Default Failed Root Every Time Help!

Howdy!

I just had my phone refurbished and I wanted to root my phone. I can't root though. I've used Unrevoked and even Super One Click and they don't permanent root my desire. What in the world is going on? I can't even access the play store or YouTube anymore. Is there a way of rooting my phone so I can s-off and install a new rom?

revolutionary does not root your phone, it gives you S-OFF, therefore the ability to flash custom recoveries, radios, bootloaders etc.

S-OFF and Root are not the same. Root means that you have root (admin) access in the Android system, while with S-OFF you are able to do as mentioned above.

So OP, if you want root, you need to S-OFF with revolutionary, flash a custom recovery, and then (OPTIONAL!) flash superuzer.zip from recovery to gain root access to your stock ROM. If you flash custom firmware it already comes with root access.
