OK so first off I did search the forums and I did do a little research. If there already is a thread like this I'm very sorry I must've missed it.
That being said.
I want to change the bootanimation on my note 3, but here's the hard part. I don't want to root(not just yet).
In the past I've had the Droid1, Droid3, & DROID RAZR MAXX.
With these phones I've always been able to use ADB to change the boot animation without rooting by simply typing in some commands into a command prompt. (I don't know them Off hand or I would copy and paste them here)
Is there anyway I can do this with my note 3?
Thank you for any and all help/advice

I found a way to fix my Bricked G1, but now that i finished rooting my phone, how do i know that i have rooted it?
I find the phone exactly the way it was...
First, if you were able to bring the phone back to life after you bricked it without replacing hardware, it wasn't bricked in the first place.
If you installed a custom rom, it's rooted. Type su in terminal and it should give you the # prompt instead of $.

Read his post. The answer is already there.
So the Thrive is now Rooted. How long we get a One Click Root for us less daring ppl?
p.s. Thanks to everyone to helped accomplish root!
That would be great
I would be, but it is on the horizon, as there are still some kinks.
I was testing today with another member at thriveforums on how to go back to stock, and still needs some work.
this is what I'm waiting on as well. I don't have the patience to go through the other root method
It would be great if it got to be as simple as attn1s HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V11. that is truly a one click rooting.

but limited to a specific release of the rom? so its not working on all, although "one-click", a few more steps until you do the actual "one-click"
I don't think we'll have a one-click anytime soon since we just got root.
Would be nice though

I do not understand what you mean?? the Hack kit is one click all you do is choose hack my inspire and it does everything including S off and super CID. It even puts the gold card in a folder so you do not even have to make one.Attn1 has made it so simple a moron could root a phone!!!! And it is not limited to anything no matter if it was a first release inspire last Febuary or a inspire purchased today it will root it!!!
Would be nice, but yeah.. looks to be a small while for that..

Minus the download time, it takes about 3 minutes to root it, because all you do is push the the system file and recovery from fastboot via adb, the flash the update in recovery to enable superuser.

guys, I do not think you understand something about one clicks. They use an exploit to gain temporary root. This allows everything required to be installed to allow root to be permanent. Currently, no exploit has been found to work on the Thrive. That being said, you have to install a boot image that gives you root access. Once this is done, you can add the additional files to gain fill root. So, at present, you will need two steps. One to flash a new boot image (and recovery if you want one to allow easier mods) and then installation of superuser update if there is on and busybox. The devs are working on a single flash to allow this to be automated, but you will still have to have adb working and run fastboot to get this to work. Hope this clears up some of your questions.

And still, if you can work command prompt, and have adb set up via sdk folder, it still takes 3 minutes to push the files via fastboot, and apply the update zip in recovery.
I just installed the pre-root gingerbread update for the droid x2. I have a thrive. How hard is it going to be? (I run Linux Mint primarily)

If you mean for the thrive, you just need a adb set up, then flash the boot and recovery via fastboot and the update.zip in recovery.
The hardest part is getting adb and fastboot set up. Once you have fastboot its simple.

i really hope and pray that this is soon accomplished, i think i speak for everyone in this thread when i say manually rooting can be a scary experience if your a noob or jus plain lack the skill, i mean who wants to play russian roulette with a device exceeding $500.00 in price anyway?
Thankfully for us, there were quite enough brave folks that were willing to do just that, else we wouldn't have gotten this close......
But, I am with you and am sitting back and awaiting an more bullet-proof method of rooting.

The only way to get a one-click root is to abuse an exploit. Finding an exploit is not something that happens quickly if at all and it wouldn't be an exploit that is Thrive specific, just specific to whatever version of Honeycomb.
I actually wouldn't expect any exploits to be found until Ice Cream Sandwich comes out and unites all the android platforms. More people = more chance to find an exploit.
I have rooted several android phones, but always used a 1-click root. I do not know how to use the SDK, and am very nervous about trying it. Is there a 1-click root for the XOOM out there? I have a WIFI Xoom with jelly bean installed. Any help would really be appreciated!!!!
me too

I second this!!
Learn how to use android sdk to execute adb and fastboot, worth learning and will save you loads of time in the future. Furthermore there are loads of tutorials and guides online already.
I second that you learn to adb. If something were to go wrong you'd have no clue what to do since you don't know how to use it.
Yea learning adb and fastboot is really important, but if you really want a one click tool use the one on my signature
I have used the android sdk to help root my Droid, my viewsonic G-tab, and even my eken tablets. And XDA has a *ton* of info. A ton.
But for peeps that have just gotten a xoom (like me) there seems to be a lot of info about rooting pre-JB. And very little about rooting a stock JB tablet.
If there's a good resource for rooting a stock JB MZ604 (wifi only tablet) that you know of, I personally would appreciate a link. 'Cause the google isn't finding it. And neither is XDA forum search.
Thanks

d3athsd00r, I will allow your hairy eyeball (in good humor) for the apparent *lack* of searching. I thanked you for your post and effort.
However, you have posted a link for an image flash. (I found it too.) And while it will effectively 'root' my device, it just ain't the same.
I guess any interest in actually rooting the xoom post-honeycomb waned after Motorola mentioned 4.1.2 was as far as it went. <sigh>
Thanks!

Its the stock image with root injected. There are no root methods that allow you to root without unlocking the boot loader first (which wipes your internal storage) and then either flashing a root package with a recovery or doing an image flash. Either way it comes out to the same thing. No one is going to waste time trying to find root exploits without unlocking the boot loader when it literally takes three cmd/terminal commands to root.
Code:
reboot fastboot
fastboot OEM unlock
fastboot flash system system.IMG

Thanks for the response.
Of all the android devices I've had and flashed versus rooting, I rather prefer the outcome of rooting: no data loss. But you have convinced me, and I'm pretty darned stubborn.
I'll get to it during my vacations the week after next.

Ok people, this is not my first post, although it says it is. I used to be on here and a few other sites as ldawg214. I've done some things but alas I quit for awhile and can't remember my old password (so if any mods can help me there that would be cool.) But the reason for this post is that I'm trying to get a custom rom on my mytouch 4g with 2.3.4 Gingerbread. I know I need to downgrade to froyo using adb but the files fre3vo and misc_version_01 are just blank data files. I don't know if they are supposed to be like that but everything I've searched for on this is at least 3 years old. I've gone ahead and tried adb but it always just tells me the the file or directory doesn't exist. Does anyone know if this method still works?

Thank you so much but it turns out I was just missing a few steps (as usual) lol. So I am now perm rooted with s=off. I think that's all I have to do and now I can flash a custom rom. That's what I'm on my way to do now. Thank you again.

I just bought this phone from Cricket, and the first thing I do is unlock the dev menu and look at dev options. Imagine my surprise when I see an option to unlock the bootloader!

We would have to figure out how to back up the original recovery. You could also try the fastboot boot command. That's pretty much a sure way to boot a recovery without messing things up but it has to be in .IMG format to try it.
By any chance has anyone tried the root permission setting found in engineering mode under settings? Dial *#*#2637643#*#* in your dialer to access it
