[ROOT] Rooting JetStream for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY {WORKING}

DooMLoRD · Dec 28, 2011

so here is a working root method for users who have unlocked bootloaders (via HTCDev.com)...

since i dont have this device with me a few users have tested it and it works: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1314841&page=14

proof:

thank you nmyseteroious for the snapshot

[ part 1: hotbooting the insecure kernel ]

download the insecure kernel (v02)
reboot into fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
check if device is detected (fastboot devices)
if its detected then hotboot this kernel u downloaded (fastboot boot filename.img)
the device will start booting
now go to part 2

[ part 2: executing the rooting toolkit ]

download the v02 toolkit for JetStream files and extract contents in root directory of ur pc (e.g: c:\ OR d:\)
activate USB debugging
connect device (with my insecure kernel on it) to pc
execute RUNME.bat

thats it

ur device should now be permanently rooted after reboot...

now i am wondering what part of the Bounty will i get

[ donations ]

if u feel that this work has helped u OR u think that the work i put into making this is worthy of donations, then click on the following link for buying me some coffee/beer/etc

Is this a permanent root or is root lost when performing a master reset or rom update and will need to be reapplied?

ba-bye at&t crap!

BIGMOH · Dec 29, 2011

Awesome!

I guess now we wait for new ROMs and recovery hoping for 4EXT recovery (touch)

i thougt it worked for me, but it didnt.
i get all kinda "fail msgs" in the process.
i have Superuser at the end, but titanium doesn't work, for instance.
any ideas?

Titanium works perfectly fine for me.

Doomlord, can you help me?
it won't do the trick for me. i get superuser app, but not the busybox one.
what could have been the problam?

there is no need of busybox app... the toolkit will install busybox for u

guru_shastri · Dec 29, 2011

thanks, as i said - just repeated the process and it workd.

first, this stinks. I'm in Texas away from my pc. Can't root just yet because of that. But that gives you time to make a recovery...

Second, this needs to make the front page of xda, XDA tv, etc.

fourthly, as a semi-newbie that just follows directions on most forum threads to get his androids to be amazing, I would like to request someone begin a thread of some top tips on how to make the jetstream awesome now that root access is had and there aren't many rooms or mods developed. example: deleting bloatware, enhancing SD card read times, etc (anything i might not know of)

Thirdly, pay day is tomorrow I think. I wil be giving my 100$ prize as promised to doomlord, correct?

I am excited!

DooMLoRD · Dec 29, 2011

anyone online? i want to test custom recovery (yes its ready

)

send me teamviewer details via p.m.
