Posted March 10, 2014 thank you, can't believe I forgot that Also, for Ubuntu users this method works best. this will get both adb and fastboot running in no time. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:phablet-team/toolsOn Ubuntu 12.04, you will also need to run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppaThen do the following: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) As someone trying to takle rooting my new phone(but can't b/c of 4.4 on my Verizon HTC One), relate/make analogies of terminology and procedures to computers. Example: ROMs are like OS distros and unlocking the bootloader is like having access to the BIOS to change boot path(Least I'm pretty sure these are good analogies). Also, a section on "What you can do now that you've rooted your device" or "What you should do afer rooting your device." Going through the capabilities and things to do to get full use out of you device, what apps to get, and other optimizations you can do that your phone is more "free". At the top make sure to have a "Date last updated xx/xx/xx" and a list of known phone that have rooting procedures with either links to external website with the how to or to posts/comments here on how; kind of like |jokers|'s HUGE IEM review of Head-Fi. His post would be great to look at for ideas. Of course the type of post is different, review verse guide, but he's managed his now huge post very well. EDIT: Also, thanks for doing this. Trying to go around on XDA isn't the easiest and cross referencing tutorials was like researching for a paper. Having a simplistic one stop shop of info would be very helpful.

Trying to go around on XDA isn't the easiest and cross referencing tutorials was like researching for a paper. Having a simplistic one stop shop of info would be very helpful. thank you for the ideas, but one of them I know I can't do is the root procedures, that's extremely lengthy to write down every known one, considering there are multiple ways to hack the device to gain root access. For the HTC One alone there are 4 methods. I couldn't continue to update it every year with a new slew of phones with a new way of hacking it every month. I just couldn't. But I will do everything else. And you welcome, I see we have a lot of noobs here who want to root their phones and I wanted to make a guide so they understand what they are doing.

Ideally, something like this should be done in a wiki format where others can update as things change. And even if you can't list the procedures, pretty please link to a few. When trying to root my phone, having a point in the right direction really helped. Also what 4 methods are there for the HTC One? RumRunner, Firewater, ...? EDIT: After reading through your comment again, it seems like you're writing less of a guide on how to root and more of an introduction to rooting.

Posted March 11, 2014 After going through the list, it seems my Verizon HTC One with 4.4 isn't able to get rooted due to an hboot update to 1.56. So me and all other Verizion HTC One user's with KitKat are SOL for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
