I just got my refurbished HTC G2 and was updated with the stock 2.3.4 version of Android. I want to know the steps to root this phone since I had a Motorola Defy that was rooted and loved it.

Hi
I have installed stock 2.2 via the 'update.zip' route on my HTC Incredible. Need to know how I can get root now, as I had already s-off'd earlier before applying the 2.2 update.
HTC Incredible
Android 2.2 - nbuild 3..21.605.1
Baseband ver 2.15.00.07.28
s-off
thanks and regards

K so im new to rooting and evrything. I rooted my phone recently but the now the OTA update is coming. How can i get the update. Do i have to unroot?
This is best asked in the HTC Magic/Sapphire forum
Are we still unable to root if on TMO's 2.15 GB update? Just got a replacement phone today (old one's wifi finally went out), and I wanted to use Titanium to restore apps etc.
no but theres a downgrade guide all over the Android Development forums that shows you how to downgrade your gingerbread device to stock froyo 2.2...From there you can use any root method you want for the G2

Bleh, shoulda rooted before I manually upgraded then.
I noticed that the focus here is more on the Motorola Defy than Defy Plus (+). I need some help with a defy + that was purchased for my mother.
It is currently running on Stock 2.3.4 (build: 4.5.1-134_DFP-891 , Ver: 45.0.891.MB526.Asiaretail.en.03) Rooted.
However, they prompted me to update my firmware to Ver: 45.0.1321.en.03 recently.
Wondering if i were to update, will i lose root?
I rooted Defy+ with superoneclick 2.3.3.
Also, any good Custom roms to recommend for Defy +?
Will the procedures be the same as Flashing a Custom rom on HTC Sensation?
Where CWM or 4ext can be flashed to boot into as recovery and flashing firmware?
Thanks a million in advance for the help..
first of all, read this.
If you upgrade, you will lose your root, but as far as i know, the 2.3.6 can be rooted too with the latest superoneclick.
the best custom rom is definitely cyanogenmod (cm7), which can be used with 2.3.6, just install 2ndinit for defy, and there you go!
im not familiar with the flashing process of htc sensation, so i cant help you with that. flashing a full stock rom can be done with motos program rsd lite, while flashing a custom rom is done via cwm.
Hello I rooted my LGG2 the day I got it months ago but recently dropped and broke the digitizer. I had to order a new one and came with the 4.4.2 update running the VS98024A build number. All root methods I have looked up are for the VS90812B and previous builds. I have used the ioroot method and and the root put out by "thecubed" in the past but neither has an updated version for my current build #.
Anyone out there able to help me appreciate it going nuts with all this god forsaken LG and Verizon Bloatware.
Thank you
IOroot25 and up is compatible w/ 4.4.2...
