No there is no way to perm Root as of yet.
okay if you temp root what does it allow you to do?
Not a lot currently. Cannot flash custom Roms. You can make certain changes, but when you reboot you have to start over. You must Temp Root again.

For anyone that has had difficulty rooting the HTC Desire S.
Having had my HTC Desire S made S-Off by Androf ( Root internet cafe on Edgware Rd London ) I noticed that there are a few methods to root the DS.
Most of which are quite complicated but alas I managed to find a simple method.
The Gingerbreak 1.20 APK manages to root any S-Off DS quickly and easily, simply download the app directly to the phone or download and transfer to the phone. Once that has been done simply install the APK file onto the phone, once that is done simply run the app and follow the instructions and then your phone should say something along the lines of there was a mistake and try a manual reboot to check if Superuser is installed.
For a few people such as myself you may notice that once you run the Gingerbreak APK the phone reboots itself and doesn't work, if this happens to you then simply format your SD card and remount it and try again and "voila" you should have superuser installed and root access on the DS.
Hope this helps anyone that may have encountered the same problems as me.

Don't fear! I believe that I'm the same boat as you, also coming from a TOPAZ and WM65, so any daft question feel happy to ask me (not that I'll be able to answer them!) I've had a sharp learning curve over the last 6weeks and my first Android device!
There are a few ways of knowing if you have route access.
First thing to check is if you have superuser access, if you can't find that out then simply go to the market and download an app called route check and that will tell you if you are rooted.
Hope this helps.
Ron
Ok, thanks guys. Couldn't find route checker but got something similar that told me I don't have SU rights - this apk installed fine for me tho.
Anyway, think I'll have a scout around and see what I'm actually trying to do and if I need to!
Thanks again

You haven't looked very hard...
Its the first sticky thread in the Dev section of this forum.

You must be S-OFF to use it though.
I was about to post a thread asking the same question. I have a SOFF phone and wanted to know how to root it without getting into trouble.
Edit: successfully rooted my phone.

Dont people use the search anymore???
how to root s-on device? or how to s-off my DS??
My understanding is that rooting an S-on phone, if possible, only achieves a temp root that is lost on reboot. S-Off at present is only possible with xtc clip (hardware device) ( =lots of money). Software method is likely coming soon (ish) via alpharev team.
Suggest googling xtc and/or alpharev.

Waiting
When i run my GingerBreak and choose Root device, it says it's running the exploit and this may take a few minutes. I have waited 6 minutes and nothing happened. Followed your instructions but it seems that it's rooting forever.

Can you please provide some additional information about your device.
Your ROM version, HBOOT version, have you made the phone S-OFF? etc
then we'll probably be able to help
@kikukiks - did you try rebooting anyway? It may have worked, just needs a reboot....

Try formatting your memory card and then retry gingerbreak and it should work... Or at least it did for me.

I haven't had any success obtaining temp root using visionary/z4. I'm assuming this is because my phone has the most recent updates. I then found this thread Working EVO Shift Temp Root for 2.3.3 Newest OTA [8/04/2011], and was wondering if there would be any issues obtaining temp root via the linked method and then using visionary/z4 to perma root the phone.
I just don't want to have any issues with visionary/z4 while attempting to perma root with temp root access. Also both visionary/z4 froze when trying to get temp root.
I later found this as well [Win32 Tool]GUI Root with Check and Recovery! and was wondering if this program would be fine to use to root my updated shift.
Thanks for your time.
Temp root is all thats available to shifts running 2.3.3... Hopefully perm root is being worked on "behind the scenes".

Why would you doubt that?
Anyone know of a non-destructive root method for ICS? My wife and I are swapping phones. Mine is rooted and all but hers isn't and I want to make a Titanium backup of all her stuff.
So far the only method I know of to root is via OEM unlock and flashing clockwork recovery. Then installing su via CWR. The OEM unlock erases everything.

I believe you can root it without unlocking the boot loader using SuperOneClick but I could be wrong. Either way worth a try
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Move the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC before starting. Don't forget your pictures folder too!
just copy your entire SDcard to your computer , and then after unlocked bootloader copy it back
Thanks guys, but that doesn't restore any apps or their data.
I'll try the superoneclick.

My understanding is that you can unroot as needed, so I wouldn't consider rooting the S "destructive". There are instructions to be found easily that explain how to unroot your phone.
Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant -- disregard the above.
Can't you back up most stuff using MyBackup?

I think he means the wipe accompanying a bootloader unlock as being destructive.

Did superoneclick work for you? I'm also looking for a way to root my phone without wiping it with the possibility of unrooting it again after.

Actually I found another program that works even better (imo). It's called RootUnlocker and it worked for both the Nexus S running 4.0.3 and the LG Optimus 2x running 2.2. However, it didn't work for my Acer a500 but there's currently no method to root 3.2 on it. You need to down grade first.

Hey.
My phone: Htc One X is rooted, and a software update just arrived, if i update, will i loose the root?
Or will it in worst chase get bricked?
I regulary update over the air.
Will this remove the root? and must i unlock bootloader and all that stuff i messed with over again if i need to root again?
I wouldn't do that if I were you, you could loss root and have to start all over, and maybe brick your phone, I would wait and see if a dev for this phone could make the update into a Rom, that would be the safe way to go

Ok, but if i want to unroot, and i manage to unroot it, would it then be able to update? or will it then brick?
Cause i like to have my devices up to date.

Ok, what is the most simple way to unroot?
Is it just to delete SU folders and root folders? or must i do alot of CMD flashing?
Superone click, or flash a ruu wich is a completly stock Rom with stock recovery
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
So wait...let me get this straight. You got a $600 phone and decided to root it. You had no clue what you can and can't do with root up to and including an update. And you rooted your phone without knowing how to get back to stock. I am guessing you don't know how to get back to stock because you used a one click root method. WTF would you root $600 phone for if you had no clue what you were doing, and obviously incapable of reading how to reverse what you have done? This is the problem with one click root methods. You get no understanding of the Android system at all. Can I ask, what was the reason you decided to root??
i did not use oneclickroot, but the tool that xda has as an all in one tool for one x.
I rooted to get the fraps smiliar app screencast but it does not have support for tegra 3...
So yes, if i get it back to its original state, i will not attend any more root anymore.
So please, help me get it back to stock painless

Ok, so to get it back to the state when i got the phone and to be able to update painlessly, i have to flash it with a backup stock ROM?
Bump.
