If you are using HTC Sensation 4G and want to Root your phone, have fun installing custom ROMS and tweaking your phone the way you want to, this is a simple step by step guide to gain root access to your android HTC Sensation 4G phone.

Rooting HTC Sensation 4G has three main steps which followed properly will ensure you have a rooted phone and you wont be cursing yourself for venturing into the android root world. Steps involved are:

1. S-Off your HTC Sensation
2. Install Recovery
3. Root your HTC Sensation

Before we get started, a couple of things that you need to make sure. The computer that you will be using to perform the root should either be running Windows or Linux, secondly your Sensation needs to be fully charged. Now lets begin with the rooting.

1. S-Off your HTC Sensation:
1. First of all, get the Hboot version for your HTC Sensation.

For that, with your phone turned ON, go to Settings > Power > Fast Reboot and uncheck fast reboot. Alternatively, you can turn off your phone, take out the battery and insert it again. That’s just to make sure your phone isn’t hibernating. Once done, hold the Volume Down button and press Power button, your phone will enter Bootloader/HBOOT. On the screen you will be able to read what your HBOOT version is.

2. Visit http://revolutionary.io/ and from there download the the application for your operating system. Disable your antivirus or add the application to exception list as some antiviruses detect. Extract all files to folder.

3. Get the serial number of your phone. For that either go to Settings > About Phone > Phone Identity.

4. When you click on download, a small form will open up. Fill it out with your PC operating system, Phone model, HBOOT version and Serial Number. It will generate the beta key so write that down or copy it.

5. On your pc, make sure you exit HTC sync. Now switch on your phone (normal home screen) and attach it to your pc and select HTC Sync mode when it asks for USB Connection type. Ignore any warnings on your phones screen that HTC sync not found.

6. Run the Revolutionary application you downloaded. It should detect your phone *Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710*.

7. It will ask for the beta key you generated on the website, enter it. Make sure you type it correctly as its case sensitive or just copy paste to avoid mistakes.

8. Follow the on screen prompts and wait till your phone is S-Off.

9. Revolutionary will ask you to install Clockwork Recovery now, enter N .

10. Your device is now S-Off.

2. Install Clockwork Recovery:

1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation from here.

2. Attach your phone in data storage mode to your pc and copy the file PG58IMG to your SD cards root folder.

3. Reboot your phone into bootloader/HBOOT screen.

4. On the screen it will ask *Do you want to start the update*.Press volume up for yes and volume down for no.Press volume up.

5. It will start the update and once done , reboot your phone to normal home screen.

6. Open your SD card and delete the PG58IMG file you copied earlier.

7. Cloclwork Recovery is installed on your phone and you can use it to root your phone.

3. Root your HTC Sensation :

1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here.

2. Connect your phone to pc in USB data mode, copy the downloaded file in the root folder of your SD card.

3. Reboot your phone in Bootloader mode, from there navigate to Recovery using volume up and volume down and using power button to select.

4. You will enter Clockwork Recovery.

5. Create a Backup by entering Backup and Restore menu.

6. Select *install from zip* and select the -2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip file.

7. Choose *Yes – install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip *.

8. Once done, go back and select Reboot.

9. Your phone is now rooted.

Using the above mentioned method will insure you have a permanently rooted HTC Sensation with S-Off and Clockwork Recovery. If you want to flash custom ROMS, just copy paste the rom zip in your SD Card, create backup of existing rom using clockwork and flash the new custom rom.

So its time you root your HTC Sensation and gain full control over your device! If you find this guide useful, let us know in the comments section.

But some apps that have been loaded on A73 are completely useless and thus you may want to get rid of them. Now, here comes the need to root Micromax A73.

Rooting procedures are mind boggling because they help in making the android device free and, post rooting the user has complete control over the operating system. This provides real thrill to those who want to enhance the features and user experience on their android. But rooting is actually a risky procedure. Thus we recommend that people with not so good technical knowledge must keep away from such procedures. Just read the disclaimer as given below before rooting.

Disclaimer: Rooting an android phone makes the warranty of the phone void. Apart from this, some other risks that may be involved include the risk of bricking, risk of the phone getting damaged as well as loss of important data. Thus we recommend that you should not root the phone unless and until you have the desired confidence levels or at least you know what you are doing.

