HOW TO ROOT HTC ARIA

HTC Aria Rooting Guide

This was orginally posted on XDA-Developers by gtg465x with credit also to eugene373 and attn1:

Prerequisites...

Note: If you're in Linux, you only need to do Step 4, Step 6, and Step 7.

Step 0.
Download and install HTC Sync: http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/

Step 1.
Download and unzip the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Step 2.
Go into the folder where you unzipped the Android SDK and open "SDK Setup.exe".
If you aren't greeted with a failed to fetch URL error, proceed to Step 3. If you did receive this error, go to Settings in the "Choose Packages to Install" window and check "Force https;//... sources to be fetched using http://..."
Close and re-open "SDK Setup.exe".

Step 3.
When the "Choose Packages to Install" window pops up, make sure the package "Usb Driver package, revision x" is checked. You can uncheck everything else. Click Install. After it downloads and installs, close "Android SDK and AVD Manager".

Step 4.
With your device unplugged from your computer, go to Settings > Application > Development on your device and turn on USB Debugging.

Step 5.
Now plug your device in to your computer. This is just to make sure the USB drivers are installed.
Once they are installed, unplug your device and turn it off.

Step 6.
This step is optional, but it may prevent an error later on in the process. If you've never formatted your SD card from a computer, remove it from the phone and format it in Windows or OSX with an external card reader. Then place the formatted card back in your phone, but leave the phone off.

Step 7.
Download the updated Root.zip from eugene373's guide: Root the Slide & Other HTC Devices*6/15/2010* How-To Updated 6/29/2010


Now let's get started...

Step 0.
Unzip Root.zip

Step 1.
Place the contents ("update.zip", "ota.zip", and "loop") into the Android SDK tools folder.

Step 2.
Open Command Prompt or Terminal and CD to the SDK tools directory.

Step 3.
Power on your device into the bootloader by holding the "Volume Down" key and simultaneously pressing Power.
Once you're in the bootloader, wait about 30 seconds until some diagnostic checking is done.
Press "Volume Down" to highlight Recovery, but do not push Power to execute just yet.

Step 4.
Now run your loop file from the prompt (either type "loop" in Windows or "./loop.sh" in Linux) (refer to ice3186's post for Mac instructions)
Note: The loop does nothing but show you the connection status of your phone. It's not technically required, but we'll use it in this guide.

Step 5.
Once the loop is running in your prompt, get ready to connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, but don't connect one end quite yet. With Recovery still highlighted on your phone, you will need to push the Power button and then immediately plug in the other end of the USB cord.

Step 6.
After a few seconds, you should see your device listed in the loop.

Step 7.
Unplug the USB cable from the bottom of your phone and plug it back in. You probably don't need to do this, but let's be safe. Wait for your device to show up in the loop again. Hit CTRL-C to terminate the loop.

Step 8.
You should see a triangle/exclaimation over a phone graphic.
Hold the "Volume Up" key (note it's Volume UP this time) and simultaneously press Power.
After the menu comes up, use the volume and power buttons to select and run update.zip. (This will fail, but we already know that! Select it anyway.)

Step 9.
Paste the following command into your prompt and press Enter.
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (*OSX users add a ./ in front of all terminal commands please)

Step 10.
This is very important!! Have this next command ready in your prompt before running update.zip again!!
This is the command. Paste it into your prompt, but DO NOT press Enter yet.
adb push update.zip /sdcard

Step 11.
Run update.zip and as soon as you see a faint progress bar appear behind the text at the bottom of the screen, push Enter to execute the command in your prompt.

Step 12.
If successful, you should see Clockwork Recovery and you now have Su and Superuser.apk installed! You can now reboot your phone into the OS to verify. If unsuccessful, repeat steps 11 and 12.

Step 13.
This step is optional, but it will save you the pain of going through all of these steps again in the future.

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

HOW TO ROOT HTC ONE S

If you’re in ownership of an HTC One S, you’ll probably be pleased to learn that it’s been rooted courtesy of – as usual – XDA developers, or, more specifically, forum member paulobrien.

We’ve got all the details in a step by step below. Please make sure you read every step carefully in order to prevent any mishaps.

DISCLAIMER: Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Redmond Pie is not to be held responsible for any loss of data as a result of you following this tutorial.

Step 1: Download the Superboot .zip file and extract the files therein [Download link over at XDA, with link at the end of the post].

Step 2: Next, you’ll need to ensure your device is in bootloader mode by turning off the phone first, and then powering with the ‘volume down‘ button pressed.

Step 3: Extract the contents of the ‘r3-ville-superboot.zip‘ downloaded in Step 1, and save the folder in a recognized location.

