Total noob ? on the root. Please help. - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have come over from Window Mobile like most and when I come to the Andriod forums, this is like learning Chinese on the fly with all the lingo. I was able to get my Imagio doing all I wanted, but this root thing sounds crazy.
So, way before I get into this root, I have a couple of questions.
1. If i root, will everything work as it does if it is stock. I know there is some things added, like tethering, but can I run all the apps I have bought on the market and do I have to pay for them again or just re-download.
2. I have seen the ten min vidoe on root, but he goes way too fast for me and I find myself watching the vidoe four hundred times just to get through the first minute. Where does someone get the files he is cutting and pasting onto the computer? Are those part of the files that come with the HTC sync or do you have to download them?
Sorry for the questions, but I would love to have the wifi-tethering like most but can't afford to screw this phone up. Since being part of the XDA adn PPCgeeks, I have had all questions answered and I have been able to get where I need to be on my phone without having to sell any of my guns to make up for buying a broken phone!
Thanks, in advance.

1. yes, everything will work fine
2. read the sticky in this sub-forum for rooting

Having root won't affect anything at all with your apps or contacts. Phone will be exactly the same with the addition of superuser priviledges (as long as you follow all the directions in the 10 min video.
All the files you need are in the file that is linked in the info pane of the 10 minute root video on youtube.
Make sure you follow the directions and you will be fine. Goodluck.

Google will remember your download history and purchases as long as you link up your gmail.

As always, thanks guys. Being a police officer, sometimes we have to do some long sitting details for security purposes and having a phone that can tether to the lap top while sitting in the car is a must! You guys rock.

helpp!!??

Hello guys. I'd like to start by saying I'm familiar with phones to a certain degree. I'm not completely lost. I'm coming from an iPhone. I had my 3g for about 2 years Nd was very happy with it. Was a snap to jailbreak and the info was easy to find. Not to mention the community was great. Needless to say I've now upgraded to the Evo so I'm now here. I've been searching these forums and YouTube like mad trying to figure this phone out. There are so many options and different options on here. I'm so lost right now. Everytime I find a thread which seems like its the answer it ends up being the answer to another application and not mine. When I first got the phone I used the unrevoked method for rooting. I'm guessing that's the equivalent to jailbreaking on the iPhone. Now all was well, I use the tethering at work with my laptop. The new update came out promising better battery life. I searched for how to retain my root and also be able to update. The answer seemed to be the new version of the unrevoked. Version 3 I believe. I did the ota update then tried to use unrevoked 3.1. It didn't work for me. I haven't been able to tether for like 3 weeks now. I don't know where I am or where I should be at this point. I wish this android stuff was more straight forward for new people. I want to know what should I be doing right now. Am I assed out temporarily or is there a way to get my root back? Greatly appreciate the help. I'm sure there are other people lost in this huge forum.
I completely agree. I have spent the past 2 hours trying to figure out this stupid OTA simpleroot thing and I still don't have root. This community is probably the most unorganized thing I have ever seen in my life hands down. Jailbreaking an iPhone needed 1 app that took 30 seconds. This thing needs 50000000 links to 10000 different things to install and configure just to change a theme....
Did this work?

Give it some time, your going from absolute control to open source. There is much more that can be done, it takes time to adjust from one major system to the other. Read threads take your time. Playing with the phone is often the best training one can have.
Thanks for the prompt responce silkyt but that didnt work either. I watched the video and the thing that were happening on the phone in the video wasnt happening on mine. i have htfc sync and the netframework 4 installed. Phopne rebooted once and was still in the same state. This is an example of a thread I mightr have come across that seema to be an answer for me but really wasnt. I'm not clear on am i stuck with this update until the hacking community finds an answer or is there something i'm missing? build is 1.47.651.1 firmware is 2.1 and baseband is 2.05.00.06.10

1.) Go back to iPhone?
2.) Don't root your phone?
3.) Figure it out your self and ask for help in the appropriate fourm/thread? Instead of whining and saying that the community sucks and the simple root sucks...
Oh and just for a little addition, even a Jailbroken iPhone couldn't do a tenth of what the Evo can do once rooted.

