Would YOU root with HTC since I'm 1.5

[metdenn]

So I been wanting to root to put on some cpu managing to help with battery, and maybe a little overclocking, but unfortunately I'm 1.5, and I just don't know how I feel that HTC would know I rooted, in case something happens with the phone. My pre was rooted and still runs today, but I don't trust my luck.

Plus I noticed that to do deep rooting you need a lot of extra work with 1.5 since it doesn't do s-off... which is kind of silly.

So, what would YOU do. I know the big selling points are wifi tethering (meh, which my battery life) and recovery... should I think about anything else?

Go for it!

Is there a guide somewhere on how to root 1.5. The ones I have found so far are for 1.3 & 1.4. I'm trying to help a friend root his 1.5.

You can just follow the guides on here, they are pretty straight foreward. They work for any of the boot series, however when you load a ROM you will need a few more steps.

afaik the htc method is the only way to root a 1.5 phone. Just did it myself recently easy as pie

I did it and I couldn't be happier with my decision. CkeanROM 2.7, bcblend kernel....

Same. Def worth doing and flashing a Rom really doesn't take too much extra.. You'll notice a the difference with a custom Rom after you root it

How do you know if you have 1.5? I am having trouble doing a temp root.

Did you take the last OTA - not the security update today? If so, then you would be on 1.5. here is the thread on xda to root with 1.5: [GUIDE] HTC Unlock Hboot 1.50 + TWRP Recovery + Root + Flash Ur Ass Off! [9.11.11] - xda-developers . Enjoy your new phone once rooted and put on a custom ROM. CleanROM is a fantastic one if you want to keep it pretty much the stock feel without the bloatware and some nice things added with great battery life.

you could also turn off fastboot in settings>power then power off the phone and restart while holding the volume down + power button. should be on the top

I was about to root my evo 3d using the htc method but I decided to wait since there is no way to revert back. I will wait to see if a 1 click or other method comes up for the 1.50 ota. If by end of year there is no different method for the htc root I will just do it that way. It won't matter anyway since in June I will be using my last yearly upgrade anyway. Hopefully an lte htc phone will be out by then.
