I was a little nervous at first myself. I read over the directions several times and then found some information on how to get adb installed and working. Once I got that step understood the actual rooting process was super easy. You can cut and paste all the commands to ensure you don't typo. Just make sure to validate your checksums to save any potential headaches. My first attempt at it took about 20 minutes and I had absolutely ZERO issues.

It is well worth your time and effort. It is also far better to use this method than the easy root 1 steps as you will gain a slightly better understanding of how your phone works and what steps you can take when you inevitably mess something up flashing ROMS, mods and radios ;)
[Thunderbolt General] priapos:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I am not nervous, I just don't understand what any of this is.

I don't know what adb is or how to use it.

I don't know what copy and pasting the commands means.

I certainly don't know what "validate checksums" are.

I realize I am coming across as a comlete shmo, but explaining how to do this with more computer jargon doesn't clarify the process.

I really need instructions for dooshbags like me.

Thanks in advance.

There is no "easy", reliable way to root sans ADB and command lines. You will need to know this stuff before you try to root. You're going to need ADB in any event. If learning it isn't knowledge you desire, you shouldn't root your phone. For terms, you should refer to the dictionary stickied at the top of the forum. The best way to learn is to get the Android SDK, set it up, make sure your drivers are there, then play with ADB. Do simply stuff like check your serial number, the md5 of files on your SDcard, and harmless stuff like that. If you've got any questions along the way, feel free to PM me any time. I'm here often. And I'm usually faster than hunting through forums or the internet.
[Thunderbolt General] MeAt.HoOk:
From what i think if u dont want the adb command line ****s you should try the software named "z4root". It automatically roots your phone.

Worked for me. And i think itz the easiest method available.

After installing the apk.

Open the application, click PERMANENT ROOT,

Then dnt let your phone sleep or lock itself, wait for about 10 minutes,

After the process reboot ypur phone.

Voila, you are rooted .. :P

Am new to the forums. please guide me.. :)

Thanks and sorry for my poor english. Hope you like this.

Cheers!

[Thunderbolt General] Cheeseter:
I would not recommend "easy" root methods, since there is greater room for error. Understanding ADB will help you in the long run :)
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
Don't think z4root works on the Thunderbolt just search youtube for Thunderbolt root and watch the tutorials. Links are provided for everything that needs to be downloaded.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I know z4root doesn't work for any modern HTC. You can have permanent root without s-off. The only way to do that is through ADB, using an engineering hboot, and applying various exploits. All the "easy" root methods are just scripts that do what jcase's guide lays out. And unlike the guide, if something goes south, you're lost and screwed. I think it would be safe to say "easy" roots have probably bricked more phones than anything else.
[Thunderbolt General] nerogold:
Is that u dbzfanatic? Looks awfully similar, lol.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Nope. Just a pieced up, inked up, "I been everywhere, man", freak of many talents and interests. Android phones are just one of them.
[Thunderbolt General] nerogold:
Sorry man I just wanted to say thanks to the other user I mentioned ,his method of rooting was and still is a great help to me already rooted 5 bolts and currently on #6 as I'm typing.
[Thunderbolt General] Greywolf66:
Do a google search for thunderbolt auto root. There is one posted in the Thuderbolt forums. I can't link directly to it because I don't have enough posts yet. I tested it on my wife's thunderbolt without a problem.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Yep, and the past guy to go that route, after being warned it was highly prone to failure, had it fail. Then he came back looking for help, but nobody could because what went wrong wasn't at all clear. Just not wise.
[Thunderbolt General] RomsWell:
Ive used the one click root four times with no issues. Four diffrent tb's from 3 diffrent states. 2 of them had alrdy takin the ota's. Dont have the link handy but if was a time saver. Though a half arse understanding of the method helps avoid issues. Ill post the link when i get home.
[Thunderbolt General] Greywolf66:
I rooted mine manually first. As you said in a previous post most "easy" roots are just scripts. That's what the one I used on my wife's was. I was following along the text of the batch file as I was running it so that if something happened I would know at what part of the script I was at. I had no problems with it though.

I'll agree that I could see where if someone where to run into a problem using script without any knowledge of what the script was doing they would probably end in a very bad place.
[Thunderbolt General] TabGuy:
I think the obvious was missed in this thread: The OP is not a candidate for rooting. It's a risky task for experienced users and a non-task for noobs. He hasn't even stated a valid need for rooting the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] SFBPro:
Come on, cut him some slack. Everyone was new once. He has already been warned.

