Ok, a silly question... I sent my phone in to be fixed, it looks like they did a factory reset, if that is the case, is my phone likely "unrooted"?
How would I be able to tell?
Get into recovery mode to check if its s-off I guess, then download an app that needs root like titanium backup
Check s status by holding the trackball while booting up the phone
S-On it says so they "unrooted" my phone on me. Damn HTC lol...
Now I guess I have to think if I want to root again or leave stock... interesting thing was SuperUser was still on my phone but nothing else was, although CW wouldn't work when I redownloaded it...
Thanks though!

The "s" status of a Nexus One has nothing to do with whether or not the device is rooted...

To check, download any app that requires root and see if it works. There is even a "root checker" app..

Yeah, but for someone who is asking how to check for root, I think you would have to spell it out for him: download a terminal emulator app and then type su. If you see a # sign, you have root.
Is the superuser app a sure fire sign?
Not necessarily.

No it doesn't guaranty it but most of the time it means it is. The best way to tell is to download terminal then type in it "su" then if the "$" prompt turns into a "#" prompt (after getting prompted by superuser) you have root access.
If you do not know how to check if you got root then you do not need to be rooted in the first place.

Thats fine. Once you begin rooting it should start the adb service and find your device. Just follow the instructions.

I would recommend superoneclick by CLShortfuse for the actual rooting. Works great, and you can enable non market apps with the same program. One note, in the top right of the box that opens, you will have to choose either "psneuter" or "rage...cage". I think most people choose the rage option, but psneuter is chosen by default.

1) restart computer
2) uninstall drivers you have now for the phone. Download the new version (1.8)
3) Try again, and good luck.
Final thought, did you enable usb debugging?

Root OF /sdcard, it means the main directory ... Not in any folders.
So I put it on the internal sd(no a folder) then boot in to recovery and just re-install packages. Done

Hello Forum first of all thank you for your support. I have an issue with (enable non market) from super one click. my device is a stock 2.2 rooted captivate, thanks again, to S.O.C. but I was unable to unlock market. I get a fail and no S.U. permission pop up on my device. Am I missing a file on my PC or my phone?
Did you root it? if you did root it, did you restart? is there an error message? if so what does it say?
When an app like Super One Click is looking for SU access, you have to watch the screen on the phone. You are supposed to get a dialog box saying that Superuser is requesting access. When you choose Yes, you should be in business.

Settings> applications>manage applications> all> superuser> clear data
And

After those steps try again, make sure your screen is on and you should get a SU prompt this time.

If you run this and it doesn't root you try wiping data from Setting>privacy and wipe the internal storage as well. I did that and it worked for me. Granted I didn't try this method without wiping my internal. If nothing else it cleans it up for you.

Ok, so whatever changes you made ... it seems to work better in a virtual windows environment
Before it would get stuck at "daemon started succesfully"
now it goes through to "Installing Root Tools..."
but then I get a string of error messeages
either "device offline" or "device not found"
then "cleaning up" ... device not found
then "rebooting" ...device not found
then it freezes
when I unplug my device or toggle debugging mode it continues to say "root complete"
.... so close.
So If I'm rooted on Z4? then I still need to unroot and upgrade to Z6 for this to work?
Thanks a lot man for such this easy one-click-root tool.

i updated to v7... ran this..it keeps telling me root is successful it cleans up n then reboots.. i see superuser i try and update it n it fails when trying to gain root access.. also opened titanium backup and cannot gain root... any suggestions?
Try this at your own risk
Your phone must be rooted before installing (use super one click)
Download recovery.img and put it on your internal storage card NOT the removable one.
Download a terminal program from the android market
Open terminal on phone and type
suThen hit enter (a superuser prompt will pop up, hit allow)
Then back up by typing this into the terminal apk on your phone
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096Then hit enter
Then put it on phone by typing this into the terminal apk on your phone
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096Then hit enter
If you accidentally put it on your external sdcard than type this into terminal apk
dd if=/sdcard/_ExternalSD/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096Then hit enter
Thats it, post if this helps.

Yeah, if you happen to run the app again, it will add the .prop file back which is what makes it really slow.

What i don't understand is that i've never launched the app again, i uninstal it when i saw that the root was on.
Thank you all for your precious advices. I finally decided to reset to factory settings, and all is fine again now ! :cyclops:
I want to root it again, but i'm a bit afraid now.
No way, i must root my phone :laugh:
Also, there is one thing i don't understand, this part actually :
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "root" and press enter.
Wait while the script runs, and the phone will reboot automatically.
You should then see the command prompt "C:\o4xr>".
What the hell is a command prompt ? (sorry i'm not english)
I think that it's because of this part i missed that my phone was running so slowly.
