Step 1: Gather everything you need
First things first -- download the Samsung Kies software and make sure all the drivers for your phone on your PC are up to date. Back up all your contacts, photos and so on if you've already been using it, then disconnect your phone.
Then grab Odin 3 and the rooting software CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.

Step 2: Extraction
Extract Odin 3 using WinRar or similar and run the install executable file to install it to your computer. Then extract the CF-Root archive file. The crucial file in here is a .TAR file which my computer confusingly showed with the same compressed file icon, causing me to try to extract it, which showed two files -- Cache.img and Recovery.img.
If you see those, start again and extract the original archive just once. If you then open control panel > Folder Options and uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types' in the View tab and click apply, you'll be able to see that the file masquerading as an archive folder has the .TAR file extension. Perhaps put that file on your desktop so you know where to find it.

Step 3: Loading Odin
Open Odin. You should see that all the boxes and windows in the program are blank. Click on the PDA button in the Files [Download] box in the bottom right-hand quadrant.
That will open a folder browser window, letting you navigate to the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 .TAR file you extracted previously. Double click on that and it will load in the field next to the PDA button.

Step 4: Put your phone into download mode
You'll need to set your phone to go into 'download mode', which allows for files to be, er, downloaded and run on your phone -- it's a developer thing. Turn your phone off and wait for it to completely shut down. Press and hold the volume down key, the home button and the power button all at once and wait for a few seconds.
It will then load and ask you if you want to enter download mode by pressing the volume up button -- which you should do.

Step 5: Connect and run
When your phone's in download mode, connect it back to your PC and you should see the word 'Added' in the message box in the bottom left quadrant of Odin.
You should have the 'Auto Reboot' and 'Reset Time' boxes already checked. Take a deep breath and click Start.
Odin will then go through the steps to root your phone and will show a green box saying 'Pass' in the program when it's completed. Your phone should then show a black screen with scrolling text (that's the rooting process) before it reboots back into the standard operating system you know and love.
The first time I ran it, it didn't load into the root process, but instead rebooted straight into the Android OS. I simply ran step 4 again and it all worked fine.

How do i root HTC incredible s s710e

Anyikwa chinonso

18 June 2014 at 19:50 delete

1.Using, your computer, download the Windows version of Revolutionary tool from this website: revolutionary.io (scroll down a bit until you see it). Remember to keep your browser windows open; you’ll need them later.
2.Extract the zip file to a new folder using Winzip/Winrar.
3.Connect your HTC Incredible S to your computer using its USB data cable, making sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone.If that isn’t enabled yet, click Menu then tap on Settings > Applications> Development. Then make sure USB debugging is checked
4.Open the extracted Revolutionary folder, then right-click on the file ‘revolutionary.exe’ inside (see above).
5.Select ‘Run as Administrator’.
6.Take note of the provided key you see when running the program.
7.Go back to the original Revolutionary browser window, and fill in the information needed so you can get a second key. Use the HBoot number you got earlier here.
8.Type the second key into the text box labeled “Serial number”.
9.Once it says everything was successful, it will then ask if you want to flash Clockwork. Type in ‘Y’ to confirm.
10.Once completed, reboot your HTC Incredible S.
11.Check your phone once more using the procedure above to see if it’s already S-OFF. It should look like the image you see below.
12.Next, download this file.
13.Copy the downloaded file to the root of your SD card. Remember, don’t place it inside any folder since it needs to be located in the root to work.
14.Unplug the USB cable of your phone.
15.Turn it off.
16.Hold the Volume Down button and press the Power button. Hboot will start.
17.Using the Volume Down button, scroll down the choices until you highlight “RECOVERY”.
18.Press the Power button to select that option and enter ClockworkMod recovery mode.
19.Then, select “Install zip from sd card” from the options on screen.
20.Select “Choose zip from sd card” then select “su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip”
21.Afterwards, select “Yes – install su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip” to confirm
22.When finished installing go back to the main menu and click reboot
23.Pat yourself on the back (if you can reach it), you’ve finally rooted your HTC Incredible S!

One friendly note: follow all the steps in turn to ensure that you do a successful root. If you follow everything correctly, I’m sure you will be rooted in no time.
Also, remember to be careful when entering the serial numbers. They might have uppercase and lowercase letters, so make sure you get it right.

Pls How can I root my HTC hero?

Anyikwa chinonso

16 July 2014 at 21:49 delete

How to Root the HTC Hero

Firstly, download the following file as located here. Proceed to download another file from here.
Install it to the HTC device in question. To do this, connect it to the computer using a USB cable. Mount the device’s SD card by way of the HTC Alerts Menu. Proceed to install using the drive that Windows has just detected.
Extract the two downloaded zip files into separate folders.
Head to the Android’s SDK folder and proceed to open the tools folder.
Two files should have been inside the boot image zip, or 1.b. Copy this into the tools folder. They should be named “boot.img.insecure” and “boot.img”
Shutdown the phone.
Turn the phone back on while holding the back key. This will boot the fastboot screen, indicated by a white screen and three androids at the bottom.
Reconnect the phone via USB if it was disconnected.
Start, Run, cmd.exe on Windows. Change the directory to the tools directory that was created earlier.
Run fastboot.exe boot boot.img.insecure while in the tools directory.
The output should indicate it is downloading and booting.
The device should now begin with root access. In order to access this, open HTC Sync by way of the phone’s alerts menu. Ignore the pop up message in Windows. Open cmd again and type adb.exe shell. The output should be a number sign.

When the pound sign appears, run the following command: mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system , which will mount the phone’s file system in the proper RW mode. Add the su command to the phone and run the following commands in shell, which is the pound sign, and make sure to run all commands separately.

cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
reboot
This will reboot the phone, loading its stock ROM. Enjoy.
