goodbye HTC

i hate HTC
I have issues with HTC...but they stem from my provider. I found the best way is to use "universal androot" rooted both my hero's and have been testing various roms and updates with great success. Maybe give that a try before throwing in the towel.
ummm maybay
am i crazy, I might have lost my mind. I downloaded an app universal androot copied it to goldcard and ran the app. "woot root access gained" Then i ran the terminal app and typed su enter a# sign appeared as far as i know that means i have gained root, is this true can anyone shed light on the fact that it all seemed to easy after everything i have tried.
^ Sounds like you did it It only took me a few seconds, and it tested positive
mmmm....
xda is right up there with too much horsepower,my bangin girlfriend, and free money
I love you guys
Is it me or does the name of the thread imply an entire different topic? Idk.. I thought this thread is about something like "root or not? what do you say? what do I get, should I or shouldn't I?"
Sry, but I think it's a bit misleading.. But great it worked out for you anyway

never install any thing inside gold card just use another sdcard and format it fat 32
and do what you want with his HTC (dirty devices)

Can this unit be rooted using the same Desire HD methods? i.e. - Downgrade, root, and flash new ROM?
My assumption is that it's basically the same hardware, no?
Thank you.
attn1 will be releasing rooting details on Sunday
I hope he has root already :-D
I am not yet an Android user. Will be getting Inspire on Monday. But I was wondering if people think it will be possible to unlock the tethering function after rooting and junk like that? I still have the unlimited data plan so that would be clutch.
Thanks.
You should be able to do this even without root by sideloading (using the sideload wonder machine) a third-party app
junefabrics.com/android/index.php
Very cool, will probably be using that then.

That program only supports USB and BT tether though, which kinda sucks. No wifi = fail

What exactly does that mean? That you have to connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable in order to tether?

Yes, that will work, but you won't have sound when you're done. The kernel drivers are slightly different and we don't have proper source code yet. Also, we want to flash back our radio.
In the meantime, we can use the kernel supplied in the at&t inspire with the DHD roms.
Also, the DHD ENG Hboot maybe be a little squirrely with our radio. We had some oddness, so I don't recommend flashing that.
Update: DHD ENG hboot issue closed - it was another problem. The DHD/MT4G eng Hboot is fine. I don't recooment that newbs flash this - it gives you nothing you can't already do and there is a real possibility of bricking the phone flashing it if you don't know what you're doing.
I am working on a kit that will have everything needed to get root and radio s-off, including scripts to make this a bit easier. You can do this on Windows (provided you have installed the right USB drivers), OSX or Linux.
Note: A gold card *WILL* be needed. I can't include that in the kit. You can save yourselves some time by looking up how to make a gold card and getting that done ahead of time. You will thank yourself for it.

Researching it now..
Update:
looks pretty simple.
Will the gold card need to be the card that I use for the phone after I root or can I just use any micro SDHC card and then replace it when I'm done?

Props to attn1 for getting the inspire rooted this quickly. I got my phone on monday and by using his method (and his hours of help) it was rooted by early wednesday morning.
Now I am impatiently waiting for a compatible CM7.
Is there a minimum size for the sd card for gold card? Can the sd card be used for normal usage afterwards?
My luck will be that none of my 3 micro sd cards will work for a gold card.
really not looking forward to a gold card method. Although its not difficult might hold out for a version without the hassle.
I am looking how to do a Gold Card and I keep seeing that you need the phone in order to do it. Is that true? ATTN1 said get it done ahead of time, so can you do it without the phone?
I don't really care so much about custom rom's, all I want is wifi hotspot and hsupa being enabled.
Hope this isn't too complicated. I plan on buying the phone, trying it out stock, and if I decide to keep it, root it for the 2 features above.
Anyone know if this rooting methode is going to be compatible with the telus HTC Desire HD?

In looking at the process that attn1 describes, it should work with Telus, however, you would probably need to flash the Telus kernel instead of the Inspire kernel and use the Telus radio instead of the Inspire radio just to be safe.
It looks like the kit that attn1 is putting together will have specific pieces for the Inspire. You may want to visit and search the DHD forum for rooting specifics about the Telus DHD.
Hey everyone! I have a question that I couldn't find the answer to in the General or Dev forums.
My brother asked me if I could root his phone. I have experience with rooting, CWM, etc on my phone (Atrix), so I told him that I could, but I'd have to do some research first.
He did install the 2.3.3 update, so I understand permanent root is not possible yet. So here's my question-
Is there anything that would stop me from executing the following sequence and successfully getting CM7 onto the phone?
Gain Temp root
Rename install_recovery.sh to something else
Install ROM manager
Install CWM Recovery
Have ROM manager download CM7
Flash CM7
Done
Thank you in advance!
DK
Will not work, the bootloader is locked so flashing roms isn't gonna happen.
I dont think that would work... The shift is as locked down as the atrix was. I am pretty sure the partitions would still be write protected with only temp root...
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
I didn't even think about the bootloader possibly being locked. I always thought HTC had unlocked bootloaders until very recently (Evo 3D) when they released locked bootloaders, then announced that they would allow you to unlock them.
According to this page:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide#Flashing_the_Engineering_HBoot
Flashing that will unlock the boot loader. So I should be able to change my steps to:
[Edit: That site is basically instructions on how to install CM7 onto the Shift, and those steps only require temporary root to execute.]
Gain Temp root
Flash HBoot
Rename install_recovery.sh to something else
Install ROM manager
Install CWM Recovery
Have ROM manager download CM7
Flash CM7
Done
Is there anything else that would stop my process above from working?
EDIT - MY Atrix had a new bootloader installed when I did the OTA to Gingerbread several months ago. If the Evo Shift also got a new bootloader with their GB update, three is a chance that flashing HBoot could brick the phone. I'm going to start looking into this now, however if someone knows the answer to this I'd appreciate an answer
Wont work... We have an emmc partitioned phone just like the evo 3d. The o.t.a. to 2.3.3 included a new locked/encrypted bootloader. The partitions are write protected and encrypted. Flashing the eng hboot with a locked/encrypted recovery partition could equal brick...
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Thanks for that info, I couldn't find confirmation either way on the bootloader. I was going to check check MD5Sums before flashing the HBoot just in case.
So can I restore back to Froyo and the old bootloader? On the Atrix you could do this (as long as you didn't unlock your bootloader) by using RSD Lite and flashing the stock SBF file. A quick search on the Evo Shift implies that I can do something similar with the Evo Shift - RUU back to stock Froyo? I admit I know nothing about how that works, I'll start searching now, and any additional info would be great!
Edit: Looks like there is no way to do that either, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back. Interesting that the phone got a new bootloader with the OTA update. My Atrix got a new bootloader with its 2.3 update too, but that was because the new bootloader allowed the users to unlock it. I also see that HTC's online unlocker doesn't list the Evo Shift. So it looks like my brother installing the OTA screwed himself out of getting to run any custom ROMs.