I completely agree. You should leave. First post, isn't a question, isn't help, it's a "THIS PLACE SUCKS" post. Please leave, return your android and go back to your iPhone. You're comparing a bicycle to a car and wonder why it's more complicated. The phone has been out for just over a month with 2 over-the-air updates already. The 1-click iPhone Jailbreak wasn't out this fast for the first iPhone, and you complain? Get a life.

So you've got stock 1.47.651.1 without root. When you boot the phone while holding the volume down button, do you have the option to enter Recovery? If you do, then enter recovery and see what version it is. If you come up to a screen with an exclamation point or a box, then you don't have a recovery installed. If you've got a bunch of options to scroll through with the volume buttons, then you've got one installed and are already rooted, all you would need to do is install a ROM.
Now, while you're in there, check what version of HBoot you have (it's at the top of the menu that comes up while holding the volume down button.)
If it's version 0.79.0000 then you could follow this thread, and then this one to regain root. Granted, they aren't "1-click" methods, but they are pretty easy if you take the time, and you'll be much more educated to fix problems in the future.
If you have version 0.76.2000, then you can just follow the second thread back to root.
Also, this belongs in Q&A in the future, not General.
Thanks for the help. It's a little overwhelming to be a new android user. I like that there are alot of options in terms of how you want your phone to work. I like that there are a verity of roms for different users. I have hboot 0.79.0000 and the recovery option takes me to the screen with the exclamation mark. Gonna check those threads you mentioned and hopefully be on my way to understanding this new os. I'll let you know if it works. Whats an adb by the way?
ADB = Android Debug Bridge and is basically a commandline to your phone

[Q] rooting my htc incredible

I own an HTC INCREDIBLE and I've been told to "root" my phone to get rid of all the bloatware. What is rooting and how do I do it? A lot of my apps and all of my music and all photos are saved to my mem card. There are some HTC apps I would actually like to keep. Also, is there anyway I could get swipe on my phone?
Yep - you can root your phone to get rid of bloatware and allow you to do all sorts of other things, basically, rooting the phone allows you to be the administrator of your phone, whereas now you just have a user account on it ... As for how to root, that's been done a lot of different ways and is explained in a number of places - you should read several how-tos so you'll have an idea of what you're getting yourself into (and whether you want to bother)... The contents of your memory card should be safe, but you should back them up anyway, since memory cards do fail during normal use. Simply rooting won't automatically remove any of your apps, so your good there, but it will give you the ability to remove apps, or even break (or even "brick") your phone, so take it easy and don't take any steps 'till you understand what you're about to do.
Here are some resources you can check out :
Ok, actually I'm not allowed to be helpful by posting links since I'm a new member, but google these terms: root droid incredible Jonamerica - that'll get you started...

Thanks so much. I'll check it out!
Just a few newbie tips for you.
I'm new to all of this also.....rooting and flashing.
1. Read a lot before you do anything. Its not hard but readup first!
2. Be patient......2 or 3 times while I have rooted or flashed I have thought that maybe my phone is dead. Sometimes there is no visible indication that the phone is actually doing what you want it to do. Let it sit there and do its thing. DO NOT PANIC and pull the battery!
3. Backup backup backup backup BACKUP!
Have fun.....I am

Thank you for this search link. Guide is very helpful, fills in alot of the blanks I've been having.
You're welcome.
There are numerous other guides and threads out there, so googling and reading is a good idea... I just researched it again since I rooted my wife's Inc. last night and since it has an SLCD screen I wanted to make sure that unrevoked had been updated to work with these screens - turns out it has and it worked fine. I actually had a scary moment when the phone wouldn't boot into recovery (five vibrations and a blank screen) but a google search and a battery pull saved me and so far so good since then - and I was able to uninstall verizon's backup assistant which was killing her battery every day.
Is that the only reason you rooted your wife's phone, was to remove some of the bloat? I might end up doing the same.

