As I am new in this waters maybe my Q is stupid for experienced members and I apologize in advance.
Found successfully the downgrade process and files for rooting my model but somehow i got used to sense atm and going trough rooting and restoring to factory ROM isn t exactly the dream work for noob in Android.
Is there a way to make a decent backup of the phone without perm root ?
Any other use of temp root?
Answers or simple redirections to other similar posts welcome and thank you.

bump
anyone ?
Anyhing changed in the meantime for 1.72? I also do not need root all the time, so temproot could be fine, but I see no solution so far.
Is it possible to keep phone officially updated and do temproot when needed?

I'm happy with the stock ROM that my unbranded Desire came with, but I'm thinking about rooting it to add some extra functionality - specifically two-way call recording and Titanium Backup right now.
Is it possible to root the phone without changing ROMs and/or losing all of my currently installed apps, settings etc etc?
If it is, what happens when ROM updates appear? Can I install the OTA updates or would I need to wait for someone to mod it to keep root enabled?
Finally, the same question but regarding 2.2. What happens when the official 2.2 update comes out? I'm guessing nobody knows for certain, but are we likely to be waiting a while before we can update if our phones are rooted?
I'd have thought this sort of thing would be covered in a rooting FAQ but I can't seem to find anything about it!
Much thanks for any advice.
I'm also very interested in the response to this, as a new Desire user I don't think that the rooting/rom upgrade guide is particularly helpful, it dives far too deeply into the topic before actually talking about the process, what it involves from a complete Desire newbie perspective.
In a word - no.
In a few more words, part of the rooting process has to replace your existing ROM.

Hey.. Long time HTC Vouge tweaker here... just got the evo and i love it.
I have three quick questions.
Can somone point me to a good thread that gives the lowdown on the basics of rooting and other stuff for the evo?
Second, I (stupidly) installed ota 2.2. I realize this is not rootable atm, but is there anyway to install a FPS fixed and or free WIFI kernel without rooting it?
If not is there anyway to do those things at all on a 2.2 OTA?
Thank
PS, what is the best backup utility out there now?

Those things all require root in order to do. The best backup utility is Titanium Backup, but it also requires root. As to a guide on rooting, they are specific to the software you are running. I would keep an eye out for the "Simple Root" which is an automated process. Once a 2.2 root is found they will create a program for it. It's only a matter of time before one of the devs have an ah ha moment.

You can't do any of those things without root. You can USB tether with programs like pdanet or easytether both found in the market.
Cool thanks for your help(s).
ILLEGAL PROCEDURE!!! The offence lined up in a 2 question formation but ran a 3 question play...LOL!!! Sorry but I could not resist...my bads.
hahaa I lold.
Hi,
I made the mistake of upgarading to 1.83 =(
now i cant even temproot with visionary+
anyone help me out?
also, i have lots of apps installed, some which are games i have hours of progress in. is there any way i can get my root back ? other than downgrade?
and if downgrade is the only option, can i do it without even temproot? and how can i restore my apps alongwith their data ?
its a lot of questions, but i thought this is the best place for it =)
You are one of the first ones with 1.83 who want to downgrade, could you try my downgrade guide? You can find a link to it in the sticky roll up thread. It should work.
well i wouldnt want to downgrade, only thing is i cant root it. previously i was rooted with visionary (upto about 5 days ago when i made the stupid mistake). Is their an alternate method to root which works on 1.83 that i am not aware of ? (as you said i am the first one with 1.83 asking for it)
I already have your downgrade guide almost memorized, all the tools are downloaded etc. but i would appreciate if you could help me answer the remaining questions regarding apps and app data (game progress mainly)
there is mybackup pro, but it only takes apk+data if you are rooted. any ideas even just to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. done a lot of research but still stumped =(

No, there is no way to root any of the latest firmwares, as things stand there is, as far as i know, no one working on root exploits on the latest firmwares because there is a straight forward method to downgrade. As regarding backup solutions i can't help you I'm afraid as I have root.
I know only my backup pro for backuping non-rooted phones. And that is right, there is no method to properly root new builds, you need to downgrade first.
Hello,
Thanks to this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045204
I've rooted my Arc successfully
But, since I've updated my Arc in 2.3.3 via Companion. My Arc is no more rooted !
Then my question is, can I root it again via this process : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045204
?
I'm noob, then please accept my apologies if my question seems stupid..
Thank you,
Benoit
No you can't root it using the method you linked - at the moment that only works up to and including 2.3.2.
However, you are in luck - you can follow this method posted a few days ago and which seems to be working for most (haven't tried it myself yet):

Merci
Thank you fo your answer, however I've already seen your link. And this method seems a little bit difficult for me.
Do you know if there is a chance that an easy method will appear later ?

Who knows. We have to wait untill a new exploid hack is released. At the moment you can unlock your bootloader and flash a pre-rooted sys file or you can use the methode provided in the post up here.
Well, for now it doesn't seem like there is another option. But, the way things move around here, I'd expect there root to be available via another method at some point. However, I don't understand anything about how the devs do their magic (I just follow the instructions they provide) so unfortunately I can't speculate about how long it might be.
I have a locked bootloader so I don't know if I'll be able to use custom roms in the future (although I'm more than happy with root and 2.3.3). If you want to have a go at flashing the 2.3.2 firmware, rooting and then updating OTA to 2.3.3 then feel free to ask questions here and I or someone else will help you out (it isn't hard really).
Ok I know there's a lot of threads about rooting the DHD; and i already know that firmware 2.42 cannot be rooted yet.
However i am asking here if we can have temporary root!?
I mean let's say i want to sell the phone so i want to backup my applications' data (especially games with hours of play) so i can restore them on the new phone.
And of course in that case, we need root access!
So is there is a way to do so?!

You can backup your contacts and messages without rooting your phone. But if you want the same image there is only one option to root. I'm afraid there is no any thread here to downgrade the build number ya mentioned. If I were you still I'd try this method.
Who knows ya might find the way to sneak out Good luck
