SOLVED! Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area that can Root my Nexus One w Froyo?

Basically, I'm too stupid to do it and I WILL F it up so I'd like someone that knows what he/she is doing to do it for me and I'd be willing to pay something for it.
I'm close to charlotte so say, 50 miles distance from Monroe, NC..?
I want this font size proggy on there but it only works with rooted phones and of course, I thought that UNLOCKED also meant rooted
THanks

It's not very hard to do. I can walk you through it if you'd like on gtalk or someting
Oh, and also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. Next time post in the Q&A or General forum.

If you can do it over the phone, you're in 'cause I panic when something doesn't go right I like to ask questions immediately.
Any chance I'll brick the damn thing?
George

Oh, if you can also talk me through how to hook up the HD2 in windows mobile to my pc so I can download the ringtones from there (unless someone has them and can e mail them to me), it's worth an easy 20 bucks to me (paypal?).
I assume i can use the ringtones from the hd2 on the nexus?
Thanks
George

I'll more than gladly help you over skype or phone or however you like

don't unlock your bootloader now there is a way to save your phone for sure you get 100% warranty, i'm running custom roms with a locked bootloader I'm glad I waited use this approach instead.

Ok, now I'm lost again with this boot loader thing and the warranty

Its noobs who think that if you unlock the bootloader you'll void your warranty... YOU WONT... HTC will still replace the phone if there is a reason to that is the phones fault and not one of your own. Don't let the noobs scare you into thinking other wise.

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.
1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.
2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.
I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?

I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.
I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.
Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.
As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.
Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

NOpe, no skype and I don't have microphones on my computer anyway but I'll be happy to call pretty much anywhere.
If it's international, it's dirt cheap through google phone/voice
For those who haven't tried it, go to google.com/voice but before you do, ask me for a few pointers first. Bitc*in' service from Google and it's free.

I can walk you through it on gtalk but I'm not really down for sitting on the phone and doing it.

It's going to be quicker on the phone since I"m a dumbass but I DO need help so I'll take it unless the dude that offered to do it over the phone chimes in, in the next few minutes
Sorry if I sound picky but I just know how I am when it's not phone. Yeah, I tend to talk too much but things also get done faster.

does root void warranty in Wp8

does rooting in windows void warranty ?

Rooting violates warranty in any and every phone...

That aside: there currently is no way of rooting a WP8 device.

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. You can't void you warranty if you cant root your device.....YET..

Here's a silly question, is someone currently working on a root or is all hope given up? Just asking.

Most people working on WP have tended to stay rather quiet until there was something concrete to anounce. But given that they deemed most of the original Lumias unhackable unless they came from the factory with an unlocked Bootloader (as some did due to an error in manufacturing) it is entirely possible they are not working on trying to break Secure Boot.
But in the end: we simply don't know.

No.
No one is working on anything. Fact is, no one is interested.
You pick your poison, work on Lumia or work on a HTC device, but fact is there aren't enough modders/developers with devices to support any effort if there is any to begin with. Each device would require a different method , and the fact this secure boot is so different only adds to the dilemma.

Fact matter is there is now begin to have a interest in WP. But you still look at there user base normal every day people I class WP like iphone yea they jailed break the phone but still most of the users would not have a clue to do that. Unlike android where it is open source and you have developer coming from every direction so it's easy to creak device after another. I love my 8x it's nice not to have that option to flash or unlock bootloader is a phone in the end of the day and that is what I have been looking for all this time

Samsung won't change it. It is voiding their warranty and they can set the terms in it freely. Nobody like to repair phones because someone was messing with stuff in them.

The level of complication in building such a device won't let you know if an issue has hardware or software origin.
I don't understand why people are against Knox, as Samsung introduced similar checking system long time before. The only reason why people aren't angry because of that is fact that there is a workaround for that.
Consider that people at Samsung aren't stupid and they know that messing with device is causing problems. Of course that some issues like faulty buttons may be independent from rom flashing but services don't want to check it. Tripped Knox give them a lot options to check and that cost money.
It is sad that everything come to money, but I think that everyone is clever enough not to support products that have been modified heavily.

Additionally, what you want to add to this is theres new tech in aosp built from knox.
also the wording of the petition is terrible and should have been editied and proof read. it comes off more as a petulant child not getting his way than a genuine want or query. and as for wording, listen what you need is for them to change the fact a knox flag affects warranty. not remove knox altogether

Directive 1999/44 / EC dictates that seller must repair product and it is his role to proof that root caused the issue (for example). In most cases Samsung is warrantor and not seller.
When people will understand that?

Need to unlock your SIM T-Mobile users? Here's how!

FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.

I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.
It's not like that.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key

I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.

So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.

Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
