Sorry to say you will need at least access to a computer to get code & submit to HTC for unlock token. Then you can use the tool, even from a USB stick. Perhaps a friend or the library?
Goodluck, --Larry

Helping Rooting... Problem...

Hi I been trying to root my att HTC vivid. But I can't seem to get it to work. I try the all in one tool. But I can't get a token Id. Cms pops up n said invalid. I try use the method from the super guide but I can get to the install zip part. I don't know if I need to unlock downloader first or not. If so I can't get that to work either. I am new to rooting on HTC. My Samsung galaxy s2 on T-Mobile was very simple. Please help. Thanks!!!

Need help unlocking & rooting for MAC

I've been wanting to root my HTC vivid for months now. I have two issues, I'm on ics and I only have a Mac running osx tiger 10.4. If anyone can help me unlock my boot loader and root I would greatly appreciate it.

I really want root but I can't afford a new computer right now. Any geniuses could help. I have a ppc quick silver g4 mac. I have terminal, can someone walk me through the commands to unlock boot loader and root. Please

I'm really upset, that I can't do anything with my computer even though it's fast enough to do things like unlocking the bootloader and rooting. I remember the days when all you needed was a computer, not a speafic one. I also can't believe you guys can't or won't help me. I want root bad, but not bad enough to buy a new computer. I know someone on here can get me rooted and a unlocked bootloader. Come on guys help.

I'm using this guide in installing the android sdk and maybe I can get adb to work, what you guys think?

Try downloading paralles. And installing windows in that. Get all your drivers and stuff together. And follow guides on here as they're in Windows.

[Q] HTC dev bootloader unlocked via HTC Dev - hwo to install custom ROM though?

Hey, I unlocked my HTC Dream (Rogers, post 911 patched) bootloader from the HTC Dev site: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/
The Dream/G1 bootloader unlock code is now provided by HTC themselves. Everything went smoothly but I don't know what to do next. I know I needed to do this to install custom ROMs (I'm on android 1.5 right now, want to go to gingerbread 2.3) but i have no clue how/where to start.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
The HTC dev bootloader is garbage and will only cause you headaches. Relock the bootloader and root properly, Google search cyanogenmod wiki dream, follow those steps

Hi, thanks for the reply, however I only went down the HTC route cuz this link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Rogers_Dream:_Rooting_(Post-911_Patch) doesn't work. Many people have the same problem as me that the exploid, doesn't work, but I couldn't find a solution.
Dunno what to do, all I want is gingerbread lol, thanks for replying though, appreciate it
I don't know why it doesn't work I did it to my rogers g1 back when and it worked fine, what's the issue

[Q] Can i flash stock recovery and relock bootloader

Hey guys
I bought htc one for my brother, rooted it(still S-on) and installed google edition rom (as he wanted) Now as rom is working fine and i dont want him to play around with whole flashing process and recovery, can i flash stock recovery and relock bootloader?? As far as i know it shudnt affect anything but just to be sure i thought of asking first.
Thanks
I'd suggest telling not to flash anything but if he does, who know, maybe he'll like it, go into computer programming, make some awesome apps, make good money. LOL you never know. Little things lead to bigger one. As to answer your question, I'm not truly sure. I've never tried that but I believe you can

Sure can.
You are a pretty cool dude to buy your brother a flagship phone .

i thought i saw that they have a rooting apk file but ive never heard of it working, u can jus use a friends pc and root the phone though because the rooting files aint even large or take up space
Thanks. I will go ahead n do it on my gfs laptop whenever she brings it. I wish there was an apk but that's fine.

The apk is called Framaroot, but I don't know of it's confirmed working on our devices.

I'd suggest you to wait for a laptop rather than attempt anything not confirmed, because if something gets messed up you can't fix it without a laptop again. So enjoy the bloatware!
