I am planning on rooting my GFs Huawei Ascend with this guide:
http://androidforums.com/ascend-all...-step-rooting-instructions-huawei-ascend.html
Now I already have a rooted Evo 4G and I know with that there are risks of bricking. Are there any risks of bricking by doing the steps in that guide? (Cricket version) I plan to freeze all the apps they recommended as well. Or is there any better way to root this?
Use Gingerbreak.apk to root it.
Is there any link for it on XDA? Also why would I use that? Please explain

there is hardly a chance of bricking your phone by rooting. and i think z4root is the way to go (its easy to use, gets you rooted in under a minute)
What about superoneclick? I was reading it in the thread. It enables third party apps too. I haven't read about any deleted SD cards with z4 though. But I have with soc and Gingerbreak

well all rooting methods do the same thing: they get you rooted. its just that some are easier to do than the others and some work on certain android versions. i recommended z4root because all you have to do is open the app and hit permanent root. for superoneclick, you need to connect your phone to the computer, enable usb debugging, etc (its not much of a hassle, but why not just root on your phone?)
and heres the link for gingerbreak:

what do you mean by enable third party apps? are you talking about installing apps from unknown sources (installing apps not from the market)? if so, then yes. you can do that as long as you're rooted
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Yea and her phone has that option to do so. I guess I will just use Z4 and freeze the apps I can that are safe, and then maybe put a ROM on it, probably not though. Also, is there any chance of data on phone (SDCARD / Contacts) being deleted? I saw in the GB thread or maybe SOC that SD CARD can sometimes get formatted.

althou searching would help, ATT has disallowed the install of non-market apps. you need to be rooted with sideloading enabled.
So I got it rooted, but how do you enable sideloading? I still can't install anything from my sd card. I know sideload wonder machine works, but I have some apps backed up with titanium backup and would like to be able to restore on the inspire.

If you're using a rooted stock ROM this option won't be there, you'll need to use SideLoadWonder machine. Other ROMs have the option to allow non market apps in settings (i'm using Revolution and it's there)

Rooting means voiding your warranty.
I don't think you can screw if you follow instruction step by step. This is my first android phone but learning curve was just a few hours.

I use to own a hd2 which is a windows phone was able to boot up android rom from SD ... is it possible to do the same with a file manager on g2x soo that we are able to play with different Tom's without having to root the phone? For people who doesnt own a computer to root I know it's easy with the one click root... but its impossible to root without a computer :/ .
The mytouch 4g is the only phone I know of that can be rooted without a PC. And no root means no custom ROMs.
I was able to root through an app in the market with my Vibrant until they made it illegal.

It's illegal to make rooting illegal.
There was a ruling on that late last year or earlier this year.
It is completely legal to modify your phone software but you run the risk of voiding the warranty.
It's not "illegal" in the "legal" sense - it's a violation of Google's rules to have an app that can root your phone on the market.

Visionary was used for devices with HTC's nand lock on devices with the second gen snapdragons like the MT4G, G2, and DHD (not so sure about any other devices).
The Nook Color had something similar. It's bootloader was built to load a rom off of the SD card if one would exist. So you could load Clockwork Mod and root without a PC (less downloading and setting up the microSD cards).
You'd waste less time focusing finding a PC to let you root the phone then trying to find a PC-Less-Root-Method since I don't think any exist.

