Should be possible IMO but it would be stupid to do so.

Most devs have an unrooted version..if your trying to hide root from a program there are free programs that hide the root binary

Hello...
i am thinking of rooting my phone , for any reason if i want to factory default restore the phone is that restoring will disable the rooting or that rooting will be permanent ?
thanks a lot...
The only permanent thing you can do is unlock the bootloader.
Rooting, or any other change can usually be undone...

Root will be available after a factory reset, rooting apps mostly come along with unroot functionality.

Basically, once rooted, you can change the ROM on your phone to any compatible one you can find, including the original one...

Now I just bought an Incredible S and I want to root it and install a custom ROM but it seems as though HTC seems to hate devs and there are tons of crap blocking it so I was wondering how exactly do I root it?

There are multiple guides on XDA. I made one myself its in my sig
Compared to other phones, this phone is actually quite the headache to root and achieve S-OFF

Power off the phone and then hold the Volume Down key while pressing the Power button. This will boot you into the bootloader screen which lists the HBOOT version, the lock status and the radio version.

This is a very reliable guide. I used it first before achieving S-OFF. I would recommend S-OFF over just root though. Allows you to flash kernels, radios, splash screen, anything.
S-off -> root -> custom rom

errr... root and s-off are entirely different things. I looked at this thread in phandroid forums, and according to it, root just gives you superuser permissions. It gives you the ability to flash things to your phone, custom ROMs. However, when you root your phone, the Radio NVRAM section of the phone prevents you from completely overwriting system partition or at least from changing it. With S-OFF, you flash a custom HBOOT which gives you the ability to overwrite this system partition or in other words, literally do whatever you want to your phone.
I know. Not all of the custom rom require s-off. I suggest to him to s-off -> root -> the install custom rom. Forgot to put i suggest

From my experiences, I've only ever been able to do that on AOKP ROMs so I guess you'll have to wait until an AOKP ROM comes along which had that option.
I've not seen it done without AOKP but that doesn't mean there isn't an alternative way.

yea youll need custom ROM i think, or at least root.
PS not necessarily AOKP though, some custom stock roms such as viper have this option IIRC

Might be an idea to ask the ROM Dev as a starting point then?:silly:
I unlocked my bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Then i intalled the supersu zip file and a custom rom. after that i found supersu and super user on my phone. Is it safe to uninstall one of them?
Yes it's safe to uninstall one of them but if you're not bothered which one you keep then I suggest uninstalling SuperSU.
I say that because I flashed back to a stock ROM a while ago and also flashed the provided rooting tools so that I could keep root access. Once I rebooted to stock, I installed SuperSU from the Play Store and decided to uninstall Superuser as I didn't need both of them on there.
Later that day I found out that I only had partial root access. I could use root apps like ROM Toolbox but I couldn't make any changes to /system.
In the end I reflashed the rooting tools so I could get Superuser back and everything worked perfectly again.
I'm not sure whether it was just a temporary problem with SuperSU or not but as long as you don't mind which you keep, that would be my advice

This happened because you flashed a stock ROM, with a stock kernel, which has write protection enabled.

I was on stock ROM but had faux kernel installed. I forgot to mention that in my post.

Haha nor me. See I knew about the write protection on stock kernel right away which is why I figured I'd be fine with faux but it still didn't want to work.
Luckily it all sorted itself out in the end so I'm back using SuperSU again

You could either factory reset, or, depending on the method you used, you could unroot through the SU app itself.
I think super one click would work... but flashing the stock rom would be the best solutuon.... dont forget to press thanks if i helped.... :thumbup:
