Hi,
Phone in question is Tmobile G2
I have had temp root access for sometime and used it to freeze apps that I did not trust/etc.
I had wanted to get perm root but the wiki instructions were a little bit too haphazard for me and I did not wish to have to downgrade off gingerbread.
Someone said there was a newer way that did not require a downgrade and you unlocked the bootloader from htc web site. Well I did that and somehow it's mucked up temp root access as Titanium no longer works.
How could unlocking bootloader screw this up?
Think I am ok now. It was superuser that was messed up. New version requires yes/no (or default set to yes) before Tbackup will get root access.
To anyone else with a G2 that was frustrated with these unclear wiki instructions/downgrading/etc:
It appears that unlocking the boot loader does in fact give you perm root access.
Go to htcdev to unlock your phone. You will need the superuser app but that should be it.
Now just need a good firewall to stop these programs from using my data anytime they please. Any good recommendations?

So....alpha rev has managed to attain permanent root on the htc incredible 2. a locked phone.
is it the same locking mechanism and will the root processes of this phone give us hints about to go about rooting sensation?
FINALLY.. A Q&A SECTION!! CHRIST.
Back on topic, i'm wondering the same thing. I HIGHLY doubt it though since no one has even found TEMP root for our device yet. We need to at least get temp root before anything.

We shall see maybe the same team will start working on the Sensation
no one will or can root the sensation until htc sends out the update that will unlock the bootloaders, sorry guys. with the bootloader locked, there is no way to get s-off and no phone has the same rooting method.
The problem is that to gain permanent root - we first need to get temp root.
As of this moment - getting temp root is impossible since HTC patched it.
So our hope is to figure out a way to get temp root, in order to get full permanent root on the Sensation.

Not entirely true. The G2 had a locked bootloader and came S-on, so did the MT4G. Htc never released a S-off bootloader for either. I believe both were done with ENG boot leaks.
The difference is the sensation is a signed bootloader which is different than either the g2 and the mt4g
Yeah thats correct, the G2 and the MT4G have the same rooting methods, and we got the bootloader unlocked but finding an exploit which powers down the eMMC chip and allow us to turn S-OFF
how can i unlock the root on a samsung infuse
please use the search bar and read many threads before posting.
that doesnt make any sense. what are you trying to do?
unlocking and rooting are two different processes. one requires the other.
if you're looking for help rooting, or unlocking, see the development sections. there are walkthroughs for both.
This is the problem with this forum

Unlock, Root, and Return to Stock
To unlock your phone - that is allow you to put another carrier's sim in your phone, check out android.jakaar.net/infuse-unlock-sim.html
The above method to unlock the phone does NOT require your phone to be rooted. The method will use a shell root (temporary) to acquire the unlock code.
If you want to root the phone, check out this page: android.jakaar.net/infuse-rooting.html
If you want to undo your root - that is make the phone completely stock again, you can always flash it back with Odin. Go here:
android.jakaar.net/infuse-return-to-stock.html
Or, you can download the SuperOneClick and click the "Unroot" button if all you want to do is unroot the phone. The link above for how to root your phone will contain a download link for SuperOneClick

What I would do is a clean re-install via PCC/SUS to the latest firmware-that way the the root files are cleaned up, then root via the method faizalotai has linked to.
Also you may want to refrain from using VRoot. Apparently it was deemed risky on XDA recently, I can't find the post saying so but am sure I've read it somewhere.
rooting and bootloaders have nothing to do with each other.
you can root and not unlock the bootloaders
or
you can unlock your bootloaders and not root
Rooting gives you admin level access on the phone, to change system files and access stuff a normal android phone can't unless rights for applications can be elevated to root.
Unlocking the bootloaders allows custom kernels that are flashed to the phone to boot.
Im looking to root but without wiping my One S and I cant seem to get it. Towel Root doesn't work and neither does framaroot. Toolkit programs to do it via PC end up requiring bootloader unlock which will wipe the phone, but I simply just want to root. Htc QuickRoot tool says my phone is patched so that much im aware of. Im just wondering if any other methods have been introduced to help with this. Thanks.
I've been wondering the same thing, I don't have a pc so my options are none right now
I saw two different threads and thought that they could be used jointly to get permanent root with a locked bootloader, can't try on my own, need suggestions first

The above post lets 4.4.x devices get temporary root without system write access, after getting temporary root, can safestrap be used to get permanent root?