Step 4: Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.

(Mac users, skip to Step 6, Linux users, jump ahead to Step 7).

Step 5: Locate the folder containing the extracted files. Double click on the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat‘ file [WINDOWS ONLY].

Step 6: Run the Terminal app on your Mac, making sure that it points to the directory that containing the extracted files. Then, type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh ./install-superboot-mac.sh

Step 7: Run the Terminal application on your Linux-powered computer, and again, ensure it is it pointing to the directory containing the extracted files. Type in the following command:

chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh ./install-superboot-linux.sh

And that – as they say – is that. If you followed the steps religiously, you should now have root access to your HTC One S, with all the freedom and possibilities having a rooted device brings with it!

If you’re unsure of the benefits of rooting your device, or are looking for more information on the subject, I highly recommend you check out this post, which covers many of the pros and limitations of owning a rooted device.

If you get stuck at any point before, during, or after the rooting process, you’re strongly advised to check out the original thread on XDA. They’re a helpful bunch of guys, and very informative, meaning you won’t be stuck for too long.

HOW TO ROOT HTC Thunderbolt

... How To Root Your Verizon HTC Thunderbolt ...

INFORMATION:

INDEX OF THIS THREAD Post #1: Revolutionary Toolkit for rooting - You're Here Post #2: How to root WITHOUT downgrading - Go Here  Post #3: How to root WITH downgrading - Go Here  Post #4: How to unroot and return to stock - Go Here

NOTE:

The minor OTA to firmware number 2.11.605.9 patches the exploit used by Revolutionary.  So, before you can use the Revolutionary Toolkit below... you must either do option #1 or option #2 before using Revolutionary. There are 2 options: #1 Achieve temp root via another means, then run Revolutionary. (Info in Post #2) OR #2 Several users have reported being able to downgrade to 2.11.605.5 simply by running an RUU for that firmware, despite an s-on hboot wich would normally prevent you from going backwards in version numbers. (Info in Post #3) Feel free to do whichever is most comfortable

Revolutionary
A new method has just become available that does not wipe your data. This is 100% the best and most recommended way to root your Thunderbolt at this time.

WARNING: GAINING S-OFF ACCESS ON THE HTC THUNDERBOLT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
As with any ROM or modification the usual disclaimer applies.... You are using this at your own risk!

This is, LITERALLY, less than a 5 minute process, assuming you have all the files/preliminary stuff done first. Having to do "all" the preliminary should take you another couple minutes, at most... This is THAT simple!


Information you need to have first:


1) Serial number of your cell phone
2) HBOOT version number
3) HTC FastBoot drivers
4) Super User file: superuser 3.07.zip
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


5) Uninstall HTC Sync drivers (or any other auto-sync programs you may have on your computer; you may just need to turn them "off"; I don't know.)


6) Set phone to USB Debugging on, and Always awake


To get into HBOOT, turn your phone off. Then press the volume down button along with the power button. Press and hold, and within 5 seconds it'll come on. This method supports versions 1.04.0000 and 1.05.0000.


Step-by-step Revolutionary rooting instructions:




Step 1) Install HTC FastBoot driver


Step 2) Go to REVOLUTIONARY and follow the instructions to download the file revolutionary-0.4pre3.zip. It will require you to know your cell phone's serial number, and what version of HBOOT you have.


Step 3) Plug your phone in, select "usb storage", and copy the Super User file to the SDCard somewhere (easiest if you don't put it into a folder on your SD card.) Don't unzip it. 


Step 4) Plug in your phone, and when the prompt comes up, set to "Charge Only". Disregard any notices and don't install any additional drivers or whatnot.


Step 5) Unzip the Revolutionary zip file into a folder somewhere you can find it.


Step 6) Run the file "revolutionary.exe".


Step 7) Follow the prompts on the screen. It's pretty straightforward. It will reboot to HBOOT a couple times, the last time you'll see it at the top saying "S-Off".


Step 8) It asks you if you want to install clockwork recovery. Select "Y". You'll need this...


You now have a permanent custom recovery on your phone.


Now to actually Root it:


Step 9) From the HBOOT, scroll down to "Bootloader" using the volume keys, and select using the power button. Then scroll/select "Recovery" Yes, it seems sluggish...that's fine. Don't be impatient; it'll let you scroll at some point...


Step 10) Wait! You'll see the HTC spash screen for a bit, and then eventually you'll be into Clockwork Recovery


Step 11) Scroll to "install zip from sdcard" and select.


Step 12) Scroll to "choose zip from sdcard"


Step 13) Find the super user file (superuser-3.zip) (it'll be at the bottom of the directory list if you put it in the base directory of the sd card) and select it.