Yeah, that was the main reason - when she upgraded from her dumbphone, we used Backup Assistant to transfer her numbers over, but lately it's been hanging during sync and killing her battery (and/or it may be syncing over the poor 1x data connection rather than available wifi - not sure about that but it sounds like something Verizon would do (it would both be a bit more secure, and use more data they could bill us for)). Since Verizon in all their wisdom made it so you can't uninstall that app or disassociate it from your account, I figured the I'd use force and just root the phone - worked too, now her battery's lasting all day, no problem.
I also would recommend rooting to anyone concerned about certain apps wanting internet permissions - DroidWall is a great app allowing you to prevent apps from accessing the internet (or you can block just wifi or just 3g for a specific app, potentially allowing you to better manage your data usage).
make sure to read alot about what ur getting into.. And remember to always backup before you do anything (incase of errors/problems) you can always boot back to stock...happy rootin!
Check this out: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barebones.
That guide is specific to Cyanogenmod, and it's a little outdated, but it's a good starting point to learn what applications are required for the phone to run, and which applications are simply "extra."

[Q] htc evo rooted, no data access

Over the past 2 weeks, I have tried to research the answers to my questions, but could barely find anything on this particular subject. So it's my first time posting to this forum, and my situation is a little embarrassing. I have had my htc evo for about 1 1/2 years, and I finally decided to root it 2 weeks ago. I've been with sprint for 6 years, and am on the unlimited data family plan, as well as the sprint hotspot feature on my phone, which I pay them 30 dollars additionally every month. I pretty much exclusively use my phone for all tasks and browsing and downloading etc, so I didn't get this feature for the "wireless tethering" , I actually got it so I could discontinue my home wireless internet through cox communications, so my phone is my only wifi source at home. I almost never use an actual pc!
I rooted my evo for 2 reasons mainly: 1) I am sort of an app addict, and I needed to free some space on my phone. I especially love using different keyboards ( which are often very large files). 2) I love customizing my home screens, but want to be able to use icons from icon packs such as crazy home's, with ADW launcher etc. I did a factory data reset on my phone before rooting, and I think I backed up all my apps to my laptop... but I wanted to start fresh anyway, so have not bothered to restore them from my pc to my phone.
Two days before I rooted my phone, Sprint temporarily disconnected my account do to Past due payment. I'm not going to get into the details, But I can't afford to pay off my balance until May. It is what it is, I'm not whining or complaining, times are a little tough for me financially and i just have to deal with not being able to make calls or text for a month. Lol, it's harder than I thought! It's pathetic how dependent my family has become on cell phones and texting for communication. We don't even have a land line. Just to give you a quick background, I didn't even know what sd card was, or a usb cable, before I got my htc evo. I'm not tech savvy at all, But when I first learned what this phone could do I was hooked. I have a laptop at home, But I never use it because a few keys on the keyboard are broken. As a matter of fact, The first time I actually plugged my phone into my pc, was when I rooted it!. I used the unrevoked 3 method, which was fairly straightforward. Because I have no data access right now, I was unable to update my profile etc. And of course, without data access I cannot take advantage of the free wireless tether.
My main question is, did I make a mistake in rooting my phone while not having network access? Right now, if I'm not in a wifi area I basically can't do much with my phone. I downloaded a few apps that allow free calling over a wireless connection, and facebook chat,etc... so I can communicate with my family as long as I'm in a wifi zone. But, I have been afraid to do anything else with my phone because I wanted to do a little research on this. I know some of you are probably thinking, why didn't she research it before she rooted? Lol, I would be saying the same thing! I didn't even think about it until I was done routing and it told me to update my profile. Since then I've been a little freaked. I'm hoping I didn't Make a bad choice. I just wanted to the able to access a few icon packs lol.
Is there anything I should know, or have done differently? Or does it make no difference at all? I guess basically what I'm getting at, is can I go ahead and reset my phone again and start flashing roms, just like I would if I had network access?
Again, please forgive me if I sound ignorant in this matter... because I am. Any advice will be much appreciated.
You can start flashing roms as normal. You didn't make a bad choice rooting without data access, because whether you do or don't doesn't make a different. i would say just make a back up of your apps in titanium backup, then backup your rom before flashing.
And you can pm me if you need any help.
Post neglected...double post.
I would say to reflash ur rom but it might not work try to go back to the sense rom if u have it backed up once u do that update everything under ur settings nd updates nd if it still don't work the only other thing I know u can do is unroot it and take it to.sprint so thay can look it

