Database Info

custom rom, root, ... general questions

right now i got a branded sensation. so far im quite satisfied with it. the only thing is, i would be glad to get root f.e. to get to the database file for the sense weather to add new locations.
for me i dont really need any custom rom by now. its my first android device and as said i like sense so far.
as i read through here, i think the problem for now is to get root on the device. if this would be possible, flashing new roms would be possible right?
so my question is:
is it more problematic to get root or to get a new rom? if htc will open the bootloader, will it be possible to get sense with root automaticlly? or is it still needed to find a way to get root in htc roms?
in custiom roms there should be no problem to get root right?
sorry if this all sounds lame or something but as said, this is my first android device. it try to read as much as i can
thx in advance for any answer!

I've got an error when I apply this but I can't tell you. What can I do?

pls sto pthat offtopic ****
i dont wann know how to do such things as by now it isnt possible. i just want to know if there will be unlocked bootloader, is it automaticly possible to get a root enabled stock rom?
or do we still need another way to get root on stock roms?

No. Unlocked bootloader will not automatically mean you'll get root. It's only a way for us to get root by another software running in the backround..
HTC already confirmed an unlocked bootloader in the near future..
For an offtopic discussion, custom roms will allways be better as they have no bloatware and includes tweaks to lots of stuff like ram management, oc kernels, gfx patches, deodexed and so on...
I hope this answered your question and please try to be nice on the forums.. people tend to reply nicer that way...

i was nice all the time just said stop that ot things.
READ MY POST: I KONW IT ISNT POSSIBLE NOW AND I DONT ASK FOR A METHODE TO DO ANYTHING LIKE ROOT OR CUSTOM ROM!
so isnt there a way to modify android and/or sense to get root on the stock fw? thought both are open source.
for sure this still requieres an open bootloader and maybe someone would say even this would be a custom rom

Android really isnt fully Open Source, HTC Sense and their phones aint Open Source.. Even if it is running Android in the bottom, HTC owns Sense UI.
The bootloader is pretty much locking you untill it gets hacked or HTC releases its opened one..

You labeled the topic GENERAL questions, but didn't see fit to place it in the GENERAL or Q&A forum?
This is in no way development related.

daSn00p, please buy an iPhone. Android isn´t for you. You can´t sure, you don´t know how to use an form - you are the perfect iPhone user

[REF][ROOT] Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit)

First off, thanks go out to: CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD!
A couple days ago I tested DoomLorD's Xperia X10 Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0](zergRush Exploit) on my windows 7 vm after using my [Heimdall][UVKJ6] Back-To-Stock Heimdall One-Click.
Today I was also successful rooting from my debian linux vm using methods 2b and 4 from this page: [HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method)
If you are feeling squeamish, there is also a noob friendly guide in pdf format available.
I hope you find this useful.

Cool. Gonna try it on my dads phone and come back. Thanks.

Great! Let me know how it goes.
I saw another thread where they had taken the same process, but ported to mac and linux. I might test that as well, and if it works, I'll update the op.

Does this work better than SuperOneClick?

Well, I guess the SuperOneClick in the new link in the op now also uses the zergRush Exploit.
Anyways, thanks go out again to CrimsonSentinel13, paxChristos, and DooMLorD for their great howto, guide and hacks!

Hey, cool! I wanted to try a smaller set of testers at first
I'll post in the dev section after I get some testing.
For me, so far so good. Almost an hour on the new kernel.
You know you don't need this thread if you use that kernel.
If you feel like testing, check out: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11298-beta-kernel-testers/
Nothing fancy going on yet. Just stock kj6 from source with cwm+voodoo lagfix. I just want to build up a QA base for testing changes.
Don't comment about the kernel in this thread. If you don't have a rootz login, please PM me if you find problems.

Waiting upon responding.

Your both in the wrong forums. Good look for a forum for your specific phone or tablet.

Hey guys few questions, thanks.

