I'm an NVIDIA Tegra Champ. Here's what that means. It means that from time to time I might receive products and/or services from NVIDIA to evaluate them and provide feedback to NVIDIA and you, our valuable members. What this does NOT mean is that my opinion will be biased. Any opinion that I express here and elsewhere are solely based on my personal preference and any relevant expertise that I may/may not have on the subject matter. - 01-05-2011, 12:37 AMThread Author #4

Ok I cheated lol. I had my buddy root my phone. The program is called VISIONary. I'm really interested in themes. How do those work with a rooted phone?

Gr8gorilla has a couple of themes posted here. Did it give you permaroot with S-OFF and the ENG bootloader?

Actually the rooting screwed my phone up so last night I had to reset it. I hit unroot and restarted it and gmail wouldn't load along with my clock widget. I don't need a rooted phone the more I think of it. I'm very pleased. Maybe someday i'll feel more comfortable and do it myself. Thanks for all the input.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Sometimes threads on XDA aren't as clear as they should be. Also you do have the OTA installed, right? I tried to root before I had the OTA and it wouldn't work because it only works if you have the OTA already installed.

Are you referring to the firmware update? Yes I have that and after I reset the phone it was still there. Version 1.17 I think? The phone last night was acting up not loading like everything after I hit unroot. I wanted to see if it was that easy to unroot it incase I had to use the warranty. Gonna have a little chat with my buddy lol. Originally Posted by iamlilysdad

I also used titanium backup and I had to manually backup every single app on the phone. You would think there would be a backup button that backs up everything. I don't know but I'm good for now. Will miss taking screenshots.

Unfortunately you will probably always have to use ADB to root this phone permanently because of the way it's locked down from HTC.
