[Q] I don't want to sound like a brat, but how close are we to a 1 click root?

Let me start of by saying I'm really grateful for all of the hard work all the devs put in for this big win! But I'm trying to weighout waiting for a 1 click or if I should test my adb skills. You know how it goes. Thanks everybody!

This has already been done with visionary

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but if following the very clear and succinct step-by-step instructions worries you too much, I'd question if you should be rooting your phone to begin with. You can mess up a lot on a rooted phone if you don't know what you're doing.

you got a replacement for your phone because you couldn't take the time to revert on your own and then apply the update? shame on you.
@OP
root is very easy, if you can read and follow directions you will be fine, but what the others say is true, if you are worried then you should either learn up on your sdk tools or not root your phone because i promise you will get a bootloop one day and not know what to do and you will ask us if it is broken and how to fix it(unless you have been doing your reading), and most likely if we tell you how to fix it then you are going to need adb anyways

rooting is really easy if you use the rage method.

Thanks for being a ****, but your anti failed, I upped my ADB to spite you. 3 phones rooted, no problems yet.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think the one-click root method is great for the G2. Unlike the Vibrant there is a step that can brick your phone, and you are best doing that one by hand. Plus, learning ADB will make your life sooooo much easier when you actually do root the phone.
Rooting is just the first step, then you have to do cool stuff to it. Then you need to screw it up, and then you need to fix it. All of that is made much easier or requires ADB.

[Q] how to root htc desire

Hello People
I have a HTC Desire ( A8183) & want to root, I dont have the confidence in doing this myself as i dont want to brick my relatively new toy yet.
I live in Perth WA & looking for a techie that can do this for me. i have tried 2 different telephone repair shops & neither could do it, both had the phone for 3 days each. If they cant do it i am not confident at having a go myself.
Does anyone know of a techie that can do this for a reasonable cost.
Thanks in antisipation

Search for unrevoked.com and do of yourself. It's supereasy and has video tutorials. Check also on the stickies
[Sig] dId you know? If you Insert a Coin on your Desire, then it levels up to HD, Z or S :[/Sig] !!!! 10 post limit for off topic NOW!!!!

Read then read again, then read again. Unfortunately in depth information is a bit fragmentated, but general "how to's" are available.
How do you know "techie" won't mess it up? Best to do it yourself, but do your research beforehand. Everyone here was in the same boat as you, but they done it. As long as you are careful, don't rush things, and follow guides chances of messing it up are very slim.
Good place to start.

just use the Noob Proofed Guide, you cant do anything wrong. I was in the same situation like you. I didnt want to brick my phone, but I rooted yesterday evening for the first time without any problems. If you're not confident just take enough time. Plan an evening that you spend with your Desire. Watch all the videos and dont be afraid of all the codes and stuff! It looks much more complex than it realy is!
good luck!

Am i the only one who doesn't like video how to's, but like step by step instructions with or without pics? It's just so much easier to go back a few steps to recheck that you done it right.

I like it if I can do a step while someones making the exact same thing and I can see it live. in tutorials often things arent mentioned 100% clear or arent the same.

[Q] History on Rooting Samsung devices

Hey guys. Not a noob to XDA or rooting and modding but i am a noob coming into this Epic touch. I've had alot of HTC devices and rooted all of them all kinds of ways and modded them to the extreme. Now that i have a Samsung device it seems like a whole different ballgame. So here is my question. Is Odin just the long and beginning way of rooting Samsung devices and later a one click root app will be produced? Or is Zedomax per say the only way to doing this?

I would wait for an epic1 or evolution type of root
Samsung Galaxy S Dos indeed

You'll get used to it in no time man, Samsung devices are really easy to modify once you understand the tools.
Don't be afraid of Odin, as long as you read directions correctly, you'll come to love it.
Odining the rooted kernel is pretty much almost as easy as One-Click-Root.
But I'm sure someone is going to make a O-C-R sooner or later just for the community to have it, so if you'd like to wait it'll be there. But I can guarantee you that you'll sooner or later be using Odin for something so you might as well just get used to it from the beginning

I'm probably going to wait for a modified kernel too. Right now I have a rooted stock kernel which allowed me to use rooted apps. Clockworkmod doesn't work with the rooted stock kernel though. Can't flash any zips just yet.

S-off root

Could someone link me to an easy s-off root. It's not for me, I'm rooting a friends phone. I have a evo lte and an evo shift and I know how to root. I'm just lazy and don't want to spend 10000 hours with his phone hooked up to computer. And please don't troll me with the "use your search" never works for me. Just a link is all I ask. Thank you in advance!

u probs got more chance of sprouting elvis outta ur backside than easy s-off lol!!!!:silly:

Get a life people! Its not the end of the world when someone asks a question. Just politely answer or move on. Or is this your world?