First off please don't flame me, I've been on XDA for years an am by far not new to this. I know the procedures and I DID search and try to find these answers but am still a little confused so I would appreciate some help and I'd be very grateful please . I finally talked my buddy into getting an android phone and dropping iOS so he has the sensation and decided he wants to root and install custom Roms so I'm going to do so for him. He's on stock ICS and all the stickie threads for rooting I seen for the most part were last edited or not posted on since before the ICS update. I seen about the tool kit but just want to double check so I don't brick my buddies phone, could someone just link me to the newest method to root and flash recovery for flashing Roms for a phone on stock ICS? Once again my apologies as I know these noobie questions are annoying but my searching didn't help me . Thanks all!

The reason I'm posting is because its so complicated on HTC phones, Samsung is easy lol but I read the thread about how to do things but there's a million different things it talks about. It talks about s off and adb and all that, there doesn't seem to be a good guide in everything to do just to root and be able to flash custom Roms from straight stock from step one. Help please friend may be willing to donate after all said and done.

Desire S root with stock rom - which way is better?

As the title says: Which is a better (easier) method to root my Desire S and remain on stock ROM (with sense)? Unlock via HTCDev AND (a) QuickRoot or (b) Superoneclick.
I'm:
S-ON, Hboot version: 2.00.0002
2.3.5. sense 3.0
Thank you!

i wouldn't unlock it via htcdev because i'm affraid that if i bring it to repair one day (unrooted) they could have had evidence that it was rooted once and my warranty would have been voided.

I do not have time&will to do it otherwise. Just need root to run a really needed software and I have no energy to read all of 200+ posts on how to root without this apps.
If you would be so kind and write here a step-by-step guidance for me, I would appreciate it. I was sure that if I ask this in forum, people will get angry and told me to read the forum first before asking.
To sum-up: I am looking for the simplest method to gain root and remain on stock 2.3.5. rom with htc sense.

In the same bucket. Let us know when you find out.
I am in the dark with regards to S-Off, locked boot loaders and Hboot versions. I just what to be able to have recovery so I can play with custom ROMs and go back to stock should I have problems.

The problem is that you just expect somebody to do it all for you. If that is what you want then you can pay me $150 per hour by paypal and I will do it for you as if you were a customer.
Otherwise - do what you know you need to and read the damn forum - this has been posted over and over again, with step-by-step guides, so why on earth should anybody do exactly the same thing again just because you are too lazy or too ignorant to want to do it yourself?
If the software is that "Really needed" then it is worth you putting the effort in to understand what, how and why.

You asked for the process in your second post. Toxic-Hero answered you originally by stating that he wouldn't recommend HTC-Dev as a method of unlocking (especially true as there are other ways of doing so), and you then asked for a step-by-step guide

Help! Im a noob and probably ruined my phone.

(This is my first post on xda, so I apologize for any mistakes.) Help please! I have a boost mobile HTC One sv (k2_cl) and it is unlocked. I was messing around and now my phone wont boot up and the /int_sd wont mount. I was running the stock 4.2.2 rom and now apparently there is no OS installed. I read that formatting the internal sd would fix this but whenever i try erasing anything other than the cache, it fails. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate sub-forum for your device.
For future reference you can find your device sub-forum here (bookmark/subscribe this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-sv
Within that section you will find a dedicated q&a sub-forum (this is where your thread is going to be moved to):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-sv/help
Good luck!

For boost mobile you can use a Ruu which they released for the latest available Software.
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_NV_Boost_2.20_150_release_389346_signed.exe
This will delete all of your data and your bootloader must be locked, if you are S-on (only as an info, in case you have unlocked at htcdev.com to gain root access).
Your phone must be connected in fastboot mode with your pc, then run the Ruu on your pc and follow the steps.

sorry for the late reply. i tried that but the application kept failing

Are there any CyanogenMod ports for the HTC One SV?
I currently do not have that phone on me, but it was running the stock 4.2.2 sense 5 rom and I had tried to install viperSV without checking compatibility first. This was my first attempt at rooting and installing a custom ROM. Now I know better though.

No CM and i bet there will never be one.

? ? ? No devoloper for CM on ours SV ? ? ? ?

Nope it! But we desire it pretty much from the devs old.splatterhand, xpirt, modding.mind or brateloslava and people who spoke ✌✌✌

You are a little bit to late, for the party, One SV is over 2 years old.
If someone of the guys you named could/would do it, it would be already done.

Okay I see Further no update for this device
