The only thing you have to do is read, follow instructions and make sure the proper files are in the proper locations.

Thanks haven't seen that before. Would the sdk and drivers from my incredible work? I can use adb on her phone. My problem was I can't even get temp root

Yes. SDK and drivers from HTC incredible SHOULD work. If you can get adb you're half the way there.
Please post the errors/problems you are having with getting temproot.

Not sure on the visionary method... All I have read on the G2x forums pertains to using a computer.
Visionary only pertains to those HTC devices with that nand-protection You'll need a computer to root
Ok I found one to use today after work... Damn we don't have much development support for this phone...

Ok it my thunderbolt I want root

Not really sure what you're asking but both of the root methods used for the thunderbolt require the use of a computer. I personally recommend Jcase's method because it gives you insight to the way the tb works and basic adb experience.

It is actually possible to root without a computer. Apps like z4root work, but I can't remember for which devices

It works only on devices vulnerable to the exploit it uses. This is not one of those devices, hence the answer of no.

You are correct sir. I was just letting him know that certain phones are indeed able to be rooted without a computer

Do u have your phone plugged up in debug and charge only if your on stock rom? Then once u open aahk it should be in that folder.

No such file or directory
Hi. This is my first post on here so don't go too hard on me, but, I'm trying to root my HTC Inspire 4G using Advanced Ace Hack Kit.
I'm reading/using the effen manual, and when it tells me to type in ./hack-ace.sh in Terminal it tells me there's no such file or directory.
I don't understand how this could be, because i have everything installed.
Can someone please help me out??
Thank you!
NOTE: I'm using a Macbook white running Lion 10.7.4
------FIX------
I simply dragged the file hack-ace.sh into Terminal and pressed enter and it worked!
No. Plug your phone in. With USB debugging turned on and in charge only mode. Connect it to your pc Then run ace. when it ask for the passkey open tools find Cajun.txt open it. It should give u the passkey if not use the irc channel if it work enter the number 1 press enter wait for it to finish this should take sometime 10 mins. Or so.

Please help me?

I made a not to wise choice and bought from a china store. The mini tablet I bought has no app market installed. I have download many "google play store '.apk'" files and they all install, when I open them, they crash RIGHT off the bat! I have done this at least 5-10 times.
If anyone...anyone... can help me, please let me know! Please, please, please.
Thanks a ton for anything,

Ok then, make sure its the correct play store for your Android version (GB gapps won't work on ics and vice versa).
And if you have a custom recovery, try flashing Google apps

Rooting methods are different for each device, but you should probably try using superoneclick or unlock root.
(You need drivers installed)

You can check this method but you nead to know if it is the right one for your android virsion first...

GOogle them, superoneclick is a .zip file you must unzip it and open the application, unlock root is an .exe just execute it. They both are one click root programs. Very simple.
And China phone companies don't have many root prevention security (they don't care) so either one of those should work

Nope, both PC applications. You have to connect your phone and run them.
They are two different applications, so if one doesn't work the other probably will. If neither work let me know

In order for the computer to recognize the device, it needs drivers. They used to come on a disk (way old school) but now they are usually online. Chinese tablets drivers are harder to find, but there has to be one out there. Try googling "<model> drivers"

That's the stock system recovery. Just used for wiping the phone and applying updates (if they ever release any lol). After rooting, its usually changed to a custom recovery for phones that have enough development, which allows way more options. But that's another matter.
If you REALLY cannot find the drivers (I couldn't either, could barely even find the model.) then your only chances are to root with gingerbreak or z4root, but both were meant for Android 2.3 and below. They're applications, so couldn't hurt to try them, but by now there is a very low chance.
SoC and UR both work amazingly well, maybe you could try contacting not the sellers for the drivers but the manufacturer (chinavision?)

What are 'SoC' and 'UR' ? If I root it with one of those, will it become Android 2.3?

Oh sorry for not clarifying, they're just my abbreviations of super one click and unlock root.
Rooting won't change your operating system, its just that methods meant for older versions of Android, like gingerbreak, probably won't work.
