Hey guys, I was wondering whether there is a rom out there that has been rooted, but otherwise has had nothing else changed? I like the custom roms and everything, but something somewhere never quite works properly. Any suggestions?

You can't just root your phone...?

Well, I have the Vodafone crapware on my ROM, so I just want a good stock rom that is rooted. For my old Hero there were a couple around that could be flashed very easily.
I'm using virtuous sensation v1.0.1 and its pretty much the same as stock. Very fast and stable.

Ahh I guess I don't have to start a new thread to ask my question.
All I want is for me to be able to use titanium backup to remove bloatware, rom manager to back things up, and change the pink bootup T-Mobile crap. Will I simply be able to root, add those apps and proceed?
Thanks for the help in advance

yes, you will be able to root.
1.) s-off
2.) permRoot
you don't need titaniumbackup to uninstall bloatware. simply use the rootexplorer. navigate to system/app and delete that apps you don't want to be on your phone. but don't forget to mount r/w. and before you do so, make a nandroid backup!
How do we perma root without screwing up our WIFI, yet stay with stock ROM? Seems NO ONE has addressed this here on the forum. Suggesting a custom ROM is a bandaid solution.

What are you talking about? Just above here in this thread people said you can simply to S-OFF and then root the phone without changing the ROM at all?
It doesn't break wifi...

No where did they mention how to root. Many people are losing their wifi doing the regular method that is in the massive guide, so they wind up going back to stock. It is not guaranteed to mess up wifi, but if it does, you are just unlucky. (As of now).
I would like to know how others are rooting (perm.) without having these issues.

I think the responses in this thread pretty much sum up why we want a rooted yet otherwise untouched ROM. From my flashing experience in the past I have found it *extremely* difficult to find a ROM where everything just works. Some well meant tweak always ends up causing some bizarre problem somewhere down the line.

Fair enough - I just flashed the root zip that the Revolution guys linked to and haven't had a single issue.
EDIT: actually it looks like this is solved - just use the correct (newer) su zip as shown in this post
This tool will automatically deodex your AT&T One X if its rooted and has Busybox installed (one click root tool already does all of this for you). This should make it easier for folks to install modifications since we don't have a CWM .zip of deodexed files quite yet.
http://briefmobile.com/auto-deodex-tool-for-htc-one-x-att
Also, developers are encouraged to take a look at the batch commands. You guys can make custom ROM installers and such with very little effort. This will work until we have CWM.
Edit: Linux version thanks to JeepFreak! http://www.filefactory.com/file/58m4z62jgn51/n/linux-light-deodex_tar_gz
JeepFreak - This currently only works for the 1.72.X releases. It has not been successful on the leaked updates.
Downloading right now.
Will report back with results.
Edit: links are broken.
I click to download it, and says page not found
Oops, didn't realize previous poster had edited to say it.

Will test this out as soon as links are back up. will report back for any issues.

It should work on a Rogers device, although you guys already have CWM (which is much easier/less messy). You can certainly install busybox through the market if you're rooted.

Deodex is a success.

Total noob here and had to look up what Deodex does. If this article is correct, then this is mostly just useful for theming? Otherwise what would be the benefit of this?

yep, Im converting my rom to this. So be patient for another hour
EDIT: Currently testing the batch...
Worked perfectly!! Full deodex on at&t hox
how is deodexing a rom going to give you anything else than whats already on your rogers device?
So flash our CWM then this tool?
caution-
just a kind word of caution to fellow users:
the first time i ran this i got a soft brick, probably because i was already partially debloated.
however,
i flashed the stock RUU, rerooted, retried this program and it seems to have worked just fine. thanks for the tool!

Hi guys, I am an iphone user and Just started to use Android so dont know much about it. I have couple of problems please help me to solve them.
1. I Installed Android ICS 4.0.4 after rooting Inspire 4g and its working now but whenever i run few app it reboots. I tried to run Temple RUN 3-4 times but my phone reboots. Please help me to find the way.
2.- Now its not rooted. Would you please help me to know how to root now this Inspire 4G with ICS 4.0.4.
Regards
1. Which ROM?
2. How did it get unrooted?
I Installed this Rom and i have done nothing after that i dont know how to unroot or whatever.
update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed.zip
would you please let me know what to do? It reboots and dosent look stable for me.
Regards
That's because that is not the latest version. Where did you get it? It is actually really old. The latest version is on this phone's development forum. Usually I would tell you to read more and search for the link, but I'm feeling nice today. So I'll give you the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820. And I'll give you a friendly warning: around here and around most Android hacking forums, we expect even new users to read and research a lot for themselves instead of flashing things willy-nilly. Look to the link in my signature for some new user help. And remember to full wipe.
Also, I4G users can flash Desire HD ROMs. So you can try that forum out too. It's more active than this one.
I got it from google. and would you please let me know what to do? Can you give me the link of latest rom of ICS 4.0.4 link which will work on Inspire 4G and how can i root this 4G now? because i cant install your rom without Rooting.
Thanks

Well, you haven't answered the question of how it got unrooted. Not knowing how that happened, I don't know which of several solutions will work. For the rest read my edited post above. And look generally to the I4G and DHD Development forums for ROMs. Don't randomly flash stuff from Google. You run a pretty high risk of bricking your phone.
Hi bro, Thanks alot for your time, i am downloading this aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD.zip rom right now. and I just checked my iphone and i can see the recovery mode after rebooting my phone. but when i install root check app and it says your phone is not rooted. so any Idea what to do?

