I have the Virgin Mobile Intercept with 2.2 and I would like to root and use a custom ROM. I have been searching everywhere on how to do it, but all I'm finding is either how to root an intercept running 2.1 and how to upgrade to 2.2. So my question is can I follow the 2.1 root instructions or is there a link that tells how to root if your phone already has 2.2? Also what are some good ROMs to consider. Any link or advice is appreciated

I'm a new Legend user, have been waiting for the official 2.2 Froyo but it seems so far away. Want to root and flash the Cynogen 6 ROM, but I dont wanna brick my new phone.
1. Is there a chance to brick my phone using the guide from The Unlockr ?
2. After rooting the phone, do i still have the stock HTC ROM (2.1 Eclair) (Kernel 2.6.xxx) and flash it to which rom i want (i this case Cynogen 6) or do i have the a new custom rom ?
3. Best/easiest or safest way to root ? I've heard that Universal androot 1.6.2 should work on Legend, after some tester has comfirmed it on the unlockr site.
Last thing. Some good tips i should know before rooting or some news on Official froyo release. Please feel free to share it.
Welcome aboard friend.
1) The Unlockr method is not working.
2) Search button
3) Method from MoDaCo. That is a softroot.
Cheers.
P/S : Search button is your friend.
What does it means with "soft root" ? thats why im o confuse thanks for the answer
soft root means its only root in memory , you loose once you power off phone
Ignore/delete
Ok so i have done the webtock hack on my atrix 4g and i have rooted it. I am not very familiar with rooting on android devices and flashing and custom roms etc. But now with the new update 4.1.57 i want to update my atrix 4g, but i heard that it can get bricked if you update with a rooted phone or with webtock hack enabled.
So how do i get my phone back to normal? How do i uninstall the webtock hack and unroot it so i can update safely or how can i root at 4.1.57 ? i am very new at all this , this being my first android phone so sorry if my questions are stupid.
Thanks so much for any help

thank you
If you are planning to root and go for custom roms etc then do not update with any official firmware. Head over to the Development forum for all you need to know on rooting, s-off, eng-off etc.
can i use visiionary tool to root or not....do i have downgrade from 2.2 to what....and then root
As mentioned above, go to Development and there you will find detailed stepbystep instructions how to downgrade first and than how to root your phone. Do not install automatic upgrade to 2.3 because it will be harder (not impossible) to root your phone (I learned it hard way after making official upgrade, but my phone is rooted and working well)
Hello! I have an evo 4g running stock gingerbread 2.3.3. I want to root it, and I just found how to on here. However it is for a windows computer, and I don't have access to one. Does anyone know how to root it with a Mac? I have a desktop all in one system with the latest dsoftware.
Thank you for any help!
Hey guys. So I was looking up some threads and stuff on how to sim unlock and root etc. However, I'm on Gingerbread, and really don't want to downgrade to be able to sim unlock and stuff.
Basically, is there a way to root + Sim unlock without having to downgrade?
Thanks
You have to downgrade for about half an hour to root, then you can go back to gingerbread or even ICS with a custom ROM, or just install stock rooted ROM, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't do this...
Just use the ace hack kit. Takes about 5 min. Just make sure you read the manual A few times. Alot of people get screwed when they fail to read the manual and just skim it
Ace hack kit works on 2.3?
It doesnt work on version 3.13.161.3 and more in the 3.x series wont work either.
So can I use this on 2.50.110.5?
