If your superuser app is the normal one use voodo temporary unroot from market but if you have used cf root method then open super su app and disable it , and after finishing playing with learning hub, enable root again woth simple one click

hey guys i was wondering if there has been any push for an Androot like application for rooting desires on 2.2
my phone doesn't like to play with my PC so I'm not game to root over USB but i would like to enable root apps on my current ROM if i can and this seems the easiest way to do it, but I'm not 100% on finding exploits or making use of them to make the app myself but would love to see this type of app return, or even something that guides you through it so you can root without having to connect to your PC.
any info would be appreciated.
I wondered always too if I can root my device from device itself, without using a computer for that
So I've been researching some different root methods, but I haven't really been able to find a specific thread based on what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for Wireless Tether usage a couple of times a month (e.g. when I'm traveling or something like that). This is ALL I want root for. I don't want a custom ROM or anything else.
What is the best root method if all I want is Wireless Tether to work? I don't even care if I have to "re-enable" it from the phone after a boot (e.g. a soft root). I'm trying to stay as close to stock as I can.
Please don't post about loading up a new ROM, I don't want that. I just want a clean, easy root to get wireless tether.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and assistance!
If Unrevoked 3.21 works for you, that would be the simplest option. It's not the least intrusive, but it doesn't require you to re-run it each time you start up your phone.
It doesn't require you to flash a custom ROM.

Thanks Noxious,
Could you elaborate on the method that is the least intrusive, even if I have to re-run it everytime I startup my phone? I'm assuming I have to re-run it from the phone and not the computer? I'm ok with that - and would actually prefer it if it's the least intrusive.
Also, how much will Unrevoked 3 change my device? Does it automatically load up a new recovery and all that?
I would also like to root for the same thing. How stable is wireless tether. I want to root just to use the wireless tether feature. I have read other forum posts stating it cuts in and out.
Basically I dont want to root if the wireless tether feature is kinda ify.
Can't you simply root and leave the stock ROM with Sense and all, and install Wireless Tether, SetCPU, and whatever else you'd want? Or do you need to have a ROM that someone's already made with all those things added to it?
Personally I'm holding off on Rooting until this 2.3/3.0 update.
actually in my opinion the unrevoked3 method is th easiest. the hardest part about that method is the driver installation. you do need to make sure you have all drivers installed and htc sync installed and then removed before you begin. If not it will hang during the rot process. unrevoked method of rooting actually changes nothing visually except for adding the superuser app(this is an easy indicator of being rooted). and the free wireless tether app from google is pretty much hands down the best. it is the one that most people include in their custom roms here is the apk for the wireless tether.

Thanks caguirr4. Does Unrevoked actually install a new custom recovery?

yes it does. it will install the clockworkmod recovery. not sure if it is the latest one but it is no big deal. do make sure that you make a backup as soon as you root. have fun buddy.

Are there any root options that don't? I'm just trying to stay as close to stock as possible with just the SU permissions to enable wireless tether. Thanks again.

None that i am aware of. But you need the recovery to make a backup. You can search the forum some more but I am pretty sure every root method requires some sort of recovery method.

Hey guys,
Firstly, sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology because I'm still quite unfamiliar with it.
Anyway, I just got my Desire Z about a week ago and am planning to root it so that I can access paid apps via Market Enabler.
I've read through all the guides on how to root and seems simple enough. However, I have a few questions regarding the default HTC applications.
1: Will I be able to continue using and updating the HTC apps (like HTC Locations, HTC Camera or HTC Car Dock) that came along with it after rooting?
2: Is is possible to keep the default SenseUI after rooting instead of getting a custom ROM that looks like SenseUI?
3: Will my phone stop working with htcsense.com after rooting?
4: Will I require a custom ROM installed into it after rooting, or can I just reuse the same default HTC ROM?
Basically, I love my phone and don't want to change anything except getting to access paid apps from Android Market. To do so, I would need to have Market Enabler working, which needs me to have Superuser permissions. Hence, why I need to root it.
Thanks!

Rooting is just rooting; nothing will change other than your ability to do whatever you want to/with your device. Just rooting won't change anything other than your ability to install apps which require root access.

