[Q] Need tester for one click root for galaxys no computer needed
Hey,
I just wrote this up.
Thanks to jcase for the information and his root for eris: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228
This will root your phone with no button pressing. No need for a PC.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkbiyt99bws3ft/Galaxysrooter_Final.apk
NOTE: The auto-reboot will not work. it seems only system apps can reboot the phone. So for now.
Here is the work around
Code:
Just power off... Reboot into recovery...
Hold vol + and vol -
Hold power
Wait for vibrant
Release power
Reinstall packages
Mirror thanks to jphilpot
Confirmed working! Thanks to themykel.
Thanks to all for bug testing. This should be the final version. No need to use astro or anything to move files.
Thanks!
If you like this app and it helped you. Please donate. http://bit.ly/crSq3B THANKS!
if this is confirmed working, i can put this up in my market account for users to easily download / install / use. let me know.

No. It's just the basic root + unroot. Made it simple for my first root app
easy to pop the new busyboxy via market. More will follow for other phones.
Confirmed working on my vibrant. I odin'ed back to stock and re-rooted with this (figrued why not, I still have 4 days left on my free return! )

Thanks my friend you rock.
I just didnt want to test the unroot process. Because i have too much stuff on my phone and only one unit
Very very Much appreciated.
I will update the alert for unroot.
your link is bad
Its down for me as well
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's not down, it's a copy paste error.
Tested and does work (first time rooting my phone)... however for some reason my phone some times does not wake up from sleep (had to do a battery pull), the screen wont light up/wake up. I didnt have such a problem before using your root app, weird!!!
Tried it 3 times before giving up and rooting the old fashioned way..with the update.zip
For some reason it kept putting the files on the sd card instead of internal.
did not work for me could not open zip files on sd card

I had that issue, simply move the update zip to where it needs to be, I used Astro
Koush is going to add the root method to clockwork in the extras folder. It would be awesome if koush added a root option for as many phones as possible. That would make clockwork the ultimate android app.

New method found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19390207#post19390207
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.
Were do I click run.bat?

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.
Thanks mt! Worked great first time! You are the savior of the LG Revolution.
Does this mean I have to start donating 10% of my pay??

I am sure I should know this answer, but what mode do I need to set the phone in when I connect to the computer? I'm assuming mass storage mode is not going to fly.

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?
So I got a lg revolution off of craigslist. The phone says its in test mode, and has the lg hidden menu enabled. I can not mount it to the computer because of this. It also charges slow as crap, like really slow. The phone on Verizons end is seen as a non verizon device for some reason. Called lg and they said I need to send it in and they will fix it for 40 to 100 dollars. Anyone have any idea how to get it out of test mode. Please help.

No it is not rooted. I have root explorer, and I looked at the system files and I can see CDGHiddenmenu.apk I am not rooted. The hiddenmenu is blocking me from connecting it to my computer. So is there a way to root without computer and should I delete that apk?

Try powering it off, press and hold volume up (not down like recovery), press and hold the power button. Continue to hold both and hopefully it will enter download mode. Once there make sure you have proper drivers installed, and try to push zv7 with lgnspt.

A picture of the output you're getting in the root.bat window would probably be helpful here. Unless the not extracting thang is the problem.

If it took, you should have superuser in your apps drawer.
You can download titanium back up if you are unsure, it needs root to run, and will ask for permission to do so.
Otherwise you can get root checker basic.
After that, if you wish to get rid of all the phone companies goodies, feel free to look in the development section, there are a couple roms. I like Gingervolt. I do believe you start with gingervolt 1.0 and then 1.1, then 1.2 then 1.3 with out removing anything from the previous builds. I know some glitches have been reported in the later versions, but MT is always around to help and we are always here to answer questions.
I am trying to root my stock revo V7 2.3.4. I am not able to get through to it. I am not familiar with rooting but want to get more out of this phone. Anyone have any suggestions?
More information is needed what have you tried?
Also this shouldn't have been a new thread and shouldn't have been in this section.

Thanks for getting me in the right area guys. Sorry, wasn't trying to cause any problems.
I have tried the one click version with mt and it never took. Mt even tried doing it for me. I have enabled debugging and dollars each step to the last detail.
I have also tried superoneclick with no success on the install. I'm unaware of how to do it manually.

Have you tried a different computer? Even doing it the manual way will require the same exploit, and more than likely will result in the same outcome.

What method of root did you use? And check your app drawer for revo tool kit then you need to download the clockwork mod recovery check what recovery you have if it isn't the 4.0.0.2-pr1 then you need to click on to install that if it didn't go through the first time keep trying but do not reboot after it says it successfully installed hit the menu soft key And reboot in to recovery once you are in there make a back up by going to the backup And restore part And choose back up after you should wipe your data by going to format system INSIDE CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY not from inside your phone settings for gingervolt you need to put the zip on your external sd card so that means not the one that says internal place it on the root ( main portion) not in folder then reboot into recovery (if you had to boot to put ginger volt on your sd) the same way as before then go to install zip from sd card choose the gingervolt zip nitty the install update.zip option select yes let it install then reboot.. Also in clockwork recovery you use to volume keys to navigate up And down And the power button to select

If you rooted with mts all in one click that has cwm sticking just go into it manually. I always download everything to the phone directly makes it easier for me.
How do I get into clockwork mod? I installed and hit recovery. Whenever I hit the menu key, the more option is not there. I'm so confused

Best way to check you have cwm download revotool kit and check that way. If it says you have it then you can reboot from revo toolkit.

Its been a while since I have been in the toolkit. There should be a button somewhere that says check recovery or something like that. You could go to the revo toolkit page and look at what the OP put on there sorry I can't really help to much on that.
