rooting!

just installed gingerbread on my htc desire hd. and now my root has gone. i know VISIONary wont work on this yet so is there any other way to gain root access??

Hard to say. Sometimes official updates are designed by the carrier along with the manufacturer to disable any root access. If it was an update that required a wipe first, then definitely root will be lost.
Sometimes it's better to find a ROM that has a great reputation for frequent updates and stick with them, however, if you've lost root thanks to the latest update then you may be waiting a while for someone to figure out how to root this latest update to your phone unless you made sure to get something on there like RA that will let you wipe the phone and restore from a previous nandroid backup.

Gingerbreak...
hey could u please explain to me how u installed the gingerbread on ur htc desire hd...i have an unrooted one so idk if its possible to install the new gingerbread RUU but my downgrading process keeps failing (CID Error). I've got my phone running on 1.84.720.3...if you could please help me I would really appreciate it.
However, I've read around the forum and people are claiming that you can reroot your phone with Gingerbreak. Im not sure exactly how..im really new to this but im sure you can find out how to use gingerbreak by searching for it...

you mean the CID on making a gold card. how are you making the gold card?? with hex editing or with a software that does it for you?? i found i had the same problem so i used a hex editor, then worked first time. whats your email, i will send you all the links i used

finally got it to work. Now officially running gingerbread have u tried to gingerbreak? Also is there anyway to restore the applications from the SD card to the phone without the apk file?

well im not quite sure about the apps as i havent really messed around with it myself yet :/ i have tried doing the gingerbreak but came across a few problems, but i will carry on and keep trying how did you manage to sort your CID issue??

Yeah finally got the goldcard to work haven't tried to gingerbreak yet...not sure if its worth rooting since I already have gingerbread with sense running...any reason I should root?

Will update still allow having root?

I got my wife the Samsung galaxy plus 7 for her birthday today and it's saying that there is an update for it. I'm not sure if its ok to except the update or not, because eventually I would like to get it rooted. Also, I read that in order to get root, you must first update the kies. Sorry for possible a simple question to some, but what are kies?
Thanks,

hey it is safer than safe to update it is infact encouraged to update at all times as updates are made to fix manufacturer bugs and/or issues that may be present on the device weather you have noticed them or not they will be present for sure like the SOD issue Screen of death a bug that makes your device shut down and/or reboot randomly with no control...this is a manufacturer bug and an update will be required to remove the issue from the device. so basically you will need to update on the device and with the Samsung kies (kies is a software that you will need to download from Samsung just search it on Google to learn more and to download kies is universal to all devices supplied by Samsung and i would also like to recommend not rooting your device until you are experienced enough to repair any damages you may encounter on the way if you do lol.
the purpose of root is to gain more advanced control of your device and/or install a custom ROM on the device (but we don't have any custom roms as of yet as Samsung will not release the sauce code) if you need any help and i will help you. if this post help you please press thanks button

I've rooted many devices and understand the consequences that comes with it. What I was wondering is, if I except the update will I loose the option of gaining root.
I had this happen to me before when the wife decided (I was still in bed) to accept the update to her evo. So while she had to sit back watching me change rom's, making backups, she was stuck running the stock os for a while. I do understand that at present there aren't any rom's, but I would still like to use TB, ad blocker and everything else that comes with having a rooted device.
Thanks for your reply,

The way that Garyd9 made the root script; by pushing it via recovery in a chroot environment; it should be safe to accept the updates. Unless Samsung changes the base recovery gary9d's method should always work.

yes you can still get root i have the latest update by kies and i have rooted meany times on the device after messing it up LOL. i would recommend using the root and clock work mod combo its stated not stable but i have used it for moths and have backed up 100s of times and restored lol

[Q] What order should I do this?

My Infuse (ATT) has been freezing up and acting stupid for a very long time, so I figured a factory reset would fix it. Then I learned about rooting, which I plan to do. I don't know how long the warranty is, but I am sure it is over. Then I read about some backup program that remembers all your settings, so I like the sound of that. But if I'm resetting due to a jacked up fone, do I want to back it up? Should I just go for the reset, root it, set up everything like I want it, then back it up?
Should I root first, then do the reset? Should I root it, then reset it? If I wanna add a ROM later, should I back it up first and add the ROM last? I have insurance on the fone with ATT, will this negate the need for insurance? I mean, if it's rooted will my insurance be void as well?
Gonna do it tomorrow, I have the Kias mini and the superoneclick and a PC.
Thanks.

What I recommend is to follow beanstalk ROM.
There is instruction from gingerbread.
If your phone is passing hard, then you might want to format your internal SD card. Sync with your Google account so it can back up contracts and apps.

Ok, I don't know what "follow beanstalk ROM" means.
I don't know what "instruction from gingerbread" means.
I don't know what "passing hard" means.
The only thing I know about gingerbread is that it won't root with superoneclick.

I think he's referring to this instruction list.(read all of the first post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129
To answer some of your other questions, the backup program I think you're talking about is called Titanium Backup(you need root to use though), I would recommend following the tutorial in the link I posted. If you root your phone; yes it will void your warranty but if you ever need to take your phone back you can reset something that's called a flash counter that will make your rooting it untraceable. If you still don't understand then let me know and I'll try to help you out further...

Thanks, that link looks like instructions to add a new ROM, which I will probably do after I get this fone sorted. Since I can't update to Gingerbread and then root with superoneclick, that sounds better anyway.
What I really need to know is if it makes a difference if I root right now, then hard reset my fone. The hard reset is necessary because my fone is constantly freezing up, I assume because I loaded too much crap onto it over the year. My biggest problem is that if I turn on GPS and then set an address in Navigator, it will lock up guaranteed. It usually works after a reboot, but that is every time and it's about a 10 minute process just to get directions.
So do I reset the fone right now, then root it or can I root it first, then reset it, or does it matter?
Edit: I see superoneclick supports GB now.

First of all why did you open up 2 topics that are the same? And if you search for root on this forum you will see lots of topics so do some research and stop acting like a kid.

Root without tripping root? You mean knox! Try search the s7 forum for root and do some reading. No need to ask when there are so many topics bout this.

If you root correctly and don't mess with things that go outside of your knowledge, you should probably have little less chance of waking up with a bricked phone.
Things start to go bad when you touch things you shouldn't touch.

Good day.
Recently i rooted my phone, 5 day after i bought it. Installed TWRP and Xposed.
One and a half day after,without any reason, the phone started to bootloop. Without thinking, i sent the phone for warranty. 40 days later the same phone came back from Samsung, they repaired the phone without charging anything, as i am in a country that Samsung has to repair it even with knox tripped.
I asked here at XDA if it was root that bricked the phone and the response was that most probably it was Xposed or a module that made that, and i could repair it at home.

its sound so good that Samsung repair the phone even with knox tripped .
and about Xposed, i dont interested in install it, i wanna just delete some pre charge apps and flash volumen mod. nothing more
NOTE: Wich metod do you use to root ? thanks you

For now i have not rooted my phone,and i froze all my bloatware with an app called "ez disabler". I only miss root because of titanium backup and Lucky patcher.

Good day
Sorry, i did not see the NOTE part.
I rooted my phone through TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770).
I don't know if there is any another way.