ADB "Android Development Bridge" Simply put just helps you develop apps and fix bugs. (In this case, you will use this to reinstall Android without a locked bootloader (a.k.a. S-Off) (the bootloader is code that is run when you first turn on your device that tells Android to run).

You don't have to know how to use ADB, but you must install it on your computer.

As far as copying and pasting commands go, the tutorial that you choose to visit will tell you to type this command ex: cp image.zip/sdcard/

You will just copy this code out of your browser (FireFox/Internet Explorer/Chrome/etc.) and paste it into a command line.

Your command line will depend on what operating system you use on your pc. Ex for Windows, you will use "Command Prompt" or on Linux/MAC you will use "Terminal".

As far as validation checksums goes, it is used to make sure that the file that you downloaded is 100% the same file that the developer made.

Basically, open up your command line and type (without quotes) "md5 image.zip" also, make sure you change to "image.zip" with whatever/where you file is at.

I would be more specific with these instructions I'd I knew what OS (operating system) you are using on your computer is.

After you type in the command and hit enter, it will spit out a long string of gibberish. Just make sure this "checksum" is the EXACT same as whatever the devolver put in the tutorial you are following.

As far as putting together an idiot proof guide, you will have to forgive us, but I don't think the people here want to have a bunch of people here flooding the forums with very basic questions that have been answered already on the internet. However, don't let that stop you from asking questions. Just make sure you help yourself first (Google what you don't understand) and then ask for clarification.

P.S. I claim touchscreen amnesty for any typos.
[Thunderbolt General] cstover:
I watched the YouTube videos completely first while reading through the instructions. I then set up adb on my computer. I then played the videos while rooting. It was kinda like having someone talk me through it.
[Thunderbolt General] SFBPro:
Almost exactly what I did. I already had ADB though from 3 yrs ago when I put Android on my HTC Touch.
[Thunderbolt General] priapos:
I appreciate the abundance of help provided here.

After reading up on this process from help on this thread, I am going to attempt a root tomorrow.

To the poster who advised I not do it bk I am a noob, I was able to auto root my htc incredible, and install cyanogen. The method was simple and automatic. I was hoping for something like that bk I don't have a lot of time to learn this process. Apparently with the bolt it really is the best way.

I want root bk I want that freedom. I want to rid the junk, be able to use certain features and apps not available to unrooted devices, like wireless tether.

Additionally, my bolt has become unusable, as it constantly hangs, probably bk I have so many apps on it. Battery life is a big issue. Many of these problems seem to disappear with root according to other user experience.

Once again I appreciate your patience and help for a noob. I will update this thread once the process is completed.
[Thunderbolt General] Moyeto:
Make sure that you take your time, it is worth it. Free yourself from the matrix.
[Thunderbolt General] cranbiz:
It really is not hard. You don't need to install the full sdk either, you just need adb.exe (for a windows box)and the USB drivers for your phone. you can copy and paste the adb commands.

md5 is a file verification method. You will want to compare md5 hash to make sure that your downloads are not corrupt.

JCase's instructions are very easy to follow, has links to all the required files and 100% spot on. I completed the entire process in 20 minutes.

[Xoom General] FenixSI:
I do not think you can use ES File Explorer to change the permissions, but you can use Root Explorer if you are rooted.
[Xoom General] loquillo_rojo:
You need to change the ES File Explorer app options. Configuration-> Root Explorer (check it). That's all. You can also use this app http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1173195 and remount as writeable.

Thanks but after done what u said i still cannot change the permission folder. This is what I did(please advise me if I done wrong).

Before

Change:

User - nothing tick

Group - all tick

Other - one read and execute are tick

After

Change:

User - tick all(read, write and execute)

Group - nothing I change

Other - nothing I change.

I ON my USB debugging.

What should I do, because when I tick everything for user, this come out "Change Permission failed"

Thanks again.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I'd be interested in what other see when you put the attached on your phone and view it. Just drop the mpo file on the sd card under DCIM\100MEDIA and then view it via the gallery. Turn the phone landscape with the capacitive buttons on the right. When you hold the phone as you would to view any 3D image, you should be able to close one eye at a time and see two different images. If the phone has perfect separation, you'd see the word LEFT with only your left eye open and RIGHT with only the right eye open. But inevitably, you'll probably be able to see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word too ("LEFT" in the right eye or "RIGHT" in the left eye).

