This has to be a new record..... THIS IS THE WRONG SECTION OF THE FORUM.
THIS IS THE HTC ONE FORUM NOT GSIII

sorry, im new to this.
It's fine, Just make a new thread in the correct forum (Mods don't seem to clean out this forum sadly >.>). It's just that for some reason, the HTC One Trouble shooting forum has gotten the most threads that aren't related to HTC One at all.

The thing is that everyone just wants to post here, even Samsung's people.

Haha and there's a new gsIII post right above this threat. Amazing.

I often get samsung and htc mixed up as the words are so similar

What is the best way to root the atrix? Root so I can install a custom ROM.
you need to unlock the bootloader to install roms.
Also thread reported. Didn't search and wrong forum.

Best way is doing a little research before wasting your time opening useless threads in wrong forums

first off i want to know why you think im in the wrong forum? This is the atrix dev forum. Im in the right section. Report all you want. I asked a simple question. After looking through all the threads I couldnt find the best way. Im asking for the best way not a guide.

First this is the dev forum and your not a dev nor dose your thread lead to anything that is under development or hasn't been developed the hell out of to where its not relevant anymore, second you asked a question >,> there is a Q&A section for I don't know questions and answers <,< last you admit that you found multiple guides in your last bit so.... do tell why is this development with over 400 posts..... Id like to see you come up with a good explanation.....
Are any of you guys mods?? Let the mods do their jobs without adding more useless posts telling the kid how dumb he is

FFS, you could have just answered the dudes question with one post without bumping the thread to the top all day long.
Now, THE ANSWER IS: there is no best way. It either works or it doesn't (either successfully gives your root or doesn't).
Having said that, the most bullet proof way according to people's feedback is the preinstal method, BUT... CWM method and gingerbreak also successfully worked for me both on 2.2.2 and on 2.3.4.
p.s. People on here are right. You only create new threads in Development section if you developed something. You could have just left a post in one of the root threads, or opened a question thread in Q/A forums.
Cheers.

Rooting isn't required to install a custom ROM. Unlocking is.
Anywhoo, the dev section isn't a questions forum. Before you post, read the stickies.
Infraction given to OP, thread closed.
As the title states. Can I root my phone going off of last night's update? If so, where should I look?
Thanks!
Check the Q/A thread at the top of this subforum. It should have info regarding Revolutionary that should work for you, I believe.
I will never understand why people wait on OTAs and THEN want to root. I can't think of a time when an OTA ever made it easier since exploits are "usually" removed/patched. Add that to the fact that the user could have rooted by an already known working method prior to an OTA and still flashed a leak of the official release before it was ever even pushed out. I suppose it makes sense for someone that just bought their phone but otherwise :shrug:
Yes, the Revolutionary tool should work just fine. http://revolutionary.io/

This revolutionary method has been confirmed working, saw on another forum as well but won't post the link as I believe against rules.

This is easily the most unnecessary thread I've seen in a LONG time. You had to look right at a number of stickied threads that would have answered this question.
Revolutionary does work after the GB update, I rooted my Thunderbolt yesterday, S-off,
DL Recovery, flashed the SU zip file. Took all but 10 minutes. Working great.
Someone should try and count up the number of "I updated to GB and want to know how to root" threads

Yeah, I thought about that. But, I'd like to point out that using the search feature isn't optional, it's kinda in the rules and demanded.
If you took the time to type out those replies, you might as well have just searched this forum yourself and posted the link, as well as telling them what they should do in the future. Swfreak wins this round. Then have the thread closed.

1st post by this member and more helpful than many other members around here...
i understand forums have these search options and stickies and what not but reality is... most people don't/forget/not aware/don't care that the answer is around here somewhere even if it's right in front of them.
In fact 99% of the time any question that is asked the answer lays somewhere in this forum. so what? what's another thread that was posted in the correct sub-forum called "Thunderbolt Q&A".
Hell what's the point of this sub-forum anyways if members are not gonna give answers but DIY smart ass remarks.
at least he knew enough to post the question in the right sub forum, lol.
btw, how is the new ota? i dont know if im going to try it.

uh....... The link is in my sig!!!! Just me posting 10 characters answers the question!!!!
I always wondered why there are two sub-forums, Q&A and General. Then I looked closer and the one is for "questions" (and answers obviously) and the other is for discussion.... So, there should be NO questions in the General forum, right ?
Kinda silly, methinks. Combine 'em into one, I say.

Amen. I hope that's not trolling. I am sort of new to this posting thing Don;t know if this is the right forum, but I appreciate the help you all give to us new guys. I do agree about the "search" thing though.
Thanks and my 2 cents
Thanks for the info. I did use search to find my answer, and that's what I got. Let me first say that I am very appreciative of all of the time you guys spend here helping out the less knowledgeable. Now for the other...
You guys are obviously here to gain info and to give...right?
So I don't understand why so many of you insist on bashing newbies when they don't do things exactly right. I would just like to remind you that at one time you were also a newbie, and probably did not post in the right forum or just maybe posted a question that had already been asked! Let's take what our mother's taught us..."If you don't have anything nice to say," you now the rest...
I know that I have been reading these forums and have spent hours and hours trying to find the answers I was/am looking for. And sometimes I just want a direct answer to my specific question...though I dare not post a question fearing that I get flamed because it *may* be posted elsewhere...
In closing, please just try to be nice...it's not the end of the world if there is more than one place the same question is answered. Just reply with the link, and maybe the person will realize to do a search for his next question...
Thanks for listening... and please, don't flame me
I was just catching up on the thread in the general section that says root has been achieved, and then the last post says that you can find the info in the development section? I don't see a development section for our phone yet, are they referring to the sprint models development thread? I'm apparently missing something here... When I first bookmarked our forum there was a development section, but I don't see it there anymore?
I think you need at least 10 quality posts to view the development thread. I've lurked here for a few years with not much to add since I'm no dev. It's time for me to give back where I can.
I believe they made all sections (General, themes, q&a and development) and opened them up together. After a few post in the General you should see it because it's definitely there

U r not alone...im not able to see it either, and i need it so i can see the how to guide for rooting...i hope its not too hard because ive never done it on any of my phones before

This is actually just a reference to a sprint root guide. You can thank cypher_zero for putting that together.

I am just confirming that this method works if you need clockwork mod and or root access.
It is working like a dream on my T999.
For those of you looking for a Video guide qbking77 put this video together for a quick guide. Be sure to thank him for that.

Glad I have been around for years then :-D, this was news to me.
yes, looks like the Dev forum is disabled for us rookies
Yeah, same here for me. I've been a lurker for years and now I "have to" be more involved. I guess it's not so bad.

Yea, that's ridiculous. Now we are going to have a bunch of noobs running around posting nonsense just so they can read the dev thread (not saying you are noob, looks like you've been here a while)
Hello everyone,
I'm coming from the desire and dhd topic and in there, we only hace dhd development. But here, and on many other, we have one x+ dev and one x+ original dev. What is the difference between them?
I thought it would be in the FAQ or rules, but found nothing
thanks

There is a portal article explaining that: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/introducing-original-development-forums-for-more-devices/.
In basic: If you don't have a AOKP/AOSP/CM rom, don't bother to post in "Original Development", you will be kicked out .
ah, looks like I missed that portal news. Thanks!
I've posted comments about a few ROMs in this forum already today.
Just thought I'd ask who the Admin is...?
Seems we would want to move many of the items posted, to the non-Tmobile HTC One forum. Quantity isn't quality. If there are a bunch of posts, but they don't pertain to the Tmobile version then we might as well all be hanging out in the main HTC One forum. Ya know?
