Apologies if this has been covered somewhere in the 70 pages of replies, but this doesn't appear to work for my Sprint Shift. :(

Prep seems to finish OK, although it clears the screen after it's finished so I'm not sure... I do see it say something about GG! which given the Starcraft meme it's working with I assume means success ;)

For Attempt Root, I can see that Superuser is installed on the phone after it finishes. If I try to run Superuser without rebooting, it force closes. If I reboot, it's no longer installed.

Root Check Basic says I don't have root both before and after a reboot.

S-OFF doesn't seem to work either, gives me this error:

New .modinfo section size: 204

Attempting to power cycle eMMC... Failed.

Module failed to load: Operation not permitted

Which I'm guessing is because root didn't work. It then tells me to sign up for an account on htcdev for the unlocker, but the Shift isn't listed as a supported device there, so I haven't tried that.

I'm on the 2.3.3 update if that makes any difference....

Also, I think there's a bug in your script that lets option 3 fall through into option 4. You're missing a GOTO:EOF in your :menu_3 label :)

update

I found a solution for my WiFi tethering issue. I had to go to the link I posted in my previous post, that I have quoted above. Downloaded the "WiFi Tether Beta 6". Then in the settings options I had to enable "Enable Routing-Fix".

Any other version of "Wireless Tether" would give me an error when initiating. In the Log file it would show that it would fault when "Activating WiFi Interface".

Anywho, hope this helps anyone else who might have had the same issue as me.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linsalata28:
First I would like to thanks the dev's of this tool.

I have a few questions.

1. I'm trying to root the t-mobile wildlife s does this work for that one cause I think there was more then one of them made?

2. Will this only work on windows if so is there any plans to make a Linux version?

I did read through most of this thread but didn't see any definit answers about this so sorry in advance if these have been asked and feel free not to answer if they have.

TIA for any replies.

Unlocked, but S-ON

I'm trying to root my EVO 3D, but I've succeeded only in unlocking the HTC bootloader via HTC Dev and Super Tool Unlocker. Why won't my device allow root at this point?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Black Theorem:
So can the rooting process be done on a mac?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
Right now it's only windows. Linux and mac coming soon enough. I am dealing with a lot of crap in real life so I haven't been to active but all should clear up soon unless im behind bars ;)

And to everyone that is complaining sorry it didn't work for you, your right this thread should be closed since you can not get it to work, and obviously I should /wrist because I failed on making a tool to make your life easier.

Followup:

I finally got S-OFF by using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

First problem i had is the HTC Sync/Drivers wouldn't install for whatever reason. I finally had to manually install the drivers, which are located under the HTC folder in Program Files.

Pain in the butt going through all these either fully documented long ways around, or undocumented cludgy shortcuts. Either way, you're likely to spend 4+ hours doing it if you've never tried rooting or heard of these terms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ender666666:
I have a problem.

I tried using Supertool v2.0 with my rooted and S-OFF'd EVO3D GSM (from Rogers)

I first prepped my phone (Option 1)

I then pushed the newer market to my device (Option 9)

I then decided to test out what de-sensing my device would be like (Option 6)

After testing it out for a few minutes I decided to revert to using Sense and restored it (Option 7)

**** Here's where my problem started****

Upon restoring Sense, I found that a couple of my HTC widgets weren't back in place (HTC Clock/Weather widget, HTC Music widget).

When I tried to add them again, I found that they were missing entirely from my device, AND that their apps were gone too. I am missing my HTC Music app and cannot run it at all. Those are the two that I have NOTICED are missing... There COULD be more.

So, this post is a warning to others who might try to muck around that not all is 100% perfect, and a request for advice on how to get these back without a complete device wipe or restore from a previous backup (Yes, I'm an idiot who didn't make a Backup before playing - My most recent Backup is about a month-and-a-half old)

Can anyone help?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yatman60:
Doesn't work with Thunderbolt.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
Thank you for the feedback. Luckily all de sensing does is disables all the sense plugins so nothing is deleted but I will look in on why everything didnt re-enable and I was also thinking I should probably push the launcher to system. there is an update coming I promise guys but I am not giving a date because I probably wont meet my own deadline and I dont need anymore hate emails LOL
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bluegrassman:

What are the chances of getting some instructions on how to use this? I was wondering if it works on a HTC Desire Z running OTA 2.3.3, I'm a little bit scared to just jump in and see what happens since this is the 3rd DZ I've owned and all ones before it have been bricked (Nothing to do with rooting but still).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDogg1329:
Well I tried it on my HTC DZ (OTA 2.3.3), no luck, everything went fine as far as I could tell from the script, but titanium backup and Juice Defender (AOSP or ASOP helper) didn't recognize root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Iksos84:
hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I unfortunately have a Wildfire S... When I read that my device was in the supported list of thi tool I went mad!!! but I tried more than once to Root and/or S-OFF it without success...

I have the GSM version of the mobile so maybe that's why this tool doesn't work!

This tool is actually for every Wildfire S or only for CDMA version???

maybe you have already answered to my question before, but maybe something changed! :)

another question: during the S-OFF process in the cmd window I read "Out of memory" (I can't remember the rest of the sentence). Is it possible that I have not enough free memory for the S-OFF process???

thank you in advance for your answer!!!

Thanks for this guys, Worked on my Desire S Red from Vodafone.

For some reason it didn't work first time, kept saying it couldn't create su directory

So I ran S off, which worked and then tried option 1 and 2 and got root after that, so that may help people if they are struggling too.

Thanks again guys, now time for titanium back to remove all this crappy bloatware
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JDogg1329:
I can't get it working on my Vodafone Desire z
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Erandel:
SkinnerY2K, what bootoader / phone type are you using, as its a possiblity that certain networks / bootloaders work, or maybe even model type (CCMA etc)

Also did you run the process from scratch, or did you have the android developers kit installed?

from the evidence so far I would suggest that this tool has afair chance of NOT working, but we need to narrow down to he phones that do work.

looks like the xtc-clip tool is the most reliable method still to get S-off on HTC wildfire S devices.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hawk19:
It's possible make SuperCID with this tool ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Cool cool... used the tool to disable sense, however, as expected the lock screen and certain sense like traces remain.

Will there ever be a way to remove all of these? Using the HTC Design 4G.

Can things be set to a complete stock andorid after root only? Or do we need a custom rom to make these changes?

Thanks again everyone for all the help!

T Mobile G2

I have a G2, and I'm getting the same error in the fastboot oem get_identifier_token (Command error !!!) step as mentioned upthread. I tried reading chunks of the thread, but can't find anywhere where anyone posted success with a G2 (although it's listed as a successful phone). I'd love to know if this is a standard hiccough that everyone with this phone hit and there's anything to do to work past it, or if this is it for my phone and the tool.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Quit Crying

This may not work with every phone. If you cant get the tool to work instead of crying about it give us some info and maybe someone here will help you. The DEVS put a lot of time into this and have never claimed it to work for everyone. Rooting isn't always easy and you always do so at your own risk. Why don't you ask nicely and see if someone will help you? The community here is always more than helpful. If you act like an ass you are going to get exactly "Jack ****" for help.

Yeah, I'm not sure. My CPU on my main machine is an i2500K so nothing unusual. I don't have non-Win7 x64 machines here at home to test with and my arsenal of VM images is at my office so I cant test the theory immediately.
