Easy rooting with 'Simple Root' (EVO 4G) - Also possible for Desire?

I am sorry if this should have been posted in general, but I think it has to do with development.
I just found some info about a program called 'Simple root', currently only for the Evo 4G. From what I have read it is a program to root your device with just a few clicks (so noob proof).
I wanted to notify you about this, first of all. Second, do you guys think it is possible to make something like this for the Desire? Or does the one for Evo also work for the Desire?
I am really a biiiiig NOOB regarding rooting etc, so this would be perfect for me. And I think a lot of other noobs would be happy as well.
Again, sorry if I did something wrong here (duplicate thread, wrong section, etc)
Kind Regards, Mark

that would be too awesome

Honestly, I'm sorry, but what's the point? The current methods are easy enough - if you can't (not saying you, just someone generally) can't follow those, I can see a few stupid threads coming up:

Yeah, it should be kept as elitist as possible. I think only people with 10 years coding experience and a self compiled version of their own linux kernal should be allowed to root their phones.
Seriously, come on. Making it friendly is not a bad idea. I know what I'm doing, and I'd still rather press 1 button over all other current options. It makes no difference because I had no trouble following rooting instructions from r1 up to r6. I just think simpler is better.

Dude, 1-click root is a better method than buying 3/4 sd cards to create a gold card. Whenever a better solution/design comes up, people leave the old stuff behind.

maybe not this pro but if someone is rooting a phone, that person should know a little bit about what he is doing. its not rocketscience, every body can learn it, but if we start making stupid-one-klick-iam-an-idiot-rooting than no one will try to learn it.....

i agree with last post but....
nowhere in development does it even explain what things like dalvik cache or kernels actually. i reckon alot of people here into flashing and tinkering with their phones are just following instructions. ie there's a difference between a qualified mechanic and someone that messes around under the bonnet at the weekend.
in terms of rooting i found this guide the most useful, it has all the files you need and has a VIDEO walkthrough. SIMPLE really SIMPLE. requires no linux, coding or anything.

XDA is a resource, a good resource is that, but it is not complete. Even Wikipedia is not complete, if you think about it.
Copying everything to one place will just cause redundant (and possibly outdated) information. Let the people who know what they're talking about, do so (i.e. Cyanogen).

I can't even tell if your misspelling of "kernel" is intentional.

So the current version is unfriendly? Another reason against making this process wholly autonomous is that you'd then have to waste someone else's time writing an application to fix the USB issues, because there's going to be people who got used to the easy of a giant button labelled "Click here to root" so now do not know what adb is.
Simplification can cause loss of information. Suppose the case comes around where the program crashes in a rare event, but the adb connection stays open. It's also far too cumbersome to catch every error, such as an invalid goldcard or the SD card being out of space. If the rooting process was a kernel exploit, this wouldn't be a problem. See below.

This is a completely different argument. You have assumed there is a 1-click rooting method available, which there isn't (yet). The only way your argument would hold is if there was a kernel exploit available currently that gave you root, but you only got it uncompiled and had to do the legwork yourself - which isn't the case. The actual argument was about converting the existing method to a few clicks as possible.

It's easy enough as is. We're not iPhone users after all, we don't need big shiny buttons to understand

this is true - but there are developers and there are consumers.
anything that represents 'progress' should be seriously looked at.
I think fake-flash is just one excellent example where something that wasn't especially complicated in the first has been made way simpler.....

Current method is easy enough. We need FULL root, easy way or not =)

Sure,but i think there are more important things to do than making a 1-click-root.

[info] Basic Informations about HOX, sense and the universe

Hy community,
I once was a newbie on XDA (and still am ^^), but with the time I understood more and more things, now I want to give back and condensate the Information I got to answer questions I see often in multiple threads.
there are more and more questions about sense and roms and SOFF and if your phone can control your mind if you take an image of a brain as your wallpaper...
So here is the
officially unofficial "Question's you better not ask"
thread.​
Feel free to add your 2 cents in the comments, I will try to keep this updated with your ideas
The goal of this thread is to inform the users, in order to avoid them asking those things and getting angry answers or blocking real dev work on threads.
Does this AOKP/CM9/AOSP Rom have sense ? :silly:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No ! It's like if you were asking if Linux has windows in it, if a Ferrari has a Dacia in it...
Explanation : Sense is a framework, it's like wrapped over the android OS. AOKP/AOSP/CM9 based roms are free of this framework and based on the original google android source code.
In the same idea, a sense rom doesn't contain CM9, but you can make it look like with themes or a "de-sensing".
For this exact reason, you need to wipe your phone before installing a non-sense rom over a sense one (or the other side) (even if you should wipe when going from one rom to another, sense or not.
Does this AOKP/CM9/AOSP rom contain the sense cam
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, It has to do with what is written in the first explanation.
Explanation : Most sense apps and widgets are linked to the sense framework, some more, some less, making it theoretically possible to port those apps to a fully sense framework free environement. However, the camera is solidely attached to the framework, it may be possible, but don't hope for it soon
Can I flash the boot.img from "rom A" on "rom B" ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And still the answer is : NO ! you will end in a bootloop.
Explanation : The Boot.img contains many stuff like kernel, ramdisk... and this ramdisk is different for most of the rom's and a boot.img will only fully work with an adequate ramdisk.
However, you can repack the kernell with the zImage tool which is to be found in the forums.
Can I flash the modules of Kernel A while using Kernel B ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get used to it: no...
A specific module is for a specific Kernel. The end.
What is a RUU ?

