Hey guys, My friend just got the Aria for AT&T and I have suggested Unrevoked as I did for my EVO. The question I have is simple, If he roots with Unrevoked, will that bypass AT&Ts block on Unknown sources for apps?
I don't think so. You can use HTC aria sync version 3.0 to install 3 party apps. Its on the aria forum here. Or just flash a different ROM.

i used it an ARIA. all I want is to root the device.
have you tried using a gold card? its pretty simple.
I too am waiting for unrevoked. The gold card isn't all that simple if you never used adb.
according to att1, unrevoked will not work on the Inspire

The exploit that unrevoked was able to use on previous HTC models has been plugged on the more recent HTC models, including the Desire HD and the Inspire.
It might work but with out downgrading and s-off there isn't much they can do.
As of now the only Rom that can be rooted is 1.32

I don't own an MT4G or Panache, but I started this thread for the inevitable arrival of Mobilicity & Videotron customers who would like to mod an HTC Panache. Once the MyTouch 4G Gingerbread update came out, it was found that the Fre3vo root exploit (originally found for the Sensation/Evo 3D) will also temp-root this phone. To get S-OFF you have to roll back to an old Froyo MT4G firmware - from there you can roll back forward to anything you want.
Differences between MT4G Gingerbread and Panache for the purpose of this thread:
- Panache requires a gold card because the ROM you roll back to comes from a different carrier.
- Your preferences in terms of what ROM to put on your phone after S-OFF may be different from T-Mobile customers - ergo, discuss here if this is an issue.
Thanks to jgobeil for posting the guide in post #98:

Hi,
Now that the rooting guide for the Panache is completed and posted, may I suggest that you update the first post of the Panache thread to refer newcomers to this thread to post #98 where the guide is.
This will make it easy for these people and maybe avoid costly mistakes.
Best regards and thanks for your help.

If Gingerbreak will work on it, that would be the only difference, instead rooting with Visionary+, they'll root with Gingerbreak and proceed with the same S-OFF guide, hopefully flashing engineering bootloader.

What is gingerbreak??? Is there a new rooting method called gingerbreak?

Since it has launched with Gingerbread, I am guessing the initial root steps will be a little different. If any MT4G devs have any idea what Panache users should try differently, post it here.

Dude then why the hell did you start this if you don't own one? Stick to your own forum!

Because I'm Canadian and using one of the new AWS carriers here, so I want to know as much as I can about the devices they release

There is someone else here on the forum who flashed the entire firmware of the Panache onto his MT4G and was unable to re-root with Gingerbreak even for temp root. Fortunately the user in question had Radio S-OFF so was eventually able to fix it. But this hints that Gingerbreak won't work.

That was me. And yes, none of the rooting methods out there will work on panache (including gingerbreak by SOC) firmware. I had to hboot-flash the stock 2.2.1 firmware and then was able to root.

Thanks for clarifying. Of course you had S-OFF and the Mobi/Vtron Panache comes S-ON. So this leaves an open question of what is the first step to root the Panache.

I just wanted to ask - you said you tried Gingerbreak and it didn't work. My question is, did you check if it at least provided you with temp root? Or it did nothing at all?
I got rooted. Just installed Rom manager to flash recovery and all is fine.

Could you explain all the steps you took to achieve this on the Panache?
I just read your thread and it looks like you actually had a MT4G running the Panache ROM. But was your phone already S-OFF? If so, that'd probably explain why Gingerbreak worked. Not sure that'd fly on a factory Installed Panache.

Details on post I started, but its glacier used panache RUU.

Yes it was s-off, but another user who did that could'nt root though he also was s-off

I see. So it's still not clear what will or won't work with a factory S-ON Panache.
It's reported that Gingerbreak does not work with S-ON Panache, but what's unclear is whether it can still be used to achieve temp root. If it can, this suggests a way to force it to an earlier T-Mo RUU which will permit the use of the S-OFF kernel exploit.
as far i know, both are same hardware and you dont need s-off to use factory RUU. thus if i can use panache RUU regardless of s-off i can flash mytouch 4g RUU on panache.

You need at the very least temproot to edit the "misc" partition before flashing an older version bootloader RUU, otherwise it will reject it. Since it is not yet established that temproot works on factory S-ON Panache, there is no established way to downgrade the RUU. So there is still no clear pathway yet.
If you say so though I still think u dont need any sort of root for official RUU.exe
Sent from my HTC Panache using XDA App
An official RUU will fail, even with a gold card, if it's an older version than the current bootloader. All MT4G official firmwares are older than the Panache's. The only way around this is a root hack.

ok i didnt know that, i thought its more like flashing a bios where it says u have this ver and willflash this
Okay so I see on the Mobilicity and Videotron Panache that it has peak speeds of 21 Mbps whereas the MT4G is 14.4, did they make a hardware change or is this in the firmware?

No, it didnt even temp root. As i said earlier i did not have a true s-off. I even tried flashing cwm through fastboot but bootloader didnt allow that (it should have if i had a true s-off).
are anybody try root desire S using Visionary and using desire HD s-off tools is it working? b'cos inspire 4g can be done using DHD tools
sory english not very well
inspire 4g and desire hd are 99,999999999999999% the same
flashing a hboot of the desire hd to the desire s would kill it
also visionary is for 2.2, it doesnt even works with 2.2.1 anymore
also the tool requires perma root, which is only possible there with android 2.2
ohh i see. thx 4 replying
I have tried GINGERBREAK and VISION+
GINGERBREAK can temp root
VISION+ doesnt work
Is there a one click root program or batch command that will root the inspire with gingerbread?
Sent from my HTC inspire at Ludacris speed
No, the need for a gold-card makes it impossible for a truly one-click solution, but the Ace Hack Kit comes closest (and currently is the only one that works with GB Inspires):
