let me start off with this is my first attempt at rooting a Droid. I have had a droid since the launch the droid1. Now, I have tried rooting my Droid 4 and I can not get it exactly to work. First I rooted it without the drivers. So I went through the process of getting them.. then I tried again. Nothing. It seems like it is doing the same thing each time, but when I download the RootChecker it consistently says that my phone is not rooted properly... I'm hoping I can get it done right so that I may move on to rooting my Samsung Tab2. Then after that I look forward to using su and safestrap, but i cant without a good root. help please
***Used jsnweitzel's method and D4 is updating binary as we speak. Thanks to all that helped! now it's time to get cm10 and root the Tab2

What are you using to root your phone? Are you getting any kind of errors when the root process is running?

Again sorry for the noob post. this was probably too much info haha. but whatever can help figure this little problem out.
Yea that's the method I used also, I'm sorry but I just don't know what your problem would b, I guess the best thing to do would b to just start all over and make sure u have the latest moto drivers from there site and just give it another try. Good luck and let us know if u do any good.

You might also want to try a different method. I used the Droid 4 Utility ICS Only by jsnweitzel. It probably does the same thing but might be worth a shot. Using the same utility you could also try using the restore function to start fresh (one of the restore options allows you to not wipe data).

Did u ever get your problem solved? Hopefully u did because cm10 runs beautifully on the droid 4, well imo anyway. Let us know if u had any luck.

The ICS root tool and Jsnweitzel's are the same thing just packaged in an app so both would work. I also noticed that sometimes you have to download superuser from the market. After doing that open a program that requires root and then the prompt will appear asking if you want to give su permission. Grant it. Then go to superuser and update the binary.

I am going to try jsnweitzel's method now. I am just waiting for the download. i will let you guys now how it goes. but once that is done I will be looking to get cm10 (with the tip from adizzle23, thank you), however knowing myself I will run into problems with that as well but yes I will let you all know how this goes after it is all done.

Yeah it is updating in su right now.
Next step, like you were mentioning, is to get cm10.. hope that runs a little smoother. haha.
Well good luck and glad its workin out, but I do have to say that cm10 isn't perfect but its close, there are a few things that don't work. The camera flash doesn't work and mms has to be tweeked to get it to work, all u have to do is go into your message settings and turn auto retrieve off and it works fine, or u can use go sms pro app, and you lose webtop and I'm pretty sure hdmi doesn't work, I still use cm10 as my daily driver with no problems except the ones mentioned above and everything else works great, but that's the good thing about using safestrap because u can flash several roms and just flash back and forth from rom to rom until you find the one u like the most. So hope it all works out and just make sure u watch a how to video on youtube or something when learning how to use safestrap and flashing custom roms.

Hey guys,
Trying to help a buddy at work unlock his driod1 - he updated to FFRG22D - now any of the single click root methods do not work..
My phone is a nexus1 and did not have these issues: As I am not a Droid owner / user I am hoping people in the forums here help to get him rooted.
I would like to get him on to ClockWork - so we can flash CM6 on his droid.
Can someone point me to a good guide to rooting this?
Cheers,
hey if he is OTA FRG22D can you please post his build.prop file for me to take a look at, it can be found under /system on phone memory, i am working out a market fix for rooted frg01b users like my self, i wont update until after frg22d is rooted for real but i can spoof the version and fingerprint if i have that file contents
i found what i was looking for after a while, thanks.

Have you had any luck? My buddy had his phone replaced and the new one has this update, but he would like me to root it again for him.
can you not just download the old froyo, put it in the sd as update.zip, flash that then root?
FRG22D hotspot app
I have the OTA FRG22D stock unrooted. In-order to root it, I used the following procedure, from droidforums:
"Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version". After installing the custom recovery:

The one click root apps do not work with FRG22D. The exploit those apps used was patched with this release.
The FRG01B & FRG22B stock/odex/deodex only work for devices that are already rooted. Meaning that if you do manage to imstall them you will not have root.
You need to do a *sbf* back to 2.1 or2.01.

It doesn't.
The method that RodNoc_eR just mentioned above just worked for me. Here's the link again: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
for those of you who are doing this the complicated way, THERE IS a ONE-CLICK METHOD, since I cant post links, Google SuperOneClick, download and find instructions, its pretty much as easy as downloading the .zip, extracting it to where ever you want, right click on SuperOneClick application and Run as Administrator, make sure USB debugging is checked, DO NOT mount as USB storage device, click root button on the program, let it do its thing, and wa-la!
You have acheived root! Be sure to download the Custom Recovery of your choice, which is as easy as DLing Rom Manager from the Market and flashing ClockworkMod, I just did this and am now happy I spent time searching and not typing commands into the SDK, super easy and it works for the DROID 1 FRG22d, I just did it.
Enjoy!
Is there a easier way to Root your captivate, I have tried several one click or different ways and have had no luck. Anybody can help me with this or point me in the right direction that works? the one click app don't work I really want to add and run other apps.
And also the KIES software does not work it never did. I really don't like the software even after trying the lite version. I like Droid Explorer. Oh yea this is on a 2.2 Froy OS