Not trying to pile on, but... Seriously?
There's nothing difficult about the guide. The rooting techniques have been simplified as much as possible, for this phone.
Customizing this phone is going to require a little bit of effort on your part, it's not going to root itself.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yeah I know how you feel about rooting O/P but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 also androidcentral.com is another good site too if you have not been their already.
Also I would look into how to un-root the htc inspire just in case if you want to go back.
I had to watch the video a couple of times but it was not to bad but I do recommend this make sure your updated I know I had to do a wifi update then your good.
But if you have your phone all set up root will rest your phone all over again contacts will be their just if you added or did anything to it. It sucks it took me like 30 mins to set everything back up lol
Ok, I understand rooting gives you access and you have to downgrade your phone for rooting and then get a custom rom to pyt to a rooted current or future version. Am I right?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well from what I read on roms, roms will give you customs look and some better features I have not added and Roms yet really just wanted to remove bloatware Im still reading about Roms and how to install them...Also I was just reading through the steps about rooting I think by far bubbys root is the easiest way to root.
lol I ask a lot of ?s ha http://forum.androidcentral.com/inspire-rooting-roms-hacks/88094-rom-t-stock-rom-sense-unroot.html
just in case you need it.. Cause I did root back to stock..which now Im thinking about rooting today.. Just cause I dont like the bloatware but which is nice about root it gives unknown sources thats if you DL and app rather then the market place right now I use Side Load Wonder Machine its a pain to go through the pc but unknown allows you to DL 3rd party off a site. but other then having bloatware removed and having unknown sources thats all I did for rooting. Helpful hint is also looking into how to make a back up of your phone just in case something messes up.
Thank you so much for your support everyone... so one final question... what is bloatware?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
bloatware is all the pre install apps and like the blockbuster ATT nav, yelp etc. even though this is for droidX it works the same just copy and past this -----> Droid X Bloatware Removal How To Android 2.2 FroYo <-------- in youtube and its the 1st, or you can use titanium backup Pro to freeze the bloatware which makes the OS of the phone think its not their anymore and you can unfreeze it later if you need it.. over all its to save some memory on the phone..
So how do i save all memory to my sd card before rooting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
what do you mean memory? like in apps,pics? their is an app called app2Sd in the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
that may help also heads up if you root you can do a back up with titanium back up and it restore your apps on that half Im not a 100% sure just google it one of the things I miss from my iphone is the itunes for backing up my apps.Still have not found a program thats like itunes for backing up apps fully and add them back if needed.
to bad you can just drag your apps to your Pc and save.. =(
But what will move my pictures and music to the sd card?

They should already be there. The phone stores that kind of stuff on the SD card, because internal storage is limited.

A step by step guide will be unlikely. Making a rom comes from experience and knowledge. It will take alot of work to get that done on your aunts phone. Honestly i don't think its worth it, there is so much involved in trying to develop a rom for a phone. I would just experiment with the phone, do some theming and become use to how the phone works and functions, remember...its all experience

what are the downfalls/cons of rooting this?(im the type of person who likes to know what the outcome can become)
Advantages
1)You can install a custom ROM
2) You can upgrade or downgrade your phone
3)You can link apps to SD or make a part of your SD card internal memory
4)Performance will be better than stock ROM
Disadvantages
1)You can Soft brick your phone
But you can also unbrick by some methods (This will happen if you don't follow instructions carefully )
2) You can hard brick your phone
(You will have to buy another phone or replace your motherboard)
3)You void your warranty by rooting.

Could someone suggest the best (safest) method of rooting my AT&T G3? I've only rooted a couple of phones over the years, so I'm not terribly experienced at this. I don't want to flash any new ROMs or change the phone drastically. I don't even care much about removing bloatware. I'd be happy if I could just remove that stubborn circle clock widget on the lock screen and would really love it if I could restore the FM radio.

IO root (I think that's the name) is simple just enter in two commands
In the adb and that's pretty much it. Also I think the radio is a hardware thing and is only on the D855 international model.

After root you will will be able to download apps and tweaks that would require root to run. Its like having full access to your phone and files. Like having admin rights I guess. I'm not sure about hotspot.

Thanks for the tips everyone.
About hot spots. I rooted my G2 and was able to tether whereas before, AT&T prevented this function unless I paid extra.
Not sure I want t o do it at this point because the risk/benefit isn't worth it for me. This phone has so much storage that the bloatware isn't an issue and I never really tethered as much as I thought I would. Too bad about the FM radio. Regaining that function would persuade me.
