So I have been lurking for a few weeks and I have a HTC Hero that I want to root. But my question is what is the difference between rooting with UnrEVOked and rooting the way that this thread says forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
IS the difference just the difficult of the root?
And is unrevoked really just one click I haven't found much good info about it.
Thank you so much!
The thread you posted uses the unrevoked method. essentially read a little and what ever you feel is the easiest to understand then do that one.
oh ok. It didnt seem like the thread was the unrevoked method becasue theres are so many steps and unrevoked says its one click. Thats why i was confused.

universal androot is 1 click & worked great for me on 2 phones.
Thank you. I rooted the xda way with command prompt and all is wonderfull. Thank you for your clarification and help
I've fully rooted my own HTC evo and now I'm looking to root my mom's hero. My question though, is there any downside or limitations to rooting with these methods? Mainly, is this a full root or will that require additional steps?

No limitations, its more steps than the one click method but if you follow the directions it never fails, you run no risk of messing your phone up ( atleast I can't see how) ... any ways the unrevoked method has all the steps to get you rooted and will also help your understand the process and what root actually is.
But root is root doesn't matter how you do it they all lead to the same thing ... full control over your phone.
Ok, so with just one if those two methods the phone will be fully rooted to flash roms, kernels, custom recoveries, radios, and make nand backups? Can you remount and write to /system from within android? I fully understand rooting, just wasn't sure if any further steps were needed on the Hero. With the Evo it was a little more work to obtain full root.

I see some folks asking in the Rogers Captivate form on how to ROOT but no straight responses. Can someone please guide us NOOBS on how to Root/Unroot ( if needed ) Please
did you guys try clshortfuse 1click root? That should work. If not, try changing the model number in the update-script from i897 to i896

4 reinstall packages

I know it's an old thread, but just in case someone stumbles over it, looking for the same info, here it is...
Use RyanZA's z4root app from the market to safely and quickly root, unroot and re-root your Rogers Captivate.

Just a note, this doesn't show up in the Market for me. So presumably others will have trouble too... I don't know if it's because I'm in Canada maybe. But I searched the forums for the file, and found another copy. It worked flawlessly on my Rogers Captivate (2.1)
Edit: Just realized you had a link in your post.
Yeah, unfortunately z4root was removed from the market recently. The app is still available from the original thread I've linked to.

Sorry about this, I've tried a quick search to avoid this embarrassment but nobody else seems to be this forgetful.
Anyway, I installed an official OT to 2.3.6 the other week and obviously lost root access. Problem is that I also lost custom recovery (just get the exclamation mark and the little android) and can't remember how to get root access back without just flashing the su.zip.
So... little help please? Preferably someway that won't involve my computer (its having some aging issues if you know what I mean... bit temperamental). Think I heard something once about an app called Ginger root or something that sounded about right.
Once again sorry for wasting your time but I could do with the help here.
Thanks in advance,
Addam.
You will need to either unlock the bootlader or downgrade using passimg because gingerbreak was patched in 2.3.4.
Well I'm not sure what difference the bootloader makes but mine is unlocked if you feel like explain it. If not downgrading shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the help.

If you have an unlock bootloader use fastboot too install a custom recovery. Boot into recovery and flash ROM of choice. Check out the wiki, good stuffs
Edit: sorry about what this post used to say. Posted on wrong thread I think. Anyway thanks for the advice I guess I should stop looking for lazy ways of doing this kind of thing. Cheers.

To whomever reads this,I've been tryin to root my droid 3 for about a month now,failed every time.I've tried every method I know n they all generally give me the same outcome,a signature verification fail or other things along those lines.this is my 2nd droid 3,first one no idea what happened but it root no problem,this one is giving me hell,if u need the kernal r anything of that sort I can tell you it,but my android version is 2.3.4 stock everything.I would love any help or advice,and please don't tell me search the forums,Ive looked high and low n everywhere in between no one has an answer to this?the one I read that might be possible help requires that your phones already rooted which is redundant seein as one can't root the phone in the first place.please help me im extremly frustrated.also try to give me step by step just so I can make sure im not doin a single thing wrong.

Gingerbreak,motofail,had a copy of petes one click,(I used to root my orirginal droid 3)universal one click,the update.zip on my sd z4root n some others but like I said all of em said something along the lines of access denied or signature fail. Thanks for the post though.
hello
Like sed ovelayer you must use this (motofail) http://bit.ly/yGewgE
(remember if you click RUN.BAT you phone must be connected to pc with charging only mode)
and it this will dont work you must try download newest moto drivers.
best regards
The title explains it all. I got this phone knowing I could root and install CFW, but wanted to just "use" it for a few days in stock. I don't mind stock, I would jsut prefer a custom firmware. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to downgrade to Lollipop so I can flash TWRP and begin using CFW. A simple set of instructions would be very appreciated. Thanks to anyone who can help!

There appear to be guides here for doing those things with 6.0 installed, such as MicroMod777's guides.
After a few more hours of digging, I figured it out. I may draw up a cleanly laid out guide referencing the posts that helped me for people in the position I was.
Thank you!
No, you don't need to downgrade, just go ahead and install TWRP & CFW.
Careful with downgrading, becuz H811 has Q-Fuse enabled, if you mess up you'll end up with a 9008 hard brick
im having a similar issue im trying to root/unlock 20p and its not finding any device in fastboot it just sits there saying locating any device and never locates anything adb see's the phone just fine anyone know anything about that? thanks for the help in advance

Yea, I'm trying to root my new updated G4 that's on 20p. I have one that's soft bricked already that I'm trying to fix and don't wish to brick another.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Im in the same boat. No devices found after fastboot. Any advice?
