[Q] Help with SuperOneClick?

I unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV; i tried SuperOneClick afterwards. At the first try the process came to a halt and the window didn't respond, then i disabled fastboot and tried again, the same situation occured. The process stops at the 7th step in SuperOneClickv2.2 shortfuse
My bootloader shows that it's ***UNLOCKED*** and S-On.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Is there another way other than SuperOneClick?
Do i have to format the SD card? Please Help.
Thanks.

Is the SuperUser app installed? If yes then the phone is rooted, which has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader, it is still S-OFF'd.
S-OFF and rooting are slightly different things. You need to flash a different bootloader to S-OFF it.

If it didn't work you can use gingerbreak which is an apk file you run from your phone

No there's no superuser app installed. The Phone's still in S-On State.

No there is no SuperUser app installed. The phone' s still under S-On State.
Can you tell me how to use gingerbreak to root the phone.

hello I'm also experiencing the same problem. Superoneclick do not respond when it reaches step 7. Pls comment if you have rooted ur phone already. thanks, i will be waiting for your result

Like I said, put it on your phone and install as a normal app. Open it and root your phone
Xda isn't letting me copy so you'll have to Google for it

I have unlocked bootloader, hboot 2.00.0002, s-on.
planning to install custom recovery but dont know yet which one is good

here you go. Let me know if it works

Did you try it out? Please tell me if you get permanent root.

If you have unlocked with with htc-dev it should give you perma-root

so how is it? did it give you permanent root?

It did not work, it shows a message- "rooting...running exploit... device will reboot on success". I waited patiently for about 6 minutes nothing happened then i closed it.
How long does it usually take??

Should be quick. Follow this guide. Might help you understand why superoneclick isn't working

Probably means you didn't do a full wipe.

Did you enable USB Debugging and are the drivers installed (NO HTC SYNC)?
Just enable them under:

Your were right... i haven't wiped the cache properly. Thanks a lot man. My DS is finally rooted with custom ROM (CM7). I do miss Sense, but its much faster. BTW i cannot seem to install Google Maps, it's not supported for my region. Do you know a way to install it by unlocking Google Play?

help with 1.85 root

Hey, so I got a HOX two days ago through att, and it came with 1.85, so I thought I was in luck, and could get it rooted. I've tried the one click root for 1.85 posted in the dev forums, but whenever I check for updates, it finds the 2.20 update and starts to download it instead of rebooting. I then have to do a factory reset to stop it from trying to get the 2.20 update. Am I doing something wrong?
I also tried to do the manual update, but the SDK doesn't work for me (it automatically closes whenever I try to open it to get the modules I need for the ADB). I tried all the solutions i could find for that problem, and none of them worked for me, so I'd prefer to get the one-click working, if it's possible. Thanks for the help!

I have heard the one click has issues now, but I know the manual works. You don't even need the sdk working, just use the version of adb in the one click root folder. You can find a download of fastboot if you search Google.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that before, but the ADB closes as soon as it launches, so that's a no-go for me, unless I can get that problem sorted out. Also, can't you only use fastboot if the device is s-off? I was under the impression that the HOX was shipped s-on from my forum searching, though I have yet to check my device myself

How are you launching adb? You can't just click the app itself, you actually have to run it in the command prompt. adb has to work on your computer, otherwise the one click would do nothing.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app

Oh man, I don't know how I missed that. Yeah, I was just double clicking to start ADB :/ I think I've got ADB working now, though now I need to charge my phone up before I try to root again. Thanks for all your help, hopefully in a few short hours I'll be back in root-land with a custom rom like I was used to on my HTC aria (liberty)

[Q] no bootloader, s-off, root under android 4.1.1

Hello,
I bought me a used evo shift 4g with android 4.1.1. Is there a possibility, to get s-off or root? I can't even get into bootloader (volume down and power). I already tried different methods, but nothing seems to work. Can anybody help me please?

Yes you can get s-off, look in the development section, there is a one click root. Since you have 4.1 on there I am guessing you are S-ON rooted?

