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:

I currently have the original droid and attempted to root it using super one click and it would lock up or stop running at the prompt: get mount path...... any ideas I currently am running version 2.2
You can't use super one click on the over the air build. I would suggest using zRoot, you can get it right off the market. I had the same problem.
Original Moto Droid
I recently got a replacement phone via my insurance... however this one does not have the froyo update. I would like to root my phone... so that I can use the wifi tether... and it seems there are quite a few other things you can do to improve the performance of the phone. I am unexperienced and would like a step-by-step. Oh yeah... to make matters just a little more difficult... (sorry) I do not have usb cable. Is it possible to do these things without that?
Please help!
Do you want Froyo 2.2? Thats an easy over the air update. Cause then you can get Adobe flash and all of that. If not Im sorry I can't help. But if you want 2.2 then you can get Zroot from the android market. It's an easy one click root. After that get rom manager and make a nadroid recovery backup and flash a clockwork. If you need more help with either of them I can find you a link in this forum I bet.
hi all im new here i got a samsung galaxy s bought here in ireland. was thinking of rooting the phone is there any safest way on rooting the phone.? since its still on warranty. and does rooting the phone break your warranty?

do i need to unmount the sd cards? before using z4root
Super one click. Install from your pc. Rooting does void warranty but you may be able to flash back to stock or un-root if you ever need to send it back. Unless you brick it but that way they prabably wouldn't know either.

ive never rooted my phone before and this gps aids program does not seem to work without it rooted. so i tried that z4root program.. i am trying a temp root just to be careful and for some reason everything is running super slow, hanging, phone is making short vibrates, etc.
is the galaxy s not compatible with the temp root method? im scared that something similar will happen if i do the full root and screw up my phone.
edit: now its completely frozen with a black screen. im very scared to try a full root with this program.
I use CF-Root from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
So far it's great. Phone works very well, no force closes, no reboots, nothing. Every time a program needs super user privileges, a pop-up screen appears.
For the GPS, I used fasterfix.

Worked for me. Also for 2.2.1 JPX/JPY (used v1.5.5 in this case, now there is v1.7).
No you don't need to unmount the cards, it should work fine

I am new to android
Since the official 2.2 upgrade is released, I updated through Samsung kies mini without unrooting my stock rom 2.1
then I found the superuser icon vanished
I google it and tried Super One Click

...it said rooted but when i download rom manager...the first thing i did is to backup current rom...when i clicked ok for backup...it did nothing...then i tried to download some apps required root to see if it works...every apps required root (super manager, rom manager(appeared not responding for every options), root exploer, etc.) forced close...
i tried one click root for for all models as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
but i cant even launch the app by using window 7 32 bit...
i tried the alternative way suggest by other ppl by only double click the root 2.2.bat..it pushed an update.zip file to my phone but when i tried to reinstalll package..it failed and say E signature verification failure!?...
I even tried it on mac..but failed as well (i connected my phone and the software said it pushed the update.zip and boot into recovery mode but in fact nothing happening on my phone)
I did a factory reset and wondering how to root AT&T Captivate official 2.2
I'm having the same problem. I don't think any of those one click apps will work with 2.2 official, since they're all for 2.1. I tried all of them, and none of them worked. I'm getting the Atrix soon anyway, so I'm not gonna bother trying to root my Captivate anymore
Have you tried using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
i tested the KB1 froyo update and rooting via superoneclick just to see how it works. I had to reboot after rooting it though. Superuser was there but it didnt appear rooted. After rebooting, everything worked fine.
I'm back with Phoenix 5.2, which I recommend over the stock froyo update anyway.
Rooting 2.2
I had the same problem. What I found from searching around is that the recovery console in 2.2 is 3e. 3e fixed the loophole most of the rooting software goes after, so , no 2.2 won't root, at least not the same way 2.1 would.
I also upgraded to the leaked Froyo, but later on downgraded to 2.1 so that I could use the normal upgrade methods.
Enjoy !
Is it mean that AIO Captivate Toolbox is not working too?
If it is..then I wont try
been worried to make another factory reset
these threads are so common now.
use SuperOneClick. it works, but you cant use the PSNeuter method, you have to use the RAGE method.....look to the right of the buttons when you load it up, you will see what i am talking about
Okay, i currently have a N1 on CyanogenMod 7 just lying around, it was rooted with Universal Androot when it came out. I dont use it anymore because i have a G2X but i want to use it for testing purposes. The phone has nothing valuable and everything has been backed up and i got this idea.
Im currently working on Android Scripts to run and im mainly after the Default Stock. I need a link to a guide and the default stock to restore
Wow noob... ever heard of search?
I was about to add more info before you asked this -.-
You see, Universal Androot roots your phone by exploiting the system. Thing is, it roots your phone in one click and unlike z4root, i dont have to restart or anything! Its all right there and takes 5 seconds! Now the developer stopped updating it because Google fixed the patched used to exploit the system.
Im looking for the Stock Froyo THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS VULNERABLE FIXED! Meaning, it MUST root and unroot with Universal Androot, anything else such as z4root and SuperOneClick WILL NOT WORK WITH ME so thats why im asking:
Im looking for:
A guide on how to restore Stock ROM (Forgot how to lol)
The Stock Froyo ROM that Universal Androot can work
A Link to the latest Universal Androot
Now, i can probably find the link to the Universal Androot and maybe how to restore but im mainly asking for a Stock ROM that Universal Androot supports and must be Froyo
Thanks!
Download the stock FRF91 (find the link in Wiki) and flash in recovery.
Another option, since it seems like your phone is probably well past its warranty, is to unlock the bootloader. Then you can root whatever version of Android you would like because you will be able to load a custom recovery. The custom recovery would allow you to flash a zip that can give you root access, or you can use adb and manually add the files needed into your system partition.
Hello all,
I have searched high and low on this and many other forums to just find a simple method that actually works to root my Motorola Milestone A853.
Its running the stock rom fully updated to the last update which is Froyo 2.2.1.
All I need to do is root not install custom roms or anything else. I just want the phone rooted so I can overclock it and remove the bloatware too.
Thanks for all your help in advance and I really hope somebody has a simple step by step method. I did not want to try downgrading it 2.1 and then running vulnerable or other such methods. I just want to root it and tinker a little bit.
You want Universal Androot.
Google it.
