I replied to your question in modaco but I mentioned again here, do you do the bootloader unlock procedure first before you run the superboot ?
I'll make a simple tutorial later on how to unlock and root the htc one v.

hii, sorry i havent checked modaco yet. i just got the phone like 2 days, so i havent done to the bootloader. it's still s-off tho. so what am i supposed to do before flashing the boot.img ?
thanks

Continue discussion here as I seldom go to MoDaCo thread... I'll post "how to" later (say in next two hours when I'm at home).
EDIT: I made a simple tutorial on how to root your htc one v HERE
in htcdev, i have t pick "all supported devices" ?
because there's no htc one v option

If the phone is S-OFF then you don't need to unlock the bootloader. Just root it.

Right... if it is already s-off, just download the SuperSU from Play store and you are done.
@handisetyadi - is your bootloader written there s-off ? Please recheck.

S-OFF doesn't mean that the phone is rooted. He needs to do this first:
ckpv5 said:
Rooting with Superboot
1. Download r1-primo-superboot.zip to your computer and extract in any directory.
2. Download the modded boot.superboot.img
3. Replace the boot.superboot.img in the folder that you extracted just now (r1-primo-superboot).
4. Power off your phone by holding the power button down for 10 seconds
5. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down (going to Fastboot mode)
6. Highlight Fastboot With Volume+or- then press Power
7. Connect your phone to PC
8. Double click ‘install-superboot-windows.bat’
Once it complete, the phone will reboot on its own. In app drawer you will see a SuperSU icon, click on it and update SU binary then you are done with rooting your Htc One V.
You can try any app with root access to confirm it is working.

He needs to do that only to have root and full ADB root access, if he already s-off and needs only root, just download the SuperSU from Play Store but no ADB access.
But I guess his One V is S-On, that is why he failed to flash the boot.img the first time he tried.
I just s off it and root it. But it seems it doesnt have root access yet. But i already have SU app.
Everytime i go to root uninstaller app, it asks me for adb access which i dont know how.
And also, when o try to update SU binary, it always fails. Everything is ok except the busybox checking and Gaining root access

There's a sticky Tutorial on how to root and unlock the bootloader. I looked through it, and everything you need is right there. For the time being, I will be closing this thread, to avoid any conflict with the sticky.

hi guys!
I'm completely new to the forum but I didn't find the introduction section like in other forums, so sorry if I first didn't present myself there!
I just got a galaxy nexus and I'm using a mac.
I was able to unlock it and now I would like to root it in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and all over the web the developer team says to root the phone using fastboot. The problem is that all the links redirect to the modaco page with the first actual link and this takes you to a filesonic page which is down for the moment...
I guess this is caused by the recent sopa and pipa...
What am I supposed to do? is there any other way to download it?
every rooting guide I found talks of using fastboot...
thanks!
Do you have the android sdk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Pretty sure those links have been down for a while.. check the dev section for other ways to root.

But since the developers say that you ned a gnex rooted with fast boot I thought I had to use that method in order to use their rom. So I can use any Method I want to root it?
If you've unlocked the bootloader then you have already used fastboot so just use the fastboot commands to flash CWM and then use that to flash the root package. Get the latest Superuser package from here:

Fastboot is not a program you should download. It is the menu that appears wat your GN when you start up your phone with Volume up + Volume Down + Power button. You should however download the appropriate files for unlocking and rooting etc. See other threads on what those files are...
If you installed the android sdk then it should be in the platform tools folder.

Ok thanks guys I'll give it a try when I get home!
Hey, I got this off the Chinese version of our xda-developers site. It seems as they are quite ahead in this department. thought I would share it with you guys. Not my work, all credits go to Cason.
Proven to work.
EDIT: Must Have Unlocked Bootloader!
Steps:
unzip,
put your phone into usb debugging mode,
connet to computer
double click install-root.bat

I could be wrong and i'm sure some will tell me if I am but, I think we need S-Off before we can even start to into 1 click root without using HTC dev.

So if I unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. I could just use a standard root method?
Heres my issue. I have the internatinal X with 1.29 and want to root
Can you tell me my options? I know the pros and cons of rooting and I know the theory behind it. This is just my first try and want to get it right. I'm looking for a fool proof method!
Thankyou so much if you can help

Well this this my first time rooting a device. It's my first big boys phone and I get the pros and cons of root and unlocked bootloader. Just because it's my first time im scared.
So if I unlock my boot loader I can root (what method? Can you point me in the right direction please?) and keep stock ICS for a while then update ROM when I feel fit?
One main warning if you unlock your bootloader with HTCDev your warranty is basically void.
I just bought a used HTC Desire.
And I tried to root it, but i can't
I have tried Revoke and Revulotionary.

Is my HTC Desire already rooted??

