Hi guys,
I'm new to Rooting phones, and I was just wondering what guide should I follow to root my phone, because it's branded to optus, Does that make a difference?
Thanks,
Have fun! And no, optus doesnt make a difference. Happy rooting

Thanks for the quick response + The anwser.
It will allow you to use apps the require root permissions (obviously)
You can backup things
Modify /system files, including deleting bloatware
Not much for the regular user
However when you install a custom ROM/kernel, you can do much more. Over clocking, undervolting, mods, more mods, supercharge, optimize for performance. Custom ROMs have more features, such as venom which has everything customisable.
Main reason for rooting for me was to install custom ROMs and kernels.

Yeah thanks,
The main reason for me wanting to root my phone is because Optus has installed Apps(Bloatware) Which can't be uninstalled, and it drains the battery life :l
I am a bit confused ( As i said i am new..) Do i have to unlock my bootloader? if so Htcdev.com doesn't list one saying one for optus,
Help would be nice,
Thanks in advance

You could go to settings->apps and disable all the opt us ones, couldn't you? If you're on ICS that is

Just pick one of the other IncS. The instructions are generic in nature and will work regardless of the branded IncS.

Hi, I just bought my HTC Desire C and there is a lot of default apps that I don't use and I would like to remove them. Even if I remove for example Google +, it gets installed again automaticly. I know that the possible way to do it would be by rooting my device but I'm not sure if that would affect the warranty, so I'm a bit worried doing that. If there is any other way to do it without rooting my device, please tell me.
If you don't want to root your phone, just leave xda right away
Without kidding, nope there's no way to delete system apps without rooting
Sent from my HTC Desire C
Root Only
If there System apps, like Phenziox said you need root. so if you dont want to root then you cant go no further

This is my second Android, my last one I used Cyanogen Mod, and I also tested other roms. I've rooted the phone to be able to move apps to SD card because it was a not recent version of Android... And I noticed that in terms of battery for example, it was even worst than the original version... and there are always something that don't work proprely... and I decided to keep this phone system completely original... I'm just worried because my HTC don't have even a month and if there is any problem they may not accept the warranty because I've rooted the phone? don't know just precaution
if a custom ROM is worse then the original, there's a reason behind it which you need to find, but you can certainly rule out rooting as a possibility. I can confirm, a good custom ROM such as Revolution Sense 3.1 is simply miles better then the original, this is why we are using it.
Any software or brick problem?
Most answers and solutions is on xda
Hardware problem?
You need warranty
But there are some shops that have parts

Right.. do you know any link where I can found more info about that ROM? If everything works properly and there are "reasonable" bugs, and some improvements, I'll consider change it to that ROM.
man, check in the development section: Revolution Sense Edition 3.1:good:
After I rooted the phone I deleted some blotware. Now I am having problems with the phone freezing. Is there a way to recover the delete apps?
You can always restore your backup. Unless you didn't create a backup before you went and deleted everything. That's a noob thing not to do.
Your best bet is to follow the "return to stock" tutorial. It's in the sticky threads.
Or wait for the next update to roll out.

you will have to try it and see but it involves more than flashing with bootstrap to use it
Ok thanks it seems like this rom thing can be a whole lot of work!! Dont know if i am up to the task THANK YOU.
Title says it all. I am one of a few who flashed the current broken stock rom in the development section. The dev stated he can't get it to work right now. (Not sure if it's difficult or he's short on free time...) Anyways, I got my own running on my phone. I'm zipping up the rom right now if anybody wants to flash away.
Includes:
SU (SuperSU)
Busybox 1.22.1
PM me if interested. No noobs for now please...

What the ... are you serious? Knox Bootloader is the devil. Everyone should use ONLY a deknoxed rom. ONLY. And never ever ever use your thread.
Some people . like myself could care less about Knox. I was worried for a while but once it was tripped I really don't care.

You may not care but the rest of us do.

There's a lot that don't. I used to really care. But it doesn't mean much. Its only Samsung warranty. Sprint still has their 1 year.

I still care about tripping Knox. But I'll feel okay about it once my warranty expires in a couple months.

IIRC there are two KNOX issues on this phone and people tend to get them confused.
First off there is the KNOX Bootloader that has the warranty flag thingy. Once this bootloader is installed it cannot be removed or downgraded AFAIK. Also if you root and/or change roms it trips the counter which some people fear will void their warranty even though I haven't seen this actually be the case with anyone so far.
The second KNOX is the KNOX files included in the OS. This can (somewhat) easily be removed from a rooted S4 even if it has the KNOX bootloader. This is what I did with my GF's S4 as she blindly installed the 4.3 update right when she got it.
Now people have made their own 4.3 update (minus the KNOX stuff) that can be installed on the side to update the OS without installing KNOX. This is the route I would have taken if I had the chance.
I think the biggest fear with the 4.4 KitKat update is that it will once again force KNOX back onto the system - even if it had already been removed. Because of this many people are hesitant to install the OTA update until they are sure that KNOX can be removed from it - or until a version is made that can be manually installed that already has KNOX removed.

Any thoughts on what people will be doing once the S5 rolls out? It is probably a safe bet that they will come with Knox or a Knox like system factory installed.
Sent via mobile
Maybe by then there'll be a way to remove/disable KNOX (bootloader KNOX, to clarify)
I remember once HTC did their bootloaders, people either did an engineering bootloader or a custom unlocked bootloader. (let's not speak of the Evo 3D) Here's hoping we don't have to go that route with Samsung devices.
I solved some issues I was having, thought I would share.
Notice Chrome freezing or responding really slowly? Or do you hate not having easy access to tabs and functions? Go to Settings and disable 'Merge tabs and apps'.
Can't remove system apps? Grab the app 'Parcel' from Google play. Uninstall the apps 3 times in a row, then reboot.
All I got for now...
Feel free to share yours!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have a SM-G900V (Verizon) not T-Mobile as the link you supplied reflects. That link also states "CF-Auto-Root is not yet available for all models".

Sorry, first line in that thread is "**You can begin the following process from any build/ROM but you must have both root and Safestrap installed before proceeding**".
No other suggestions?
Why don't you downgrade to an old firmware and then update with the thread I posted? Don't know about rooting on a g900v as I've got a G900F
