Root help, i'm confused!

Hi there everyone,
I want to root my Desire HD, but I don't want to install any custom roms, radios, etc. I only want to root my HD so I can install apps that require root. I see no advantage in installing any custom ROMs, so I want to leave that alone.
What's the best way to go about this? I've found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427. Do I need to do anything else, except what is in this guide? I'm terrified of bricking my phone!
Could I brick my device if I made a mistake with the above guide, or S-OFF?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Sorry for the question (no doubt it's been asked before), I've rooted my old HTC Hero before, found that easy, but this I'm confused!

Hi there. I'm actually quite a noob at all this since rooting is all new to me but seems you and I went after similar threads because I also read that guide to rooting the DHD at first. But after some further reading I discovered this is actually a much more difficult method of rooting (maybe because it's older?).
It will really, really help to look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248 as it explains so much and has many useful links.
But in answer to your question read this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076 A much easier method of rooting =)
Good luck.

After I've ran that step - do I have permroot and I don't need to do anything else? I only want root, not custom ROM's.
I'm scared of doing the permroot, sounds like I'll break my phone if I even attempt it! Is there any way to ensure it will work?

Yeh you will be perma rooted if you follow the steps. About ensuring it will work, this is something I am now looking into myself. I'm getting the impression that it's possible to create a copy of the stock rom even without the perma root and using that to do a recovery in the event of a root failure. Though I would have thought perma root would have been needed to do a recovery in the first place....
I've got a thread below yours where I'm still trying to get a clear answer as to how to do all that. If I find out I'll let u know =P

By "if you follow the steps" - do you mean I only have to follow step 1 for perm root? Or more than that?
Sorry for all the questions, I really do appreciate your help, thanks!
And also - if it fails, the stock WWE RUU can be flashed to restore the phone, can't it?
EDIT: Followed step one, restarted device and everything - perm root stays. Thanks for all your help mate!

Go all way through these steps from 1.1 to 1.6. Once you've done 1.6 your phone should be rooted. Just download the terminal emulator from the market and do that last thing that is mentioned to test the perma rooting. If that works then your good.
Oh just so you know the temp root option in Visionary is apparently completely safe and won't harm nothing because it makes no changes to the system partition.
Not sure about the WWE RUU. I'm not sure it will be compatible with your current ROM (Only thing I do know is that if it's older then your current it won't work). Don't know how to flash it either tbh, that's something I ain't found out yet =P

Rooting phone! :)

Hello all, can't post under development forums on Xperia X8 forums so I am posting here, I have this one small problem, everytme I try to root my Xperia X8 it says the rooted is successful but it doesn't reboot itself. Where is the problem....

Have you checked if any root needing software works?

i have rooted my x8 with super one click, it said root succesful and my phone didn't reboot, but it is rooted so i think it shouldn't reboot when it's done

it doesn't need to reboot.
try install titanium backup or root explorer, run, if it ask for root permission then you have it.

What's your build number? 2.0.1 or 2.1.1?
For 2.1.1 use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920236

download latest version of superoneclick n x8 usb driver

Can you see the super user in the menu?

Help in rooting.

So I downloaded the 1.5.5 SuperOneClickRoot thing. I downloaded my drivers. ADB says it can read my device (ie: adb devices shows my device ID)
I proceed to click on ROOT, and it roots it.
I proceed to click on SHELL ROOT, and it said I have a temp root on my phone and I need to reboot it.
I reboot it,
I click on SHELL ROOT.
It STILL says I have a temp root.
I turn off my phone. Pull the battery out. Reinsert. Repeat
STILL says I got temp root.'
I got update 2.1.
What the buck?

IMO, the best way to root is to install the x10 flashtool. You can find it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Basically, connect your phone via usb, make sure you have usb debugging checked on your phone, and hit root on x10 flashtool. You can use it to JIT enable your phone, install Xrecovery, clean and customize your phone. It's your best bet, if you have a computer that is.

If I am remember from rooting my phone a while ago, you don't need to press shell root. Only press the root button. You can also root with flashtool too. here is the link for the guide to help with flashtool and flastool link.

Thanks. Is there a guide on how to use that? Like which version is it for? btw, Im noob at rooting X10's. It's my friends, and I come from the Desire Z forums... (T-Mobile G2).

