I just mean she only wants root. she does not want a custom rom.
And who told you that if u wanna root u have to install a custom Rom?? Not necessary just follow a tutorial to root and that's all the Rom will stay the same
Also when you finish rooting don't forget to do a nandroid backup(v.i) because it will help if anything goes wrong or she wants to flash a custom Rom in the future

That thread has nothing to do with how to root the Incredible.
Not sure if unrevoked has fixed their rooting method or not as the last GB update last year broke it, it was on version 3.21 back then. As I have s-off I can flash recoveries in hboot which is an easy way to get a custom recovery in place which you then use to flash the superuser binaries to your system/bin folder. I had originally used unrevoked 3.21 to root it two years ago and set s-off so maybe someone who has recently used this will let you know if it still works.
http://unrevoked.com/
Easiest way to root is to htcdev unlock your bootloader, then fastboot flash the cwm recovery img, and then flash superuser through recovery. Thats it, your rooted.
You can use this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904, or this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258. Both achieve the same thing in the same way, just wrote up a little differently.

Not only possible, make sure you make a Nandriod backup before doing anything with the phone (root/update).
Search forum for Nandroid backup.
Hmmm.
What way is the best to do this?
I can see several ways, but it looks like all of them need the phone to be rooted. Someone should make a really easy step by step guide to backup, then root in a every noobish way.
Any easy way to archive my Hero to my Mac ??
Also, a OS X based easy way to do the vanilla firmware load so I will be ready to update when HTC release new software ?

I can't seem to find the answer
Should I do anything after I do the OTA Simple Root. I was thinking of flashing the original RUU and going through the 3 step simple root, assuming this method doesn't unlock NAND.
I am using the White HTC Evo if that matter
It seems like I am also having issues with Wireless Tether with this root method, maybe I should just RUU and start over

All simpleroot does is downgrade you from 1.47 to 1.17. You have to update to the stock rooted rom(guide below). You'll still have root/nand access with superuser permissions to allow wifi tether/titanium backup etc etc.
Guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
When it says to rename to PC36IMG.zip leave the .zip off. It won't read it with the .zip but leave the other file alone...don't rename it.

Ugh that is over my head...guess that I am not as savvy as I thought. I ended up just flashing the stock RUU and am going to run the 3 step simple root.

Which RUU did you flash? The 3 step simple root won't work with the latest RUU. You need the Simple root OTA.
EDIT: Which software version do you have as of now?

I ran the original RUU, which sent my software version back to 1.32.651.1
On another note, I get an unhandled exception error when running simple root step 2, saying file not found.

Okay, I'm kind of confused about something. Did you previously have root/nand access?
As for the simple root error, I have no clue. I haven't used that program. You'll have to post in that thread and ask someone.

I am not sure, I ran OTA simple root, but it somewhat confused me. Afterwards I installed Wireless Tether and it failed because of SU permissions. At that point I ran the RUU and was just going to start fresh. Everything is working fine, I just need to unlock NAND now.

Haha, you went forward then backward and now are moving to the same spot you was in earlier.
Where exactly are you right now as far as rooting? What have you done since flashing the RUU?

If simple root won't work follow these two guides.
Guide 1 - **you can skip the part with the evorecovery for now** - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
After that do this guide(part 2) - gives you unlocked nand - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701835

Hey, you live and learn.
Now, since that worked. You need the latest stock root rom(1.47). Go back to post #3 I made and follow my word of advice and the guide.

So at this point I can flash custom roms correct? I don't absolutely have to run the newest stock?

Yeah, you can go to a custom rom if you want. If you do the stock route first you have the option to do a nandroid backup which saves everything to that point so if you run into trouble later on you can just restore everything back to that point(meaning no doing rooting then unrooting then rooting again lol)
IMO, I would do the stock rom first and wait a couple days as the devs are cooking up the latest roms for a release here soon. Then I would get a custom rom but that is me.
EDIT: I only mention the nandroid backup because I don't believe you have a recovery flashed yet. If you do have a recovery I would highly suggest making a backup of both nand and google propiertory(however you spell it).

After I flashed that rom that you provided me with in link three, the recovery changed. I assume that is normal. The option for nandroid backup was gone, but I did find NAND backup with I assume is the same thing. The NAND backup is in case anything ever goes wrong when I am flashing correct?
Thanks for the help.
Hi i have a question.
I would like install a ICS on my desire z, but how can i install a cwm without unlocking my device by htcdev.com?
best way to get s-off and root is the wiki guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
part of it is how to install cwm recovery
This is the best that I have seen. IF you follow the directions you will have this done without hassle. I am so much a noob and I was able to root and s-off my g2 in less than two hours. I did my wifes phone in about an hour.
Thanks i will try it.
Homever can i install just cwm for flash any ics' rom or i must root my pda too?

Need root method for Stock ICS 4.0.4 on LG Nitro
Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to this forum and I novice when it comes to the Android OS.
I updated my LG Nitro to ICS 4.0.4 yesterday, July 31st, 2012.
I had a feeling I wasn't going to be able to keep my root and I was right. I no longer have root privileges and none of the previous methods I used to root 2.3.2 are working.
I have scoured the internet looking for a way to root ICS 4.0.4 with absolutely no luck.
I am looking for a working method to root the new update to the LG Nitro, ICS 4.0.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; however, please keep in mind that I catch onto things quick but I am not an expert by any means as far as the Android OS goes. I am used to the one click methods to rooting.
PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I REALLY NEED TO ROOT THIS PHONE TO USE MY APPS. ANYWAY I CAN ROOT THIS AND KEEP ICS WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
One working method is to flash v18f, root it and then flash v20c with some scripts
Is there a tutorial?

Okay I know the 1st post asked for root for the offical ICS version, but i don't know if there has been more updates since then, I just got a Nitro HD today. So will this method work to get permanent root for a band new out of the box software version LG-P930-v20c-June-25-2012???
I am not a noobie but I am use to rooting HTC phones and I just want to be sure this will work for software version v20c.
Thanks in advance and i would really appreciate if someone can tell me if this method is safe.

Yes, that method is safe and is the only currently known way to root the v20c version. However, even with root, you will not be able to install CWM. If you only want root, go ahead and follow those instructions.
If you are interested in installing custom ROMs, you must downgrade to a Gingerbread ROM (i.e., follow the unbricking guide).

OK I want customs roms and CWM recovery so i will follow Machzelet's unbrinking guide and hopefully this isnt too complicated. Thanks for your help.
In the ever changing market of roots and exploits I believe it would be nice to have a device specific rooting "poll". the other reason I'm starting this thread is because I can't seem to root my phone tried towelroot but it says my device is not supported. Im running stock 4.2.2 and I want to root mainly so I can back everything up before I custom install stock 4.4.2
Towelroot works for 4.4
Being on 4.2.2 you could try the Safe-Root method depending on your actual Firmware. Otherwise you have to stick to rooting through CWM.
All methods have their threads here. Please read them.
You could also backup your data with adb without root and after update restore this adb backup to your device. So there's no need to root before installing custom 4.4.2
CWM all day! so fast and easy to do plus it's easy to unroot.

4.2.2 can be rooted using Kingo. Doesn't trip knox.
