You can unlock bootloader by using htc method go to htcdev.com. Note using this voids the warranty.
What is the diff between this and the other one click root available?

I don't know how the OP set up this script, but if he didn't include adb you need to install the Android SDK and put the folder with adb.exe in your path environmental variable.
If you aren't sure what that means that's fine, but I suggest doing a bit more research before you wander so deep into the sea of Android modding. If you don't know what you are doing you can have a very bad time.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this... Those are the same files that get put on the device with the other root. Also, unfortunately, the zip to flash will not work, you mount /system as an MTD partition, not eMMC, and you only place the busybox binary in xbin. I guess busybox will still work, it's just not installed with the symlinks. Hope this helps ya out

care to explain HOW you classify this as a more stable root method??
to me thats a lil deceiving wording there as like mentioned before the same files are being used in the end...

Nice! So for being the noob that I am, this means that I do not need to have a custom recovery in order to flash, say, your ROM?

Had to use this to flash recovery on the fiance's phone. The zip would not flash properly when the bootloader started. Doing the commands manually didn't work, it would sit there saying the flashing was in process for a few minutes without ever finishing.

So Scott, if we can just use your tool to install any ROM, what do we need the Recovery tool for? In case we want to do it manually, or wipe the cache/Dalvic, run a nandroid backup, etc?
I must be blind or stupid... or both. Can't find the download link for CleanFlash here or on your website. Can you help?
....Nevermind....
Yup, just stupid. Didn't see the Downloads tab. Duh...

So from what I can see, the advantage of this ROM is that it deletes rather than disables the bloat. But the downside is that it crashes when you use the Market?
I am now unlocked and rooted, so I will continue to use the VZW ROM, but with all bloat and Sense removed until such time as an ICS based ROM comes out.

I think we are getting confused here. I think you are confusing CleanTOOL with CleanFLASH. Can you confirm?
So after I unlock my phone with HTCDev, I use this tool to flash a recovery or something?

How dangerous is it to root an android.

I was wondering how dangerous it is to root an android. I was thinking about if theres any way to undo a root so it's undetectable. Since I don't want to root my phone then not be able to use my warranty.

You can always unroot setting everything as "outside the factory" and use your warranty.
I should have phrased that better. I'm meant more along the lines of,if my phone fails to boot. Is it still possible to remove any evidence of the root or am I ****ed?

BIG NO
There are certain things in life which are not for everyone. XDA is one of them.
EDIT: Sorry I was thinking about bootloader while saying BIG NO. I goofed up here. :laugh:
I have rooted before on an android with expired warranty so I know how to root. I was just wondering how unsafe it is for your warranty.
Odp: How dangerous is it to root an android.
I rooted my l9 soft bricking it 6 times during the procces i put CWM and non branded software. It worked OK but GPS broke
I needed to make it stock for the waranty repairs so i run LG soft for firmware update and chose emergency software recovery.
After some time i had pure stock l9 ready to ship for service center.
Right now i have rooted l9 (again) with working GPS
So unless you unlock bootloader you can revert to stock and have warranty.

have you rooted and dabbled into Android before? i say this because p769 was the most annoying and troublesome roots i've ever done. if you haven't messed with any Androids yet, i would HIGHLY suggest you just leave it alone until someone comes up with an easier way to do it.
Yeah when I rooted my first Android it was with z4root so I'll just be patient and wait.

You are right, it may be hard to some pals, who have no experience in kdz flashing. But everyone here can do it and are on rooted JB with CWM Touch.
If yan can do you can do too. Try again. :laugh: yan = anyone

Not that dangerous with some phones as the bootloader is locked like my L9 and preferably i like it cause you cant brick it but theres always risks in rooting nothing is ever perfect and nothing can be perfect

Root = giving yourself administrative permissions. Similar to user control or run as admin, administrator access on windows.. except the programs are missing. You just add them, and control what's allowed or not. If you need to reverse, just remove the programs.. Simple.
If you give yourself permission to delete your files or edit the registry. If you don't know what you're doing you may render your OS unbootble or unusable.. same on rooted android..
More dangerous than Steve Irwin swimming with stingrays.... oh... wait...
Seriously tho, it's only as dangerous as your ability to follow instructions.

[MOD] Google Wallet fix (MUST have custom recovery)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282892
all support will be discussed in this thread.. i originally made this for the t-mobile variant. ATT users were able to push the files of the fix into their phone because they didnt have a custom recovery, and it worked..
It is now confirmed that an ATT user now with a custom recovery has flashed this fix and it is now confirmed working.
I now present this to you guys. Would love to see you guys with wallet working using verizon. feel free to test this, but i STRONGLY reccomend you making a backup, or having a rom saved on your sd card that you can revert to in case any errors come about. Im almost sure this will work successfully if the instructions are followed correctly.
thanks and if you have any questions, ask in my original wallet thread.