Completely agree. I used that and it took me 5mins to do it in total (cz i had to read a guide, since I never rooted any phones before). Its very simple and easy.
I used this guide for my xperia x10a with 2.1 and .55baseband from Rogers. Worked great without any problems. Then I just flashed a custom rom and was happy!
If you got any questions id be glad to help as best I can.

[GUIDE] Simple, Non-Destructive Root for Nexus S i9023, i9020A and 4G Gingerbread

Disclaimer
This may work on other versions - I can't see any reason why not - but the only ones it is confirmed working for is the i9023 and the i9020A running 2.3.6 and the Nexus S 4G running 2.3.7. If you use this to root other handsets then reply in the thread and I'll update this. This assumes you are starting with a completely stock Nexus S.
About
This works with Windows only by using DooMLoRD's excellent Easy Rooting Toolkit to root without deleting your data in under a minute.
Credits
This is a noob-friendly mashup of various tutorials and sources to provide you with root access on the stock Gingerbread ROM, and nothing else. Credits to DooMLoRD, for his amazing toolkit and kursk for the original i9023 tutorial that made me think Consider donating to DooMLoRD if you find this helpful.
Steps to Root your handset
Preparation
1)Update your Nexus S to 2.3.6 if it isn't already, getting the update file from here.
2)Rename the file you downloaded to "update.zip". Place it in the root of your SD card.
3)Reboot your phone into Recovery Mode by powering it off, then on again while holding the Vol + button.
4)Now you’ll see a triangle with exclamation mark, now repeatedly press Vol+ and power button to enter Recovery Mode.
5)Select "apply sdcard update.zip" and if necessary, follow on screen instructions to slect the update.zip file.
6)Reboot the device and you will be updated to 2.3.6
Click to expand...

Connecting to your Computer
1)Download and install the Android SDK. This may not be necessary for the rooting process but is certainly handy for future hacking or mods that you will likely want to do once you've rooted.
2)Install the Nexus S drivers as detailed here.
3)Make sure USB debugging is still enabled on your device and you are ready to proceed to rooting.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting your Nexus S
1)Download DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit here.
2)Extract the zip to your desktop.
3)Connect your phone by USB and confirm USB Debugging is still enabled.
4)Double click the runme.bat file located in DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit
5)Read the command prompt and press any key to root.
6)Your handset will be rooted and then reboot. The process should take around 1 minute.
7) Congratulations! You now have the stock ROM rooted and Superuser installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Further Steps
Now that your phone is rooted, you can use apps that require superuser access such as Root Explorer to modify system files.
You can install ROM Manager and use that to flash custom ROMs.
You may wish to unroot your device. This can be done as detailed by DooMLoRD here

But what's wrong with just flashing the signed superuser zip from stock recovery or any other superuser zip from cwm?

Unlocking the boot-loader erases the phone. Hence the "Non-Destructive" part of the title.

Yes, this method does it in under a minute and doesn't wipe your phone, making it easier for people who are new to modding or just want an easy and quick root.

Rooted an 9020a stock 2.3.6. Great work, thanks.

Can someone please confirm if this works for i9020T OTA 4.0.3?

I don't *think* it will work on ICS...but you could give it a try, or wait for someone else to if you don't want to

Couple quick noob questions...
Does this unlock the bootloader?
Is this considered the old fashion way of rooting the NS4G?
I've tried the One Click Root by ShabbyPenguin with no luck
So I'm lookin to get this NS4G runnin 2.3.7 Gingerbread rooted..
Hoping someone can answer these questions for me thanks.
FWIW I'm not a complete noob I'm coming from a rooted EVO4G so I'm a noob in the NS4G area completely lol thanks in advanced

I've just checked my Nexus S i9023 and it appears the boot loader is still locked, in answer to your question. It is not possible to unlock the boot loader without wiping all your personal data.
Hope this helps.

Not really....
I'm not really worried about the phone being wiped clean I could careless its not my phone Im just confused about rooting this NS4G..and what actions need to be taken to do so...
I ran the One Click Root by Shabby but I keep getting
"error: device not found"
And I've installed every single driver that I've found and I still get the same error running the one click root
I guess my question should've been
What's another way to root the ns4g without the one click root?
Tell Siri I said SUCK IT!

