I went to the Library but they have blocks set up. My dads computer has a damn virus. I rooted my old HTC before it went swimming. I don't have a computer to do it. So any assistance would be greatl appreciated.

welcome to the forums!!!!!!!

you can't root the phone without a computer. depending on how you want ot root the phone you will need to enter commands from the pc. there is no way around it.......sorry

do you have friends with pc's?
 
I know you need a computer because of the drivers and files you need. Like I mentioned my dads computer has a virus and I rooted my other HTC. None of my friends have computers. That's why I was hoping someone on here could do it.

There is a way to bypass the virus on your dads computer.

In the DirtyRacun rooting for dummies guide there is a section for loading a Live CD of Ubuntu for rooting the phone. If you can burn a CD of Ubuntu, you can root from there. You'll be essentially booting a new operating system therefore bypassing the virus on the Windows OS. ;)

Ubuntu is pretty cool once you get used to it, and the commands aren't that bad. :)

Lastly: Welcome to the Forums!!! :D
 
Hey guys. Is there anybody around the weatherford,tx area or dallas area?? My htc evo 4g LTE needs rooting. I dont have a computer and the library has administrative blocks on theirs. Any help would be great. And of course I would gladly put up a fee for helping me too.
