So, some one let me know how do I use those .zip files and flash my Wildfire ?
Thanks in advance !
Rooted ROM simply means you will not lose your root when you flash it (Since Superuser is included, as stated) . It wont help in your case, to gain root.

I rooted using the easy root for the OTA 1.47 and my new build is 1.17. I figured i was rooted. I downloaded Rom manager from the market but it wont let me flash or even download clockwork so i can do a recovery rom so i can flaxh custom roms....... help please NOOOOBIE.
use the simple root ota 1.47 to flash a recovery or use the first part of taostcfh's root method part 2 to flash a recovery

Not with temp root. You must have a perma rooted incredible to load custom roms. You also must have a custom recovery. Just use unrevoke's program to root your phone and it will do everything for you.
Can i take the root off if i use unrevoke's program?
No the unrevoke program only does the following.
1. Gives you root
2. Loads the custom recovery
3. Optional - Turns the security off on the phone. *AKA S-OFF*
All the security is a signature check to make sure that only Verizon/HTC signed roms or updates can be flashed.
The only way to remove root so far on the Incredible is to flash the RUU which restores your phone back to what it was when you took it out of the box.
Also no I do not think it would be wise to remove root from the phone while running a custom rom. Not having root access while on a custom rom would be a nightmare if you need to do anything with Rom manger.
All custom roms are packaged as rooted roms. If you really want an unrooted custom rom then you will need to either get someone to cook one up for you or make it yourself.
S-OFF
The version of UnrEVOked available for the Incredible also does S-OFF.
Users of this root method have no choice; S-OFF is done automatically ~ per the notes on their site.
Hi,
I got a rooted wildfire with some old version of root but it's still rooted. Is there any reason to use a newer root to re-root or is that completely unnecessary?
Also, is there any reason why I should update clockwork mod?
Thanks on beforehand!
Not necessary, your "old" root should do.
Clockworkmod 3.x is necessary if you intend to flash Gingerbread ROM's.
I want to root my One X, but i dont know that i can update my mobile after root throught OTA, or not. So is it possible? I dont want to use custom rom, kernel, or other. Some forum says YES, some says NO.. I only want a root for some programs. Becouse if i cant update, i no need root. So? :silly:
Sv: [Q] Can I update my One X throught OTA after root?
Just root don't install custom room

Yes you can install if you ONLY root the rom. Make sure you flash back the stock recovery after performing the root with the custom recovery !
I am currently running the Hyperdrive Rom. It has been a while since i flashed it. I seem to remember that I did not root my phone because the rom had root priv. I only installed the custom recovery. I would like to switch over the AOKP rom but I am not sure if I need to root first or if the rom has root. and also, if I do root will I then have to install a recovery again after. would also appreciate any advise on which root method is best. thanks for any help.
Check the change log for the rom and compatibility with your current Android firmware version. Most of the time after you root you'll be asked if you want custom recovery.
