"USB debugging" is greyed out with ZV8
I thought I would share some bad news that I've already found in just 5 minutes with ZV8 installed.
#1, TOP OF THE LIST ... Under Applications > Development, you will find that the "USB debugging" is greyed out so it can't be clicked anymore! (Same as the tethering function).
THAT, I recall, is key to the rooting process.
HELP! Can one of you "rooting experts" help out some LG Revo guys with ZV8 installed?
Thanks!

Were you plugged into the computer when it was greyed out?

When you have your phone USB mode on "Internet Connection" it greys out the development options. You have to turn them on before you enter Internet Connection mode.

I have a brand new revo with zv8 (plugged in to pc) and i do not now nor have i ever had that problem

Rooting without USB possible?

Hello guys,
I have now tried for the last 8 hours to connect my phone via USB to my computer without any success.
I have read many threads concerning this problem but by now I just assume that my USB port is partly broken as I have tried all the solutions and none worked for me.
I can still charge the phone but windows isn't even showing that a device has been connected. Twice of probably thirty times windows showed me that an unknown device has been connected for a couple of seconds and then the phone isn't connected anymore.
I would like to root my phone and would like to know if there is a possible way to do it. Some say it's possible (depending on the Firmware already installed), some say it isn't.
My i9000 phone has:
Firmware 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected]#1
Build Number Froyo.XWJPA
I hope you guys can help me, I am getting desperate...

Try this : http://www.unlockroot.com/
Here is the drivers : http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

Hey guy,
did you install Kies on your Computer? Your PC need the latest USB Samsung drivers. Note that you couldn't install Samsung drivers for newer devices like the Galaxy 9000 on Windows 2000 or older. You also have to look for the right drivers for your system. Maybe you did install x86 driver on 64 bit system or x64 drivers on 32 bit system.
Driver solution:
Go to settings, system and look for the hardware manager or simply check the "windows brenchmark settings" (included in vista and win7).
Try to follow that instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542633
Note:
If you have a working USB connection, you should search for flashing instructions because flashing is always on your own risk! It isn't hard to learn but you have to know which risks are there. Don't be scared by faults they can be undone (mostly).
Flashing:
First you should upgrade your phone to an early Gingerbread (3.2) build. Just search for "Gingerbread Stock Rom" or use "Darky's Resurrection" package. You'll find them here on XDA or in the world wide web
If you get trouble you'll get support here but first you should read about flashing and rooting.
best regards

As I told you I think that my USB port is damaged and hence I can't establish a usb connection to my phone.
I tried several drivers, Kies, different settings, simply everything which was already discussed.
My Galaxy will not even show up as an "unknown device" in my Windows 7 32bit (of course I used 32bit drivers).
Unlockroot requires me to connect the Galaxy via USB to the computer, so I can't use that.
Any other suggestions?

If your using a acer computer and you have never reinstalled window than it more than likely wont work. But you can google apps like z4root and universaland root i think thats what its called. Those apps i have rooted a few froyo devices with but z4 i have never seen work with the i9000 but try and see

Rooting Galaxy Note - Superoneclick

Hi!
I try to root my Galaxy Note N7000 with latest Superoneclick 2.3.3.0.
I have latest Samsung Kies 2.3.3.12085_7 installed.
When I turn on Kies and have usb debugging off so that Kies finds the phone Superoneclick hangs at "Starting ADB server".
When I have Kies off and usb debugging on Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Please tell me what I do wrong - I hate to have ads in my phone so I need to root.

[Q] ADB not working/Trying to root

I have been trying to root my LG Optimus 2x for maybe 10 hours now. Nothing works.
I bought it already used, with stock rom Froyo 2.2.2
I am running winxp sp3 and ofcorse i have already installed LG drivers and have "debug usb mode" (adb) checked.
List of thinks i have tried without success:
SuperOneClick - No ADB connection
NVFLASH - no connection
Smartflash - no connection
ADB over wifi - apparently i need root for this, so no success
^After theese tries, i came to the conclusion that my usb connection is not working for some reason (i cant even get mass storage working, well, never buying used phones again)
z4Root - App freezes and can not be started again without reboot.
Root via Terminal Emulator (Rage against the cage) - I cant seem to run/copy this .bin anywhere, "Operation not permitted"
I even tried gingerbreak.
I am not a linux noob, nor an Android noob. I have successfully rooted multiple devices, Desire (pvt-4 alpharev s-off) and some tier 1 android phones.
Anyone have any clue what is going on here?

U can try Unlock Root. It worked perfectly on my o2x!
Very easy to root, basicly with one click, very fast.

[Q] Can't root optimus 2x *PLEASE HELP*

Hello,
probably this question was asked a lot but I can't find anything that can help me.
I've latest ICS software on my LG Optimus 2X (4.0.4) and I would like to root my phone. I've checked USB debugging mod and unknown sources, tried every method I've found and still can't root my phone. Also I've installed drivers for my phone and tried on other pc, same think. I've tried method without PC, Z4root. It starts to root and in one moment app crashes and I must restart my phone to open it again. Super one click stuck on step 5 or 7. I read threads about that problem and I couldn't find any usefull. Please help. What's wrong? I really need to root my phone because it starts to be slow and I'm already sick of running background apps.
Thank you for help

I've finally made it. I've download all in one tool kit and in main windows pressed ''I'' button and installed NVFlash and it worked finally
