Help With Root - Motorola Droid 3

Ok so I have rooted my Droid 3 using ADB thanks to that great post.
My problem is now what do I do? Can I add clockwork mod and how would I do that? Can I download any tether app from the market now and use it? Like I am kind of lost, ok so I have root cmd prompt in ADB great... Now what?
I would really like tether because I use it at work and clockwork mod or something like it because was awesome thing for backing stuff up. Please let me know and how to do it. Thanks for your time and concern.

Well, Chris, first you have to make sure you are using an Android. Also, @Drorbecker might release an update with fixes. If it doesn't work at first try rebooting and reinstall. It took me three times, but it finally works!

Dunno, I clucked it and it said pull your battery so I pulled it and then I just rebooted as normal.
Didnt change my life.
I don't understand the point of this app either. I don't have to do anything on my G1 to get ADB to work other than plug it into my PC's USB and not mount the SD card.
In theory (havent used it yet): it will allow you to run any adb command directly on your phone. Allows you to remount and push files from your sdcard to the /system and /data partition easily. Look at the system log using logcat and pull files from your /system and /data partition.
However, if you are using a root file manager (Root File Manager or SUFBS), such as myself, its not necessarily needed.
Thanks anyways, great step forward in development!
I'm guessing you need a rooted phone to use this though, right?

What firmware are you running and what OS does your computer have?????
I had the same trouble too but it finally worked for me.
Im running the newest SuperD on my G1, and Vista on my computer.
This is about the most pointless application I've ever seen.
adb server runs on the phone when you enable Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB debugging.
adb client runs on your computer and is used for transferring debugging data between the phone and your debugging system.
adb client has NO PLACE AT ALL on the phone itself. There is NOT a SINGLE THING that it can do that you can't just as easily (easier actually) do from the TERMINAL.

Ummm...not sure how to say this...
Open z4root
See the 'unroot' button right next to the 'root' button?
Figure it out.

Did ya try it with USB debugging enabled? You could try unrooting with superoneclick root.

Right, ok then. You see so many idiotic questions posted on various forums, it's hard to discern if you're looking at another of those.
Maybe you should have mentioned that you've already tried the obvious way. Also, 'didn't work' is kind of devoid of information. Did you get an error message? FC? No Reaction? Success message, but no effect?

Anyway, why would you want to remove su

Guys, I have the same problem. I used z4root to root my UK Tab. It took about 5 minutes to do the job the first time. Everything worked fine I guess. It installed Superuser and I managed to run the application that needed rooting.
The problem is when I try to unroot, I don't have the "unroot" button on the screen. I am on XXJK5 baseband.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx!
Hi test the 1.2.2 app of z4root
i had the samo problem with any other version.
Only 1.2.2 is working with unroot

I have 1.3.0 which roots and un-roots fine on XXJK5
Terminal:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/bin/busybox (Not very useful without root, but some functionality still handy, so up to you)
rm /system/bin/su
exit
Uninstall the Superuser app.
Reboot.
Can't imagine why you'd want to do this unless you're taking it back to the shop.

will Samsung allow to update it
ok, and here maybe the dumbest question...
when ur Tab is rooted, will Samsung allow to update it?
I mean, can they 'see' that and deny any update?
tx in advance
I haven't tried it myself, but I have noticed that the "Oneclick lag fix" app has an unroot module

Since when have Samsung issued an update OTA? Everything update they've released has been via SamFirmware for us to update themselves.
But as a general answer, custom roms won't get the popup saying an update is available. But if you do get one, don't do it.

Using SuperOneClick v1.7 on my Tab. Rooted it in USB mode. Also able to unRoot easily in USB mode. Very simple and without any issue.
I will try myself to unroot it simply because a game (Jewels HD for Galaxy Tab) does not work on rooted devices. It provides a message when trying to open it...
And honestly, for an average user, rooting the device doesn't add much in my opinion (perhaps it is just that I didn't see the benefits yet, except for having Titanium to delete everything or extended backup options).

