Root [XDA][Root] ACS HTC Super Tool v3 by frigid

[sandralw]

I am so confused as to why people are asking for root methods/wondering why root methods arent working/reporting methods arent working/etc in forums for a differnent phone subforum. It's no wonder there are so many Bricks. Thanks OP for this method to root the > EVO Design 4G < not the 3d, not the t-mobile sensation, not the ....you get the point

Actually, it is for the EVO Design - not the EVO 4g.

will this work for boost

Hmm I was thinking the same thing myself. I am not brave enough to test it. Looking at the dates of these post I would say no they look like there for the Sprint version which ran on gingerbread, our phones run with ICS. Maybe the moderator of this section can either create a section for Boost Mobile users so we dont get confused.

I doubt it considering darnell said it won't work on updates past 01/19/2012 which the boost evo design didn't even come out until last week lol so i assume is well past that update especially when from what i read the sprint design doesn't come stock with sense 3.6 and ics 4.0.3 yet like the boost one does so not even the same.

Have an Evo Design, tried rooting it withe Super Tool v3 and after reading this whole thread now know why it didnt work...... AFTER I went thru the trouble of unlocking it..... Now my question is what do I have to do to root this phone..... Help Anybody.... Thanks in advance....

The root via USB exploits don't currently work on the Hero S/Design 4G as off the latest updates. It also won't work with the Boost version of the phone since it comes with the post January update out of the box.

Currently the best way to root is through CWM. I posted a reply to a similar question here that should help you:

Super Tool v3 link is showing that the file isn't found. Is there a new link?

 

[2fast4u88]

It no longer works to root the design, after the first update you need to unlock.

 

[benwalburn]

I was going to mention that the link didn't work. However, I wanted it to remove all the sense stuff. Does anyone know what is safe to remove? I've cleaned out almost everything.
And I heard there was a mod for a stock status bar. Anyone know about that?

The one that has given me problems is the com.HTC framework res file . I have learned to live with it. The phone app will be a problem too as it is tied into a lot of the framework file. Everything else is okay to get rid of after the Rom is installed.

HTC Super tool is not found in the link. Please provide me the link.

 

[Darnell0216]

HTC Super tool is not found in the link. Please provide me the link.

It's not found because it's not used anymore. If you read the first post, it's about 7 months outdated. No phones are shipped with the original ROM anymore and few are holding on to it. The bootloader must be unlocked to obtain root these days.

Links that dont work..... An evo still unrooted I would like to get it done if there us an easyer way. Sorry a little rant...

All thanks goes to frigid of XDA. Support him if you can as he is pretty much the only dev working on rooting the Design on any forum.

frigid created a script that uses jcase's tacoroot frigid himself didnt root anyone he just compiled the work of everyone else into a script. which is why when things stopped working he stopped supporting this tool.

I have the ED4G and I am running software version 1.14.653.0 710RD. Can I use this root method with this version software?