Not being able to update the profile won't make any difference at all, if you have no data connection to begin with. Once you're able to get things situated, and you need to get your phone activated again, you'll just need to make sure you're on a Sense rom before you activate it again. No worries, you can flash away all you want, with or without a data connection.
Also, how have you had your Evo for 1 1/2 years!? They were released June 4th last year!
Ha ha really? I feel like I've had this evo for years.. since the day I got it I've been like a kid in a candy store! Thanks for the reassurance everyone. Unfortunately, I've just encountered the problem with the SD card not being recognized by my phone or my PC. According to my research, I'm supposed to find this file on my SD card under android. secure and delete it? But my PC isn't recognizing my card, and my apps that are on SD are seen by my phone. I get a force close when attempting to unmount SD. My market apps won't install or uninstall.... ugh. Like an idiot,I never did a Nandroid backup. I really don't care about losing my app backups though,I just don't want to mess up my phone. All this information is overwhelming me... Nandroid this, titanium that, recovery boot, drivers, and on and on.... so much advice is outdated I don't know which to follow. I'm a dummy! That's why I need my smartphone to help me out lol.... how do I fix this?
Eek....I just saw a gigantic spider.... creepy..
in a nutshell, you can do anything with your phone, without data access, or service.
I rooted and flashed the ROM I did for my old Moment, after it had been turned off so I could sell it.
Now that you are rooted, I uses Titanium backup for all my apps/data. I only backup actually apps, not HTC stuff, etc, or anything that comes with the ROM you flash.
You can tell this becasue the apps are in white lettering in the Backup menu.
At least they are on mine, and I use all default settings.
rooted without data access
Thanks everyone...I fixed my problem with my sd card, turns out mine had gotten corrupted so I will deal with that later.I just put in my other card and Im back in business....lost all my personal info though. Thats the least of my worries. Someone said I can do anything on my phone without data service, but they must mean only when I am in Wifi zone right ? See, unfortunately, I dont live in a populated area. I have no wifi access at home and there are hardly any free wifi spots in town. At home, I can see that there are wifi networks around (linkys via cox communications), but they are locked. Oh, thats another question i had....why do people lock their wifi? I never did, and I have no problem letting others access mine when they need it. Should I? If so, why?I am so sorry if I sound clueless again, but Im learning a little more every day thanks to people like you!
So as far as communication, Im out of luck. A couple months ago,I had an issue connecting to the network while i was at home, but i just turned on my sprint hotspot and i had instant network access so i couldnt call or text, but i was able to get a hold of my daughter on facebook lol. How did my phone do that? I dont get it. I am going to a couple of those prepaid phones tomorrow so we can make calls in the meantime.
As far as navigation, any tips on how to find any apps that dont need network access that work well? I found a couple, but they seem so complicated to set up. And, I tried Nettalk for making calls over wifi but it only works sometimes. I read about apps that offer free sms and calls over wifi but I couldnt find one that was stable.
I cant wait to get my service restored..I didnt realize how much I depended on it. I still havent flashed any ROMS...Im a little nervous. I still dont totally understand what is different about my evo now tthat its rooted, but i plan to educate myself once I get full access to wifi again.
Any advice/tips is very much appreciated. Thanks again for this useful forum.

