I have a XTC Clip S-OFF`ed Incredible S and today I have flashed the 2.30.405.1 WWE version .
I am guessing Gingerbreak and the rungingerbreak methods are not working ( I tried) it worked thou when I ugraded to Gingerbread from Froyo back some months ago
What is the newest method to root this new firmware now ?
Thanks

It says : Simply install this patch via CWM and reboot. From there you can proceed to run any root apps you need (such as Titanium).
I am S-OFF but I can not install CWM due to not being rooted.

What is Sensation root got to do with IS root ?
My problem is I just flashed the newest GB WWE rom for IS and I dont know how to root it yet although I have a XTC Clip S-OFF'ed IS.
gingerbreak doesn't work?
Since this is the latest RUU , I think gingerbreak needs a patch
so you are still s-off? after flashing the latest ruu, hboot and all?

how about the other method.where you use a file to run in recovery?
CWM Recovery...
Ok copy the attached .zip file at the root of our SD Card and reboot into Bootloader by holding the Vol Down button and power button.
It will install the Latest CWM Recovery on your phone from Fastboot menu and after that you can install SU and Busybox from market and root your device
Don't forget to delete the file from you SD Card later otherwise next time when you'll boot again in Bootloader it will start installing recovery again
Alternately if you have Android SDK setup on your PC and ADB commands are working from your PC then you can unzip this file and go into the folder where its extracted and run this command to flash it from your PC:
"adb reboot bootloader"
This will reboot your phone into Bootloader.
After that run this command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
This will flash new recovery in there. Just reboot after this finish from your device.
I rooted 2.30.405.1 like this on my device.
You might have to flash SU using recovery later if it doesnt install from Market.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I was traveling to another city so couldn't respond in time.
Good that everything worked out for you
That's why I said in my earlier post that if SU doesn't install then flash it using recovery. When SU installation fails it copies the SU binaries on SD Card to flash using Recovery and that way your installation completes
Enjoy yourself now

I've just updated my Nexus to 2.3.3 and lost my root. I tried rageagainstthecage again, but it seems that particular exploit is now closed. In fact, when I ran it and adb reset, I could no longer USB debug on my phone until I restarted it.
So... How do we root the Nexus One with 2.3.3 ??
Thanks, Steve.
looking for similar thing too, i had rooted stock N1 2.2.1 then updated to 2.3.3 (CMW with custom ROM+rooted) works pretty cool, what i am wonder, what about if i flash not rooted version , what happen after that, do i lose? ability to root again? or i can just flash su?
thx
The inventor of rageagainsthecage has stated it no longer works on gingerbread. He has another exploit called gingerbreak which he will release when more devices get gingerbread or something. For now, downgrade and flash a pre-rooted gingerbread build. Good luck with that, I still can't seem to downgrade...
Are both you guys running an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery?
If so, then head over to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396 and download the su.zip that's attached at the bottom of the first post.
Once downloaded, put it on your SD card, boot into recovery (hold volume down after you hit the power button, then select recovery form the menu with the volume down key and press the power button to confirm). Then, simply flash the su.zip from within recover.
**This all assumes you have a custom recovery image such as Amon RA.
I haven't come across a clear cut way to root GRI40 without the use of custom recovery.

Not using a custom recovery so can't do the idea listed here. As for downgrading and then upgrading, it's probably the only solution but I think I'll wait for GINGERBREAK

Having an unlocked bootloader since minute 5, I am guessing here.
But couldn't you downgrade with passimg and then reroot the same way you did previously, install CW recovery, and then upgrade to one of the rooted GRI40 builds?

You will have a padlock icon on your 'X' screen if you have unlocked the bootloader successfully. To check whether or not you have root access, open up a terminal from the phone and type su. If it asks for root access and you click allow, you should see a # sign. If it doesn't give you a # sign, you aren't rooted.

