Get SuperOneClick v1.8beta under @ Android Apps and Games. It can root and/or market fix. Read my post towards the end for instructions on how to make it work.

O used the SOV on the SGT without any issues. All good thanks!

Maybe you refuse access to root and you remember your choice.
Try to go in superUser application and give TB root access.

I just rooted my Tab using z4root 1.3.0
Phone rebooted as superuser.
Installed Clockworkmod and installed AT&T recovery rom.
Worked perfectly for my unlocked AU tab i picked up this morning.
Allowed me to do a rom backup...and still reports rooted.

Root advice please...

Hi
I have the international galaxy s, i9000, which had the JPO stock firmware, it was also rooted using Z4root. All was fine until yesterday when I uninstalled an app, after re-booting the phone was semi-bricked. No problem I thought, re-flash... so I flashed to the latest JPU (2.2.1), no problem all ok, except the kernel is marked as rooted and now I can't un-root or re-root..? stuck..!
Any advice would be appreciated..? For instance, do I have to re-flash back to JPO and then install z4root then root / unroot or..????
Thanks
any ideas...???
I just fixed mine! I'll send you what I did as I was struggling with the same thing all evening!

Okay, first I used superoneclick to root it, then I used the recovery file and keys in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
and copied them to the correct directories using root explorer. I hope that helps!

When you just reflashed your phone to a new firmware, the kernel will always have the word 'root' inside. Not to worry because that's the original firmware kernel. You just root normally with z4root from then on

Also another thing: 2.2.1 does not support z4root to root your phone. You can use ryanza's OneClickLagFix to root 2.2.1.
Rooting 2.2 with z4root works just fine.

just run z4root, said running exploit etc.... then acquiring root shell.... then it exits on its own but the cpu is going 100% and nothing happens, no superuser nothing..?
If I go back into z4root there is just a crashed 'white screen' and all the while the cpu is still going crazy... If I go into the task manager it shows z4root as Phase1
Only after re-boot does the cpu return to normal..? but no superuser and no root..!
Is it definitely compatible with 2.2.1..?
any ideas..??
thanks
ah just seen your post... ok will try that, thanks
What about SuperOneClick..? would that work with 2.2.1..?

How can I tell if I'm rooted?

Hey,
I'm just wondering if there is a way to test if my phone is rooted or not? When I had Eclair on there, I did a lag fix, and rooted it. Later down the track I flashed a Froyo ROM onto my phone, didn't like that, so flashed back to stock Eclair. Tried another Froyo ROM, didn't like that either, so went back to stock Eclair again. I have recently flashed the stock Froyo rom that is on samfirmware.com, and I want to root it.
Under Kernel Version in About Phone, it says:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #7
Does this mean my phone is already rooted? I don't have the superuser app, nor do I have the root explorer app, so I am very confused as to the state of my phone at the moment..
Can someone please help?
P.S. The reason I want to root is I want it done before I apply [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 339MB RAM XXJPX-Compatible, and I thought it would be best to have the phone rooted first...
Thanks

U could try terminal and just tipp su or try root explorer

where can I get the free root explorer? The one in the market is like 3 bucks...
Good question i found it extremely helpfull so 3 bucks was ok for me.try terminal or perhaps u can find it out with androzip but i dunno how
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can try the app found in the market called z4root. It is able to check your phone whether it has root, and if your phone has not been rooted, you can apply root from that app too.

Thanks mate. I searched the market but couldn't find it? there is no results for z4root?
Z4root isn't in the market anymore i think search it on this forum
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If your phone is rooted you should have a app called SuperUser
Just found z4root in the forums, and put it on the phone.
I just opened it and pressed Permanent Root..
I know about having the superuser app, but my kernel version said root in it, so I was confused..
My phone has just restarted, and i now have the Superuser app, so I'm guessing that it's worked. Again, I don't know how to test it, but I think I can now safely a.... well as I was writting this, something popped up asking for super user rights, so I'm very confident that my phone is now rooted.
Thanks for the help all!

[Q] Get rid of superuser permissions

Hello, i have a Nexus One, Android 2.2.1, build FRG83D.
I bought a 2nd hand one, it has installed te Superuser permission but seems not rooted, i mean i tried several tools like titanium backup, that need root acces and they didn't get it.
I tried get root acces with universal androot, it says that its already rooted, i try to root it again, it fails.
Im wondering what can I do, I was thinking in flashing to a original rom, not cooked, but im not sure if i need root acces to do that.
How can I delete Superuser permissions and root the phone properly?
I'm new in android and I'm getting a little lost here.
Thanks in advance.
Now I'm just a noob myself with this stuff too. It sounds like u got it 2nd hand if so I would find an ruu or what ever is required to get ur phone back to original out of the box state. Then try again. But make sure to get one that is rootable because I have seen ones that aren't.

Since you're on FRG83D, you can root with this method:

You probably are rooted. However, some root apps (like Titanium Backup) require busybox to be installed as well as being rooted (otherwise those apps will give you an error saying you are not rooted, even though you are). Just install busybox from the market, and you should be fine.

You don't need to flash a cooked ROM if you don't want. Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396

I suspect it was rooted, but got an OTA update at some point, losing root, but keeping the Superuser apk and possibly even su and busybox, but without the necessary privileges...

Then you are not rooted. You just have the Superuser application installed on your phone (does not give root access). Re-root like danger-rat indicated.
EDIT: danger-rat beat me to it!
Just Rooted my phone, following the method danger-rat posted here.
Thanks a looot!

If you have cf root you should have already the busybox. titanium backup should show you that you have it installed.
If you really need it though , you can try it here http://goo.gl/8ufLr (go on the market on your phone an download the installer from stericsson)
thanks, i wasnt sure if my cf root had it and i dont have titanium back up on phone yet, but thanks i just wasnt sure the market busy box app was good enough

Well be careful with the market one. It should be compatible with cf root latest version. But before there was problems. Do a backup before installing the one from market

[Q] Am I rooted or not rooted ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out whether my Samsung Note N7000 is rooted or not.
I thought I have rooted it as there is a superuser app on the phone. But when I run a root checker app it tells me my phone is not rooted, I tried running rooted apps but not able to so I guess the phone is not rooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 but the program tells me my phone has ALREADY BEEN ROOTED and whether I want to proceed or not. I select to proceed but Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Both the USB debugging and unknown sources boxes are ticked, SD card unmounted.
Can anyone help ?
I'm also not sure if your phone rooted or not..

Reboot into your boot loader, it should tell you there whether it's unlocked or not.

Thanks for the suggestion, although my phone is not locked. I live in HK and bought it without contract...
search for SuperSU 1.10 chainfire
download the files and flash it using stock recovery.
or download phil safe kernel which include superuser
