Root HTCDev or Unrevoked

[ibwbass]

I would like to root my phone mainly to remove unused apps that came on the phone. I've been reading info on here about doing so. Can someone tell me if I need to use HTCDev or Unrevoked. Do they not do the same thing? If I need Unrevoked do I do 3 and Forever?

Welcome to the AF!!! Im sure youll find what you seek here Im kinda shocked that im the first person to reply to your query. That being said, what android o/s version are you running?

Welcome.

The method you would use depends on your phone's Hboot. I suggest you read up with this guide and then see what questions you still have.

Thanks. I'll do some more reading. I'm sure I'll have some more questions before doing this.

We're always here to help.

HTC Dev is a little harder to do than unrevoked or revolutionary, but you should be fine