Thanks Brownbay this su.zip worked for me..
1. Had a rooted 2.2.2 before
2. Update to 2.3.3 and my root is gone
3. Tried manual rooting steps for Froyo didn't work out
4. Downloaded this su.zip file
5. In my 2.3.3 used Superboot to flash Amon RA recovery while I was in Fastboot(shutdown and then Trackball+power). For some reason wasnt able to flash when the phone is powered on and in normal working mode.
6. Select su.zip for update
7. Reboot after finish, Installed Titanium backup again and tested working fine...
Great now I will have all the fun again

Hi, this is interesting, could you please elaborate more on the above steps?
It's called "Install custom recovery, guide for unlocked bootloader", and then "flash a SU file through custom recovery".
Guides in Wiki.
People, have a look before asking!!
1. Download Superboot and extract to your system(mine c:\superboot)
2. Download Amon RA-Passion recovery image and place it in the superboot folder
3. Shutdown you phone, reboot pby pressing Trackball+Power button
4. In you computer open command prompt and gotto c:\superboot
5. Type "fastboot-youros flash recovery your-ra.img-filename"
6. It will upload and once said done disconnect you phone from computer
7. Select Bootloader and Recovery
8. Now select update zip and select the SU.zip and update

I flashed an old Eclair rom, rooted, installed Rom Manager, Clockwork, and back to CM7.

It hung on first boot and had to issue an adb reboot command to get it to boot, but everything seems fine after that. And it rooted successfully

Does this new hboot allow you to flash the boot/recovery partitions from recovery? It's really annoying how 1.16 doesn't allow you to do that as I wouldn't have had a reason to downgrade and S-OFF if it unlocked everything properly.

You should be good to go then for the update. Re-locking your bootloader doesn't wipe your files either, only unlocking wipes the internal storage.

I've seen several people mention S-Off and HTCDev in the same breath and I think some of you are getting it all mixed up. Unlocking the bootloader and going S-Off are not the same thing and only unlocking the bootloader can be done through the HTCDev website.

You need to be on stock recovery. Figure that out and you should be good.
Looking at the various guides somehow related to stock recovery doesn't make sense to me.
There's too many things I am not aware of such as how to flash the stock recovery, if the process will wipe all data, what is a fastboot command etc. etc. Has anybody ever created an easy guide to assess the problem?

For the sake of common knowledge and in case it may help other unknowing people like me, I'll post what I did here:
I sort of mixed these two guides: this one and this.
Premise:
A. It was impossible to make this whole thing run on my Win8.1 x64 computer. It would never recognize my Fastboot USB device plugged in. I had to use bloody WINXP x86 on my old-ass netbook....
B. Somehow I still had my fastboot/adb compiled folder that I used back in time to root my HTC at first.
C. My phone was Tampered, Unlocked, with HBOOT (i think 1.44 ?) and most definitely S-OFF I would say ? Still don't know for sure.
D. I updated from 4.1.2 through 4.2 to 4.3.
At the 4.2 upgrade the phone went on black screen twice (1st time at ~25%, and 2nd time after 100% was complete). Panic is useless in that case. I went to the bathroom, blasted the strongest lights I had and exposing the phone to the lights, I pressed the power button til the capacitative buttons blinked. After a while the phone rebooted and resumed exactly from the point it blacked out before.
The update to 4.3 went smooth as oil instead.
This is each step I did, following the quoted guides above:
1. Extract the stock recovery file (should be .img) that can be found in the OTA update firmware.zip file, in the firmware package (in some other thread it's explained the path of this file). Place the file in the folder with your fastboot commands.
2. Make sure fastboot and USB Debugging are unchecked on your phone in power settings>fastboot.
3. Power down phone by holding power button and pressing shut down.
4. Once phone is shut down, power phone into bootloader by holding volume down button and pressing power button.
5. Once in the bootloader navigate until it says fastboot usb (must have phone connected to computer).
6. Open up a command prompt where your fastboot commands are located.
7. Type the following with the filename of the stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
8. Navigate in the bootloader menu to the reboot option to restart your phone.
9. Download the latest SuperSU and place it on your sdcard.
10. Perform the OTA update normally.
11. Once it finishes installing, power down the phone like before and get back to fastboot usb.
12. Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot (I used latest CWM available):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>
or
Code:
fastboot flash zip <recovery>.zip
13. Then type :
Code:
fastboot reboot
14. Enter recovery by navigating with the volume buttons. Once in recovery, flash the zip of the SuperSU file you previously downloaded.
15. Restart once flashing is complete.

