Unrevoked Root works great, I honestly thing it's the best actual usermode root available atm.
I'm looking to be able to mount the filesystem like the rooted roms allowed in recovery mode, can this be done?
Basically, I'm looking for a solution to make changes to NAND without using an entire custom ROM.
please search, and post in a relevant thread. i don't mean to sound like a jerk, but there are already several threads about these topics, and the more threads that end up getting made, the more cluttered this place is going to be.
and, if you are looking for help, post in q&a, not in the dev section
How is it better than toast's method that you don't have to re-do on every boot?

You can use the new OTA update, which fixes the SD card bug, with it.
You can still downgrade to the stock image and use toast's image, if need be.

There are many threads, but none about this specifically.
I doubt this is even available and felt the need to make a thread dedicated to something of such importance.

Unrevoked is actually quite well refined, and does not require being reapplied after each boot. I am much more satisfied considering I can do this after the update AND all of Market is available with 4G access.
Both rooted ROMs have one loss, either Market or 4G...this does not.
I stand corrected...there was a thread that was buried over all the ruckus.

I had a problem with the Camera. open task manager, kill any app you think might be using the camera (qik, camera, anything).
Open the camera again. it should work and i never had this problem again.

It doesn't work and at this point in time it looks like it will never work.
The latest software prevents unrevoked from running, you have to flash a ROM to get root.
BTW...WHY DID YOU BRING BACK A DEAD THREAD!?

Quoted from unrevoked tweet "We do have stuff in the works for the EVO with the Sprint OTA applied, as well as the Incredible. As usual, no ETA, but stay tuned. 3:00 AM Jul 4th via web"
Sorry for the novice question. About to get a 4th replacement G2X. Last weekend I spent a huge amount of time reconfiguring number 3. I have Launcherpro and backed it up to the SD card but the new phone would not restore.
Is there an easy way to backup all the apps and settings?
Titanium Backup Pro.

That requires a root, right?
Yes it does.
Yup. If you need to know how to root, check out my signature. Click the link that says "Rooted" and it'll take you to where you can root. The Superoneclick method mentioned elsewhere on the site won't work for G2x above 2.2. So just follow my link and you'll be good to go. And be sure to thank the OP that made the thread.
Thanks.
New (4th replacement) arrived and it won't read the SIM card.
If you have to flash a rooted rom to root, you loose your configuration. So, going from stock to rooted rom you are going to have to reconfigure. Right?

You don't have to flash a rooted rom to get root anymore. There is a root zip available.

Where? On XDA? A single Zip that roots the phone? Must have missed that or I am misunderstanding something.
See here for rooting, be sure to give a thanks to the OP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214

It's been a while since I looked at that thread. Not sure I will ever need it, but is nice to know it's there. I hit up phburks with a thanks. I gave jboxer an accidental thanks when tried to hit quote yesterday, so I am good there. They need to separate those buttons. I am sure that's how I received a few of my thanks. : )

Thanks. I am reading your root link now. 4th phone is the same. T-Mo says sorry, can't do anything. I'm going to try to root.
So I'm about to root my S3 and am wondering if I need to backup my IMEI. I found the thread showing how to, but then the first post was updated saying not to use this method. I read through the thread and some people say to still use it, others not too.
If I need to back it up to avoid any potential issues I'll def do it, but I just don't know where to go to do it correctly.
Suggestions??

You don't need to back up your IMEI if you are simply rooting. I believe it is only AOSP roms that people have had IMEI issues with. Stock roms like Synergy, Bean's, and NoSympathy's are safe.
That being said...I backed mine up anyways
Thanks I didn't realize that the issues were only in the aosp roms.
What method did you use to back it up?? I've read good things about cm and was thinking about maybe trying it.

I just used this method. I ran it in a terminal emulator on my phone, and then sent the backup to Dropbox.
i want to root my phone but Sprint seems to have patch the root exploit, so i am thinking of doing a factory restore.
does anyone know what software version it will resort back to, currently i am on 2.3.4.
You will still be on 2.3.4 you need to search for the method then reds until your head hurts

This root method works wonders nothing is more better then to learn to manually root your device. Of course you can use the tool provided in the, the development forums, but I personally enjoy learning to do things without the use of developed tools.
If you need help feel free to ask we are here to help ^_^
Good luck don't turn your device into a brick READ READ AND READ FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE YOU WILL BE A OK.

Use the manual method by Indirect if you want to have more control over what you're doing (also does not void your warranty) and definitely read read read
I would recommend at least going through the whole "user" section of xda-university before even touching your phone, it has tons of useful information

Definitely, also just FYI but when you do a factory restore that simply wipes all app data (both user and system apps)

Best advice I can give you is to Read, Read, Read, and Read some more. Use the search function a ton, as it will help you to get used to resolving issues in the future. Because sometimes even when people are willing to help, answers are hard to come by. Also there are a few links you can check out in my Signature. The Shift community is one of the Best anywhere, so you picked the right device to learn Android with . Welcome to a great forum.
yes yes, i have rooted like 5 phones, but this one is stuck in a boot loop and trying to fix that

Na i was using you shift rootility tutorial, but i screwed up and put the wrong PG06IMG.zip in the $path. there was 2 versions a 12.7MB and a 227MB one. i didn't realize that i needed to do the 227MB to downgrade first then after it's downgraded then use the 12.7MB one.
so i stopped mid way through and tried to boot normally, which sent me into a boot loop. doing a factory restore fixed the boot-loop and now i am starting over again.
BTW CNexus you have some dead links in your Tut.
You will be on older radios after rooting. Download the ZIP with the most recent radios, WiMAX, and touchscreen firmware from HERE or HERE.

It doesn't matter, you can do it anytime after you have rooted (make sure you flash it in bootloader and not through recovery though)
I've been looking around and it seems there isn't a lot we can do with the AT&T Note Pro? I've rooted and let SuperSU disable KNOX for me. Should I just go ahead and start debloating via TiBU or is there more that I can do? Thanks!
EDIT: Also if I install the newest update for it can I still root?
Well, it seems I may not be able to root after updating. Even after getting the PRO version of SuperSU and checking the box to try and get root to survive, I have lost root. Also now Towelroot says my device is no longer supported. I know I read of another root method, so I will try that and report back.

Well the other root method (CF-AutoRoot) isn't compatible with the P907A. So... can anyone give me some guidance on how to revert to an older firmware. I'm sure it's possible I just haven't ever had to do it, so I don't really know how.
