I just bought an AT&T Galaxy tab that was supposedly rooted ti 2.2. How do I verify this?
Download a terminal emulator and type su.
If you get a request to grant access to super user, it's rooted. If not... Than it's not.
Our download the super user app and try to run it...

If the rooting worked, you should also have the super user program installed.

Superuser app is an andrpid skull and crossed bones. If you have it, tap it to open it.
you can also use "Zroot"
If the button shows "Unroot" your Tab is already rooted, but if it shows "Root", you need to root it.
Of course for rooting Gingerbread you can't use "Zroot". I used "SuperOneClick"

Hey guys, so after the release of UniversalAndRoot, I decided that maybe I should unroot my XT720 and use UniversalAndRoot to re-root it.
I rooted with the exploid method.
I plan on doing the steps backwards to see if that unroots my phone.
What's the best way to check whether my phone has been unrooted or not?
Is it enough to claim that I unrooted my phone if adb shell -> su fails to grant me root?
Thanks.
Someone's bound to know the answer?
You could try to install ShootMe or any other Market App that requires root permissions and then try if they work.
pretty much what the guy above me said just install an app that requires super user permissions then run it and it should say your not rooted or this app requires root.
Thanks guys, I followed your advices and managed to unroot my current root and rooted with a different method.
This thread is now obsolete.
Install terminal and type su
You will get permission denied iiif not rooted.

So I rooted my Froyo Captivate today, I've never rooted a smartphone before, and I'm loving it. I got rid of all the AT&T garbage and to my surprise my phone actually seems somewhat snappier. I'm looking forward to using tethering and side-loading apps, but I have a newbie question about root access on the phone. Normally under Windows and Linux a user would not want to stay rooted all the time. Is that different on Android? Is it ok to just stay rooted all day long? So far what I've done is use Super One Click to root, installed Titanium Backup, removed the crap from AT&T, then unrooted the phone. Everything seems to be working beautifully except that Ti needs root.
How does everyone else handle this? Just root when you need to use Ti or some other app? I also deactivated the Market filter AT&T put on, so does that stick when not in root?
Thanks for the feedback.
You can stay rooted. Anything that needs root permissions will ask for it when it needs it.
The differance being that you don't have to open up a terminal and type su blah blah. You just hit ok when asked. OR NOT

leave root access there. it doesnt mean you are running everything as root
Hi, i need to unlock bootloader of my galaxy tab so i need to root first and so i selected exploit (psneuter) and rooted with superoneclick and then when i copy patch to tab and run it it says "This application requires superuser(root) to function"
Can anyone help me?
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.

I root my galaxy tab with Z4root and it works perfectly
I searched a little for this but couldn't quite find an answer. I have a Galaxy Tab SCH-1800 on Verizon Wireless. I was trying to us z4 1.3 to root it. I hit permanent root and it runs for awhile and then it exits Z4 Root. It never goes back to the program either. I have to go to the z4 icon and open it from there. When I tap the icon, I get a blank screen and then a force close. How do you recommend I root my Galaxy? I was hoping to use z4. That's what I used to root my Droid X. Thanks for your time.

DO you know if it's actually rooted? Try downloading a root-required app. Maybe it is already rooted.
Use the superoneclick app. You can download it here in the forum somewhere.
To know if it's rooted. Download the root check app from the market, and then run it.

I don't know if XDA has any policy about linking to other forums, but I used this guide to root my Verizon Tab. I have had no problems whatsoever since I did this. It shows you how to restore to a rooted stock firmware, and update to an modified kernel for the latest version of the stock rom.

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.
