hi, i used a temp unroot app so i could use another app, i have removed the unroot app and now i dont have root, i reinstalled the app to try and regain root but to no avail, is there anyway to gain root again without using ADB (or whatever its called)?
thanks

I'm not so sure you can, mainly because as part of the rooting process you need to push some system files. If it's not rooted, a solution like root explorer or some su-enabled file browser obviously won't work...
I've only had mine for a couple days so I'm no expert though
Not possible I think. Whatever you do don't even try visionary perm root. Temp root is okay though.

I recommend you use the method in the Wiki (which does use rage, along with gfree). It's the most up-to-date and safest (i.e. least chance of brick/semi-brick) method.

I have a question. For the GFree method, do I need to temproot via Visionary first? Or can I just use gFree directly from stock?

You needto run gfree as root, so temp root is required as a minimum. Whether you get that from Visionary or rage is up to you.

Power the phone off and press the power button and down on the voulme button at the same time. Wait till it gets you to the recovery? And you'll see at the top if it S-on your not permarooted. If it says S-off you are.

search "blackprince how to root your G2" on youtube. Follow everything the dude does in the video and you should be good to go. That's what I followed, and I got s-off, but not gfree. I did it the first try withing half an hour. Good luck, sir.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
That blackprince video is using an old method though. The most up-to-date method, and far safer, is the gfree method described in the Wiki - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29
If you already have used that video to root the phone, you should still use gfree to get full radio S-OFF, because it has more options from getting out of bad situations - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF
What is temproot and what does it do?

Before I updated my Desire to official Gingerbread 2.3.3, I had used Visionary+ to temp root my phone. It doesn't work with Gingerbread and also looks like the app has come to end of life.
I tried searching the forum and Google, found many solutions but only to perm root.
I don't want to downgrade or change any ROM or do perm root. I'm looking for temp root only, like with Visionary+. I install it in my phone click temp root and done.
If anyone knows about this app, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much.
Gingerbread closes the exploit visionary+ used for temp root. As far as I am aware, there is no temp root app yet. Can I ask why you don't want perm root?

I only want root, nothing else. No different ROM or loader or other fancy stuff.
I don't think I can say give me perm root like visionary+ temp root but don't change any stuff in my phone. I sincerely hope I'm wrong here.
You can go perm root and still use your stock rom.. You don't have to change that if you don't want to.

Oh! I can. I tried unrevoked but it only talks about custom ROM. Am I misinterpreting something? Please advise.
Unrevoked doesn't work on GB. You have to use revolutionary.
Yes it opens the door for custom Roms, but you don't have to.

The FAQ in unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary says:
Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.
So this means I don't need revolutionary for rooting?
How to flash that file from recovery?
You need first revolutionary, then recovery then you can flash zip. You need s-off first provided by revolutionary to get root. You can't get it without it

OK. I'll read more and try. Thank you all for the help so far.
I found this guide, http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html and followed it. My phone is rooted now. Thanks guys.
Good job!
i have dhd with s-off
rom ver is 3.12 with sence 3.0
i want to root my device but DONOT want any custom recovery on my device ..
Why do you want root access without cm recovery?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well if you already have S-off what do you mean by that you want to root your phone? Isn't is already rooted? Also Clockworkmod recovery is used to have root access so that we can flash Custom ROMs, if you don't want any custom ROM why at the first instant you want to root your device?
i do not want to use cm recovery or any option it offers so why to flash that area ...
just need root access over system for using softwares that require root access ..

If you have S-OFF then you probably should have root. Then you can overite system files!
no root is not there ....
even via adb commands root access is missing
Then how did you get S-OFF?

resulting in s off , root ,and cm recovery
then flashing htc ruu
now have s -off and just want to root with out adding new recovery

Hello All,
I'm looking for a way to temporary root my Android Desire Z ... What should I need to know at first, and what is the tools that I should use. Also, how can I unroot the phone after that ... Thanks.
Assuming you are on gingerbread, run the 'Gaining Temp-root' and 'Temp-rooting to backup' from this guide
To undo it, just reboot the phone.

use visionary, then be unhappy when you are holding a brick
im just kidding, dont temp root - full root. there few good reasons not too, amd you can always unroot your phone.
anyway why do you need temp root? something specific i gather?
