Ok well I tried rooting my g2 using this guys video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU9zn_BEth4 ...I did everything exactly...and I have S-off ....what happens is that root doesn't stck so everytime I reboot I don't have root access...I tried doing what some said....temp root > su > sync > reboot .....didn't work....also tried... temp root then perm root using VISIONary r12 and r13 didn't work either...
The superuser app is always there....what can I do to solve this? Will starting all over again can gave me issues?....

Any non offical rom usually has a perm root in it. So yes flashing a custom rom (I'm on cm 6.1) can make the root stick
Plus all of the custom roms are better then stock lol

Ok let me this straight...so all I have to do is temp root > flash clockworlds recovery > flash a rom > then I would have perm root?

That's all u gotta do bro.
Correct me if im wrong but you need s off to flash clockwork recovery...so no you cant just get temp root and flash a rom.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
he has s-off, but seems to be losing root when rebooting so since he has s-off his steps are correct:
temp-root, clockwork, ROM
My bad.

Why don't you just use unrevoked 3? Its really easy!

If you're already on GB (2.3) you wont be able to root.

Just use what I posted above, its the easiest method to root 2.2. All you need to do is restart to clear the temp root.

Unrevoked will install clockwork, then you can install amon RA. Lets not jump the gun you still need root lol.
the way your rooting right now is the way i rooted my phone! i think i ran into that exact same problem back then too....i think i pulled my battery and started over....i cant remember...its been like 7-8 months.
also...what you can do...is run the RUU for 2.2 to wipe your phone (also do a factory reset beforehand too and back up your sd card on your comp) and then start over.
or try a different way...try unrevoked or xHausx's method: [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Auto Root ~~~ v2.5 (4/25/11) - xda-developers
after you got your evo rooted....flash Amon_RA recovery ([Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers)
hopefully this helps ya out!
I want to unlock my boot loader and root my phone, but I've heard doing so wipes all data off of your phone. There is a certain live wall paper I would like to keep which is no longer available on the market.
How would I go about saving this file somewhere? Without having root access in the first place ofcourse.
Any tips much appreciated.

You dont need an unlocked bootloader to root your phone
if you root your phone first (theres a thread bout it in android development section) and install Titanium backup/MyBACKUPROOT and backup your wallpaper it should be saved
Unlock Bootloader,regain root access,restore!
Do I not need to flash down to 2.3.2 to use that root method? I'm currently on 2.3.3. Would flashing down wipe the phone?
Or is there a new root method?

Although why you would want to root and not do anything else is a mystery.
Did you mean to say what can you do besides root? In that case, we would need to know what model of phone you have in order to polnt you in the right direction.

Remember you need to enable USB debugging in Aplications>Development
Didn't I already answer this? Use superoneclick its easy. Rooting is easy. But why just root when you can do so much more

Even I had the same questions..
I'm on an R800i ..
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
I just got the phone this week, so I'll be happy with the stock rom for a few months..
All I wanna do is root it, so I can remove the bloatware..
(If possible, without having to unlock the bootloader for now)
My last phone was the LG P500 .. and all I needed to root that was run the gingerbreak apk.
Any chance of that working here?
Also, there is a sticky in the dev section for how to root, but that now redirects to a page [WIP] ClockworkMod Recovery - FreeXperia page..
So really confused..
Do I install CWM and then flash that file for rooting?
(is it possible to install cwm without rooting?)
Or do I root it using some other method, and then flash CWM using what that thread says?
Uber confused..
it is not possible to root Rombuild .62 you need to downgrade your rom to.40
dang..
and for downgrading I'd have to use flashtool, right?
wouldn't that format the phone as well?

First you root then u install the clockworkmod recovery. Superoneclick worked for me or use flashtool.
