Hello.
I have recently bought a HTC One V, my first Android phone ever. I don't have that much experience with it, but I discovered this thing called rooting. I tried to root my HTC and it took so long because I'm an amateur. Now, I finally made it fastbootable, I rooted it, but it isn't fully rooted? For example, Superuser is on it, even if I reset my phone to defaults. But then again, I cannot use it. I can't give root-required applications the permission to use root. It doesn't even ask me. I thought my phone was not rooted, so what I did is try to root it again. But then I get the message it is already rooted?
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you in advance.

Download "es file manager" go to the root of the phone and go to /system/bin/ and see if there's a Su file in there
Bringing Life To The " Vivid, Incredible 4g, One XV "... Oh yeah.!!

My Evo is doing fine, but I was trying to help a friend root his yesterday and the Unrevoked 1-click apk didn't appear to be doing the trick. The only difference I can think of between our two phones is that I haven't downloaded the update that came this week. Has Sprint defeated this root method in the most recent patch?
Yes...they are up to UnrEVOked 3.

Right, this method requires you to use a PC though, right? I'm wondering if its still possible to root it using the unrevoked on-phone application, or has this been defeated? And if so, was the defeat in the most recent patch?
bump. I'm afraid the answer given is still a bit unclear to me. Can someone please clarify?
Make sure you are going to 'unrevoked.com/m' if you want to use it on your phone and avoid having to use the pc method. I forgot the /m when I first tried it and got pretty confused as well.

Yes, this is exactly what I did. The apk downloaded and installed, but didn't appear to gain root when I ran it. I ran it several times, but every time I attempted to run wifi tether, it would say that I wasn't root.
You can try downloading the Simple Root app from the development forum, Its only 4 clicks and its a legitimate full root. It does require the PC, but you seem to know how to use one of those as you got to this website.
Don't take shortcuts because your not sure what you're doing, learn

Thank you for the reply. I'll probably end up Simple Root for myself, but this is for a somewhat elderly friend of mine. He only needs root for wifi tether, since he can't get broadband where he lives (3g is okay). I figured the apk root method would be suitable for him since he would know how to uninstall it if he needed to claim is warranty or something. I won't be around to support his phone for him.
Anyway, thanks again. I'm still learning myself and appreciate the advice.
Ahh ok, he can always hit the wipe button and it will go back to a state good enough for the average sprint rep.
I Installed unrevoked 3by usb because i got last version 147.651.1. Its anyway to unroot and get back to stock rom. I tried different ways and nothing for example i wiped data, hard reset . etc.
Right now i dont have wifi is unable and that why i would like get back to stock. Also i use the method with htc sync and the ruu 132.651.1 andgive me error 171 then reintall the ruu give me error 140 and boot to the main screen/
Please any solution to get back to stock .
thanks in advanced,

Root my phone!!! HELP
Hi Guys
I've tried root and my cell phone, but it is not. I've tried almost everything I have .. First I tried to root using the terminal emulator''''by typing different commands ..
Also, I tried the program''Visionary''but when I pressed the application so that it was held to root, but then the screen goes black, and I had to press the home button to get out of the situation ..
Also tried I saw another app called ''Universal androot'' and when I pressed root, then came the''Failed! No ~~~~~~~~~ Fu goo ..'' I also tried''app ''superoneclick I pressed the root, also came the''error: protocol fault (no status)''
What should i suppose to do, to fix this problem.. please reply
how long did u wait before u get something up on the screen, when u used ''visionary'' app?
Thaaaanks!!!
Ever since I first rooted my Evo back in June or so, I havn't paid much attention to the instructions for rooting. Back then, I went through it using adb and a different RUU, etc. Now, with programs like Unrevoked, it seems like a much easier and faster process.
I'm thinking about taking my phone back to Sprint to get the speaker replaced. I know how to fully UN-root, but just wondering if when I get the phone back home, can I get full root again with nand unlocked just by using something like Unrevoked?
Like I said, I hadn't been paying much attention to rooting, and the last issue I really read about was when (froyo?) first came out and you had to root by using some Adobe program, which seemed like a bit of a hassle.
Unrevoked does it all.

Yea, you can. It couldn't be easier.
Unrevoked is so simple!!
Alright, thank you guys very much!
The reason I had asked was, I knew on the Moment, apps like the 1-click root method didnt fully root the phone, so some roms couldn't be flashed properly. Just wondering if that was the case for the Evo also.

Only thing with unrevoked:
1. download hboot drivers
2. install then uninstall htc sync
3. enable usb debugging on your phone
4. all set to go
Okay first off... I just joined this forum, intending to be a very nice member. I have absolutely no knowledge in android (though I've got Linux knowledge). When I joined I watched your very "kind" welcome video, holy moses I laughed at some points, but I knew the video was serious.. But haha!
Okay, now to the point:
I just bought my HTC One X, and I want to root it. I've used HTCDev to unlock it, and it worked without errors. When I go to the bootloader screen (volume down and power it on) it says it's unlocked.
Now... I want to do stuff like overclocking and such things that requires a so called "superuser" or "SuperSU". I tried a program that my friend suggested me that was called SetCPU (yes I know.. I got the apk from here, but if I like the application I'll buy it to support). When I opened it, it said:
Root access not detected
SetCPU could not obtain root access. Did you allow SetCPU through Superuser Permissions? If you checked Superuser Permissions and SetCPU still cannot get root, there may be a permissions issue with your ROM.
CPU specific features are in read-only mode, but system info and benchmarking features should work
I want to gain that superuser, but I have absolutely no idea how to obtain it. I've heard that the firmware and roots, and all that is different from every phone to phone. So for example a root on Nexus S won't work on HTC One X, maybe it can and will, but will it be supportive? Stuff like that questions me.
TL;DR - I want to get superuser on my HTC One X, how do I get it?
Thanks so far,
Morten.

I've got a question about a thread though, and I was hoping I could get it answered here.
In this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577671
I got to the step where it says "and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file." - I just don't know how to "flash the latest SuperSU zip file" - How do I do it?
Would this work, by any chance: blogotechblog.com/2012/03/how-to-root-htc-one-x-with-superboot/

Nope.

Yeah I installed supersu, but it says:
There is no Su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem.
So...yea.
Hi there, I have been looking everywhere on rooting my HTC desire A8181, mostly here with you guys, very helpful, took me 2 days to really get it done. This my first android, after losing my iphone, but can't say i'm disapointed as Apple are getting to tight now with the updates.
So... I have s-off, pvt2000, recovery is the 4ext, i'm running AOKP jellybean 4.2.2. I also tried the Cyanogenmod but found it was a bit slow so reverted back to AOKP, each time i have done a full wipe off everything.
SuperSu is installed i have ran the a2sd script via Terminal, went fine. and tapped build number 7 times.
My question is with the results in Root checker pro, i think i'm missing something, most of the results are good but its with the /sbin/su result being denied and system/bin/su aswell. i have made screenshoots to explain more.
This is my first ever post on something like this so, i hope i have given enough info, I have looked alot but can't find this particular problem anywhere else on the net. I am also thinking, theres nothing wrong, that i'm trying to much, i'm obsessive like this LOL.
Thanks in advance, hope you guys can explain whats going on here.

Download an app that requires root permission, install it and if SU pops up asking to grant superuser then all is fine. Never mind those useless root check apps. I once tried one, i was s-off, rooted, custom rom, custom hboot and the app said i wasnt rooted haha they a load of @#%# one will tell u ur rooted then the other will say ur not. all customs roms will (should) be rooted so dont worry
All's good!
