You will have to flash your stock rom. It's available here on xda. I recommend using a windows 7 pc and a program called odin3 1.7. Don't worry too much, there's lots of insructions. Read everything twice.

Install sucsessful

I get this install complete message from my update. Zip file but when my phone boots up I don't get the super user message and I install the screenshot app. For root phones only and it tells me not rooted. Any ideas why I'm not rooted yet?

make sure you have usb debugging enabled.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions correctly. It finds the zip and starts installing then reboots and nothing changed. I'm currently at work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? So when I get home I can jump right into rooting my phone

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.

Im lost

I have a sprint galaxy tab and am so lost on rooting it. I've rooted several evo 4g's,(cm7) and a nook color(cm7). But this sgt really has my tit in a ringer. I've downloaded and ran the superoneclick but it wont grab. I'm a chef...... Not that advanced with tecnology but enough to root, flash every rom, kernel, theme, etc with my evo and nook color. I'm not a dope with android but this one has me spinning. Need to flash any rom, kernel, theme etc with my evo or nook color.... You got it but my sprint galaxy tab is has me looking at my pc like a dope! Once I get rooted and cwm there is no stopping me (I'm a flashaholic) but dam this sprint galaxy tab has me tredding water. Any pointers for a dopey chef would help.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I used Superoneclick with no problem. Did you follow the directions step by step? Maybe you need to install some sort of driver.
Good luck!

My phone died!!!

After rooting my phone and after using it fire about a week something weird happened to my phone, on Sunday the phone restart it itself and when it booted up the phone was stock on the Samsung screen after the metro pcs boot animation. I took out the battery several times but to no avail. It was dead. I finally took it to metro yesterday and they have me a brand new one. I'm more sure if i will root it again though.

rooting the phone does not causes the phone to die

I don't know what could have happened to the phone. Its weird because it just got stuck.

Setting phones on fire usually kills them.
Did you try CPR on it? Check if it still has a heart beat.
This is murder!

I have a Galaxy Tab 7 from Verizon I was wanting to get it rooted and debloated. I assume there is a download for it somewhere but I have been unable to find I am currently 2.3.5. Thanks for any information.
You haven't been able to find Superoneclick in the dev section to root phone

Yes, I did see that for my Droid charge I had found a stock software that was Deodexed, debloated and rooted. I think it was a file extension .md5 I was hoping to find something similar.

Need a lil help restoring my SM-G900A back to stock

I could use a lil help... I've tried everything I can think of and still have made zero progress restoring my galaxy s5 to stock. It has not been rooted and I've spent days staring at my laptop searching for firmware that is as far as I know a myth and md5 files that give me false hope. I've either missed or done something wrong. I've ran the stock partition, modem and kernal files with Odin but still bricked.. it's a sm-g900a-oc4 and has had the ota to 5.0. Lollipop. I know I can't downgrade and root, that's not what this is about. I just wanna get it to breathe again like normal.
