I rooted my XOOM according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968342&page=1
I successfully installed superuser which can grant root access. It seems that dropcap2, shoot me were granted root access. But when I tried to take a screen shot, it said that your device is not rooted yet. Anyone had the same issue?
I just had the same issue not 3 minutes ago and was coming here to ask.
Perhaps its not full root access yet.

There is a workaround that should do fine for now, and you don't need to be rooted. You just need the Android SDK on your computer and a USB cable.
See here.

So I rooted my new Captivate (Rogers, I896) using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827544
Everything worked perfectly, and the Superuser Access icon appeared in the app drawer. Unfortunately, no programs can gain superuser access. ROM Manager keeps giving me an error when I try to do anything (flash recovery, fix permissions etc) and doesn't show up on the list of 'Superuser' programs. I haven't gotten any prompts to allow access, either, so I don't know what's wrong. Any ideas, XDA?
It's quite possible that your root is incomplete, that happens sometimes with some rooting methods. You should try re-rooting. That thread lists at least three rooting methods, which one did you use?

I rooted using the method from the link in my first post. You were right, though - it was incomplete. I re-rooted with z4 and it worked perfectly -- enjoying AXURA and the lack of TouchWiz =D
I've been viewing these forums for quite sometime just never posted before. I was one of the people with the LG Revolution that lost the Super One Click Root when the OOA Update hit over the summer.
I have SU still installed and its been updated even though I can not gain root access and since I do not have root access I am unable to uninstall it. I have tried the One Click Root Tool for the LG Esteem after upgrading to GB. It say's that its completed but Root Check denies the fact it is rooted.
I tried Super One Click and it states the device is in fact rooted but when I try to use any root access apps it states "Unable to write". Any ideas on why it still wont allow the root to edit the read/write access for my device?
Thank you,
Mike
hey :9 I'm having the same issue. Heres to hoping someone figures it out

I'm from the Esteem side and some people were having the same problem after the superuser unroot fiasco and people couldn't re-root with the original one click because it did not clear the old su. Check over on Android forums/Esteem/All things root section. It was fixed by adding a few command lines to the script to clear the old su and give you the new su and binaries. HTH

Ty this worked wonders! I found it rather fast. Only problem with this guys batch is the fact you have to manually reboot your device for it to work. After I rebooted my apps were asking for SU access!
Here is a link for anyone else suffering from the unable to root because of SU already locked on your device.
androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/435750-one-click-root-updated-final-w-superuser-3-0-6-binary-3-0-3-download.html
Just remember after you've run the batch file to unplug your device and reboot.
Before I get into it, I'm not sure if this is the best section for this. I posted here because it's a Samsung Captivate I am using and this is a question.
Anyway, I used a video to root my Captivate. I downloaded SuperOneClick, the USB Drivers for Captivate and .NET Framework. Everything went well and it said my phone was rooted successfully. Well, I used Root Check and Term Emulator and both said my phone was, infact, not rooted.
I also have the SuperUser app on my phone. I then proceeded to try again, where I got the error that my Captivate was already rooted. I used psneuter exploit to root. Now, I'm attempted to unroot my phone, where SuperOneClick seems to be frozen at "Waiting for device.."
After I unroot, what should I change or try?
Did you enable USB debugging from your phone? Give me more details on your rom and other stuff.
Also if your on gingerbread the one click root doesn't work on some gingy builds

Download any app from the market that requires root. Try to use it. If it works, your rooted, if not something is wrong.
I rooted my XT890 which is on 4.0.4. I don't know what it's called that I used to root it with and I don't have the same exact download link but it's the only one on the internet that doesn't require you to flash anything.
So I ran that and I thought I had my phone rooted. The major problem is that most apps that require root privileges don't work. The only root app that works is busybox. On other ones, the superuser permission prompt will pop up and will I press "allow". Then, it will say "[whatever program] has been granted superuser permissions". After that, whatever superuser requiring app I'm using will go to an error the same way it would on a completely stock un-rooted phone.
Will buying superuser elite fix it?
Will un-rooting and re-rooting by flashing a homemade fastboot fix it? If so, how do I un-root?
Can anybody help?
Did you solve your problem?

Hi, obviously we had a similar problem (
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42529975#post42529975) and I am not sure about how to tackle the problem. Did you find a solution for your rooting problem? If yes I am curious how you solved it.
Cheers

Nope I never figured it out.
It seems that most superuser apps aren't compatible with x86 Android unless the developers have specifically taken steps to solve it. Since RAZR i users make up an incredibly small amount of android users, almost no one bothers to make their root apps work.

That link above will install you cwm if you don't already have it then with that you can flash either the RAZR I Root or RAZR I Root 2 .zip... It just depends which one is for your ROM and I didn't link because I couldn't find it or have it bookmarked anymore but if you find it and flash it through cwm it will definitely work

I don't see how this would root anything. Just some mumbo-jumbo about stuff you can do on a non-rooted device without the same mumbo-jumbo.
Maybe you would look at the youtube video showing one click root button on pc programme.

I think He means this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbRRi7TOosg
EDIT: Ok, just tried it. NOT WORKS. It says that the root failed. Tried 3 times and I get the same thing.
Did you install usb drivers correctly maybe needs admin privileges on start up.
Root genius is another one on youtube

Wuzza? Is that vid for real?!
If not, talk about false advertising.
"maybe needs admin privileges on start up." - nope, it does not.
Root does not work with this soft, maybe it was for an older firmware, but TBH, it looks like a nice video montage, but nothing really happened (maybe no phone was connected either).
No bother ill just sell phone need root and couldn't be bothered waiting for one bypassing bootloader thx for checking

This is my first post, and I joined specifically to share this. It took me many hours of searching and trial and error to get my phone rooted, so I'm taking the risk of being called a shill to make this post. I hope it helps someone.
I was able to use Wondershare MobileGo to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 on Lollipop version OC1 (NOT OF1).
At first the only root option that worked for me was installing the Kingroot APK. This did give me root, but only through Kingroot, not SuperSU. Naturally I wanted to use SuperSU, so this is what I did:
1. Installed MobileGo.
2. Clicked on “One-Click root”
3. MobileGo said it has gained root access however, SuperSU still would not work.
4. I then uninstalled KingRoot and ran MobileGo root.
5. Presto, it gave me root and SuperSU now works!
6. Uninstalled MobileGo
7. Still have root
There were a couple of phone reboots mixed in there, but that's the general idea. Clearly this doesn't work for everyone, but it was the ticket for me. YMMV.
