Auto root.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-rooting-roms-hacks/77617-auto-root-unroot-windows.html
just passing it along. i know some are afraid to use adb i myself would recommend using it to know the basic of adb but if not well here it is. GL
i do know its a heated debate with auto and manual etc. don't hate the messenger.

I love auto-rooters for myself. I've done 3 different phones via ADB because I wasn't going to wait, but if I lose root for whatever reason, an auto rooter sure is nice.
I think everybody should root via ADB before they ever root with an auto rooter, though.

Nice find, thank you.

That soft bricked me so I did it manually

And to think I just did the manual root yesterday.. D'oh! Well, good to learn some of the stuff I did, I guess. Thanks OP for passing it along.
Anyone know if the 'unroot' process will still unroot if you rooted it the manual way?

Thanks will root my phone tomorrow using this

as far as I know, just loading the stock PG05.img (or whatever the name is) in bootloader will return you to stock
and, auto-root is great, but will lead to so many more of the "I bricked my phone" type threads from people that don't know what they are doing...

anyone interested in rooting should know how to access their phone via adb. if the auto root process goes bad, adb is the only tool available

Rooting manually via ADB or rooting via auto root?
That's a discussion folks should flesh out and really chew on. It's not been discussed enough here in the past and is a highly neglected topic that deserves many original posts such as the ones above this one. Let's get this debate going and see if we can tread some new ground.

Sucks
No matter what method of root I try to use it always says device error, so its not connecting, any suggestions?

I hear you. I rooted and flashed the hell out of my Nexus One but have held off with the TB. Rooting and flashing Sense ROMs on my N1 is what made me want the TB in the first place.
That said, I would like to use cache-mate and ad-free. This ROM is also tempting me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013577
I have to hold off tho. They are getting ready to flip the 4G switch in my area soon an I want to be stock when that happens because when I root I want to know how my device is supposed to behave when stock. That way I'll know if an issue I am having is a TB/Verizon issue or a flashed ROM/Kernel/Radio/root issue.
Rooting on the N1 was a no-brainer given the lack of app space and the urgent need for A2SD. Given the ability to move some apps to SD now, plus the TB's extra app storage space, the need for more storage just isn't there for me with the TB. And believe it or not, for me personally, flashing ROMs and kernels got old in and of itself. Every ROM is different, but I can never find the perfect one and always end up wishing I could cherry pick features from a variety of ROMs. I felt like a damn nomad going from one ROM to the next.

There is nothing to discuss.
If you are doing any type of hack you are doing so at your own risk,assuming all responsibility to anything that may happen to your phone, and you should take it upon yourself to learn, at the very least, the basics of adb and its command functions.
I am attempting to make the process as painless as possible, no where in my thread do i call it easy or simply . I call it auto root because its Automated.
I am not saying im not noob friendly because if you know me you know thats not true i spend many many hours helping people, im just saying that if you are attempting a hack that you should know what you are getting yourself into.

This is a connection problem, make sure HTC sync is installed. Make sure you are in debugging mode and it is set to stay awake, make sure you are in USB setting Charge only. Use the USB ports in the back of the computer
id none of that works, try a different,USB port, cable or different computer.

It was a joke man. It's been discussed here ad nauseum...plus, don't you think it's a little ironic that you create an auto root app where the user DOES NOT NEED TO LEARN OR USE one single manual ADB command, while at the same time preaching that users should learn ADB?
the only reason you say this stuff is to pay lip service to your developer clique about ADB and noobs, then you turn right around and give noobs a manual ADB free root app.
don't get me wrong, I appreciate it as much as anyone, but the irony is a little thick here.

this is automated for anyone, where does it say in my thread, this is for noobs?
so because something is posted or because its easy to use its automatically hypcritical? . this is for anyone. i know that if i return to stock that i am not going to want to have to type out every command just to root again.
so if what you are saying it true then no one should post anything that makes the process easy for other people.

Did you install the drivers?

