wildfire s's
I do agree this is a general topic and if anyone has read my simplistic thread responses, I've stated above philosophy repeatedly in various threads.. and it seems to always work

How strange. I'm s-on and I never have to reflash CWM. I've only ever flashed it twice and the second time was just to upgrade to a later CWM.