Cheers

It's obvious you've spend 'a lot' of time with the intro of this thread.
But all you write is old news as all is written already, 'instructions enough'.
To my opinion this thread won't help anybody because people who don't like to read won't read anyway,
so this thread is another clutter, nothing more to my opinion as it don't bring anything new.
Mods please close?
Thanks!

When I started on XDA I was searching for a recap like this, people not wanting to read throught hundreds of pages of a well-filled thread is not meaning they won't read a recapitulative thread...
Is a post trying to help others such a pain for you ? If this can help one person and avoid a single useless post on a single thread I will be more than happy.
I hope you can revise your judgment...

You just created a extra thread, nope I won't revise my statement.
Probably you have good intensions, but to my opinion this thread is clutter and a waist.

I agree. This is the strangest forum I've participated in on XDA. Here's some personality categories I’ve observed.
* Narcissist’s - in spite of a topic or point being posted multiple times in an already open thread, people feel that they're experiencing of an issue is somehow more important than anyone/everyone else's. They have no problem starting a new thread saying "I know this has been posted before, but..." Hint: before you post, ask yourself are you posting for the benefit of others or for yourself?
* Newbies with Attitudes - Not picking on this user in particular but this is an excellent example.
RADLOUNI said:
I am totally furious about the fact that HTC released an ICS phone with a GB kernel. Sorry if it sounds negative but this is plain deception, and disrespect to its base of customers. Other vendors without mentioning the name has released their phone with a decent ICS kernel.

Not only is it naive, it's wrong. Had it been posted as a question "what's the difference between the 2.X and 3.X kernel?" the poster would have realized s/he's uninformed. Hint: instead of coming out with both guns blazing, ask a question rather than making a statement if you're not sure about what you're talking about.
* Martyrs - Yes, the One X has launch issues. More than it should. They're all well known by now. Similar to the narcissists, the martyrs relish reiterating the same complaints amongst themselves in page after page in a thread. Hint: No one here can help you. Rather than ***** pointlessly figure out how to get your problem resolved. I'm not having any problems but it took me all of five minutes to find the two most senior HTC execs in Europe that oversee customer service so those with issues could have someone to write to and seek help. Hint: Don't just post "*****es," post potential remedies.
There are other personality categories unique to the One X forum but you get my point. I love my One X but sure wish it came with SGS3 forum.

A RUU is the full ROM installation utility from HTC, using it will fully reset your phone to the same state when you bought it (only thing it won't change is the fact your phone is locked/unlocked if I remember well), can't tell you what it wouldb be in Samsung-land ut probably samsungs Odin flashable base rom.
Hope I could help

Sweet. :cyclops: ^^
Hopefully when this thread has 56 pages people still bother to find the time to have a search about the answers.
And remember if you just search the word >> 'RUU'...... (top right corner of XDA )
But your time and effort is much appriciated I ques.
Time for me to live this thread it's own live and 'unscribe' as I'm getting nuts of the notifications already.

One you replied and disappointed by a very old post.
Two if you search you will find the root method right here that works on all versions, we don't like to spoon feed , when you have problem or stuck many will help, you ask how to do something that has been asked 100 times and already available, well you asked for it.
Three learn how to ask help, simply writing can someone point me to the root post will make many to post, instead of you writing all this useless crap.
Four simple looking not even searching will made you see these...

I did that because you pointed towards kimitza, now he might not be correct all the time, his answers might be rude, but he is the one answering most of the queries here, plus don't know how many private messages he might be getting.
Think this way, if i talk about me, I'm here for 4 years answering same type of questions for different devices all those years, and i usually jump in the post if some one didn't replied for some time, instead some people will post to every question when they see it, they are bound to get agitated over time.

[Q]any tutorial vids?

Has anyone found any tutorial videos on how to root, install custom recovery(TWRP looks tough to be entirely honest) and custom roms?
It always boosts my confidence to see someone successfully installing custom things.
Also I have never used LG products and have no idea how to do basic things such as getting in recovery etc. I have experience with samsung phones but nothing other than this:/ Would anyone be kind enough to redirect me or make some tutorial videos:$?
Kind regards

There are highly detailed and step-by-step guides on how to do it on the board. You know they work by people saying that it did and the lack of threads freaking out that their device is thrashed. Please be thankful for what you've got and just read what we put together.

Wow. I do not understand your negativity, this would only help newer users like me and keep people like you having less to critisize. As for the detailed guides which you mention either I have not stumbled across them(in which case you could point out but you dont seem to want to help from your initial responce) or we have a different understanding of detailed step by step guides.
Either way if you do not want to help I suggest not responding and being thankful that you have the option to cary on with your schedule, reading what you feel is more important.

If you learn it yourself and learn the ins and outs, it'll benefit you greatly when something inevitably goes wrong and you can figure it out yourself instead of relying heavily on others. As you move step by step in the guides, if something doesn't make sense to you, just Google it. It's not hard when you get used to doing it. Not trying to be mean or rude, but if you don't want to help yourself, we can't help you.

i will give him one thing though there is a pretty vital command missing in the twrp thread to get it to execute, or at least from how I did it on every other device

here is a link to a video on how to access recovery via the 3 button method.
I recorded it with my phone so I am sorry/not sorry about the quality but it gets the job done.
also i can relate with you on wanting to see it visually, even as somebody who knows what they are doing, especially things involving button combo's I have a harder time reading than if i just saw a 30 second video on how to do it.

as for the recovery flash that's a little more involved and i already have my device rooted so if i did it, it would be from CM, and i'm not entirely sure if that would cause a problem (i don't think so though because loki is cool like that)

Dude get over it you seem to have far too much time on your hands.
I didnt ask for anyone to make videos i asked if anyone knew of any videos. Since you didnt want to help or still dont get off the bloody topic. There is no point of doing what you did. If you wonna be arrogant im sure you have friends and family for that. Im fed up with your negativity. If you didnt want to be rude you could of just said im sorry i dont like sharing or helping noobs and moved on.
Thank you for annoying me 2day I wish you well. And when you get stuck on something and require other peoples help on a FORUM They all redirect you to google so you understand what a joke your responce is.
Ps didnt mean to be rude. But if you didnt know the meaning of a forum now you do.

I will repeat again.i did not ask for anyone to go out of their way and make videos i asked if anyone found videos. That by no means says i am not greatful for the small and perfect video you made. Rooting seems to be very easy its the recovery that I am having doubts about cause it seems to be a lengthy procedure. And requires what seems to be a ton of commands

[Q] Any news on an update to the Snapdragon Note 10.1?

Samsung has been really lazy with their updates recently. While they did manage to update the SM-P600 Note, they forgot about all other ones.
Is it really that hard to make the update, considering it already exists on the Snapdragon Note 3 and Note Pro, which have nearly identical internals?

Is it really that hard to post it in the right section? At the moment there is nearly everyday a new thread which asks when kitkat will be available...
You have to be patient.

Thank you. No one knew beforehand that the Colombian Wi-Fi version would be the first to get updated nor that the U.S. would follow. So it's safe to assume no one here knows when the 3G and LTE versions are getting updated nor which regions are going to receive it in which order. You'd assume if they did they'd post it without having to be asked. And if someone did post a date they'd be attacked unless they provided some sort of proof backing up their comments. Samsung's updates don't follow any set pattern so the past won't predict the future either. More 4.4 updates will be deployed when they're deployed.

Good God ,,I have never heard so much crying about a update before in my life...Then when they install it..they will be crying again about the bugs..Lol.

And people like me that say what is the point? No apparent battery savings (perhaps opposite) and sd card write restrictions are key reasons to avoid it. SD card issue is reason enough for me.
After making a few tweaks, I am content with the device as it is. No need to rock the boat and also lose sd card write permissions.

I don't quite understand why you have quoted me, I just wanted to say that people should use the search function before creating new useless (already discussed) threads.
I can understand you that you are not willing to take the update because it brings problems with it.
But the OP did not took his time to read a few threads or use the search function which should be priority no.1 before opening a thread. And this happens like everyday.
But here is the quick little research the OP should have done:
Looks Like P605 KitKat Is Almost Here
Where is Kitkat for SM-P605?
LTE version will receive 4.4?
I am going to report this thread because we all have enough device specific KitKat Update threads.

I was adding to your point. Not dinging.

I am going to go ahead and close this here... other threads already covee this question, and this one seems like fighting for the most part. Everyone, please remember to search before posting, and to always act civil....