Hey man like I said I appreciate it...but some developers on this forum drone on and on about how easy manual ADB is and that there is no need for automated root apps. If you already know ADB there is really no point in the automated app except to save, what, typing??
The automated app still takes almost as long...it just saves typing...and the risk of a mistake. That has been my point all along.
AGAIN, I highly appreciate your app and work...I just wish devs would stop harping on the need to lean ADB when it's not needed thanks to apps like yours. For whatever reason there is this clique of devs who think if you don't know ADB you don't "deserve" root access. It's lame.
But let's be real here: 90% of the users that will use your app are rooting noobs. The experienced users did it manually on day one.

im in no clique of devs i dont even know if anyone likes me lol. im not saying you should be an expert. but you should know how to use adb because at some point a problem may happen and automation doesnt let you trouble shoot very well. Im not hard core either way adb or no adb. but with any hack sometimes the only way to save yourself from a phone becoming useless is through adb..
thanks for the appreciation,,,,oh and not for nothing, i would rather watch a show then have to be putting in line after line of commands , then on commercial i can just flash the ruu

General tips to avoid destroying a rooted phone

I recently rooted and even though I did a ton of research, I destroyed my phone. So here are some tips to avoid turning your phone into a paper weight.
First thing you should do after rooting is create a backup. If I had done this I would still have a phone. To do this boot into recovery (look up how to do this for your phone) and go to backup, create backup.
DO NOT: Trust titaniumbackup to backup system apps or preinstalled apps. IT WILL NOT WORK.
DO NOT: Randomly uninstall system apps even if you do not use them. Many system apps are used for other applications or are required to run in order for the phone to work properly. Some system apps can be installed, but just research it before you uninstall. I found, the hard way, that it is safer to flash a new rom to get more space than to uninstall things that might be important.
If you flash a ROM and have issues with connectivity, internet, sms, etc., it might be because you have a CDMA phone and the ROM is meant for a GSM phone or vice versa. If you look at the back of your phone and you have an MEID number, you have a CDMA phone. If you have an IMEI number you have a GSM phone. If you think this might be your problem go to settings/about phone/phone identity and see if it tells you a IMEI number or an MEID number and see if it matches the number on the back of your phone.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me questions and I will try to answer although I am still somewhat new to all of this. If I helped be sure to click thanks.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

I'm sorry if I offended your far superior android abilities with this simple post meant for much less intelligent users like myself, but can I ask you why you are reading a post titled general tips if your expertise extend beyond anything general?
Also if a brilliant "expert" like yourself would have posted a thread like this before, in all likelihood I would not be in the position I am now.
I suggest you get off your high horse and start being a little more accommodating to people who are just learning this stuff.

So no one ever told you to only flash ROM's made for your phone? And you cant brick your phone by deleting system apps...you get force closes, go to recovery, reflash, good to go.

[Q] What's the best way to remove crap on ATT?

So, can someone link me to a simple, current guide to rooting and removing crapware? Bonus points if I can revert all changes so they can't screw me on my warranty.
I have an AT&T One X, purchased in the last week. I can post version info if necessary.
I want to ditch the yellowpages garbage and all the att garbage (wifi, navigator, cityid, etc) and probably twitter and facebook, though I don't really care if they're there. I'd also like to enable tethering if I can.
I had a ROM on my last phone (samsung infuse) which did all this, but I don't think I want to put a ROM on this one just yet. So, I'm not new to rooting, but I'm new to HTC, and new to removing/freezing bloat. I'm running linux.

Oh, and I saw the one-click root thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167
But I read that it makes your phone show *TAMPERED* and lock you out? That makes me terrified of running it.
Edit: Oh, and I have software number 1.85.502.3 710RD... I don't think it would work anyway.

Here are the two best places to start for this stuff:
Number 1
Number 2
Good luck!

You can disable them without voiding warranty. The only thing i couldn't disable was AT&T ready to go.

Because I obviously haven't been trying to use those. Seriously, these forums contain some of the most unapproachable instructions that exist, instructions that have the potential to brick your device, and if you ask for some advice on not getting your $600 device completely ****ed by them, you get linked to google. I help users of various open source projects all the goddamn time, and I never go HERP DERP LMGTFY.
So give real advice or just don't reply. It's not helpful or constructive, it doesn't make you cool, it doesn't even clean up the forums. If you know nothing and are posting to be a jerk, then you're just bumping my post for me. If you're deliberately withholding information and posting to be a jerk, then you're actively increasing forum clutter by keeping me around longer. Either way, the outcome is that the "signal to noise" ratio of the forum goes to **** because half the posts are "OMG GOOGLE," because this attitude is actively encouraged for some reason, when in reality it shouldn't even be tolerated.