You people surprise me.
To answer the questions... as there may be some terminology mix up here.
S-Off: Not yet
Root: Yes after HTC-Dev unlock. No exploit to avoid using HTC-Dev.

I earned 3/4 of my thanks helping people with either Epic, Epic Touch, NS4G, or GNex and I am scared as hell to unlock and root my One X. I paid someone $25 to link to my laptop with TeamViewer and handle it for me on my EVO LTE. I may do the same again if someone is down. Everything is so different.

It isn't that bad. It is pretty much impossible to brick this thing since we have S-On yet and people aren't running around flashing bootloaders on low battery and other stuff.
All it is literally is getting the oem token from fastboot, pasting it into the htc dev website, then flashing the bin file they give you. It does format /data (factory reset) on the device once you accept the agreement that shows on the device but you are then unlocked. All you have to do then is flash cwm and install supersu/superuser zip.
If you need additional help, feel free to PM me. I am drinking tonight so I may not reply immediately just an fyi .

[Q] kinda lost

ok so first of all im sry if this has been posted elsewhere but ive been looking and cannot find anything. secondly im not sure if this is the right spot but im still gonna post it right here.
now onto the question, basically i had an inspire 4g rooted with ICS which i loved but recently moved to verizon, got a nexus n everything back on the phone except my game data which i backed up on inspire using "my backup". obviously it wont work without me rooting my nexus. im trying to not root this phone unless i truly have to since i dont see the point in it right now since it already has everything i want from the getgo. but basically wat options do i have for getting the data to work on the nexus? i unzipped the backups n everything n am kinda at a lost at wat i can do.

Not much you can do without SU permissions (root). You could try pulling the files you want to copy from Android/Data then pasting them in the same directory on your Nexus. There isn't much value in having a Nexus if you aren't going to root it though. That's just my opinion.

Yea I was kinda figuring that with the whole permissions but I was hoping there was a work around for it n I did what u suggested n it actually worked so I'm good now. Thx for the advise n about the rooting I had a friend do his n it didn't seem like he gained much besides basically what we were talking about n such. So if u could tell me all of the benefits then I may reconsider doing it ASAP lol

I'm not going to sell you on the idea, I have nothing to gain from it whether you do or don't. You are a member of these forums, if you don't see anything that interests you then don't root.

Just because you root it doesn't mean you have to flash a custom ROM, you can leave it bone stock and just restore your game data...

I'm decfently not asking to b sold on the idea. I just have no idea as to wat I gain by doing it on the nexus. I knew that with my inspire I could put ICS on it with no problem n make it tweak it for better performance n get full customization out of it along with the recovery options. I

Well off the top of my head there's:
SetCPU
Modifying Color Multipliers
Root Permissions
Assorted Mods etc.
That's just without changing the ROM.

You can gain quite a bit without even flashing a custom ROM as mentioned above, but some of the Gnex ROMs have insane customisation options...

Rooting and unlocking takes up a lot of your free time. Makes your phone act stupid when you least expect it.

Rooting and unlocking = 15 minutes if you read everything. 30 if you are seriously slow.
Your phone is only as smart as the person using it, if something goes wrong its almost certainly something YOU did. Don't try to blame your experiences on the rooting and unlocking process.

flashing takes seconds, no need to be flash addict..
troubleshooting? sounds like you flash crappy roms. I have no woes/troubles here.

I haven't seen the reason to root yet but I do plan on it in the future when I get bored n want more. I just didn't see the benefits since I like how ICS n jelly bean n feel but thx for all the info guys. It helped a lot

While I respect your answer as being correct: I had a rough time and I tried so hard to read everything, starting with efrant's educational post and all the guides, basics, tips and tricks, etc. By the end of the day I had 12 different tabs open trying to figure out what I had done wrong. It seemed so simple, and yet somehow I ended up having to factory reset, go back to stock and start over, and THEN it took 20 minutes. It was a good learning experience, but frustrating. Turned out it would have taken 20 minutes to begin with, except in all that reading I somehow missed that after you root, the Gnex reboots and you have to wait a while, go through set-up and turn USB debugging back on. I suppose my mistake was not reading through all the guide post replies after the official "guide" post--lesson learned. I took my licks, I suppose. Total n00b, coming into this with basically no knowledge.
Though I really can echo your assertion that it's something "you" did--the unlocking and rooting process is pretty simple. It was my mistake, for sure.
