[Q] cannot root 2.3.6 using DooMLoRD zergrush

I ran the runme.bat and everything seemed to run just fine, no errors. after reboot, I'm still at unroot. no SU permissions. BTW, I just want to root, not flash a custom ROM. Sorry I'm posting here. XDA wouldnt' let me add to the current thread about zergrush.

Thanks for the advice. I forgot to mention that I tried SuperOneClick as well. It told me that I was already rooted and did I want to run it anyway. I said yes. I tried Root Check Baisc and it said I'm rooted as well. the problem is when I open Terminal Emulation I get a $. If I type SU, I get permission denied. SU binary is up to date.
BTW, I'm primarily doing all this so I can clear dalvik-cache and perhaps move some of my apps to SD. Still can't do that.
If I open ADB shell on my computer, I can change $ to #, but after I reboot phone, it's back to no permissions.

what abt your firmware version? its impossible to root .62. you must downgrade it first to .58. Same was the case with and after downgrading it worked like a charm.
this helped me get there:

But my phone have no recovery. I bought it few days ago and I get it with 2.3.6 by default. what to do?

it has one, a stock samsung one,
which makes hlupdate.zip's aviable
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app

There's something noobs don't always understand: THERE IS A ****ING GENERAL SECTION.

how can I get that recovery?
i tried with pressing some buttons but cant get it in

wrong section
press and hold volume up AND home button, while pressing buttons turn the phone on and apply update.zip from menu

phone will not root after software update

my droid 3 was previously rooted with no problem. i had the liberty rom on it, with safestrap, after a software update forced itself onto my phone, it pushed my phone between the root and unroot process. like it was trying to flash the stock rom back onto the phone and ended up with a mix of both. i was stuck in a setup screen and the only way to get my phone back to use was to factory reset my phone.
well now after the software update and all of that mess my phone will not root again! ive tried motofail and petestoolkit and neither worked. it told me it could not push the su, super user and busybox files onto it. it was able to edit local.prop. weird i just need a way to root my phone again, im guessing its the software update that is blocking it. it was update 5.5.1_84_d3g-66_m2-10
anyone know another method of root that my phone will allow? id think since its kind of an old phone there might be a solution :/
please and thank you

Tl;Dr but try zergrush
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda premium

I just installed the .906 update and used MotoFail to root after the update. Worked fine.

What's the problem?
Did i do something wrong?
Do i need s-off to launch recovery?
Please help!

Use the tool provided by in the signature to install the right recovery for your hboot, because as far as i can tell, you installed the recovery for 1.25 hboot and if it doesn't work, that means you have 1.28 recovery, make your homeworks before posting this kind of questions because all the inormation you want can be found in stona's guide and in my tool.
Hope this helps
