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.
So, is there a root method yet for Android 4.4 Sense 5.5 on the Verizon HTC One or do we have to wait for an exploit?

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.

Did they find a way to unlock it and use TWRP? I know what you mean because normally that's the case unless there is a work around. In really hoping this will happen for all models of the G3.

They're working on a universal root first. I could be wrong, but I expect the release this weekend will be TWRP for the T-Mobile variant.

you "gathered" wrong..
dev's usually release things when they get them working perfectly, and have a safe way for N00bs to install things without immediately bricking their precious devices.
"Universal" bootloader tool is a pipe dream so dont hold your breath waiting for that
Rumors are just that; rumors, so when your phone's bootloader gets unlocked, you will surely know for sure; until then, its all just SWAG..

Are you one of the devs working on bootloader unlocks...? Because the ones i know definitely are seem to disagree with what you are saying, despite what devs 'usually' do.
From what i see here, it is universal root and universal unlock they are looking to achieve.

They are looking for a universal root for all the variants.
They are also trying to unlock all the variants.
They think that unlocking one variant might allow the unlocking of other variants, but not necessarily all variants.
They are not looking for a 'universal' unlock in the same way that they are looking for a 'universal' root.
I used the Korean version cwm recovery . it works.

T-Mobile is the only one with the bootloader unlocked so they have full access to using recovery and roms, I don't know if other variants are using a recovery yet since I am a vs985 (verizon) user I don't watch them closely
For vs985 we can't get into fastboot mode because verizon decided to remove or disable it, so we can't use tethered recovery (temporarily booting the recovery from adb shell)
I can tell you that Recovery's aren't hard to make at all. its just we don't have a way to use them right now &
Roms will quickly follow after Recovery's are able to be flashed

Any personal thoughts /guesses about how long will it take?
I'm really excited about it , because when I bought my g3 I left my note 2 for experiments, and hell isn't the name for what my oldie note went through.
My point is that I finally learned how to install custom EVERYTHING. from kernel to build.prop,and my hands are itchy to do the same on my g3
Unfortunately and until the bootloader is unlocked, we have to patiently wait for our great devs to unlock this retarded bootloader. It may take a couple of days, it may take a month, it may never happen. We just have to wait. Oh, and friendly advice: never ask for an ETA on xda

be patient, the devs don't like to get stressed and the whole xda drama about unlock.
jcase already said he is able to run custom images but time is the problem to release it. when everyone is stressing them, they will lose interest to unlock under pressure.

Sounds good in theory, but FlashFire will ask for root privileges to do it's work. Thus you will need root to run FlashFire.

Ok. Thanks. Once I've rooted I can then just flash fire the ROM without the need to unlock the bootloader?
Maybe, try it and let us know. I wouldn't do it on a model that didn't have a KDZ available though.

Many of the H815 have bootloader unlock available now, so some development should appear soon. I'm concerned that the two Nexus phones and possible G4 pro being released will cause people to forget about the G4.
Not many just some and with loss of warranty its hard to just unlock. Even exynos phones see more development than this. If LG can remove loss of warranty probably it will jumpstart the development as more people will not be scared of losing their warranty. They also need to release a unlocked bootloader for all variants. Even rooting is a nightmare when looking at the steps needed