No there is not a "superuser" app
Where can I download the official 2.3.3? I can't find it
You are S-OFF but doesn't have the Superuser app yet most definitely.
To get root, you have to flash superuser zip found on Revolutionary FAQ page. Read it and it's there. Third FAQ item if my memory serves me correct.
Alternatively you can just flash a custom rom and it will have superuser out of the box.
EDIT: Here read common problems and questions. It's item number 4

Save that zip file on your SD card.
Choose Recovery on the hboot menu.
Depending on what recovery you have, look for something that says flash/install from sd card
select the file and let it do it's work
reboot

Looks like you haven't flashed a custom recovery yet...
Since you're using a desire with german language, I suspect that you speak german ;-)
Before you play around with your device, I think it's better to read and understand what you're doing. Therefore, brutzelstube.de is a great german website specially about rooting and modding the desire. Maybe you should just read the tutorials there and see what your device is capable of. If you need to ask what to do next for every step, you probably won't have much fun with your rooted desire. Especially if you want to flash a custom rom.
As it is a used device, what about the one who owned the device before? Can't you ask him what exactly he did?
You could also just install and run an app that requires root (like Titanium Backup or Rom Manager) and see what happens...

Well, first of all there was the question if root-access works or not. Looks like the answer was no, but just trying it out does no harm. And since Rom Manager requires root, it should be ok for testing, just like any other root app. I didn't say he would need it.
Or he could just look in app drawer for the superuser app

Ok, A lot of people flashed the OTA...
But now you got the ugly watermark...
Yes it can be removed...
It does require root.
Copy the services.jar to your computer and run ADB.
Code:
adb remount
adb push services.jar system/framework/
adb reboot
Your watermark is now gone.

Thank u for ur help, but in that thread I did not find the solution I was looking for, or I couldn t understand it. Once again, my HOX is stock, on latest european rom 2.17.401.2 and I would like to upgrade it to this JB 3.09.401.100 rom. Do I need to unlock bootloader and root the phone to do it, or I can do the upgrade without doing that, some other way, so I don t lose the warranty.
Thank you.
You could try putting the zip file into the internal memory and rename it to update.zip and boot to stock recovery and flash it from there.. Normally the ota file would get saved into /cache/ folder and flashed by the system from there....
I didn't try it as I'm receiving this update officially as part of the user trial program

Hi! I am one of the lucky ones that got an S-OFF HOX. How do I install this ROM? All I ever did to my phone is flash a stock ROM using RUU from my PC(the 2.17.401.2). Do I need to root my phone? Also, how do I remove the watermark if my phone is not rooted? I am a complete noob!

Put OTA in internal storage.
Got to HBOOT, start recovery.
PRess volume up+power
Select flash zip from internet storage.
Select the ota.zip and flash.
Thats it.
To remove watermark, check s-off root on modaco.com
And follow the steps in post #1.
First and foremost, please know that I have searched and searched again for hours and really have exhausted what in my opinion is my skill level for the rooting process. Previously hacked a PSP but that seemed easier than this.
I have tried the one click method and I have tried the HTCDev method. Both to no avail. I've run the .bat, I've tried the cmd cd Download cd OneXRoot... I couldn't get the One click .exe to run on my Windows XP even after installing .net framework. Can anyone help? I will divulge phone software versions, firmware etc if anyone decides to help me... And please only comment if you can specifically help... No trolls, no haters, no unconstructive comments.
Sorry for the noobism...
Thank you.

hi , try using this it should be what you need if you are going to flash custom rom's go to htc dev to unlock bootloader thats the first and foremost thing you need to do . Htcdev is just to unlock your bootloader and nothing else

if i helped you say thanks =)
What issue are you currently having with 'HTCDev'? Did you successfully unlock the bootloader?

I promise you all those methods do not work. I tried to run the root.bat access denied. I tried the one where you open up cmd and type cd Download, access denied... Finally I tried One Click but the .exe wouldn't open due to wrong .net framework, which I then downloaded but I was told by XP was not able to install 4.0.3...
Obviously I am going to need a work around on this but like I say One Click is no good for me... I'm going to reply again with my phone's info... I'm guessing the cmd way will be best to eventually get to work for me...

Hi mate, firstly u need to install the SDK etc,
Then you unlock your bootloader
Then you can install the custom recovery
Then you need to install the super user app (or SU etc) This will give your rom Root privileges (i.e you can install mods etc) This is not installing a custom rom
If you want to install a custom rom you can skip the step above as all custom roms have these root privileges.
Download your rom and stick it on your SD card
Make a backup through the custom recovery (you can revert back to stock if things go tits up)
Boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img via fastboot commands (or use a fastboot kit if one is supplied with the rom)
Go into recovery, flash your rom and reboot
The above is just summarizing whats on the guide I gave you so you should know what order you need to do things and where to look on the guide
If I do this and unlock the bootloader**** sorry predictive text!