Er, your iPhone? Do you mean your DHD? You probably got your Superuser app deleted somehow from your current ROM, I don't know how, but once the ROM is flashed Superuser should be back, since the ROM will have it. Make sure you full wipe first, which means wiping or reformatting system, data, and cache (the exact method differs depending on your recovery). This will erase any data you have.
Also, did you use AAHK S-Off or HTCDEV bootloader unlock? The flashing method differs. And by the way, calling either option "root" is a misnomer. AAHK S-Off lets you flash anything to your phone. HTCDEV bootloader unlock lets you flash certain custom ROMs. They basically unlock hardware. Root is software. It usually comes with a ROM, though you could push the relevant Superuser.apk and su binary from your computer with adb if you really wanted to do so. You just can't flash a ROM (and usually people are looking to flash rooted ROMs) unless you have unlocked hardware with AAHK or HTCDEV. Look at the link in my signature, which has a very good guide on post #7, for more detailed information that you should probably know before you go mess with your device any further.
Yah Sir, my Inspire 4G had 2.3.3 as you know that and i did use AAHK to unlock bootloader before flashing 4.0.4. and as i said earlier i am using it now but rebooting. I do understand my questions frustrate you because i am noob.
What i am trying to ask you now that the link you have given me the latest rom one, Can i flash this one straight away after downloading because i have used AAHK before installing 4.0.4?

It should be rooted. Do you have an app called Superuser or SuperSU? And yes, you can install paid apps on any ROM, rooted or not.
yes bro, I can see the app called Superuser in Inspire 4G now. So its mean i can install paid apps for free now?

...Um, no. Paid apps are still paid. That doesn't change with root. And XDA does not condone pirating. I meant that you could install paid apps in a rooted ROM just like you can on stock.
When you jailbreak an iPhone, you can get paid apps for free..that's probably what he meant or was curious to know

Well, he can pirate apps on Android all he wants regardless of whether he's rooted or not. Whether he should is a whole other question.
Well, I am agreed with MissB. Rooting the phone goes far beyond hacking 5 bucks apps. If the only reason is that he wants to pirate apps, then he is in the wrong place.
Besides, he needs to read a bit more before messing or infect with a virus his phone. Most of the apps have a lite version that is as good as the paid one with a little restraint on the features.
I reinstalled cm-7.2.0-ace.zip because ICS was a bit laggy and wasnt working fast. So i downloaded cm-7.2.0-ace.zip this rom and installed but I dont have Martket or google play icon in this rom. would you please let me know how to download and from where i can get it.

Flash gapps.
Did a search in the GSIII forums and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I am asking here.
I am rooted/unlocked on my GSIII running 4.1.2, and want to delete the bloatware I feel is unnecessary. Is there a way for me to do this without flashing a new ROM or kernel? If so, how, and if not, is there a stable glitch-free stock ROM out there that someone made that already has the bloatware removed?
If not, I will just flash Jelly Beans v.15 and call it a day.
Do you utilize OTAs? If so don't delete bloatware, you won't be able to OTA, freeze the apps. If you don't care about OTAs I use Titanium backup pro to delete system apps.

Ah, ok. This is the first phone I am rooting/unlocking, and until now I have used all the OTA updates. I guess I have to make a choice, and proceed from there. Might as well flash a ROM if I'm not gonna use OTA, right?
I would never take an OTA. Just flash a ROM and be done with it. An OTA has the potential to lock your phone up where you will never be able to flash anything again. The ROMS will give you the same update with a lot of added options without that risk.

You can use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall bloat. I recommend freezing, since you can enable something if needed.
Or you can flash CleanROM. No bloat, and very stable.
I believe I found this list on XDA:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE#gid=0
I tried doing this before, using the list from the last post.
I found that the best solution (if you want to keep TouchWiz and all) was CleanROM. Fast, free of bloatware, and not changed too much from stock.

LOVE CleanROM. I tried a few others (Beans, Smooth...) for a few days each, but CleanROM is hands down the best ROM I've ever used. It's my DD and I haven't regretted that decision ever.

are there any hiccups/glitches with cleanROM? and do i need to (or should i) flash a kernel along with it?

I haven't found any hiccups. I've been using it since January.
Don't ask me about kernels, though. Lol. I know enough about rooting to possibly get me into trouble, and I can flash ROMs, but start talking about kernels and I get cross eyed.
Oh, and I flashed Andy Bones' AOSP Theme. I'd had Kinda Crap Mods, but it wasn't compatible with CR6. It may be now. It's like the best of both worlds: CleanROM gives you Touch Wiz, the mods gives you the Vanilla Android look that I prefer (because the colors of the Touch Wiz notification bar are UGLY).

Forgive my ignorance but I'll keep this simple. I'm on 4.4.2 s-off and rooted. I'm wondering how to upgrade to the latest firmware without losing my data or s-off by using twrp. I'm no girl scout, I've taken a break of Rom developing & nodding. I've been declining the ota for over a year and 69x times a day. And for the life of me I couldn't find a solution today :/