[Q] Issues with S3 Hotspot

Hi everyone,
First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for being such a great resource in the past. I have performed many roots via guides on here.
My real question, I was super excited to get KitKat and immediately accepted the AT&T Software Update...2 hours later I realized that my Portable WIFI Hotspot app was no longer functional due to the upgraded OS. I figured a factory reset would be fine since it wasnt KitKat when it first came to me, sadly it wasn't.
Does anyone have any advice for a work around? I have unlimited data with AT&T right now and do not wish to sacrafice that for hotspot services but it is a very convienent feature to have when I am on the go. I've thought of rooting, reverting (which didn't work), and search hours in the app store testing different ones.
Any and all advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance guys and gals!:good:
There is no way around it without rooting, until they create another app, unless there is one that I don't know about. You need a modified framework file in the system directory, which cannot be accessed without root permissions. I'm guessing that you were using foxfi, like so many others around here. I might be wrong.
And next time, please do some research before accepting these toys, I mean OTAs. (I keep calling them toys, because the only reason I see why we so quickly rush to these OTAs is to play with them.) There is plenty of useful information here at XDA for you. Don't just look to fix your problem and then run. Some of the purposes of OTAs are to prevent rooting and block tethering (Foxfi has been broken a couple of times). When you do some more reading, you will see all of the problems that many are having around here after jumping to play with this new toy, I mean update, without waiting or doing enough research.
Personally, one of the best things I have done with my phone is not accepting this latest OTA.
ya, I completely regret not doing my usual research. I thought I read somewhere that you cant root this current version as well. If you can root, if someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it, if not I can take a look around after work
The app was Portable WIFI Hotspot
Here you go if you need to root. It's in the general section.

help needed

well i had a nexus 7 (2013) laying around and decided i want to put it into my car for a few different reasons. well after pulling all my hair out and using every curse word known to man i finally figured out how to root it. now for 2 weeks ive been reading forums, watching youtube vids, and google searching like crazy. trying to figure out what kernel to use for it, and how to set up tasker. at this point i'm so lost i almost walked away from it........only reason i'm still entertaining the idea is so i can store different tunes on it for my car.
so now that i have that out of the way, i am willing to pay (thats how frustrated i am) for someone to log into my laptop thru teamviewer and do it for me lol. if this is frowned upon i apologize now, i just don't know what to do at this point.

you dont need to root it to put it in your car you know
Yes. You need to root it.
If you're dedicating it to the car use Timur's kernel, It's free now since it's not being supported anymore, but then again neither is the tablet.
Tasker is extremely daunting, Try Automate instead. It's still incredibly powerful but uses blocks that makes programming so much easier. And you can find many flows, what Automate calls it's "programs", through the community to get you going, learn from, or pick apart.
Keep in mind Timur's has a separate kernel for wifi and lte.

i appreciate the response, i am having tons of issues. i can't figure out how to get timur installed. tried quite a few times with no luck. i was able to get elemental x installed but thats it. it doesn't do what i need for the permanent install though. starting to lose faith lol

It's the same exact process. You download timur's mod and flash the services and usb-host through twrp.
Flashing is the easiest part of this process. it can be frustrating at times but once you figure it out and get it done you'll be proud.
Trust me, it took a year for me to get my power issues sorted out. You can do it.
Actually not the same, I installed ex kernel manager and it installed it for me. I downloaded Timur from the link posted above . Tried numerous times to install and no luck

Yes. You need to root it.
If you're dedicating it to the car use Timur's kernel, It's free now since it's not being supported anymore, but then again neither is the tablet.
Tasker is extremely daunting, Try Automate instead. It's still incredibly powerful but uses blocks that makes programming so much easier. And you can find many flows, what Automate calls it's "programs", through the community to get you going, learn from, or pick apart.
Keep in mind Timur's has a separate kernel for wifi and lte.

Is the link you posted for the WiFi kernel ? If not that's what I need
I haven't downloaded from that links since I have the files from when I donated. It says flo-deb so I'm assuming it has both.
well i think i'm done. about to throw this thing in the trash
