It's been a while since I've visited this forum. As an ex G1 owner and since September a DHD owner, I'm a little somewhat out of the game.
I successfully rooted my G1 basically just to get the phone to function and have not rooted the DHD as of yet, as its met my needs well ( upto now ).
I've searched and searched for info on rooting and am gutted to learn I can't use a one click method as the phone is nand locked.
I'm hoping to put his out to you guys, not for the easiest option, but as I'm very rusty with whole rooting thing, I'm hoping you can advise me on which you think is the safest, most stable and worthwhile.
Also, is there any difference in root options as per where you reside ( I.e. UK, US ) as to which downloads needed to root?
Thanks for any help guys

this is that you should to do for obtain superuser permission (root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
visionary Rxx its the most secure option to root your device,, it´s a "one click" tool and works with 1.32xxx versions of official firmwares..
if you have an upper version, browse "how to downgrade" in the bar of above
if you have android 2.3.3 via OTA, browse about "gingerbreak"
cheeerssss
Thanks man, so it doesn't matter which tool I use for a UK phone?
Downgrading shouldn't be a problem, its just obtaining the right files I guess. Thanks again

Correct. But if you have problems with one method try the other. For example, try the one click methods first but if you get stuck try the full command line style methods.
Ok, my personal preference would be to follow the long hand method as detailed on the cyanogenmod wiki. Reasons being that using visionary is unnecessary so why do it ,secondly if you do it long hand and it fails, unlikely as that is you'll know where and hopefully why, thirdly I like the geek factor off doing it the awkward way. This will work fine on a UK DHD as it's how miner was rooted.

My phone is on a t mobile contract, but doesn't have any branding on the phone itself or the screen on boot up. Am I right in thinking I can bypass the goldcard part for rooting?

The method posted by OriginalGabriel is the way to go. Trust me. I did it and was smooth as butter. I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep since I have heard of NO bricks from the easy root method. I think people see "Visionary" and get scared. It's perfectly safe for temprooting but a VERY bad idea for perm-root. The Gfree method is used for that... all you will be doing is running the scripts for Gfree instead of keying them in manually. No ADB, no hassle, much less room for error. Once you are rooted, get rid of Visionary and enjoy.

Naw, I agree with Pirateghost. Jargon exists for a reason. If one does not use the proper terminology, its hard to know what they are talking about. For instance, sometimes people ask "How do I unlock my phone?". Its impossible to know whether they are asking how to root, or how to unlock the SIM.

People coming over from the iPhone world may not know what all is going on here, so it is important to not confuse terminology. exactly like redpoint73 said, how do we know if they mean UNLOCK or ROOT or ROM?? do you know? if you do, then by all means help the guy out, i would prefer to not get the terminology muddled with inconsistencies.

I think a lot of your information is outdated, for example Visionary is extremely outdated for most of the firmwares that's out now. The method outlined in the XDA Wiki as well as the Cyanogenmod Wiki is proven to work without fail (with the assumption that the end user actually follows the instructions to the letter).
The one click method tends to have problems and ends up in here for help, and far as hearing about it, normally hear complaints about their phone being bricked and how to fix it, they don't go into details exactly on "how" they bricked it, just that they whine and whine to unbrick it.
PS: I wish there was a way to remove an accidental thanks.
Well true there are some bad one click softs out there thats why i recommended what i have tried without problems........the fact that some are bad does not make dem all bad if only we bring up those that have bricked phones and those that helped cos not anybody has it easy with the XDA method by the way i recommend what i have tried so trust me what will i get by bricking someones phone (same module and and it worked)

But of course with lack of information (ie: what phone did you have, what firmware was it at, was it originally Froyo, etc?), people attempting to do the same tends to cause problems.
Though in my opinion, if you can't handle the method outlined in the XDA wiki (which will work with any version of the phone, including instructions for making a gold card), then it's probably not the best idea to even attempt having a rooted phone.

Is there any news regarding this? I know with the recent HTCdev lockdown, unlock is not possible, but it sounds like root is easily achievable.
I really only need to root. I don't really use any of the features that unlock would give me. Heck, the only root function I use is Titanium backup. I get free tethering (share everything) and always stick with the stock ROM.
Is anybody actually working toward a root only solution? Or is all the effort directed to a s-off unlock solution?
Same. I want to know as well. This guy seems like if it's such a cakewalk he should do it but as long as someone can figure it out I will be happy

Bootloader unlock is sufficient for flashing ROMs and rooting. S-Off is kinda superfluous.

I honestly think if its THAT much of a cakewalk he should just be able to do it, or to basically hand it to a dev (which he kind of said he did) instead of hinting at all this and doing nothing.
But it's not my place, so hopefully someone DID get the info and will have it unlocked asap
Yeah but better he hint to tip someone off then say nothing at all you know... Plus he like all the rest of us has a life outside of xda and I'm sure he has good reasons... I mean he has already done so much for many devices

I thought you couldn't write to /system while booted unless you were S-Off. Has that changed? When the DNA was unlocked we weren't able to do so until Beaups (I think) found a workaround with the kernel.
Also, JCase, in a previous tweet, said his PREVIOUS exploit still worked on the Verizon One. I haven't searched, but maybe it's already been released?
I'm at work so I can't look up the specific tweet for you guys.
He said he already passed the root exploit on

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

I am sorry you felt I was ridiculing you. That was not my intent at all. THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..