Holy crap dude, chill the eff out. My post was completely lighthearted and I was fully prepared to help you and give you whatever help you needed. Hence the that I ended it with. Not anymore!
And you know what's not tolerated around here? Farking n00bs who CLAIM they exhausted searching when it is more than evident they didn't. Answers to ALL your questions can be found in guides ON EVERY DAMN ANDROID FORUM ON THE INTERNET, including here on xda where you decided to post the same exact thread that has already been posted thrice today by other noobs asking for help without wanting to do any legwork of their own.
And if you can't understand the simple "herp derp click here and watch your phone get rooted automagically for you" instructions then maybe you shouldn't be rooting. Smart phones are for smart people.
GOOD DAY.

You can disable apps, or uninstall them by going to settings>apps, or by going to the menu on your app drawer and selecting manage apps. once there, you can tap on apps that you don't want then tapping on them individually and selecting the option that you want.

Titanium backup. The end.

I've dedicated the last hour or more to searching for this ****. Once you've been into modding your phone for a while, you don't understand how difficult it is to get started.
I'm trying to go about this with caution, so I don't get screwed. I cannot afford to replace the phone if I screw up and HTC and ATT decide to throw me under the bus. Maybe the people around here who seem to own 3-5 phones at a time can.
The various roots that I found appeared to have users replying that they didn't work with the latest revisions to 1.85. So I'm still not even sure I can do that. Maybe those users were full of crap, maybe not. How am I supposed to know?
Back to the subject of the phone, it looks like CleanROM is probably my best option, but it will require unlocking the bootloader. So far I've seen instructions for rooting 1.85, but I'm unsure about unlocking.

Lets start over, ok?
To root your phone, there is a one click thread that is stickied in development that works great. I have used it 6 times now and have had no issues. It doesn't always work the first time but usually does the second. it will give you a "tampered" banner on your bootloader but that goes away if you RUU back to stock. It absolutely does work on the latest software (1.85).
Here's the thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
For removal of bloatware, use Titanium Backup. Been using it for 3 years, and I swear by it. When you select an item for deletion, back it up first just in case.

a little pointed, but true.. i remember my first post here on xda and I was labelled as a noob for asking a question. some people are just too sensitive for these type of forums. To op, if you cannot handle the "heat" I would tell you what I was told back then: "xda is for people who want to tinker with their phone, or for those interested in learning how to do so and contribute to the community. If that's not you, go to a much more general forum like android central." Now, you can bash me like you did to that guy who was just joking, or you can take what I said for what it means and run with it. Read up, that will do wonders for you.

Well, it's my laptop, and I have to use virtualbox to get winderz. So, it was probably something related to that.
Anyway, I swapped it from a usb2 port to a usb3 port.

Yeah on a desktop it can matter. I have yet to see an explanation of the difference between ports on the front and back, and why adb will refuse to work with some/most front ports. Just seems to be that way.

So I'm on my fourth or fifth try, still "no update available."
Edit: Ok, tried it 7+ times, how can I eliminate winderz? Is this exploit using a patched adb?

problems rooting phone

Hi.
I'm a novice when it comes to computers and smart phones. Based on my research I am convinced rooting my phone will give me more "power" in the verse. Moreover, I've been told rooting my phone is easy. So easy that a child can do it. Well, I have found it anything but easy. I have follow the "moto chopper" way and it didn't work. I got a "adb not recognized as an internal or external and a blah, blah.
At this point I'm thinking if I continue without expert help I will most likely destroy my phone. I don't want to do that. This is why I joined this forum. You guys seem to know what you're doing. So if anyone feels a little mercy and compassion for ol' Jackknife, I would appreciate any help or advice you might give.
Thank you.

It is easy for some, not easy for others. I have rooted a Toshiba AT100 tablet before, but now trying Huawei P6 and running into problems. this is a great place for all those in the know-how.

what phone are you using? without knowing that there really isnt much anyone can do.
on a more generic level, try searching google for how to root "phone model here"
or try the computer program "Vroot" which works wonders.
and a piece of advice: dont agree to any superuser requests unless you know exacly what you are doing. once you have rooted, you can totally destroy your phone without meaning to, so you have to be really careful.

