Is it possible to Root the Dinc 3? If not yet can one reasonably expect a solution anytime soon or has Verizon found a way to cripple this (for me at least) mission critical modification>
Thanks
It hasn't been rooted..im sure if/when it's released, probably q1 or q2 of 2012 someone will end up finding out how to root it.

Could I get a link to the Inc3? The Inc 2 just came out...
Oh maybe you meant the Moto Droid 3. wrong forum bud.
HTC announced in May that they will no longer be locking their boot loaders so when and if a dinc 3 does come out it shouldn't be a problem.

Rooting has nothing to do with the bootloader. Besides that, OP is completely oblivious to what he's even talking about.

Unlocked bootloader = Root. Once u unlock the bootloader you can put whatever you want onto your phone, i.e. clockwork mod and rooted roms.

Unlocked bootloader does NOT equal root
I.E Moto phones with locked bootloaders that can be rooted.

If u unlock the bootloader you can almost guarantee root, because you can flash whatever you want. Therefore unlocked bootloader = root...
You are right though, root does not = unlocked bootloader.

Unlocked bootloader is so you can put custom recovery and flash images. Root is having su permissions in Android OS.

I know this...my point is that getting root after HTC unlocks the bootloader will be as easy as flashing a custom recovery and a rom with su. There shouldn't be any need to find exploits to gain root.
Ex.
Fastboot oem unlock
Flash clockwork from bootloader
Wipe and flash custom Rom of choice.

Aren't the only devices that can be "fastboot OEM unlock"ed developer devices like the nexus and xoom? I know that other devices that don't have encrypted bootloaders can usually be rooted easily but I thought it was still more of a process than a simple ADB command.

If HTC really allows people to unlock their device, that might be one possible method they use. Personally I think they will try and find someway to permanently mark the bootloaders are unlocked so they can make sure the carriers can void warrenties (Much like the Nexus One had a picture of a lock to show if you unlocked your bootloader). I'm sure everyone read it but here's HTC's latest status update. http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-bootloaders/10150305151453084
It'll be interesting to see what they do. Realistically, they could just leak the unlockable bootloaders and the good folks here on xda would take care of the rest..
It would be disappointing to me if they included some sort of warranty voiding measure as I don't see why the warranty wouldn't still apply to the hardware.
I know this question has been answered hundreds of times but I can't figure this out on my own. I used the stickies above and it still wont work
I went to flash MMuzy Rom and i flashed the ToroPlus instead of Toro and my Clockwork mod deleted my back up.
ADB Wont push to my phone for some reason either, a list of prompts comes up in the CMD promp.
Please please help
Thanks
did you wipe before flashing the rom?
syntax for adb
adb push c:\locationoffile\file.zip \sdcard\
Yes I did and i used that and nothing, I am trying to use the GNEX Tool but it is stuck on Waiting for Device

I heard that if you enter "up up down down left right left right b a start select" into the toolkit it gives your phone infinite RAM.

I used the Gnex tool and restored with fast boot.

People have been asking almost everyday for an unlock method in the Galaxy S4 forums for about 9 months now with no luck so unfortunately asking doesn't seem to get any better results
I don't know why but after I upgraded (OTA) to 4.4 my phone is now unlocked and S-Off. My contract was up a week earlier and I called regarding an unlock token but was told I needed to have a third party do it. Totally contrary to the Agreement the 4 majors had with the gov't in December over unlocking phones when contracts were up. So I'm just hanging out waiting for one of the resident masters to figure out a root.

If you're unlocked and s-off all you need to do is flash a recovery like TWRP and then flash a prerooted rom (most are pre rooted). It's the getting S-off part that many are still waiting to get figured out. You're free to flash away.

I'd be up for someone creating a general Q&A for this phone. It would have helped me quite a bit when I was just starting. I know enough to get one started but I'd feel better if I could get more experienced people contributing to it.
Can I just root without flashing for now

Ya, I think you can just flash a superuser.zip in recovery (you will need to flash a recovery first. Either TWRP or CWM...I prefer TWRP). It's been awhile, but I know it's not hard. There used to be a little tutorial in OP of the Rumrunner thread on how to gain root but I'm not sure if it's there anymore.

What did you change to get thethering to work? You can lock your bootloader but it's generally not a good idea of you have issues in the future.

Hello,
Any help would be appreciated. I'm not extremely comfortable yet with rooting, and as such, would love if someone could point me in the right direction to a proper tutorial on how to root my Pixel XL. I purchased it from Google directly, which has an unlocked bootloader. It is the N2G47E Build Number, and I OTA updated it to 7.1.2. I have a Windows PC on Windows 10 64 Professional, original cables, etc.
Thanks so much for any help, and I'm hoping this is possible.

I would like to block ads everywhere. That's a big one. I have used adaway in the past and liked it. I also like to learn the process. I've been jailbreaking iphones/ipods/ipads for years and am interested in learning more about rooting as it interests me. I also want to have more control over functions of the phone, and there have been a few apps and such that I liked in the past that I felt enhanced my phone (it was a galaxy s6).

Brother, I don't need you to lay out anything for me. I've been rooting since the OG Droid A855. That was probably when you were in grade school. I like a faster phone, better battery life, no ads, and endless customization. That's why I root. You want stock? Buy an iCrap.

Brother? Yikes, I hope not. The question of why root was not directed at you so I'm not sure why you answered. The OP had already answered it. I don't care what you have done in the slightest. Your assumption of your maturity level due to your age leaves much to be desired as well.
There are many reasons not to root, I'll say it again. So if you don't know the reasons you might not know as much as you think you do. Don't make me lay it out for you. If you take a few minutes you will find a lot of others that used to root but find no need to any longer. The iPhone discussion has nothing to do with this neither does your denigration of a very capable phone. Where that came from we can only imagine. Oh yeah, age.

"path/to/" is where the files are located!
I create a folder at the root of c called "adb". go inside that folder and shift right click. that will give the option to open command prompt from that folder. then your adb commands are already in the correct folder so it would be adb fastboot twrp.img (if you renamed the img to twrp)
