ill give it a try.
ill report tomorrow
Did you give it a try?
OK, I did, and it did not work. The script runs through correctly, and at the end, su is installed on the phone, but FCs when trying to launch. After a reboot, su is gone.
Fortunately it didn't brick the phone.
any updates on rooting the htc rhyme?

yea , doesnt work...
same thing like you tested...
My fiancee is getting this phone today. I'm going to try to use SOC etc, if not, I'm going to tap into ADB. The specs seem to be pretty similar to phones like the DINC2, etc.
the phone it self is very similar to the htc desire s, with little luck it can be rooted
uh bump xD
any news here?
id even donate to a working ROOT !!

HBOOT-1.30.0004
If u check in your bootloader
(and fast boot at energysettings off)
(phone off-> hold the VolumeDownkey and press the ON buttom at the same time)
my datas are
HBOOT-1.30.0004
RADIO-3822.09.00.08_M
eMMC-boot
--------------
Unlock the Bootloader w/ PermROOT:
steps:
1. Buttkick and Kill your phone-warrenty, by register and unlock your bootloader at
http://www.htcdev.com/
(even the device isnt in the "supported list" it still worked for me)
(if ur not familar with android development, it could take some time to DL and update everything (AndroidSDK, etc etc))
(PHONE WILL BE WIPED THEN; BACKUP/Save ur datas)
2. ZergRush it
(like posted here DooMLoRD_v2_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

*** unlocking bootloader from HTCDEV site is highly recommended for a permanent root solution***
1. enable usb debugging from settings - applications - development
2. plug phone to pc via usb cable - charge only
3. open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure)
PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. app does rest
4. After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
ALL DONE

3. After the phone has booted, you still cant see SuperUser in ur App list
But its installed ;P
how to fix that?
Go to the Market.
Search for the superuser app
You can see that you can "UPDATE" it.
do it.
Now everything is up2date and the app is in your applist again.
Root Done.
have fun
( System tuner, Titanium backup, LBE privacy guard, busy box, everything is working fine )
Of course it is working I have even updated my SuperUser to v3.0.7
We have root, and so what's next?
..I would say next step should be to apply for the HTC Android Rhyme Forum Section ..

Please place all of your discussions about obtaining root on the Evo Shift here.
Temp root:Temporary root can be acheived a number of ways on the shift the easiest being either z4root app or the visionary plus root app.
Z4root:
download here and install as you would any other apk
open the app and hit temporary root
let it run till you are notified of its success
you now have temporary root!!
*Note you have to reapply z4 each time you reboot your phone
Visionary:
full instructions and the link to visionary can be found here. http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
IMPORTANT NOTE!
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they patched the root exploit on the desire z when they updated you can most definitely expect them to do the same for the shift so please for that sake of everybody being able to get proper root do not accept any updates unless further notified!!!
unless you just dont care about root that is.....
so far, we got a temporary root.
No point in trying unrevoked as it scans for the device name and shows
"sorry, the device 'speedy' is not suppored" (paraphrasing)
wish i knew alittle more about this.
You can get to hboot by Holding down the vol down while powering on
Also in a previous thread bubby323 requested a dump of /system and dnalevelc obliged:
* http://www.digglesworth.net/evoshift/system.7z
In another forum (androidcentral) someone noted that an app called VISIONary works to auto temp-root the Shift upon boot.
* http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
Edit: Also there's code to temp root the G2 using a different exploit below. I haven't attempted to run it on my Shift. Possibly not relevant since it has a newer version but could be if an update is pushed to the Shift:
* https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/scotty2/scotty2/psneuter
got the shift today. MAN this thing is fast! i'd love to see unrevoked release a small update that supports the shift. otherwise i can do it the long way but i can't wait to see the scores once i get a custom ROM on it.
Visonary does work, I turned on temproot on boot and then i pressed temproot now and it rebooted the phone. The phone was either taking its time or got stuck on the 4G for 2-3 mins so I pulled the battery and started the phone up again. I installed connectbot and typed su and got a #. Tried the reboot command and it wouldn't let me so I went into root explorer and it prompted the su app, gave it permission and started hacking away at bloatware..... no luck, it still came back from the grave :\
I successfully Temp rooted with z4root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953) and I couldnt get the download off the market so I just went to 4shared.com and searched z4root and picked up 1.3.0 which is the latest version....
It worked great and I used Titanium back up and a screen shot app that both needed root.
does anyone think the rageagainstthecage exploit will work on this? i assume people are working on it? cause if it does, that means unrevoked3 could possibly release a new version with shift support, right? since unrevoked is just an automated rageagainstthecage, right?
edit: i mean, for permanent root, S-OFF.

yes, the rage exploit is what works and is what z4root uses. However I couldn't get the actual binary to work from the CLI using adb.

Even though we only have temp root partitions on the shift can be flashed using dd I won't go into exactly how to do it till I get home because the commands have to be EXACT!!!! Or u risk bricking your phone... I've had to ruu a couple times now

Great tip. It's just a matter of time now...
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

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.

Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
credits to this guide: http://www.zenilshroff.com/how-to-root-htc-sensation-android-2-3-gingerbread-smartphone/
1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.
2. Save on your computers desktop.
3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)
4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.
5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.
6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.
7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.
9. After installation completes, open the APK.
10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?
11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.
12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!
13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.
In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.
Yeah, but does it REALLY work?

Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.

Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.
It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********
It would be great if we could get this partial root. I personally don't mind not being able to flash custom ROM, but it is very important to me to be able to use some apps that require root permissions like adfree or titanium backup. From what I understand, this 'half-root' should not be very difficult to achieve cause it is not needed to mess with the bootloader for this purpose. The only requirement is to be able to uninstall htc sync for some time.
Here also a link detailing the differences between root levels and clarifying vocabulary. I am posting this cause it has been very useful for me to help understand, so it might also serves others..

How to Root HTC Sensation 4G
Posted on 19 June 2011 by Android Advice
These are the easy to follow instructions for rooting the HTC Sensation 4G. While we have had great luck with this method please be aware that you follow these instructions at your own risk. The HTC Sensation 4G is currently one of the most popular android phones of 2011.
Your device must also be s-off in order for the instructions below to work. Most of the Sensations are s-on although once we have found a way to turn s-off on all sensations we will add that to these instructions.
TAKE NOTE THAT THE HTC SYNC MUST BE REMOVED FROM YOUR PC BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. YOU CAN RE-INSTALL IT AFTER YOU ARE DONE ROOTING THE DEVICE.
Root Instructions for the HTC Sensation 4G:
1. Enable USB Debugging mode on your phone (settings … applications … 2. development … check USB Debugging mode)
3. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
4. Make sure you have an SD card formatted and in the phone
5. Transfer the APK on the phone and install it (download the apk here)
6. Open the APK and press the root button
7. Wait a few minutes and the device will reboot, be patient it can take a while (10 minutes or so)
8. Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
9. Congrats your HTC Sensation is Rooted!

I have not tested it because I don't now if this web page is safe, has anybody tested it ? ? ? Here is above mentioned APK (GingerBreak-v1.20.apk)
that cant be real.. what does the apk do?
Its not real, its already been posted and it doesn't work.
Phone needs to be s-off. So nothing interesting here. If you have an s-off phone you can flash a rooted custom rom and don't need gingerbreak
but if device is S-off doesn't it mean that it is rooted?
Correct (10 char)
But if you just want a "simpel" root and have no need for
flashing rom's and stuff, will it work then?

No, you still need android to be rooted with superuser and busybox installed. S-off just gives you permission to write to system and recovery so you can flash roms and a different hboot aka eng bootloader.
I was at least hoping for a temp root so we could at least disable the apps we don't need via titanium backup

Hi all
How do I check if my phone is S-ON or OFF ?
(new to sensation...)
Turn fastboot off in Power settings & power off phone. Then hold volume key & power button at the same time.
Thanks man, and for the quick reply...
I have S-ON, so how do I flash a custom ROM ?
you can't until we get an unlocked bootloader

You can't yet. We have to wait for the bootloader to be unlocked so we can root. HTC said they will send out an update or if one of the devs in XDA figures it out first. We just have to wait patiently.
O, bummer...
Is there an ETA ?

Find a RUU which main version is supported and higher than yours and flash it in the PD98IMG.zip way, that is what is the goldcard for. If you have a .exe RUU, then extract the rom.zip file using this method: http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-tv-2/how-to-take-apart-an-ruu-xdatv/

fre3vo is missing in the tools\tmp folder. That is the exploit that gains temp root. Try downloading the tool again and make sure that you disable the Antivirus first. Then, check that fre3vo is there...
Thank you for the quick respond. Sorry to say, but still no success. I had already made a copy of fre3vo from the AAHK-tools to your Easy Ace Root Tool and got the mentioned error. On my Netbook is no malware scanner running.
With a new download of your tool, including fre3vo, the error is still here. After copying the directory "tool" to the root of my PC I got a new exploit error 21.
My DHD has rom 2.3.5 and sence 3.0 and I found a link with the advice to downgrade this ROM. Can it be that this downgrade is necessary?
So I think something is not finaly settled.
Regards
Heinz

Downgrade Is not necesary To gain root access
I'm pretty new to this phone, I was hoping to put CM10.1 on it for my girlfriend. Will using this tool be enough to do that, or will I also need to gain S-Off? Thanks!

Yes. S-OFF will only be useful if you want to flash radios.

Alright. I probably don't need to do that. I have no idea what that does anyway.
So basically my steps are, use this tool and I'll have root+cwm, back everything up with TiB or something, and wipe and flash CM+inspiremod? And everything will be good, no need to change radios, whatever that does?
Seems easy enough
Thanks!

Read the OP. This is a root tool only. There is no S-OFF at the moment, if you are skilled you do it manually following the link in the OP.
UPDATE
New update. SU flashing in CWM for those who are experiencing issues with the perm root. Flashing is done manually but file is pushed to sdcard by the script.
You might want to add to the OP that unlocking the bootloader will wipe the internal memory. I didn't know this and ran the tool on my girlfriend's phone earlier today and now all her apps, contacts, messages, everything is gone. She's just a tad bit pissed at me. Oops.
Other than that though, the tool worked great!

Lol no problem. I should've assumed it would do that... It did on my Nexus, and everything got wiped. I just assumed that was a Nexus only thing.
Needless to say I'm in the doghouse now. No fun for me tonight

Just as a friendly notice the included touch recovery did not work for me and one other user that I seen. The non-touch version works just fine. I do not have this phone but was just helping a friend.
Have a great day