You got it man... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... Htc went all moto on us... They even used the same style of 256 bit encryption... Effing ****ty!

Hi,
I (with a lot of help) managed to root my phone with the Viper S image yesterday.
I have now tried this guide to unlock it but unfortunately instead of an unlock code in the terminal I get a date... I am a bit confused as to what I should do from here as the alternative method appears to require S-OFF, even though it only insinuates this!
I do not mind loosing data but I like the fact the phone is working with this Viper S ROM...
If I go ahead using this guide will I be OK? Does it matter the state the phone is in now? Is there a better/easier method?
I would be very grateful for any help!
Thank you VERY much

Hi,
If you got a date ,then you need to use method 2 which requires s-off.
Using kgs method is fine.
Just a note to say thanks!
I got it all sorted in the end!
Hello community!! I have been reading through the site for a couple of days now, and I'm still confused which rooting method to use since the At&t, and Rogers are mixed together. Sometimes the techniques used are interchanged, sometimes not. Well my question, or problem is is that I am trying to root the Rogers HTC OneX, running the latest installed updates, which are;
Android version
4.1.1
HTC Sense version
4+
Software/build numer
3.17.631.2
HTC SDK API level
4.63
Kernel version
3.4.10-g240d4d5
I'm trying to achieve root because I want to remove bloatware from my phone.I do not know how to achieve root to do this, I don't mind temporary root, aslong as it keeps the changes I made during that root session. I've read around, and some of the posts that are relevant to my problem are outdate by almost 7 months, with users claiming they're having problems with the method given, and these links were directed from a page that was only edited a couple days ago, so it's a bit confusing, especially when At&t, and Rogers are always jumbled around interchangeably. Anyways,I'd love up-to-date instructions on how to succesfully root this phone. Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? If I have to unlock the bootloader, fine(I know..HTCDev), would someone also provide me a way to unroot aswell, and lock the bootloader back up for a smooth stock startup, incase I want to sell the phone some day? My goal is to get root, remove bloatware, and be able to restore to stock when needed.
This wonderful community's posts also helped me root my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3!!!

Here is the oneclick method.
Now as for your software this could be tricky... This may or may not work cause you have the latest build from htc. The latest exploit developed is for 2.20. I cant think of any issues of trying this. I just simply may not take. Use at your own risk kind of thing though.

Go to that site Download the SDK from the site they provide you then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859478
Go here and follow the How to Unlock the Bootloader (When your on HTC DEV.com skip to number 8 Just go to the SDK folder and press shift + right click in the folder click open Command windows here. and then follow the steps from 8) Make sure you are in Fastboot mood by turning off you phone then when its off hold Power + Volume down until the screen comes up and click bootloader then your good!

I tried running that program(TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 [1-22-2013] [PERM), but my CID keeps coming back ROGER001, instead of 11111111, therefore the included exploit does not work, But if I manually unlock it through HTCdev, can I resume the steps through that program? Thanks!!
PS: I found out my hboot version is 1.94.000
I unlocked my bootloader through the HTCdev site successfully. Now i'm stuck on actually granting myself root. I've used a couple of files thrown around here, but nothing seems to work. Even temporary root that keeps changes. Anyone?
Once you are bootloader unlocked. Install twrp I believe you need 2.3.3.1 on your firmware and then flash a superuser zip

On the second Site i sent you scroll down abit and you will see How to install TWRP custom recorvery do that and then you will be good. after that download SuperUser ZIp and install it ( once again scroll down on the page and look how to install a custom ROM) for the Custom ROM part there are better tutorials that you can find on this site but yeah.

X-Factor exploit is not needed for the Rogers version (or any other carrier aside AT&T). And as the OP found out, don't think it works on his version, anyway.
For all other variants (besides AT&T) just unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install TWRP custom recovery, and flash SU or a rooted ROM.
Good to know. Thanks! I hate att more every day. im moving to canada
Sent from my HOX w/CM10.1
So, I may have unlocked the bootloader for nothing! I also realized my hboot version was 2.14, NOT 1.94 like I thought. Will there be any harm in trying to flash TWRP, and root anyhow? Will this brick my device, or simply not take? If TWRP installs, and I push SU, and then I get undesired glitchy results, can I restore back to stock, or atleast an original Ruu? Thanks
You got is easy! Just flash recovery and superuser and your golden.
