As said above, just go to playstore and search for rom manager, by this way you won't brick your phone.

Even I'm unable to boot into recovery mode. I'm using the HTC One V.
I tried to boot into recovery mode by titanium backup, ROM manager, bootloader... But it just resets my phone.:crying:
You need to install recovery first by LGMDP or ROM Manager

Use Rom Manager and flash Clockwork mod
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
use rom manager with precaution go to a good coverage area then use it
but i suggest u not to use it
as of myself it took my phone to fastboot mode twice
use terminal emulator method
but u should be rooted
download any recovery image(google it) and flash_image(google it )
place the flash_image in /system/bin and change it permissions and then place recovery.img into /sdcard/
and open terminal emulator (download frm market)
and type
su
and press allow
now type the following
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and if i helped u press thanks
and dont use rom manager its too risky and i will say use amonra 3.0.6
insteade of cwm

Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.
So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.
According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?
"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.
I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.

So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.
I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?
Oh OK. I get it. Give a sec I'll post what you need.

Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated. Also look's like i will need to find the superuser file somewhere online. I believe it needs to be inside a .zip. If i need that can you please provide that info on the instructions. Thank you so much for helping me.

So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's

Im reading line 10 again and i think i need to install a custom rom first via flashboot then boot into recovery to install the superuser zip file. Read this again and tell me what you think?
10.

1. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom "recovery" = twrp partition via fastboot,
2. boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su
I think I'm spot on with my last post.

What would be the ADB shell command to install lets say a file labelled superuser.zip ?
I've never tried nor know if possible to flash a zip in fastboot. To the best of my knowledge it has to be a image file.

Does anyone have a root method and cwm recovery for android 4.1.2 stock? i was so excited when 4.1.2 OTA came out, i updated and now I can find a suitable method? I tried searching for a method, but I couldn't find any. If you could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appreciate it.
Download the superuser to Sd
Download the latest clocworkmod recovery
Reboot phone into bootloader mode
Open a command prompt, go to folder
Now execute this fastboot command to flash the CWM recovery. Change the filename to the file you have downloaded
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img
using the vol down key choose to go to recovery
Install zip from sdcard superuser zip file.
Reboot. You now have rooted JB
Basic root method.

Yes of course you need to unlock. I assumed he was. My mistake, I forget the bare basics at times.
Yes that guide works well. Just use a newer Clockworkmod http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
and super user http://androidsu.com/superuser/
The hardest part is PART 1. Many have issues with Device Manager and getting the computer to read your phone properly.
Use this http://junefabrics.com/android/
Use this guide for the drivers if necessary also

I've received the 4.4.2 OTA update on my phone and I lost root.
This seems to be common, and I re-installed CWM (and I also tried TWRP) custom recoveries and they both work fine.
However, SuperSU and the SU binary seem to be halfway installed/broken.
How can I fix it?
SuperSU says it needs to update the SU binary, and if I try the normal method it fails and if I try the TWRP/CWM method it doesn't do anything.
so you can't flash supersu via cwm?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
CWM wasn't asking to install SuperSU and I wasn't sure what to flash...
However, I just used the cf-autoroot boot image and it worked.
Thanks for the help!
You have to flash super su in twrp or cwm recovery. Not from the super su app
I just clicked on the root button in WugFresh toolkit and it re-rooted it for me... easy peasy...

So guys, what way should I use to root in your opinions, there are a couple that I know of, cm auto root, using adb, and recently TowelRoot (not sure if it works with 4.4.3)....but please share your opinions, and I probably need recovery too so share about that as well...

You cannot root with adb. fastboot is the best way to root It gives you the necessary tools and understanding required to not only root, but also fix your phone if you fubar.
Look for stickies in General
if you have drivers installed properly then extract this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cfqp9uvgzclbk4/Platform_Tools_Nexus.7z
download a recovery ( .img) and put inside that folder
open terminal there (shift+right mouse button>>>select open command prompt here)
reboot the nexus into fastboot mode, connect and type this
fastboot devices
(to see if nexus is connected)
and flash the recovery through fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot into recovery
and flash supersu from chainfire

Also, if your recovery image was Philz, you can just root directly from the Philz recovery menu
same as what gentlemen above said..
I keep SU.zip in a folder on my phone. I flash it everytime I flash a new ROM
BTW Koush's SU is opensource, you can get it here:

Yes if you're imeediately going to flash a ROM, no need to root your current rom. Just unlock the bootloader, flash recovery then from recovery flash a rom
Official CWM itself is pretty antiquated. The choice is between Philz advanced CWM (See signature) or TWRP and it is users preference really.

Btw I agree to some of what you said in other posts about rooting with adn without PC. Its great to be able to root easily but this in my opinion would make everyone root and stuff while I think rooting and Roms should be for android enthusiasts and what else.
Alright decided to go with cf auto root, pretty simple to go with and no need to flash recovery..
It is very easy but sometime try doing it manually it will be handy to learn the basic fastboot commands in case you softbrick your device which if your a flashaholic like me it will happen I've owned this phone three months I've softbrocked it 5 times
