If its on 2.3 gingerbread the above method will not work you'll have to use revolutionary.io to root it

BBBig problem, Anyone can help?

Considered there's great chance that the official rom cannot be rooted, is it possible to back up my apps on my phone now and recover them to the new rom with their data? Thanks in advance.

既然都是中国人,我就不写英文了
你可以用钛备份,备份你的所有软件和软件数据,当然2.2和2.3系统不通用的,现在我暂时建议你继续使用2.2。。你可以去看看这篇帖子http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
,照着一步一步地做,降级成功以后用金卡刷1.32ROM(如果你没有金卡,你可以搜索下,很多做金卡的教程),然后ROOT,RADIO S-OFF,ENG S-OFF 再刷入CWM,现在你就可以随心所欲地刷ROM了。。

First I thank you for your kindly help, but I have to say what I want to know is about the htc official android 2.3, not 2.2.
PS: In such a international forum, if I may give you an advice, you'd better use english to make it possible for people who has the same problem to understand.

[Q] HTC Sense 3.0 for my HT Desire HD?? Please help!!

Hello everyone!!
I have the following question, I hope someone can help? I am using an HTC DHD amd would like to have the new sense 3 fully working on it. So I found this article that describes a rom for tbe inspire 4g and figured that the inspire and dhd are actually the same, the rom can work, right??! But, then I found this interesting fact, that rooting is impossible for desire hd that runs on an official 2.3.3. Is this true? Please help, I am ver new to all of this, but very want to learn!!
Thanks in advance
Danny
You don't want Sense 3. It's even more bloated and laggy than its predecessor.

Are you crazy? it's already ported to dhd.it's fully working.and it's rootable.from where the hell you collect this info.check dhd thread.
flash a sense 3.0 rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115312
His question was also if he could root 2.3.3.
It depends in your baseband. 1.72 etc. Go to setting and about (info) to find it. I think I saw a thread in dev section to now root 2.36. But I could be wrong. Check through the development forum.

Cool! so just an extra info for ya. Almost 2 weeks back there was no such thread to root any DHD above than 2.37 software number. the OP of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
He figured it out not only 2.37 can be rooted but also with any other different software numbers. If you ever feel like rooting your phone and enjoy some custom ROMs. Follow the link.

Hey everyone i have a question if u guys could please answer it

Hello everyone i am in no way new to modding and rooting but i am new to the epic 4g touch i just got it today and i was wondering if someone could tell me what the best and up to date method of rooting and applying cwm is. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks again for your time.
lol
thanks 4 all the help everyone. let me guess i should learn how to use the search function or maybe i should read through the forum more and i know i posted in the rite place so tell me why i dont deserve a response gezz all those views and not one single sentence. Well i did search i did read and i found a few. I am thinking acsyndicate might be the most up to date but i was also wondering which was the best so thanks again guys. Enjoy the rest of your night and day.

Have you ever thought that the people that viewed werent comfortable with the correct answer to give? You did only have 1 hour and 16 minutes from the OP to this post, so perhaps a little patience.
This is the method I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286893
I flashed this kernel through odin, it gives you root, clockwork mod, and busybox. I don't know if this is the "best" method, but it worked out pretty well for me. Hope things go well for you, and enjoy the awesome new phone
Damn dude chill out. Give it time. If u want just root without changing your kernel then flash crawrj rooted rom either odex or deodex. If u want root + clockwork mod then u need to flash a kernel but most people flashing kernels are suffering from LOS. I would recommend flashing the rooted stock rom.

[Q] completely new @ this

im completely new @ this android rooting thing............first of all i have a SGS2 from tmobile..... i rooted my device following a video i saw on youtube...in the description said somthing about this site so i went to the market and purchase and app called xda premium....ok so far so good......i dont know what to do with my device....dont know how to install themes( this why i root) the only thing i got to make was the wireless tether.......... other things like games,performance,al that stuff ,i cant make anything i made a clockwork mod or something like that because i thought of it as a mod for my clock LOL im new at this so please can somebody help me out?
lol no. Clockworkmod is not a mod for your clock.
ok, start with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
it will start you up. Make sure that you follow each step CAREFULLY.
What you want to do with your phone to get you started is this..
- install clockworkmod recovery (This will be your safety net from bad flashing(uploading new roms))
- root your phone.
- start flashing! (WARNING: now, be careful not to flash any rom other than the T-Mobile t989 model or AT&T skyrocket model roms. If you flash any other roms besides these, you will brick your phone (say bye bye! to your phone).
Good Luck!
dude not to be a **** but i wouldnt even do anything until you read up some more on how this rooting and installing custom roms **** works. especially if u thought cwm was a clock mod lmao. its all good tho bro just read up on everything u can and make sure u flash the right roms and mods to your phone. sgh t-989. and if you need any kind of help dont hesitate to pm me even if it is a stupid question. i want to see u try though, u get respect that way

Being rooted does NOT mean you can download free apps, games, etc. there are free apps on the market. We are here to help but not provide free paid apps. This isnt like an iPhone with cydia dude. main purpose of rooting is to customize your phone any way you want. I would also recommend reading the noob guide. Read alot. Donr want this to be an expensive brick for ya.

Root Chinese 820 Android 4.1.1 phone

Hi Guys,
I need a help with rooting my new Chinese Phone. Official name is 820.
It's a 1 GHz Rheastone processor with Android 4.1.1. More details here in attachment.
Any ideas which app should I use to root this non-branded phone?
Also can you advise a custom ROM?
Any help appreciated.
Goni
I've ordered the same phone and i'm going to try and root it when it gets to me.
Have you tried app caled xray?

No, not yet. I was waiting for some advise. Actually the reason why I want to root it is mainly the poor battery life. I'm hoping to freeze some unnecessary apps and processes. Anyway thanks for the hint. I was planning on trying One Click Root.
From my experience one click root does not work on chiniese phones (at least those which i got). GL - i hope you have some succes!
