Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to get a password from the standard android browser as i have forgotten what the password is but it is still remembered by the phone. Are there any plugins I can get or anything like that? And root apps that might do it for me?
Thanks in advance

I don't understand in the thread - what do I have to do?
1, You must be rooted.
2, Install SQLite Editor from Play Store
3, Open app, wait until all apps are listed
4, Tap Internet -> webview.db -> password
5, All your passwords stored in default web browser should be listed there
I just tested it on my Desire S, and found my stored facebook password
Thanks, what is the easiest way to root my htc desire s? S-on 2.3.5 and latest hboot i think
If you are not rooted yet, it's irrelevant to root now, because you will loose all your data during downgrade and rooting.
Check my signature btw, i was also downgrading from latest RUU, S-ON, LOCKED, same as you.
But you have no reason to do it now, because as i said, you will loose your data.
Maybe temprooting and then installing the mentioned app would work.
But im not sure.
It's worth try in my oppinion. By temprooting you will not loose anything. After rebooting the phone, it will be in it's previous state, untouched...
As i said, check link in my sig.
The 1st step, but don't push misc_version, you don't need to when you are not going to downgrade.. Push just zergrush, or tacoroot, depending on your SW version.
Better wait for someone more experienced, as im still prety new here, and don't want to make brick of your phone.
Thanks - but I think I have found a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496 What do you think to this?
Big No No, from me.
Someone in that thread commented and said, that you have first to unlock your phone via htc-dev unlock. Unlock the phone officialy via htc site and according to their manual steps.
What does it mean to you ? You have to put your IMEI on the website, so they're absolutely sure, that you have been trying something with your phone and you loose your warranty. There's no step back.
Temprooting on the otherside, as the title say is temporary. After reboot, it's gone. In my oppinion - ideal for you. But i don't have unrooted desire s to test if SQLite will work.

Alternatively you can try this. Also picked from mentioned thread.
No rooting or anything. Just don't forget to turn USB debugging on.

I have already had my phone htc-dev unlocked in the past while trying to root before this tool was released. Would it now be ok to use?
And I would quite like to have my phone fully rooted

I thought that you mean this as "fully rooted".
Since not just flash custom recovery and then use SuperOneClick to push Su and Superuser app, or search for a flashable zip. This will give you root.

Because with the stock you will not be able to flash the su binary. Custom recovery has root access by default, contrary to your current one and the OS itself.
You can use zergrush from the guide you posted above but this approach involves more manual steps. Anyway each if the mentioned ways will give you the same result it is up to you to decide what will be easier to do for yourself
Btw Superoneclick automates zergrush and the su flashing so search for it. I think this is the most straightforward method

Yes, sorry for the messy explanation but there are a really lot of ways to root your phone.
If you use the Superoneclick you will permanently root your device with one button click. This is an application for Windows, just search xda for it
Edit: you bootloader should be unlocked to do this, so I hope you did not relocked it

Download and install it, then connect the deice as it is in the OS. Make sure that USB debugging is enabled in settings. Then select ZergRush from the dropdown menu on the right and click on the "ROOT" button. The app will do the rest and you will have root

This will make a folder and copy several files (that will grant the root access) to your system. If something fails you will remain unrooted at worst
So basically I have my nexus 5 and it’s completely stocked. I don’t want to root or do anything that could prevent me from receiving OTA updates?

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------
Obviously use the Nexus 5 4.1.1 ota
Be patient and receive the update directly from Google as an OTA within a week, or so. There might need to be a revision to this update, due to issues with the new radio seeming to not get good signal strength and so forth, which is why Goofle sends it out incrementally.

People need to search first, but that guide doesn't work for everyone.
My phone wouldn't reboot into actual recovery...it came up saying "No error" or some nonsense and wouldn't get into recovery. It makes the guide useless.

The guide is not useless. If you can't boot into recovery you're doing something wrong or your recovery is borked. If its borked you can fix it.

Oh, I didn't realize the guide explained how to fix it if something happened to your recovery. If so, I redact my statement.
(Obviously that's sarcasm and I don't redact my statement, since it doesn't do that)
My phone is completely bone-stock. I haven't rooted or unlocked. It doesn't boot into recovery using the method listed in the guide, and booting into the system menu and selecting Recovery just boots the phone normally for me.

Then your recovery is broken. Look at the how to flash factory images sticky in General and fastboot flash a fixed recovery.
Nothing to do with the fact that this is another OTA thread when there is an OTA sticky. The guide is not useless, your phone is.

And, as I mentioned, I haven't modified a thing on the phone. If my recovery is broken, it was broken from the factory.
And, again, the guide had nothing to do with that. If anyone else has the issue (which people are having, according to a few other topics I've seen), the guide makes no account for it -- for anyone with the issue, the guide is of no help.

I never said it was anything to do with what you had done or when it had broken.

And why would it? It also doesn't help people with a smashed screen or broken volume buttons. The guide is a guide to do what needs to be done on a fully working phone. It does NOT need to cover every fault that someone might have that prevents them doing the things in the guide. The fact your phone is broken bears no relevance to the usefulness of the guide. Besides, I already advised you what you could try to fix it.
Anyway, this thread is a duplicate and I have requested it be closed.

Hey
I have HTC desire s, which is pretty old (i'v had about three years now). In recent months it has started to run more and more sluggishly. After I re-downloaded a game that I played when I first got the phone I realized that my phone had experienced some power-loss, as the game that used to run smoothly now lagged. It wasn't so big deal as I do not play games with my phone so often, but now it feels like apps that I use and pretty much need like whatsapp and internet browser are also starting to lag more.
So now I am trying to find some way to restore my phone do the state it was when I first got it.
I have done almost everything that you can do with an un-rooted phone. (Ram,cache,apps...) I also did "factory reset" which actually seemed to help for a while, but soon the problem came back.
I tried also rooting my phone with super-one-click, but even I followed instructions "perfectly" and the app said my phone is rooted it actually wasn't.
I can try it again if it's necessary.
Thank you for Answers and I apologize for being a noob.

The toolkit provides steps to "Unlock bootloader" via HTCdev.com. You need it unlocked to root or flash a custom recovery.
PLS read exactly and keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader will reset your phone to stock. MAKE SURE you safe ALL your PERSONAL DATA before you proceed.

Hi. I am a noob at rooting. Which of your unlocking and rooting method should I use for a Verizon HTC DNA that is updated to its current version of Kit-Kat? Firewater? I just did a factory reset for a fresh start. I have not installed any "user apps." Basically it is cleaned. This is my first at rooting a phone, but I have rooted Kindle Fire once. I do know about the warranty. I would also like to know a method to unroot as well incase I want to go back for any reason. Need help as soon as possible.

Unlocking the bootloader is fully guided on HTCdev.com. You will need more steps like installing a custom recovery and a superuser app using the custom recovery. If your not sure about what to do, you can use Teamviewer and i will perform unlocking / rooting for you
This toolkit may also help you WinDroid HTC Toolkit
