I cant thank you enough as this method finally got me to root my inspire. However I am having a problem. Upon rooting my SD card gets unmounted. When I try to mount it I lose root. Any insight on what I could do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] The Lepricon:
I just did exactly what Frigid said to do in the first post.

I did root, de-sense, wifi, and market. Haven't tried the wifi tether. Does not delete any data.

What are you having a problem with?

Actually i havent tried yet.. im going to try it on my gfs phone but i wanted to make sure tethering works.. thats the main reason why i want to root her phone

EVO Shift not work

Anyone got the EVO Shift aka speedy? I tried it a few times one time I got the SuperUser installed but it keep crashing never got root to work. :mad: I also see the SC card unmount and remount. I don't know for sure if that had anything to do with it as others have talked about. Thanks for your help.

You could just pay $5 and download Klink Red Edition from market. That allows tethering without root via usb

I just found this thread and I was total psyched that I can finaly unlock my sensation xl. I want to remove the simlock because using different simcard in different countrys. My Sensation XL is rooted. Step 1 and 2 are working perfectly.

I thought the tool would require or at least make use of an S-OFF SPL, but that made no difference.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plazteknyc:
Same here with my friend's EVO Shift. The HTCSuperTool works, pushes su, and it appears on the phone. I can't figure out why shortly after the su binary seems to disappear. If you open the SuperUser app, click on Preferences, right after the rooting process you will see it report SU Version 3.07 or something then it will suddenly change to "vnull". As if the SU binary suddenly is removed. If you try to update the SU binary, it fails with the error that it can't locate the su binary.

Temp Root

I don't know if this helps or not but at step 2, I was able to gain temp root on my G2 while still connected to the computer. If I unplug it from the computer it doesn't have root access anymore and the superuser app disappears. I used the screenshot it app to test this.

Indeed, doesn't seem like anyone can get this work fully on the Evo Shift. It does actually temp root it but it doesn't stick for whatever reason. It probably should be taken off the list on the first page (or who ever tested it should be so kind and let us know what they did). Since it does sorta work I have hope that the bugs will be worked out.

********READ THIS AGAIN AS I'VE EDITED IT

Hi, My phone (Desire S Red from Vodafone) was completely stock

I ran the options 1 and 2 to prep and root, that didn't work.

So I ran the option to S-off but all it did was unlock bootloader (Is that meant to happen or did I press the wrong option???)

and it did a factory re-set.

I then ran option 1 and 2 again and it rooted my phone. I still have S-On though, when I boot to Hboot it says

I really don't want to use HTC's method to root and Revolutionary has yet to come up with a root for 1.5. So will this root 1.5 with out HTC knowing I rooted or is this just a one click HTC root?

EVO Shift not work

Since there as been a lot of people say the EVO shift does not work with this does anyone know of an other way to root my EVO shift with 2.3.3. I read you can downgrade it to 2.2 but I don't understand how to do that I'm new to rooting and need better instructions. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Well it worked for me... Design 4G, rooted first try. This has been verified using applications in super user mode.

It appears the wifi tether hack worked as well.

All I can say is good job!

I attempted the s-off, sim unlock and all that other noise, but it didn't seem to take. Bootloader unlock seems doable through htcdev directly.

KEEP UPDATING!!! You've got an amazing bit of software here.

First, let me say that I am a noob in life, as in status, and therefore unworthy. This is also my first post on this site, so, according to the noob video, I am deserving of the utmost scorn.

I have an EVO Shift 4g and my primary system is a MAC. I borrowed my wife's Windows XP laptop and ran it but it couldn't find (denied permissions to) my phone (I do have Android debugging enabled).

1) Do I need to do this on a Windows system or is there a way to set it up on MAC?

2) Do I need to load Android SDK before running HTC Super Tool? Could that be why the system didn't find, or denied permissions to, my phone?

3) Assuming I can get it to work, I am only going for Temp Root so I can run root-required apps. In the event of a reboot, can I then run fre3vo from my phone, to re-root, or do I need to run it again from a Windows device?

Thanks!

EVO Shift Issues

I think that the system partition needs to be mounted R/W when temp root is achieved then the su binary needs to be installed permanently. The problem is that I think the phone reverts any changes made to the /system partition. When you reboot the phone any changes you made while you were temp rooted are restored.

The Supertool v2 does work on a mac device. If you have experience using torrents and such, you can download a version of VMWare Fusion and install a Windows OS onto your VMWare partition on the Mac.

------------------------

I love my HTC EVO Shift. But, it frustratese me to no end that Android, the second most prolific OS in the whole smartphone industry, is so fragmented hardware and software-wise, that there is no universal root, and there are still phones, like the EVO Shift, that simply elude rooting.

Downloaded Drivers and the tool, for some reason dint work on vista 32bit.

Same files moved to 7 64bit worked fine.

Was able to get ROOT for titanium back up, tried to uninstall TMO MyAccount App,

it said it was uninstalled but after rebooting it was still there and the root was gone too.

So i m guessing its working but only temp. Any way to gain temp, after succesful temp root??