How much crosstalk do you see? I see a faint ghost of the "wrong" word indicating there is some crosstalk or ghosting but it's really pretty good separation. The ghosting on mine is pretty faint but I can still see the wrong (ghosted) word in each eye. The interesting thing is, on my phone, the amount of ghosting varies. On mine, the "T" in "RIGHT" is the darkest/worst.

I'm just wondering how much variation there is in our screens and if some are better than others. Be sure to close one eye at a time and fine tune the angle of the phone so you can get the best angle with the minimum possible ghosting.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Worked for me. I don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Pretty cool how that works. No ghosting at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Hmm. Ended up being pretty easy to take a picture of what I see through my left eye. Just use a camera and move to the left of center while looking through the viewfinder until the ghosted word is as dim as possible and take a picture. This is what mine looks like.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Geeble:
I Also don't see the opposite with either eye closed. Is cool indeed but wouldn't it just matter how your holding your phone ? If i slightly tilt it with one eye closed then i start to see the opposite word.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
The key is to tilt the phone back and forth while closing one eye at a time so that you get the minimum amount of ghosting at one particular tilt: that's the best you'll be able to do with a real 3D image. Distance from your eyes also does make a difference so you kinda have to play with it.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Oh Lord. I hope this thread doesn't end up spawning another group of returns/exchanges. :( I just tested this on my wife's 3vo. Hers has a crooked screen and it doesn't show a trace of ghosting under the exact same conditions and brightness! Mine (with a straight screen) shows the ghosting problem. Not only that, hers keeps good separation through a much wider range of angles! Mine fluctuates a lot and it is VERY picky WRT angle. Completely different than hers.

One reason I tried this is that I've always felt that my first 3vo, one with a crooked screen, had better 3D depth and my new one with the straight screen just didn't have the same depth. Now I know why. I guess with these screens you either get a crooked screen or bad 3D. :rolleyes: Wonder if there are any out there that have both a straight screen and good 3D? Both phones are HT16 serial numbers and 0002 hardware so they should have the same screen, right? If so, there seems to be some variation in how well the 3D works on these screens.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I guess I need to change my name. From this point forward you shall all refer to me as Ima. Ima Weetodd. :rolleyes:

I looked through the 3D samples and the one with the river, rocks, and the mountains in the background looked especially bad. You could see ghosts of the rocks on either side and it really ruined the 3D effect. The Garfield 3D trailer from YouTube looked horrible too: hard to even resolve a single image. Visions of me going back to the Sprint store for a second exchange started to enter my mind. Until...

Guess what? I never would have expected this! I cleaned my screen thoroughly and NO ghosting at all now!!! It didn't even look dirty but apparently a thin film of finger grease is all that was needed to cause the ghosting. Apparently there was just enough refraction to cause a decent portion of the wrong side to get through to each eye. I repeated the separation test and looked at the pics/videos again with a clean screen: zero ghosting. Just to be sure I wasn't insane or switching the screen off/on wasn't what caused it, I actually rubbed my hands all over my face and then over the screen until I could see a faint film. I'm not a particularly greasy dude but that's all it tool: ghosts galore came back.

I guess if nothing else, I've learned a dirty screen REALLY affects 3D and if anyone has any question about whether or not their 3D is working properly, the image attached to the OP should serve us well.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Something else I noticed. This is proof positive that the phone does support 3D in portrait mode. Bring up the image in portrait and look at it. It is VERY sensitive to angle and there is a little ghosting but at just the right angle, it does work. Holding the phone portrait, only "LEFT" shows to the left eye and "RIGHT" shows to the right eye. If you are off even a fraction of a degree though, you start seeing the words appear in various primary colors as you tilt the phone. At just the right angle (face-on), it does appear to fully support 3D in portrait.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Have you tried using the wand icon to correct the issue? Mine works perfectly although I do feel I need to hold it with the right side of phone slightly closer to my face rather than straight on.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
The "Adjust 3D alignment" feature adjusts how far apart the two frames appear via shifting the frames in/out a certain number of pixels. That will have no affect on ghosting: ghosting/crosstalk is an error in the alignment of the two parallax barriers on the screen. That gap/angle is not adjustable.
