Just wondering because it's a pain for me to get to a computer and download the stuff I need. My computer caught fire and I have to get another and I don't like asking people to use their laptops so I can download things.

You need a pc to run the fastboot commands...don't see if ever happening.

What do you mean? There is a one-click method for the Evo. I understand I'd need a pc but if I can download one file and do a one click unlock and root it would be awesome. One file to complete the whole process. It wouldn't be a pain to borrow a laptop from someone to download one thing.
If I root now I have to download SDK, this & that. I moved so I don't live that close to my friends. I only have an iPad and Xoom as my source of internet.
I think for a one click we would need the source code to honeycomb
sent from my Motorola XOOM
Personally I wouldn't want to one click the xoom, I learned a lot about the xoom while trying to root it and I now feel comfortable tinkering with it as a result. I wanted one click with my cell but at 600 bucks I want to know what makes the xoom tick and be knowledgeable enough to restore it if I need to. The root methods available now aren't difficult at all.

This is for 3.0, but it's one-click unlock, root, unroot, and relock.

I must have read it wrong then, i thought you were having problems getting a computer. The way i read it, you were looking for a one-click method to run from your xoom. Sorry, if i would have read it right, i would have answer correctly. There is currently no way to one click root 3.1. In all honesty i hope one never comes. I understand your problem, but people need to learn to do things. One clicks are the reason we have 762 threads that start with "bricked".

I was successful rooting with this method. I have rooted two thunderbolts. I downloaded the instructions.pdf and just followed that.
Didn't work well
It didn't work well when I tried it. It doesn't take much more effort once you have ADB setup to do the manual method. Really it is quite easy to manually root.
Yeah I root using and... But my bro lives 200 miles away ... And he wants to root but his not so good with computers any other ways ... I look at adb for dummies.... And sets every thing up auto.... Will it work okay ... Or any other options..
sent from my rooted tbolt using XDA app
I rooted my OG Droid and my Droid X the manual way, so I had a bit of knowledge before hand so I'm not sure how much help this will be, but I did use the three step method on my thunderbolt and it worked perfectly. All it does is exactly what you would do the manual way, except its automated. You still have to go to recovery and flash the software as normal, though, so you may need to walk him through it. The pdf really does help, though.

Anyone knows if the 3 click root work with the new 605.7 update ...
sent from my rooted tbolt using XDA app
Months ago I had so many problems rooting my MT4G. Recently, I decided to load the stock rom on my phone, just to root it all over again. I was able to do it in about 3 minutes! Here we go...
The following prerequisites can be found by searching/googling the forums.
1.) need VisionARY r14 .apk file
2.) need MyTouchRootingFiles (zip containing hboot_dhd.nb0, root.sh, and wpx.ko)
3.) download and install Android Terminal Emulator from Android Market
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, here are the instructions.
1.) Install VisionARY to your phone
2.) Unzip the MyTouchRootingFiles file to your computer, then copy the unzipped folder called ROOT to the root of your sdcard using usb cable
3.) While phone is NOT connected to computer, start VisionARY. Press the TEMP ROOT option to gain temporary root access. Exit VisionARY.
4.) Start Terminal Emulator and type the following, hitting enter after each line
SU
CD /SDCARD/ROOT
SH ROOT.SH​5.) After rebooting, start VisionARY again, and gain TEMP ROOT once again
6.) Wait a few minutes (this is very important, don't rush), then press ATTEMPT PERM ROOT, your phone will reboot
7.) After rebooting, start Terminal Emulator and simply type SU. If you get the "#", you have rooted your phone!
Now you can explore the Android world by installing custom roms created by the community. You may want to research how to backup your device before starting to flash roms.
Good luck!
This will only work if you have the good eMMC chip set W/ 2.2.x. And it's a pretty well known method of rooting phones. Heck i have this method in my signature from when i posted the same thing months ago.
You do know this method only works for froyo 2.2. Now a days mostly everyone is on gingerbread 2.3. Gingerbread bread updated device is more complex to root. It requires you to downgrade then root.
When I started rooting mt4g's this is the method I used and it took me about 3 to 5 minutes as well. This is also without using a pc. Everything done from the device. Its not as easy now though.

Yup, I'm aware. But anytime you get a MT4G from Tmo, it's still coming with 2.2... My instructions were basically for people that have had their Mt4g, but were afraid to root...