Sorry, I forgot to answer your other questions
This method can be used to root a Nexus S 4G: I can't confirm it personally because I'm in the UK and don't have access to any kind of 4G tech, but "Samsung Nexus S 4G 2.3.7" is listed in the supported devices post here in DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit Thread

Sorry, I don't understand. How you can install custom ROM as mentioned in OP if bootloader stays closed? Does it give only root access, doesn't it?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I'm getting a nexus s i9020T soon and was wondering if this root method might work for it? When it comes to computers I'm a complete idiot. If something does go wrong I'll be clueless how to fix it. The reason I want to root is to remove some apps I can't uninstall and also so I can do a full backup including app data. If this method is not suitable what is the best way to do it? A super easy one click method would be preferable. Thanks!

Yes! This Method Works! If you follow this step by step! It will Unlock the bootloader and give root access! I just rooted this morning ladies and gents!

buying a new razr m to root?

I'm entirely new to anything phone/development related so I apologize for my ignorance (I also apologize if this is in the wrong section). I've had a razr M for about 2 years now and I'm entirely content with it except after the last update I can no longer use my foxfi for wifi access. From what I understand I can't root my phone and downgrade from this operating system so my question is this: Can I buy a new one off ebay for ~$100, root it and use foxfi (or some other free wifi tether) while keeping my unlimited data and not "bricking" it? The battery on my current phone has gone to crap anyways and I was considering buying a replacement phone considering they're only ~$100 anyways.
It's a pain in the but trying to figure all of this out with only limited time to browse the internet at work and trying to sort the 100's of pages of info from my phone.
Is this feasible? Are there certain things I need to verify about a phone before I buy it to make sure I can complete this process?
Thanks in advance,
Rory

If you're on the latest firmware, you CAN root with Towel Root and unlock with Motopocalypse. Then you can downgrade back to JB. There's a method posted by @bweN diorD somewhere in this forum.

There is far too much about this I don't understand.
I am willing to pay someone to root a razr m for me. Do I have any takers?

Towel Root and Motopocalypse are both apps that you can download to the phone and then run. They're just apps, so they are as easy as opening the app then running. You need to use Towel Root, then Motopocalypse to unlock, and then you can install TWRP. If you don't want to use fastboot to install recovery, then you can flash it with Rashr or Flashify. Just download TWRP and place on your external SD, no need to open or extract it. Flash it with one of those apps. Once you're rooted and unlocked, you should be able to use that guide to downgrade.

just use the tutorial i posted before as a guide, substituting the files @RikRong gave you for the recoveries.
i just updated the guide to include a complete step by step for flashing the recoveries and su zip.
the only thing you will need is fastboot and adb in the same folder with your recovery file.
the guide instructs to use adb and fastboot from my script, but you wont have my script. thats why you need to grab adb and fastboot from google.
its not difficult, you just dont understand what needs to be done. you dont open the recovery with the phone booted up. just read the guide and subsequent link to the step by step and you will quickly see where you are going wrong.

just a quick disclaimer for those not following along, ^^^^^ the firmware and recoveries in this guide are for the 926 only!!! use it for reference only!! any other files in the guide and the guide itself, is universal.

My error specifically says this:
Failed flashing process. 7/20 flash modem "non-hlos.bin" -> USB error occurred while reading/writing.

I unplugged it and tried another USB port and it went through all the steps 20/20. Then it rebooted my phone and the phone says "please wait, this may take a few minutes". After several minutes RSD told me to "manually power on the phone". Since the phone was never shut off I couldn't do this so I unplugged the USB and replugged it in thinking maybe there was another USB error. RSD has now finished and says result is "PASS". However my phone still says "please wait, this may take a few minutes". Should I let me phone be or should I restart it?

It's working!!!! I just ran RSD again (and this from the start on a usb 2.0 port as I read 3.0 can screw it up). This time it worked like a charm! I'm back on jellybean and posting from my laptop through a foxfi connection from my phone! SO thankful for this and those who did the write ups/walk throughs and posted in here! I got a lot of apps and setting to update ahead of me ugh. I'm going to do some donating here for the help! Thanks to those who posted in this thread and the ones who made those write ups and the app developers!

How do I keep my phone from automatically updating back to KK?? I didn't let it update when KK originally came out (I just kept clicking postpone) until about a month or two later it just updated on it's own. Well my phone just started automatically downloading a system update again. I put it in airplane mode but how do I keep this update from happening again and getting screwed by KK again?