As far as I'm concerned rooting is a myth, a fantasy produce by the virtual world. I tried vroot and it didn't work. Answer me this: why root my phone? I did enough reading to understand that by rooting it could potentially open up a world of goods to me. Is this true? I was convince of this at first, but with each new attempt doubt is creeping in. Plus the fact that if I am successful it would invalidate my warranty. What if something happens? Anyway. I never really got into forums but since you guys were prompt in your willingness to help me, I like this one. So thanks again, and maybe I'll keep plugging away it.

As far as I'm concerned rooting is a myth, a fantasy produce by the virtual world. I tried vroot and it didn't work. Answer me this: why root my phone?

ok, heres the info. rooting gives you root access. that means that you can change system files, delete system apps, and basically do anything on your phone. it gives you complete control, with all factory safeguards down. thats useful for a lot of things, but its also dangerous- imagine what happens if you delete the system folders! many apps need root access,m though, so maybe it is worth it. its up to you. if you decide you do want to root, tell me and
ill try to help you.

thanks again/ rooting

Can't you the info now but will later. I'm still reading up on this stuff. I do appreciate your willingness to help me. Much thanks.

[Q] How to disable "Raise volume above safe level warning"

Hi,
How can I disable the"Raise volume above safe level warning" and set my volume to the loudest volume?
The problem that I have is that the audio is too quiet when using the bluetooth in my car, so every time I have to reboot my phone I have to increase the volume, skip past the warning and then raise the volume.
This happens when I try and raise the volume with either Google Music or Dogg Catcher.
The problem is that due to my work, I have to keep my phone off so I go through this at least twice a day.
I had a search on the forums, but I couldn't find anything that was relevant to the Galaxy S6.
Thanks,
Dave

You have to root and load a custom rom or edit the proper files.

If you're rooting and editing files... why the need for a custom ROM?

Which file would it be? The popup is really annoying.

Oh bugger.
That's a shame, I'd prefer to not have to root the phone. I'll just have to live with it.
Thanks for your responses.

Ummm....you know what the word "OR" means, right?

I do, but without punctuation it's hard to tell what you're trying to say...
"You have to root and load a custom rom or edit the proper files."
could be
You have to root, and load a custom rom or edit the proper files.
or
You have to root, and load a custom rom, or edit the proper files.
or
You have to root and load a custom rom, or edit the proper files.

Why has no-one stated what actually needs to be done? I'm rooted, running Clean ROM, but can't figure out how to disable the volume warning. Would be nice if someone could provide info on it.

Im glad you understood, but the sentence has 3 different meanings depending on how you interpret it. Hence why I asked.

Don't be sad. You'll get it one day.

I'm hardly sad about your inability to understand the simplest of responses. I'm sad that people like you two want to give other folks a hard time about grammar and/OR <-[keyword] punctuation. Troll elsewhere. Good day.

Read the thread again, and then think real hard on who's giving who a hard time.

Or we could view your posting history and realize that is all you do is give people a hard time like you have superior intelligence. Try contributing something constructive for once. This will be my last post as you've made the blocked list. Happy hunting.

I'm not trolling, nor was I giving ANYONE a hard time. I asked a question, sue me. I then clarified why I asked the question because the "simplest of responses" can be taken different ways, sorry I don't think in the SAME EXACT way that you do.
Then you chew out Oliv3 for actually having some sense... "smh" Toxic, toxic, little man.

lol @ this thread

Wow, sheesh, I didn't mean to cause all of this emotional strife. For the record, you don't put a comma before a conjunction if the subject isn't repeated.
Example: You have to root, and you load a custom rom or edit the proper files.
But, yeah, I can see now that it was slightly ambiguous what I said. I probably should have said: You have to root, then load a custom rom or edit the proper files.
Again, sorry for dropping llama bait.

Wow, that is the perfect thread! I guess I'll have to look into Smali edits because everything I want to change is in Smali.

THIS, however, was super-helpful.
Look, it's my fault this thread went off the rails because of an ambiguous statement and then a tongue-in-cheek response which triggered more crazy. Nobody was harmed, we all had a little fun, and like a good after-school special, we all learned a little something - about ourselves, about XDA and about not believing that people in panel vans really have free candy.
Apologies again for causing all of the shenanigans. I feel like this guy:
