Getting root on htc. Root Desire V

Unlocking the bootloader, installing recovery, getting root, flashing Custom ROM

At the moment, there is very little information on unlocking the HTC One X, and this is not surprising, since the model appeared relatively recently.
In this manual, I will describe how to unlock the bootloader, install a modified recovery and use it to subsequently gain root rights or flash custom firmware.

Remember, unlocking the bootloader through the official website htcdev.com is irreversible and after unlocking you will lose the warranty.
[My note: officially on htcdev it is written that you will only lose the warranty on software, not hardware (if the kernel has not been flashed)]

Part 1
Unlock BootLoader

So the first thing we need is to download and install HTC Sync from the official HTC website. [My note: I didn't need HTC Sync]
Next in order:
Go to the link www.htcdev.com/ and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download fastboot files: fastboot.zip (172.94 KB) Number of downloads: 5250
Create a new folder on your C: drive and name it Android.
Extract the downloaded ZIP from step 2 into the folder you created.
Go to www.htcdev.com/bootloader/, select All Other Supported Models in the list of devices and then click on the begin unlock bootloader button

Answer “Yes” to the question. Check both boxes, click next
Go to step 8 on HTC Dev, since we already have everything we need and what we are asked to do over the next 7 steps.

[(Windows XP - Click Start > Run >
(Windows 7 - Click Start >
Code
CD C:\Android
Now enter
Code
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
In the command line you will see a whole bunch of inscriptions, right-click and select “mark”, then use the keyboard arrows to go to the line<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>,
hold down the SHIFT button and also use the keyboard buttons to select what is indicated in the figure below:
Reduced by 43%

700 x 531 (202.89 KB)

To copy the selection, right-click on the text.
Paste the copied code into the field at the bottom of the page, click the SUBMIT button and very soon you will receive a letter from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and the “Unlock_code.bin” file attached to the letter.
Download “Unlock_code.bin” from your email and save it to the Android folder that we created in the 3rd step in the root of the C: drive.
Enter at the command line:
Code
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
A message will appear on the phone's display asking you to confirm your intentions to unlock the bootloader, press the Volume + button to select YES and confirm by briefly pressing the Power button.

Part 2
Flashing custom Recovery and installing custom firmware
Download CWM recovery from here.
Place the file you downloaded in the same folder where the Android files are located, that is, C:\Android
Hold the power button for 10 seconds, the phone will flash the touch buttons several times and begin to reboot. You need to press and hold the volume down button as soon as the screen goes dark, the phone will reboot into the bootloader. If you did this but the phone just turned off, then turn on the phone by holding the Power and Volume Down buttons
Select Fastboot. Navigate through the menu items using the volume keys, and to select, briefly press the power button.
Connect your phone to your computer and open Command Prompt.
(Windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in the box and press Enter)
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in the search box and press Enter)
Using the command line, navigate to the folder where we placed the files:
Code
CD C:\Android
Now enter on the command line:
Code
fastboot flash recovery name_downloaded_recovery.img
Hold the power button for 10 seconds, the phone will flash the touch buttons several times and begin to reboot. You need to press and hold the volume down button as soon as the screen goes dark, the phone will reboot into the bootloader. If you did this but the phone just turned off, then turn on the phone by holding the Power and Volume Down buttons
Select Recovery. Navigate through the menu items using the volume keys, and to select, briefly press the power button. The phone will reboot and you will be taken to CWM Recovery.
Select backup and restore
Select backup and wait, when the operation is complete you will see a message on the smartphone screen “Backup succesfully completed”.
Select Reboot System Now and wait until the phone reboots.

Part 3
Root or Custom
Now we have 2 options - just get root or sew custom.
[My note: as a proponent of the drain, I advise the first, because. There’s nothing useful in custom yet]

Attention! The firmware can take about 10 minutes to unpack. Before flashing the firmware, be sure to charge the device to at least 70%.

So, to get root on stock firmware, you need to download and flash this archive via CWM Recovery:
CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip (668.12 KB)Number of downloads: 1442

So we downloaded the archive in ZIP form, you need to put it into the memory of your phone (without unpacking), then reboot into recovery and do this:
install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sdcard and find the file we downloaded there, select it and confirm “YES”
After installation reboot system now.

That's it, now we have root rights

To flash a custom one, you need to download it, I tried several firmwares and stopped
on LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V2.2.0 (Description on XDA).
I’ll pour a little water on why this particular firmware.
The first thing I didn’t like about the stock firmware was the strip with three dots at the bottom of the screen for applications written under 2.3 and with support for the hardware menu button. In this firmware, the button for viewing recently launched applications now works as a hardware menu button, and to get a list of recently launched applications, you need to hold down the house as before
2 - Select reboot options. Availability of the Russian language without installing More Locale, full support for Landscape mode and customization of the status bar.
3 - Cut out a little extra, the rest that was not needed was cut out myself using Root Uninstaller Pro

So let's get started
We downloaded the latest firmware and here are the installation instructions:
Copy the archive we downloaded to the device’s memory.
Reboot into CWM recovery
Select wipe data\factory reset
Select wipe cache
Select Install zip from sd-card
Select the item Choose Zip from sd-card and find the file we downloaded in memory, select it and confirm “YES”
The Aroma installer's own menu will pop up, offering you a choice of what to do, what to install and what to delete, it's not difficult, I think you'll figure it out.
After the entire procedure, you will see the message Install from sd-card successfully completed.
Select Reboot system now.

Root rights (Superuser Rights) – provide the owner of a device running on the Android operating system with the ability to perform any operations. That is, you get full control over the system, which allows you to run specialized applications that significantly expand the capabilities of your smartphone, edit and change system files, optimize the operation of your device, and also perform many other operations. The need to obtain root rights can arise for a variety of reasons. The instructions below will be relevant regardless of what exactly prompted you to obtain superuser rights.

Obtaining root rights can be done using special utilities that automate this process and make it accessible even to novice users.

As part of this review, we will tell you how to get root rights on Android using special programs. We will look at the most common and convenient ways to get root. To complete this operation successfully, you just need to follow the instructions we have prepared. Before you start getting root, we strongly recommend that you study in more detail what superuser rights are and what risks they involve.

Attention

The procedure for obtaining root rights is simple and if you strictly follow the instructions, no problems will arise, but if you decide to take such a step, you must understand that potential risks remain. An irresponsible attitude towards the procedure can turn your device into a “brick”.

Advantages and disadvantages of root rights

Before you get root rights on Android, you need to decide whether this procedure is really necessary. Superuser rights have not only advantages, but also disadvantages. In principle, if you get root and later find out that they are useless, there is nothing wrong with that. Root rights can be removed at any time. However, no one will compensate you for lost time, so it’s better to think about everything in advance. To make it easier for you to make a choice, we will list the main advantages and disadvantages of root.

Root rights allow:

Remove standard pre-installed applications, built-in services and other junk that is protected from deletion by default;
Edit system files and programs;
Activate additional Android functions;
Install modified firmware and mods;
Optimize the operation of your device, increase battery performance, overclock the processor;
Work with applications whose functionality is only available if you have root.

Disadvantages of root rights:

The ability to receive over-the-air updates from the device manufacturer disappears;
Having root deprives the owner of the device of the right to warranty service (you can remove root);
You can delete files, the absence of which could negatively affect the operation of the system;
There is always a risk of making critical errors, as a result of which the device may permanently fail without the possibility of recovery.

How to get root rights on Android: instructions

The difficulty of rooting a device depends on the specific model. Sometimes it is enough just to install a special utility and follow a few steps. In some cases you will have to tinker, for example, owners of HTC brand devices must first unlock Bootloander. The guide below will apply to most models. If you are unable to root after following the instructions below, try finding a guide to rooting your model.

Before you get root rights on Android, you should familiarize yourself with information about the types of superuser rights.

Types of root rights:

Full Root— permanent rights that remove established restrictions.
Shell Root– an analogue of the above type with identical capabilities, but without access to the system folder.
Temporary Root– temporary Root access (valid until the device is rebooted).

Most often you need to get Full Root, which provides maximum capabilities. Be careful after rooting with these features. When deleting standard applications, you can delete a file, the absence of which will lead to problems with the system.

You can obtain superuser rights directly through the Android OS device itself or using a computer. In both cases, special utilities are used. As an example, let's look at the two most common programs.

Getting root rights using Framaroot

One of the most famous utilities for rooting devices running on Android OS is Framaroot. The program supports a huge number of different devices. Framaroot allows you to get root rights on your Android device in one click, without using a computer. The utility is easy to use and will not raise any questions even for novice users. To get root you do not need to use ADB commands, system flash files and other similar actions. Everything is extremely simple, fast and clear. True, the list of supported devices is limited, so the utility may be useless for you. In any case, you should start with Framaroot, and if unsuccessful, resort to using other programs.

To root using Framaroot, follow these steps:

Download the latest version of the program from the official website http://framaroot.ru/;
Install Framaroot from the downloaded apk file on your device (you must first allow the installation of applications from unknown sources in the Android security options);
If your device is supported by the program, the screen will prompt you to select an application to manage root rights and a method for obtaining superuser rights;
Select Superuser or SuperSU. Click on any exploit, for example Boromir. If all else fails, try another exploit;
If successful, a window will appear with a smiley face indicating successful rooting of the device. For the changes to take effect, you need to restart the device.

As you can see, the process of obtaining root using the Framaroot program is extremely simple and does not involve any difficulties. The main disadvantage of this utility is that it does not support all devices. If you can't get superuser rights using Framaroot, try other options.

Getting root rights using Kingo Android Root

Unlike the Framaroot application, the Kingo Android Root program can be installed not only on Android, but also on a computer. As for the process of getting root, everything is also quick and simple. You can download the Kingo Android Root program from the official website of the developer www.kingoapp.com completely free of charge. You can install the program on Android or Windows. First, we recommend trying to get root through the application, and if that doesn’t work, root the device via PC.

To get root rights through the Android application, follow the link above, download and install the utility. After launching the application, start the rooting process by clicking on the corresponding button. Now all that remains is to wait for the process to complete and check whether your device managed to obtain superuser rights. To check whether you have root rights or not, install the Root Checker application from Google Play.

If for some reason the method described above does not work for you, try getting root using the computer version of the program.

To get root rights via Kingo Android Root, follow these steps:

Enable USB debugging on your Android device (in the settings, go to “About phone”, then tap on “Build number” several times until a message appears saying that you have become a developer. Go to “Settings” - “For developers" and check the box "USB debugging");
Connect your device to your computer via USB;
The necessary drivers will begin to be installed automatically (an Internet connection is required);
After installing the drivers, the “ROOT” button will appear. Click on it and the rooting process will begin;
If the message Unlock Bootloader appears on your smartphone, you will need to select Yes using the volume buttons and briefly press the power button to confirm the choice;
Once the rooting process is complete, a “Finish” button will appear.

Framaroot and Kingo Android Root programs support a huge number of devices. If you did not succeed in getting root for your model following the given instructions, try to find a suitable guide specifically for your device.