I've watched that already it says to install zip file through cwm from xda but doesn't mention which file. If I add supersize surely that would root the device but I would like the most recent version it must be somewhere on here I would have thought?

Personally I prefer TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
Download this to your adb folder. Once you have unlocked your bootloader, fastboot will work.
Plug your mobile into your pc.
Type
adb devices.
You should see the adb server start up then a serial number of your device.
Then type
adb reboot bootloader (wait a bit for the fastbootusb on the phone to show)
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-m7.img
This will flash the recovery. Boot into the recovery. When you choose to reboot, select system and it will give you an option to install su.
Your rooted.
if you prefer cwm its here
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
select your preference (touch or non touch).

True personally I'd rather have twrp, but I thought to run rum runner cwm was a must can I s-off with that first then flash twrp as a different recovery after and gain root through that would it be a case of then just overwriting the current recovery being cwm thanks

You can always use TWRP first to get root, then load up CMW for rumrunner. I have used revone in the past (also got a One s-offed with JCard) so I havnt used rumrunner.
If you need CMW after TWRP then just repeat the instructions above but use the CMW file name instead. You wont need to re root.

Well the only other device I have rooted was my Samsung note 1 which was pretty simple. Well I didn't no bit when you first reboot from cwm recovery it says yes to gain root access which I did just need to add supersu which came with rumrunner. Which I sorted tonight just had problems with my laptop and adb not recognizing after testing adb devices.

Hello,
in the near future I will try to unlock and root my international HTC One M7. Because I don't have many experiance with rooting (so far I have rooted only one phone (HTC Desire Z) a few years ago) I would apriciate some help and tips.
I have seen some nice video tutorials how to unlock and root HTC M7 on xda website:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/#root
The only problem is that these videos seems quite old and I don't know if procedure is still the same on newer versions of HTC One software? Currently I am running stock Sense software (Android 4.4.3, Sense version 6.0, Software number: 6.09.401.11)
Please tell me if I can follow these video tutorials to root my One even thou I am running newer software and if not which rooting procedure do you recomend for me?
Thanks in advance!

If you are 100% stock at the moment then wait for the Lollipop update which should come to your phone very very soon, because once you root, the update will fail, due to unlocking the bootloader which resets the phone and also deletes the data / preload folder required to update.
However to root, just unlock your bootloader at HTCDev, during the process it will give you sone ADB and fastboot files, keep these, you will need them, then flash TWRP recovery, enter recovery, exit recovery, it will ask you if you want to root before exiting, say yes, when the phone reboots, open SuperSU to update your binary, done.
Thanks!
One more question. Do I have to toggle S-ON to S-Off if i Want to install costum ROMs and kernel?

no, and never toggle, s-off costs $25 using sunshine s-off tool, and if you decide to go that way, never ever s-on again unless for waranty purposes.

Unlock your bootloader: follow instructions from htcdev.com/bootloader
Flash TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery
the twrp recovery downloads as a .img file
:crying:
am I using the correct download, the
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img
error: cannot load 'twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img'

the twrp file (yes its a .img file) must be in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe installed on your computer.
"Error: cannot load" = I can't (fastboot) find the file you're talking about
most probable causes:
File not in the right folder
Typo in the file name
I have been distracted..... it has flashed the twrp img file.
how do I
"3. Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery"
I have the supersu.zip file saved in the same folder on PC.
thankyou for your time and patience alray

You need to transfer SuperSu.zip to your phone. Then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the file. Reboot, and you're rooted
