Rooting the flyer? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Anybody know a root method?
Sent from my HTC Flyer using XDA Premium App

Seeing as this has only been out for a short time worldwide and just launched this weekend in the US... it may be a week or two before we see a fully functional root method.
Looking forward to CWM and CM7 though!

To update or to wait on root

Should I apply the new update or should i wait on details about root. The only reason I would do new update is because people claim its helping battery life

Wait for root, I did not notice any battery life improvement with OTA, the battery will get better if you discharge and charge in full cycles do not charge half way

Wait for root. None of the devs updated. If they achieve root, only for people who didn't update will probably to root for a while. Just be patient.

Personally I did the OTA Updates because I don't think that Root will be achieved until HTC produces the update that removes the Bootloader Encryption. That being said, once the encryption is removed, I believe the root method will not be restricted by the OTA's that have been released. Worst case I would have to wait an extra week for them to fix the root method for the folks who did take the OTA's.
For now, I want to enjoy my phone as much as possible. I want to be able to show off The Green Hornet movie etc to friends. I want the bug fixes.
I also paid and got the Sprint Insurance with the $100 deductible so if I am wrong I can always drop my phone in the toilet and get a new one, but I doubt it will ever come to that.
Update if you like.
Just because the devs are likely not updating does not mean or prove anything. Nothing has been verified that those with OTA updates and those without will vary any differently once root is achieved. HTC made it well known of it's intention to unlock the bootloader before sending out the update.
Personally, I have enjoyed the update...
I saw a notable dif with the ota don't think it will hinder root but every phone is different I guess

I think he is pretty much just asking a general question. And it's "pinned", not "pined".

Jay that's so funny. Why be a smart ass when someone asks a question even if its been asked or answered a million times. It's really uncalled for.
Evo 3D in full Affect
I'd say probably not, since the HTC root is all you need.

Hopefully...this way ua can hook u up with some friggen themes already lol .....but I personally haven't heard anything announce by them guys lately. Also I hear the HTC UNLOCK ie all that bad. Besides them keeping track of it of course. Yeah I know, I'm not helping.

I don't see what motivation they would have since HTC already provides an unlock method.

No. HtcDev ONLY. Ever. Or don't root it.
Those be the options set before you.
One more thing I would like to see some light shed on is .....if we use HTC's unlock method it basically voids your warrenty......but if your phone is lost or damaged will it affect a claim through asurion....our TEP...........
what do you guys think???
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
This is what I did to root 1.5 its still s-on but you can flash anything....

See i think it voids your warranty with HTC themselves but because you pay for the TEP your all good. I don't think HTC informs Sprint who is eligible and who isn't. But plenty of people here that used HTC's method has gotten a replaces thru asurion. I know that much

I just had my EVO 4G replaced under warranty for a charging issue. Clearly rooted, the sprint tech turned my phone on & said "what in the hell!?" I had a CM7 based, ICS themed ROM on there. Still got replaced. He said i would have to pay to have my phone repaired if it ever needed that because it was rooted.
Guys as far as i noe no root for hboot 1.50 .......wait for ICS update

You can flash any rom or kernel with HTC unlock

My concern with the HTC unlock method is that it is one more thing to fix later. It permanently shows the phone was rooted. So, if someone comes along and gets the root working again then what? Suppose next week they say, hey we got Unrevoked to work on the Evo 3d again but if you previously used the HTC method your screwed still.

New OS will most likely have a new HBoot which will relock any one who HTC unlocked in the first place... Crushing root and melting the phone... Causing the world to end by skynet and last but not least zombies................................
There will be a way to get around it... It takes time.... You obviously have forgotten this isn't anyone's job to unlock your phone properly . You bought it knowing it may have 1.5 or got it from insurance... It's the name of the game..... HURRY UP AND WAIT

If you guys read the latest method to unlock 1.5 it isn't all that bad, specially with the in OS application that was built. The warranty void is rubbish, it means nothing to anyone here, and yes you will have s on but everything you can do with s off, you can do with the unlock method.

Yeah when I did it after updating (1.5) accidentally it was not so bad. I mean I have to install with terminal on my computer but its not a bad way. Just 2 lines of typing to launch recovery. If there is a fix cool but if not I can live without it. Cheers.

This is the debate that never ends, but my two cents: Honeycomb is great on the Flyer. You won't notice the loss of the capacitive buttons, and the on screen buttons will soon seem natural.
Plus, the ability to use the pen in any application is great, as is the superior handling of bluetooth keyboards (if you ever find yourself using one).
I'm 100% pro Honeycomb on the Flyer.
How do you plan to use it? For games honeycomb status bar don't go away. Many have complained of accidentally touching it during game play and losing their work. Also, if you use kindle and/or nook app, the honeycomb bar also don't go way. Therefore, you lose screen restate. In other words, if you need the maximum amount of space DON'T UPGRADE TO HONEYCOMB

LOL.

I upgraded, and found I missed the phone ability. I'm now running leeDroid's HC and am a happy camper again. The loss of BT phone isn't a huge deal for me, as I only plan to use the phone part while traveling overseas and speakerphone is fine.
But aside from the phone, HC is a thing of beauty on the Flyer.
Ill upgrade when more apps are HC/ICS friendly. I use the Flyer for movies and occasionally for notes. Currently HBOGO's lack of compatibility is keeping me from upgrading.

I've found a few apps that hide, for lack of a better term, from me in the Market. Most seem to have been uploaded here, so they don't stay hidden long. But it can be a little annoying. Fortunately, since we can download from here directly onto the phone memory, it's only 1 additional hoop to jump through.

HTC and S-OFF Petition

Just thought I'd post the link here since i own the One X and Evo 3D.
Follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657241
Signed. God what they do is annoying. Time to modify my signature.
EDIT: Dear lord, that is a ton of signatures. How many do you have total?
Looks like there are over 200. Hopefully HTC Listen for once! My E3D is S-OFF and my One X is rooted but its difficult to turn S-OFF. I have to manually flash boot.img which is annoying. Back on stock awaiting the Jellybean OTA
signed it
I think my Evo3D will be the last HTC phone i buy for a long time. To many annoying things (S-On security, bad support, build in batteries, no SD slot). If HTC goes on this way they will loose their last custumers.

Random reboots

This morning I had the 2nd random reboot in 2 days on my HTC One, has anybody else had this? It has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted and has CWM Touch Recovery, but I haven't done any other modifications to it.
Well, no reboots today, knock on wood, but I'll keep an eye on it.
Well, no reboots for a couple of days now.

No, but it hasn't done it the past few days, so I am hopefully okay. Is yours still doing it?