If you can't get into bootloader, try enabling usb debugging ( Settings > Development), then connect your phone to your computer and download the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) from HERE
Open a command window in the place where you extracted the adb files and type "adb devices"
If your device is not recognized, download and install the drivers from HERE
After that, try "adb devices" again, if something like "HT8472JW76 device" shows up, then that's good
Now type "adb reboot-bootloader" and see if that gets you into bootloader
This is kind of a lot of work, but it definitely helps in the long run. Also, I would not run my utility until you have downgraded to 2.2 by running an RUU (all of them can be found HERE, 2.2 is the one that has the number "1.17.651") or by flashing a PG06IMG.zip through bootloader. The utility checks what version you are using, and if its anything other than 2.2 or 2.3.4 it throws an error, so just downgrade to 2.2 directly and then use the utility.
If you have any questions or if anything does not make sense, don't be afraid to ask

Do you have superuser installed? Or ROM Manager? You're problem is strange. Check out ROM Manager after you install superuser and see if it will let you install a recovery... I have never had S-On root I just know it's out there and you have to have some kind of root because you are not on stock. I am S-Off and most of the people on here are, so root that baby and get to flashing.

well, I know these things from my wildfire. I have installed superuser and also ROM manager but can'tget superuser permissions or install a recovery. But when I start the phone, there is not the original HTC-screen, but a custom-screen. So I agree with you, that I am not on stock - some kind of very strange. It seems to me, that all the root-tools only work with 2.3.x, so if i could downgrade, that might help as well.

The shift was shipped with 2.2 and 2.3.x so if you have anything other then that it was rooted to get to where you are. How you lost root is beyond any of us. And maybe beyond the guy that sold it to you. Pull the battery and place it back in hold volume down and power, that should be a sure shot at getting to bootloader, then take a picture and post that

Like strapped365 said, this is definitely a weird situation and I've never come across it myself. The best option would probably be to just run a 2.2 RUU and root from there. You can also check for root by downloading "root checker" from the play store, its by joeykrim (the free version will work fine)

If he can't get into boot loader its probably because fastboot is checked. In 2.3x its in settings/power at the bottom. I don't know about his though.

Check what was quoted.... Did I say that? no I did not, i said it don't just disappear. And before that I said the guy that sold it to him would know what was wrong.
Now if you delete your bootloader that's on you, and if you did it and didn't tell anyone then sold said phone, you would be the only one who could help someone in that situation. After you hangout here more you will notice a redundancy of posts because 90% of rooted users don't even deserve to have a smartphone let alone a rooted one, so they never know what their talking about so we try to push the core troubleshooting methods to get them to where they need to go. It's like calling sprint what's their first step? Factory data reset to give you a level playing field, here I just told the guy how to get into bootloader if there was a fastboot checked. Also I've seen so many users get the version of Sense mixed up with the version of Android so again we fall back to the core known methods of solving a problem. I've been with the shift since release so I've seen every failed ota by HTC and every moronic thing that can be done with this phone. But no matter how I told him to get somewhere all you new guys just take over like no oldies but goodies know......btw if bootloader is missing adb reboot bootloader wouldn't work either right? So again with the redundant instructions to get the the same place

Can not push recovery to HOS

Hi,
I recently relocked my HOS for the official JB from HTC. I have come to say it sucks monkeyballs. Now I tried to unlock, push recovery from TWRP and CM10 on my phone. Well, I can not do those things.
I can succesfully unlock my phone (wich it is now) but i can not push any recovery. It just stands there in Command Promt: waiting for device. And my device keeps in fastboot... I don't know what I can do
I have used Hasoon's tool, used it solely via cmd and fastboot. It just doesn't work .
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

2.20 htc one x AIO trouble..

I've been around the site for a good while and I love this place. I've been rooting phones and installing roms since my HTC tilt but I'm having an issue with this One X. I'm using the AIO and I'm on firmware 2.20 but I cant seem to the the bootloader unlocked using the xfactor exploit to save my life. Constant fails. I've tried different cords and computers as well deleting and reinstalling drivers. Just says failed and stays as CWS_001.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies. I've tried using the AIO kit using xfactorand the packaged xfactor root alone. Its a no go. The phone is in usb debugging mode so I just dont know. I've never had any real trouble in the past rooting phones. Infact, the phone I have now is the HTC Vivid and although the process of unlocking the bootloader was a test of patience, I still didnt have any issues. I just dont know..