Note: It is important to note that developer msj003 on android forum has tested this rooting procedure successfully just a few days back. We rely on this information and provide you the rooting procedure in that context.

Root Micromax A73

Download Unlock Root tool from here: http://www.unlockroot.com/ on your PC.

Now, check USB debugging. This can be done on your phone with: Settings->Applications and enabling the USB Debugging.

Keep the phone charged to the extent of 60-70 percent. This is because, if in between the procedure, the charging gets drained, the entire process will go waste.

Open Unlock root tool and click on Root.

Select the device.

Now, just wait for a while. You are done.

Soon, after the procedure is over your device will achieve root access. Once you root the phone, you can remove bloatware, add important apps and manage your Android independently.

How to root Micromax A70

How to root Micromax A70

Rooting comes with several pros and several cons. While you decide to root an android you must weigh the risk benefit ratio and based on that you must move ahead. For app developers and android developers this is a passion. I am sure they would never get into such weighing measures or so. These geeks would be desperate to test the root process. Micromax A70 is an amazing android device, but not much has been tried, tested and written about this. I am sure many new developers might have tried rooting Micromax A70, but might have remained unsatisfied with the results. But in reality, rooting and unrooting Micromax A70 is very simple as compared to other Android phones. The credit for this simple procedure goes to ‘Z4 Root app‘. So, here’s the Step by Step Process to know How to Root Micromax A70 and Install Custom ClockworkMod Recovery 4 with Rom Manager. But before you try that read the disclaimer as given below:

Disclaimer: It must be noted that we shall not be responsible for any damage caused to your Micromax A70 due to rooting procedure. However, if you have any doubts you can contact us and we will surely help you. Androidust.com has produced the given information with care but rooting the phone makes its warranty void. Root it at your own risk.

Root Micromax A70 step by step

1. The first step is to download Z4Root v1.3 from here.
2. After that install it using any file manager.
3. Now enable USB Debugging with this way, go to settings>applications>development and enable usb debugging.
4. Now after that start Z4Root and click on root.

You will be given a choice that whether you wish to root Micromax A70 with complete root or soft root. The basic difference is, when you wish to do unrooting of complete root, you will have to use the same app again along with hard root. In case of soft root merely rebooting the device will unroot the handset.

Difference between Soft root and Hard root.

Soft root: Many people just want to try rooting to test something or just to try it out to see how’s theperformance after the phone is rooted. They might not want their phones to be rooted permanently. For them, soft root is handy since once the phone is restarted, it reverses all the rooting process done and makes the phone unrooted as it was earlier before rooting. So once you switch off your phone after this process, the root access is gone !

Hard root: This method will root your device permanently and it stays rooted even after restarting your phone. This method is mostly used. Even though this root is permanent, this can also be reversed if you want with the same rooting tool. Since rooting voids the phone’s warranty, unrooting or reversing the process comes in when you need claim the warranty.

ClockworkMod Recovery with ROM manager app

Note: This process is not needed if you want to only root your phone. This process will only help you to enhance the features of your rooted phone.

Now, since you have rooted the phone, it would be great to try ClockworkMod Recovery with ROM manager app. This is something that will make your Android phone highly functional. With this functionality you can take up partitioning your memory card, zip file flashing etc. For this procedure you will require a Rooted Micromax A70, the device battery to be charged at 50-60% for avoiding any sort of hampering, ROM manager App ( You can download it from Android market from your phone:  ROM manager ) and internet connection on your phone. Before you start download and install ROM manager App from Android Market or Google play now. Once you have installed that, follow the instructions below:

Instructions

• First open ROM Manager and then select the Flash ClockWorkModRecovery (The first option).
• Once you do that, you will get the list of devices as pop up and you need to select A70.
• Now, let the download complete. This will definitely take some time and also it will install a few files.
• When this is done tap Reboot Into Recovery.
• Congrats, your Micromax A70 will be reboot into ClockWorkModRecovery.

It is vital to note that in this you will now have to use volume rocker for up and down movement and the power key will be the button for selection. Also if you have a Micromax A75 with you then you can check out how to root Micromax A75 here.