Oh, so I suppose I was looking at the wrong rooting options then. The ones I've been looking at seems to flash the phone as well (unrevoked).
Guess I'll need to find a tutorial to just root the phone. Thanks!

Honestly i dont think ill root this phone for a long time. There seems nothing wrong with it

You don't root because there is a problem. Awesome apps is the reason.
Like 70% of the most awesome things on android need root access
Things like Sixaxis Controller for example
More examples would be good... I'm not 100% sure why on a stock device I would need root?
Looking at my Xoom which I have a custom ROM and Root on. There are only 4 apps with root privileges
CIFSManager - Allows me to connect to network storage, not 100% sure I would need / want this on my phone.
Mizuu - Movies Database which works with out root there is just one small feature that if you want to use requires root.
Root Explorer - File manager that again works with out root, root is only needed if you want to access system areas.
SetCPU - For overclocking and if your just running stock then I guess you wont be wanting to overclock.
PS: 131 apps / 4 require root = 3% (if 70% of the most awesome things on android need root then I'm missing a lot please help me!)

I didn't say 70% of the apps need root access I just said that 70% of the really cool stuff needs root Stuff you can't do with an iPhone
Titanium Backup anyone? I'' backup my HTC Sensation (well all the user apps) and restore them on the One X. AdAway is another reason.
Other than that I don't really need it for daily use.
This was a question raised on the CyanogenMod G+ page. The reality is that most people don't need ROOT. Some people shouldn't have ROOT.
Without Root you can't flash a Custom recovery (easily) and without a Recovery you can't flash good patches/themes or Custom ROM's.

Well you can root and have awesome apps but you don't need to install ROMs if you don't want to. But apps like titanium backup or root explorer are definitely worth it.
you remove bad apps that waste battery with root.
It depeneds up on the users. Root access can really brick the device if the user doesn't have enough knowledge about android. Xperia Arc stock firmware has lot of junk apps I need Titanium backup to remove them.
P.S. Most of my favorite apps need Root access. Root Explorer, Titanium backup, Voltage Control, Script Manager Pro etc.
Its going to be nice to have cm9 without having to root though. I hope more devs follow.

A must have app for me such as Titanium Backup need root to proceed...Root is more convenient for me~
I can't live without root, Titanium backup is a god send as I flash left right and centre, root explorer to debloat, AdAway as I hate ads when browsing the net, Voltage control as I like testing governors and such, Autostarts so I can stop apps from loading after boot, little things like that make root vital for me.

I just hope S-Off coming with one X asap..I really need root but dun wanna do unlock from htc bootloader...
The main reason i want root is to remove the adds in angry birds

If the above apps don't add any significant benefit for you personally (and you're happy to live without them), then there's nothing wrong with staying on the stock ROM. Still, here's a short list of things that I like about root:
- OpenVPN
- Root File Explorers
- Backup tools like Titanium
- Ability to remove stock apps
- CPU over/underclocking & voltage control
- Undelete/ file recovery tools
- More advanced screenshot/screencasting tools
- Add blockers
- Voice call recording apps
- Mods to improve stock apps (eg. camera features)
- LCD Density tools
- Custom ROM's and the new features they bring to unsupported devices.
There are many others, but I think the turning point for most people is when they have a specific need for something that can't be achieved without root. If you don't have such a need, why risk bricking your phone?
Good luck with your decision
Bugsy.
Most people come to xda for cool stuff. Most of these cool stuff requires root for example, titanium backup,cpustats, supersu, busybox and also for some "ahem" apps Rooting adds the admin function or rather extends the usefulness of your device
I wont be updating till the phine becomes outdated
Rooted my desire after a month
This phone will probaly last longer.
Or unless there us an amazing rom
Or maybe to underclock the phone
Sent From My HTC sensation (desire with rcmix s )
I rooted my desire and ended up really missing a few of the Sense apps (like the dialer). I do love trying out the different roms though, and just tinkering with my phone
I would like to do that without bricks. I think there is no safe root mechanism as of today. Its a new ohone and Im very poor.
You must not have looked very hard.
There has been a low risk easy method of rooting out for a while now:

Everything worked flawless but I dont know how to install ad away without root.
You can't install ad away without root.
What do you mean everything worked flawless? If you didn't root your phone the other things aren't doable.