lmao.
I know these are old posts but since somebody decided to bump this topic anyway I would just like to say to the OP if he hasnt killed himself by licking a live wire.. You sir are a prize ahole/n00b.
Even a logical person reading your initial post would have assumed you was a idiot who didnt even try to unroot with z4root. Nowhere did you mention you had tried, infact teh way you said it sounded like you didnt even know that you could unroot with z4root.
This is why "n00bs" is a bad name, not because its somebody trying to learn but because of ahole's who are lazy in the way they ask and then get pissed because somebody replies in a non-expected way.

need help with z4root

Hi guys I just got a droid 1 yesturday right away I wanted to root it. I am coming from having a rooted incredile I know that doesn't matter in this section lol just saying I'm not really new to rooting. I choosed to use z4root to root my D1 but lastnight and this morning I couldn't get it to go any further than trying to get root accses. Debugging is checked and also is unknown sources is checked. What am I doing wrong?
If you updated to 2.2.1 z4 will not work.
Ahh that explains why it doesn't work the phone had 2.2.1 when I got it. Well that's the end of that lol. Is there another one click root?
Not as a phone app. You can use superoneclick to root if you have a windows machine or use the sbf_flash method on linux.
I have windows 7.
I *think* superoneclick should work for you. You can always google it for additional information.
Ok sounds good ill update if I I manage to root it or if I run into any promblems. But I think I should be able to, rooting the incredible I had to download a drive but that's because I wasn't using a mac but I also had to unzip the file browse for it and load it, unrevoke was what I used. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
ok thanks for your help i am now rooted but i am wondering how do you flash roms with the droid? with the incredible you had recovery, i could go into recovery by pressing volume down plus the power button. is there something close to that with the droid? thanks again.
I would recommend going with clockworkmod. There should be plenty of posts around here, and you can always Google.

[Q] Droid 3 root/unroot question for experts

hey guys this is my first post. I have known about this website for a long time. i am a huge fan. I am having some trouble with my droid 3. I have used the v7 one click root and it worked like an absolute charm. i loved it. i highly recommend it for new d3 users. Only problem is my DA sister was messing with my phone right when the new update went out for them. lets just say.. she updated it. i had absolutely no idea until i tried to access root permissions and it did not work. i had titanium backup running too so my apps are frozen but my phone is not rooted anymore? i cant access anything. i tried to re-root my phone but it says adb is not recognized as an internal or external command or something like that. I dont know if i have to reset my entire phone? or what. Ive tried everything and nothing is working. If this is not the proper forum to ask this question i apologize ahead for this is my first forum like i said. I have absolutely no idea what to do. i am very stuck. Anything can help guys thank you.
if you had so any apps frozen I'm surprised the update went through. Lol the one click root should work for you though. I guess if you've tried everything an sbf with the .890 file is guaranteed to solve your problems and you will be able to reroot just as you've done before. Just check if your drivers are still a-ok
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
thanks
i re-installed new drivers even tho i was pretty sure mine were all set. but instead of opening up the easy root v7 out of winrar directly i extracted it to the desktop then ran it then it worked? lol so i am very confused. but it works now thank you for your help.

[Q] Android 4.0.4 Root?

Hey all!
I have updated my LG p990 to android 4.0.4 using LG´s own software (Stock ROM), and I wonder if there is any way to root that as of yet? superoneclick dont work it seems anymore / yet, and I wonder if the tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
perhaps work to root with option 8 but I cant tell myself just by reading and I´m not allowed to ask there directly myself since I lack postcount.
any help will be greatly appriciated!
your sincerely Natherul
Use option 3 for root your phone.
thanks for reply, tried it but sadly it did not root me -.-
EDIT:
seems it changed the power button though..... now holding it in wont give me option to turn off and pressing it once wont turn off screen, help please
EDIT2:
nvm my edit, pressed home and power together once to make a screenshot then it works with power as normal again..... phone just thought i was holding down home....
Hey there.
How about try option 2. then change recovery to nvflash?
Then once you have a new custom recovery. Look for a stock ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076882
its rooted so that might fix it..
not sure if this is gonna work for you though. might wait for someone more experienced to confirm this.
thanks for trying to help puffingman but i got it working I had to use nvflash method and what went wrong before was the installation of su app (superuser), after downloading a new copy and doing it again its rooted