Ok, so I used root explorer to change the .prop lines then booted into recovery (twrp) and flashed the file listed and that went well.
Now, what permissions do I have to "fix" and how do I do that? I wasn't promoted nor saw an option to do this in TWRP recovery.
I rebooted and installed the wallet app from the play store, opened it, and now it seems to be stuck on "Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes" and nothing happens.
What did I do wrong and how do I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Okey so in the new update (1.1) I've made it so i can specify what the download link is for both cwm and twrp.
All you guys need to do is let me know when there is a newer version!

Not just your tool that ends in a bootloop, the n5 bootloader actually has some faults, I was thinking of making a patched bootloader for the device, but due to noone having a bricked device i cannot

So do I have to do something to fix the bootloop issue? Also why is that so? You need to have a bricked phone before you could make a patched bootloader.

wipe data factory reset(data, dalvik and cache)
that fixes the bootloop!
and modifying the bootloader is quite risky, if you do something wrong it could fail to write, fastboot and adb can fail to operate, cauld cause major issues that are un repairable without riffbox etc.. and even sometimes that doesnt work...
looks good, but bugs as above..
so pls solve them soon

Fixed Bootloop Issue! == Version 1.2 Released!
Version 1.2 has been released!
This is to address the bootloop issue that some users have been getting. I hope this works!
Do we need 20 toolkits doing the same stuff? People need to learn what they are doing. With the rise of kits there is a rise in bricked phones for stupid reasons. People flashing cm kernels on non cm roms because they have no idea.
One kit is enough stop reinventing the wheel. Put your skills to something more useful.

I had a feeling this would be bad. I get your point, this was posted ages ago. Don't worry, the nexus isn't my main place anymore.
Thanks for your input.

That's funny. So you revived a 4 month old Dead Thread for what?? So we could hear your useless stupid rants about a contribution that someone wanted to make, an area which you have failed to achieve. If people don't read and know what they are doing then that is their fault, not someone who wanted to learn and or grow his skills by creating a toolkit. Put your skills to something useful and release something of your own, don't go being critical trying to revive old threads for no reason; and complaining about toolkits all over various Nexus 5 threads. Grow Up!

G935A Root

Warning this is engboot, meaning its not made to be used on day to day basis you may run into some issues. Hopefully we can fix them as we go!
Also do not update supersu through playstore untill we are for sure that it wont mess anything up
Notice from @Chainfire:
Chainfire said:
I'm just going to leave this here...
SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
You will need:
- Engineering boot images
- Patched version of Odin3 (only AT&T models ?)
- Extract files, and run root.bat with adb on the path
This version of SuperSU is not officially supported. I recommend against updating the APK from the Play Store, or otherwise updating the binaries, unless someone knowledgable has tried before you and confirmed it worked.
If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

First of all thanks to @Chainfire for helping achieve su and @princecomsy for giving me the odin file and engboot
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device, same goes for everyone that helped.
First file you will need is here http://d-h.st/gsDA
This is special Odin to bypass SHA-256 made by Princecosmy
Second file you will need is
G935A http://d-h.st/lQY8
G930A http://d-h.st/aK2A
This is the engboot. Using @billas since its already uploaded.
Basically once you have these two files open up the odin included and place the .tar in the ap section should only take a few seconds to flash.
After you are back up download SuperSU made for our phone from here https://download.chainfire.eu/968/SuperSU/SuperSU-v2.74-2-S7QC.zip
Extract the files to a folder.
Here it may get a bit tricky for some.
Go to your adb install location. Open a command window where your adb files are located.
Change the directory to your supersu folder location from earlier, and run the root.bat from the cmd.
I am not very good at instructions as this is my first time doing anything like this.
For the bounty id prefer if you just donate to https://secure.savethechildren.org/....C01C/Global_Action_Fund/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp
Makes more of a lasting impact then what i could do with any of it.
Again thank you to everyone who helped!
We made it fam!
If you are successful after rooting and can give better instructions please let me know!
Thanks a lot.....you guys are awesome...
Thanks! I'll be trying this for T-Mobile varient. But can someone please mirror the Speedyshare links? I can't download them for some reason. Popup blockers perhaps?

Will this work for the ATT S7 Edge? When you say not to use on day to day basis, do you do root stuff then revert back to regular kernel?

You can use it on a day to day basis. Dont try going back it will remove what you have done. The issues if there are any are minor.
And yes it is for ATT S7 edge.
I have a few questions here.
What exactly is going on with this root process? Is it installing a recovery? Will this trip knox? I assume Samsung Pay won't work anymore? Can we finally used xposed? If so, which version?
How can one revert if we felt the need to?
I feel so sorry for @br3w3r for having to deal with all of the Q&A after all of this hard work. LOL! But seriously, thanks for all of this.

The email is for @princecomsy, he is going to get it then split with me. Chainfire said he did not want bounty. Even though i feel he deserves it.

I'll be installing soon too. But I'm doing something first.
While downloading G935TUVS3APD8_G935TTMB3APD8_TMB firmware (just in case) I'm also backing everything up with Smart Switch first. Just in case.
