I know for a fact that 1-click root does not work for G1, I was just wondering if the fix was also done for the mt3g. My educated guess, would be yes, but I just want to hear confirmation. If I can't use the 1-click method, does anyone have an alternative besides the really long method. Basically, I'm trying to root my co-workers mt3g, from work. I don't have access to adb, fastboot, etc. I root a lot of my co-workers G1's, never did mt3g.
P.S. I have posted this question under sapphire > general, but no one is responding. It's all about that dream (g1). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
...anyone?

As I stated before, I came over from a rooted MT3G. I updated to FRF85B before I unlocked the bootloader, only to discover that there is no way to achieve root because there is no superboot for it. I am not a developer, but just a big fan of custom roms. I dont even know where to begin on making a superboot of my own. So I plead for on of our more well versed members to create one for us.
I know a ton of people have been complaining about this issue, and I hate to bother, but I cannot wait to flash ROMs. Is there anyone that has any suggestions?
You should have searched, the solution for unlocked bootloaders was given just a day or two ago, and the rooter exists for a while. Is it that hard to find the "search" button?

Hello can someone clarify my issues. So I have default stock captivate and want to do some stuff. I need to root,enable side-load, unlcok and update to leaked froyo 2.2. What order do I do this in? I'm pretty sure root first, but if i root and enable sideload, will it carry over after I flash 2.2 with odin??? thank you everyone in advance.
I'm a noob too but I was HIGHLY satisfied with OCLF, an app you can get on the market. AT&T will hide it from you though so turn on airplane mode and use wifi and you can find it on the market. That won't unlock or give you Froyo but it'll help with everything else and also make you phone crazy, crazy fast. Go for the donate version - it's good karma if you can spare the guy a few bucks.
Also maybe check out the thread I just wrote, we are in the same boat Froyo-wise.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pretty much anything you flash will overwrite whatever you have done to it anyway.
If you go to leaked froyo it is in Odin One-Click form and can be found in the development threads. You will also have to reenable side-loading, root, etc manually. It's all easy enough. Forum search is your friend!
Cognition, CDE or Deviant can be done using ClockworkMod or Odin. (not so one-click) If using ClockworkMod you'll need root. Odin is a bit more complicated but worth learning and doesn't require you be rooted as it does it's magic with your phone in download mode. These will all be rooted and side-load enable out of the box.
Your SDcard should remain intact if you don't master clear or format your SDcard. Two camps on this, one says YES! then other says "yawn." Your milage may vary.
Unlocking is trickier. Some say it lives through it, some have been "disappointed." (REALLY disappointed.) I'd search diligently if you require it.
I'd caution you to make sure you can do 3 button combos to get into recovery and download before you begin. And find your android_id and write it down. You'll be wanting that down the road.
Good luck!
I'm new to rooting my phone. I'm pretty technical, but admittedly just following directions via the sticky threads. I want to wireless tether with Barnacle (catalyst is I have a Viewsonic gTablet on the way.) Anyhow...
I have tried SuperOneClick and z4root. They both generate a variety of errors. I guess my question is, are there known issues with 2.2.2? Support shows Droid1 support for 2.2.1. Maybe it just plain don't work.
I've read about NAND locks. Maybe VZW is doing something to prevent a proper root? If they are, I'm surprised the community hasn't overcome that!
Thanks in advance.
I used the SuperOneClick method... what errors does it say for you?
so i had root on my moto droid back befor the 2.2 through z4 root
but afterword... z4 just sorta stopped working, and iv lived without root now for a while but i dont want to anymore, i wanna overclock sooo bad again.
so my question is, has anyone released another z4 ish 1 touch root solution that will work in this post 2.2 world??
A lot of people around here use "Easy Root". Unfortunately it's not free, but you can get it as low as a $.99 to get full access.
By far it's the cleanest Root/Unroot that I used for any of my Android phones. Works on both Droid and Milestone and does work on Froyo. If you end up going that route, you'll probably be best doing a factory restore before starting to help clean up whatever Z4Root left over.
If you still want to go the Z4 Route, I got nothing but still wish you the best...
have you looked over here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912490
they also mention Universal Androot
I used SuperOneClick found here at XDA, and my root was painless. It took about 2 minutes.
thanks for the help so far... but
neither z4 or androot worked for my droid...
idk if there is a difference between milestone and droid, but neither of them workedd both said failed.
any other ideas??
There is always the possibility to root manualy. I have a milestone (not droid) - Don't know if this also applies to you.
You have to flash your a vulnerable recovery via RSD Lite and root via OpenRecovery (Androidian). More info here:
http://android.doshaska.net/rootable (for milestone)
Is there a one-click rooting solution for the Droid? What's the best way?
edit: is this the best?

How to Root
I am sure you know what I previously posted since you have so many posts so as far as 1 click im not sure I do it the old school way.
I did the oldschool adb way too. I had no idea there was a one-click method, but I'm also wary of general roots like that, mostly unfounded.