Step 14) Sit back and watch the quick show... If all goes well, it will install and show you when it's finished.


Step 15) Reboot the phone (keep selecting "back" until you have the option to reboot the phone)


If you are getting Force Closes from Superuser after you are finished, please reboot into Clockwork Recovery and FIX PERMISSIONS. 

YOU'RE NOW ROOTED!!! On a STOCK ROM! No loss of data. No re-setup. Nothing...

****please see anzhi thread for clockwork mod and chinese boot.img and rom needed prior to flashing cappy's rcmix3d rom. files needed are posted by me in his rom thread!****
Update:
Software version 1.24.709.2 doesn't seem to be rootable via this method. Please try flashing another ruu from runnymede rom thread then attempt root again

28/3/2012
Added V4 of the Doomlord Exploit as may be why XL was rooted without bootloader being unlocked.
well i relocked my bootloader and flashed ruu 1.05.404 then I used Doolord V4 to root my phone. This was succesful in permanently rooting my phone without unlocking my bootloader. This was not possible with V2 so if anyone wants to root without unlocking bootloader this is now possible using V4 of the Doomlord Exploit attached below. PLEASE NOTE THAT STILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS AND RECOVERY

In addition, you also may want to customize your phone to make it stand out from the crowd. For this you need root access to XE sensation. If you have rooted your phone already, will not be able to get root access after your phone is updated with ice cream sandwiches. Before rooting, you need to open the boot loader that can be done using a step by step method is given in HTC Dev website. Also, your phone must have installed Clockworkmod recovery.

Everyone was happy to have updates on their mobile phone and has now more than three months since the user is waiting for Android 4.0 update. You can not blame the team for such a long wait for Google’s adoption of Android 4.0 and you can not even blame the producers, the rigorous testing that manufacturers get around to deliver bug-free update. Although there is less chance of losing all your data, you should back up all the applications using the File Manager ASTRO. Back up all contacts to the SD card, SMS and call logs on Android on Android. Your phone must have at least 60 percent of the battery.

Android 4.0 update long wait for many devices are now starting to roll with the Samsung Galaxy S II launched the update starting tomorrow. But before that HTC has come out with a quick update for their HTC Sensation Sensation and XE smartphone released today. Updates to the sensation-based HTC smartphone comes along with the introduction of Sense 3.6 user interface. Update as of now is available to users in Germany. Android 4.0 update file for the thrill and sensation of XE is the total size of 283 Mb and we recommend users to go through these updates through the use of Wi Fi connection as if you choose to renew with your data plan it will cost maybe higher speed and Wi Fi download speeds are much better than 3G.

Many users have received a notification on their mobile phone about this update but if you do not accept these changes, so do not worry because you can also update your phone to Android 4.0 and enjoy the best features. If you include those users who have not received the update message then they can go through the Settings> About Phone and then click on software update, finally click Check Now to check whether an update is available on your phone or not.

HOW TO ROOT HTC Rezound

HOW TO ROOT HTC Rezound

Video tutorial

I've spent pretty much all day on this and wanted to get it out as soon as possible. There have been a lot of scripts floating around there that have a lot of great features, but not one that single-handedly did everything I wanted for my specific Rezound. Therefore, I've developed rEZoundRoot to help make the Rezound rooting process a little easier.

All you have to do is download the .zip file and extract it to somewhere on your hard drive. Then, copy your unique Unlock_code.bin that you obtained previously into the /tools/ folder and run the script. Follow the instructions and you're good to go!

UPDATE 1/4/2011: Fixed some typos, changed the recovery to install Amon Ra instead of Clockwork Mod, and fixed an issue where adb did not wait for the device before pushing ZergRush... Sorry for those who were having issues with getting root from the script.

UPDATE 1/31/2012: Actually added the Amon Ra recovery.img to the package. Previously had overlooked this and it was still installing the old version of Clockwork Mod.

UPDATE 3/5/2012: Updated to version 1.5 in order to reflect the most recent rooting process. Got rid of the Zerg Rush method because it's pretty much irrelevant now. Allows for either temp or perm pushing of Amon Ra recovery, which allows for the pushing of Superuser and SU per the provided instructions. Eventually I'd like to include the stock RUU in order to get those of us who didn't grab the OTA download all set up, but for right now I'm leaving it out to cut down on size. As always, leave questions in the comments. By the way... In case you haven't noticed by now, the text in the screenshot is red. The text in the actual program is blue. I'm not color blind, I'm just too lazy to update the screenshot... But you already knew that, didn't you?