Search the forums on how to check your eMMC chip. (I'd post the link, but i'm on my way to work & don't have it off hand. If you really can't find it, PM me & I'll find it.) Long story short, this method may not work, depending on the type of eMMC in your phone. You will
need to root via the gfree method, also available in the xda forums. Mackster248 has a great tutorial on YouTube.

Hey no problem. The android community is about knowledge-fully (if that's even a word) helping each other. And i know we all have to start somewhere.
Glad you got it working. Happy flashing!
It's a fast process if you know what your doing. Even if you don't it can still take only 10 minutes with downgrading

Yea, that is another option although Odin is a lot easier.
Downloading a "massive Odin package" is no big deal (I think it took me 10 minutes IIRC) unless you don't own a PC.

Ok first off, I want to say that yes I have looked at countless threads explaining and asking the same thing, and none of them have been very useful. Maybe that's my fault, maybe it's just want I'm use to in the past. So I want to apologize to people who see my thread and go "Uuugh another retard". I don't want to be a retard or a jerk or anything of the above, but I just feel like nothing in the forums for this phone is as clear or well formulated as the phones I've dealt with in the past on XDA and I don't know why that is. Maybe I just haven't really learned anything from my past experiences
I have the HTC One X (duh) AT&T at software version 1.85, and I'd like to root it and do whatever else I need to do to get to the point of being able to load custom ROMs. My issue is that even after reading several threads, including the ones specifically about rooting version 1.85, I have no idea what to do. I've rooted phones in the past and never had this much trouble understanding instructions, and I think it's just because in the past the guides have always been extremely clear and explicitly stated what I needed, where I got it, how to load it, and how to use it. I've only done a few phones in the past, HTC Inspire, HTC Tilt 2, and an LG model that I've forgotten the name of.
So ok, here is this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296 What exactly am I supposed to do here, because to be honest the instructions there are terrible. I read through probably fifteen pages of that thread, and felt like an idiot because no one else needed help even starting. So I started looking around, and I found some other posts asking for help, but everyone had seemed to actually have gotten past the initial point. For me, I can't even properly download the su file because it has no file type and Windows is all **** you buddy give it a file type (I just called it a zip file so I could at least have it downloaded.) I also looked at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 thread, and I understand what to do here but from my understanding I should be rooted first so that's a problem yes?
So could someone please assist me with a properly designated and clear set of instructions on how to get my phone to the phase where I can do more with it?
I fully understand if no one wishes to help me, or if this exact issue has really come up before. I've been looking for awhile and just haven't had any luck at all. Thank you for your help if you wish to help, and thank you even if you don't. Have a wonderful day.
I rooted mine with by "faking" an ota update.. that is you have to go to att update (go to settings and scroll all the way down) and from the console push some files to the phone via adb and then hit "update" in the phone.. I can't remember the thread though...

OP has linked the correct thread for rooting 1.85. The only working method, AFAIK.
I was completely new to the Android universe and also had problems getting started, but it helped when I figured out what ADB was.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
Basically, what you want to do (per the thread you linked to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296)
FIRST - install ADB!
Then :
- pull the SIM card (i didn't do this, but I'm just reiterating the insturctions on that page )
- do a factory reset
- do not connect to the internet after factory reset. Just go into settings and enable USB debugging, and plug the phone into your computer's USB port.
NOW, you can (via USB and the ADB tool which you've researched from my link above) run the commands from that thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296). So open up a command prompt (start->run->cmd on a Windows machine) and just type everything you see in the instructions in that thread. Doesn't particularly matter if you don't knwo what each command does as long as you follow them faithfully
I'd be happy to walk you through it. Your on the right track though. It'll have to be later tonight though. Pm me and I can get with you after 9pm mountain standard.

After its downloaded, will Windows let you rename the file so there is no file extension? My Windows XP system will allow it, so if you're on Windows 7, I'm not sure what the fix is.
Also, the root guide assumes you have some knowledge of ADB. As it seems your are pretty lost, I'm assuming you don't. Gunny's guide has some ADB basics (although I've been told even this starter guide is missing a few basics):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
I rooted back on 1.73, so a different method. But I'll try to help as much as I can.
Also, if you haven't already seen my index thread, its got all the resources posted in Development, in an organized list. Your issue right now doesn't seem to be finding the right threads. But you may find it useful once you get unstuck from the root process, at least:
