Hi,
I am new to android and just received a hand me down phone from my brother.
There are problems when I am filling a text field therefore I cannot log in to any apps. Is there a solution for this or do I really need to root this phone?
If I have to root this, can someone help me? The easiest way possible?
I am not sure how to do this since most of the instructions are foreign to me and cannot understand a thing.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you and have a nice day ahead
If you bothered to search XDA...

Hi,
I see the Evo has a simple root process with a program now ( XDA News on main page ), just wondered if anyone is working on a similar program for the Desire as i'm a bit nervous of rooting my phone with the current method, thanks.
There really is nothing to be nervous about! There used to be problems with older methods, but the new method now is virtually foolproof.
Give it a try and if you get stuck or panic then post here for help.
Simple things to remember are follow the steps in whatever guide you use, and let the process finish, be patient as sometimes things look like they are stuck, but they are not!
There is virtually no risk in rooting the Desire now.

Hi.
A very good Tutorial with Videos is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Take a look and remember to read it all before starting.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask them here. I'll try to answer as much as I can, but other members can help too.
I used the thread mentioned above when I came to root my HTC, everything worked perfectly.
Step-by-step instructions.. can't really go wrong
I know, I know, I know...
I am a member of a few different forums for other things and there is always a neb that comes on and asks a question that has been beat to death.
I have heard that God kills a kitten ever time someone post a thread before doing a search on what you are trying to get answered. So for my sake, God's sake and that poor kitten sake, I did read through a lot of post before I had the sack to post this question
I am posting this question because there seems to be a lot of different answers to a lot of different questions, so, I was hoping for very direct answers to these questions that I know have been asked plenty of times...
Here it goes...
I have purchased the HTE EVO w/ android 2.2 and I have had it for about 2 weeks.
I want to root my phone, which is my first ever smart phone.
This is what I would like to happen...
1) I want to be able to have the restore point so that I can flash my phone back to stock so that if something happens the warranty will still be good.
* Does this save on my home pc or sdcard? Or Both?
I have read that you need to download here not there(ruu...clockworks/rom manager)...no here not there...If you download anything but this you will not be able to get it back to the stock setting and Sprint will know you have rooted the phone...The whole thing started to get a little confusing.
I am a very simple person so I am hoping for a very simple answer, if there is one.
1) How do I root my HTC EVO that has the android 2.2?
2) How do I make sure that I can have a recovery point incase I mess it up (brick, etc...)
3) How do I make sure that I can flash my phone back to the original settings just incase I have to send it in to be fixed for some reason, which rom manager lets me do this?
4) Is it legal to do this?
5) What might be the biggest no-no to do before, during and after you root your phone?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
Visit the wiki, that should answer most of your answers.
1. Rooting voids warranty
2. Always perform a nand backup if you want to revert to your previous state.
Visit the wiki, the instructions are simple.
EDIT: Actually the wiki will answer all of your answers.

Sorry for the silly ? But what is the wiki?
It is a sticky in Android Development called Evo Wiki. You have to put effort in searching, I believe in you!

I need help PLEASE!!!! I just got my EVO on 11/18/10 and nothing works
(think its operator era ME! not even unrevoked3 and that's suppose to be simple if you can help me root my phone i got some lunch money for you
thanks for any thing you can do!
Goddamit don't try to root new evos wih unrevoked or you could be bricked for eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it could be impossible for you to root because you ran unrevoked, but might as well give it a try. Gtalk, email, and Im are all [email protected] and like I said earlier, rooting evos seems to be my job.
Ok...
I am a new b at this. How can I get my evo rooted?
I noticed not to use unrevoked, but that is the only thing out there when I do a search.
Can someone please point me to the right dirction. some idiot proof instructions, videos, etc...
Thank you in advance.

DO NOT RUN UNREVOKED OR YUO COULD PERMANENTLY CORRUPT YOUR PHONE!!!!! at the moment, there is no brainless way of doing it. you need to manually set up the adb and usb drivers, and then do some coding work, along with downloading like 1/3 gig of files.
Please Please someone help me! First off, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum but i figured it would be the best place to get help. I just got an EVO a couple of weeks ago (came from an iPhone 4). I understand that root is almost like jailbreaking. I'm trying to update my phone with a new rom but evidently it can't be done without being rooted. I've searched and searched to be able to find a way to root the new sprint update 3.70.651.1 but i just cant find it! can some one PLEASE HELP! I've tried unrevoked 3 but to no luck...

The best place to get help is in the correct forum. There are lots of grumpy people here who would take the time to bust on you for posting in the wrong section, tell you to use the search button or post a link to lmgtfy.com.
Fortunately I'm still noob enough not to do that. Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and see if that helps you.
This one is also a good one to try:

You gots to know what you are doing. Read thoroughly!
i would for sure use the one suggested by atapia984. it is a little harder, but it is a lot less risky in the long run. also, rooting is not too much like jailbreaking, mostly because you can do everything you can with a jailbroken iphone on an evo without any hacking at all. rooting lets you actually replace the phone's system (and other partitions) with custom roms made by the talented devs here at the xda. you also have total control over hardware of the phone. if you are really stuck on the root tutorial, i might be able to help you out, or even give you a walkthrough if you are too afraid of nuking your precious evo.
Hello. I'm very new here, and I have a problem, and I'm desperate.
I rooted and unlocked my HTC One (M8) on Sunday. The reason? I wanted one stupid boot animation, that's all I wanted. I had no idea what "rooting" it and all that did, all I knew is that I had to do it to get my own animation. Not to say I didn't do my research. I searched lots and lots, reading a lot of articles and everything.
Now, it's rooted and unlocked, using SuperSU and TWRP (I think that's the right info, like I said I'm new to this). I've been trying for two days now to get that stupid animation to work, but to no avail. I've looked at it all.
Now here's my actual problem. Now knowing that I won't get the animation to work (I'm done with trying) I started to panic. I started realizing my warranty is gone, and that I'm dead if anything happens to it. I don't want that. I need it. I need help. It's lame, but I'm scared.
So my question is, is there any way to unroot and lock it? I just want everything back to stock. I want it how I got it. Please help. If there isn't a way, I guess I'll learn from my mistakes. But if there is a way, please help me out. I beg of you. I'd be more than willing to answer questions if you have any pertaining to my problem. Yes, I know I shouldn't have done all this, especially since I have no knowledge of it, but that all doesn't matter now. It's done and I need help. Step by step would be optimal, as, again, I'm new to all of this and don't really understand any of it.
Edit: Not sure if it's vital information, but I used the Sakitech step by step guide on how to root the HTC One (M8). I can't post the link, but it's the first video when you YouTube how to root it.

First start in the right place. This forum is is for a completely different device where we likely have no experience.
Then search for the correct guide there or Google, read it several times before attempting anything again.
Remember that many people were in your position, starting from scratch with no prior experience. If you need to open a new thread to clarify things you don't understand that's ok. But there's not much point in other people copy pasting steps that are already laid out in a guide....