Have you considered joining the party and flashing a custom ROM? They all come prerooted to make your lives easier. At least I know my ROMS, MikeyMikes and anything by designgears does. I have not tried the rest yet.
I would definitely follow adam's advice and just flash a new rom. here is a good tutorial to help you get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Adam's roms are great as well as DG's. Give one of them a try and realize how good of a phone the captivate really is.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
If you are that stuck on rooting only, and one click really doesnt work for you (thats a first).
Google root captivate. A root update.zip should be very easy to find, put it on your internal sd card, reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall packages.
Id post one, but i am on my phone...
^ not going to be able to root on stock froyo at the recovery 3e wont let you install unsigned zips. The one workaround to this would be flashing a custom kernel via ODIN and then using that custom recovery to root.
Doh! I missed that.
Maybe odin to 2.1, and install a custom rom / kernel package...
Hey everyone this is the third android device root im attempting. Ive rooted both my Droid incredible as well as my HTC evo 4g, so im not a major noob. With that said i still need help. First off yes ive searched for root options for my galaxy tab 7. ive tried z4root, gingerbreak, and everyones favorite superonceclick. i just got done trying hemidall (spelling) and that was no luck. im ready to throw both my computer and tab in the garbarge, but i like a challenge and want to get this accomplished. so with that being said when i plug in the tablet to the PC it wont connect with the junk softwawre kies or anything else. when i use superonceclick it gets to the point of the second "zerg rush" and it says path not specified. Ive downloaded what i think are the correct drivers. ive got the version of C++ it wants as well as the driver and it just wont root. so please can Anyone help??????

Do you just want root? or are you planning on using a custom rom? CM9 maybe?
For myself, I just wanted to jump to CM9, so I just jumped in with heimdal, then flashed over CM9... no rooting or anything!
Hey it was to try custom roms i read there was a decent ics rom but i havent gotten into cm9. I downloaded the galaxy tab cubed rom and everytime i tried loading into hiemdall it said tar header invaild file size so i gave up for now

If you are on GB 2.3.3 or lower you can easily root r tab with the above methods. But I thought everyone's favorite was doomlord's script?
GB 2.3.5 and above is unrootable with the methods you mention.
There are two ways you can go. The easiest one is to install pre-rooted kernel for sch-i800 or other CDMA models.
I tried doomlords script woth no luck as well. I am running 2.3.5 so ill have to root with a kernal? Also what did hammerfest meam when he said he flashed cm9 without rooting?

2: Found the drivers and odin
2.5: Spent the better part of 3hrs literally DIGGING through posts on HOW to get this done PROPERLY, like someone else said, the information was THERE on how to do it properly, but it was BERRIED like a needle in a hay stack...
3: Flashed cubed's ROM (using odin, without rooting at all)
4: Flashed AOKP (more for the update for CWM)
5: Flashed CM9
If I cared to go through the pain again of going stock then reflash, and licked the sound of my voice when recorded, id do a video...but I dont want to and I dont like it, so... Sorry?

Just download and install all parts of House of Bionic and follow the on-screen instructions. In order to un-root you need to choose option 2 then option 2 again. Check out the FAQ if you have trouble with ADB. Read the post very carefully and probably more than once but it is actually very simple.

Thanks Samuri for this script, I have been telling everyone about it. Cheers!
?
does anyone know if the apps that hide the root will work or do I have to completely unroot the phone?
rooting the phone
as you most likely know motofail will root the phone, settings applications unknown sources, development usb debugging i also check leave screen on, then when usb is plugged in make sure charge only, have a good charge also on yer battery, if in 7 right click on motofail run as admin
i also like to have wifi already going and download root checker, this verifies, sometimes, dunno why, when i go to one rom or another i have to use one version of motofail or another version of it, also motooneclick worked for me also,
either way that'll get your phone rooted, i haven't done anything with ics, i did see a version of motofail for rooting ics afterwards
i'm on eclipse 2.2 which i just love, need anything else gimme hollar, skype allen-sec or yahoo allensecz
learning the bionic and this myself, been at it for about a month, learned a lot, just don't have 3g flowing yet,
so if you got that going on yours, hey gimme hollar

Bare with please
I asked in a different thread but I got some things answered but not all exactly.
I keep hearing if I want to unroot my Bionic I need to use all the HoB files or FXZ. I will explain why I'm still a little confused.
I used Razrs Edge to root my bionic earlier this week after the OTA ICS update. Worked in like 3 minutes and put safestrap v3.05 on and made a backup of my stock OS. I want to restore and then remove safestrap but I'm confused on how to unroot. Since all the unroot methods seem to be based around HoB or motofail or using the Pete's files (which the links never seem to work)
What i need/want answered is how do I unroot it if I used the Razrs Edge method of rooting? With one of the methods i mentioned above work? If so, which one please and will i just follow the same method?
My reasoning is when/if JB OTA comes out I want to unroot to get it so i figured since I'm involved now, I might as well learn how to unroot it now and get it over with.
Thanks
Eric

2:full wipe
3:install rom via CWR or bootstrap

Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.
Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.
Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....
Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon
pls hit thanks if i helped
