I think z4 root is not compatible with your rom. You may want to go the Odin route. I used to use z4 to root, but after the 2.2.1 update it wouldn't work anymore.
Odin is fairly easy to use

How to get to ICS from stock rooted phone

I am currently trying to upgrade to CM10 / JB but kind of stuck. I have deleted SafeStrap v1.07 and unistalled it. I want to upgrade to SafeStrap2.11 so that CM 10/ JB can run. But from what I understand I need to be on ICS. Firstly how do I get on ICS? Can I do a OTA upgrade?
Someone please help me. Sorry if this is a repeat question but I been doing a lot of research to try to get this answered.
Thanks for your help!

Rooted galaxy n7000

Hi guys please help. My n7000 is rooted and the ics 4.0.4 version is a rooted rom one. My software update button is missing. Have downloaded kies but its showing no updates. My question is that can i access kies and official samsung updates through this even though im rooted. Dont really want unroot for fear of bricking my device. Bit of a novice in this area. Any help will be appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Thank you so much. Not even samsung could tell me that.

It wan't send u any notification cause you'r rooted and u have -#su shell active so nothing official untill u flash stock ICS kernel and wait for update.
So you are saying that while rooted i will jpt get any official samsung updates? If i want official updates i must unroot is tuat correct? Or can i still update through kies. Getting confused now. Please help.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
for the pass rooted phone still able to update via kies.
now not sure !still waiting for official 4.1.2 then will know the result.
Ok thanks. I guess its a waiting game as i heard n7000 get the 4.2.1 update sometime march.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
even though the phone is rooted or even a custom kernel is installed, kies detects the firmware and check if there is an update or not.. so it will let us know.. nothing to do with su shell and all.
kies will let you update as well.. but OTA wont work on rooted and custom recovery installed devices.
Ok great thanks. I shall have to wait which is something im not good at.

3 days ago I flashed ICS 4.0.3, rooted it with Philz kernel and attacked it to PC, opened keis, keis not only detected my phone, but also asked if I want to install new updates I accepted the offer, keis then upgraded my ROM to ICS 4.0.4, but I lost root. Super Su was there but Philz CWMR was replaced by stock recovery and Titanium backup told me to get out as my phone was not rooted. So I flashed Philz Rooted kernel again and got root access once again.
So, Yes keis will ask you to update firmware if one is there, but you "may" lose root.
Thank you that is very useful info. I'm already on 4.0.4 so will await the next update. Been informed that note n7000 users will get 4.2.1 sometime in March.

Hi another daft question. Phone was rooted when bought. I have installed rom tool manager from market and am using to alter my status bar. I have installed the ones I want and now assume I have to flash them to get them to take effect. When I go to do this its asking me what name my recovery mode is. How do I find this out. Thanks in advance.

Hello. This update is directly from lg? Can it be rooted? Thank you.
Sorry for the confusion, would this update be for the lg thrill/p925? Or the o3d/p920?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
It is for the p925 thrill. It can be updated straight from lg. It's official. Not sure on the root. Hopefully there are still a couple devs around to at least root, deodex and zipalign the official. Though the stock is fantastic I would love to load google now on it. One of my favorite features on my nexus 7.

The same All in Ones still work to flash the bootloaders and recovery.
Guys,
I'm on xbsa vx3d (custom ROM based on v30b).
I have a quick question for people with official ROM:
Do you have fancy 4G symbol all the time? I.e. before I used to have 3G when I was on 3G and H for HDSA (or whatever it's called). Now I have 4G all the time....
I remember long time ago, when we just got gingerbread some guy made a patch to show actual speed - 3G or H. That was nice...
Thanks!

Hello. Thanks for your response. I can not seem to get this rooted. Which method did you use? Thank you

In the same boat. No matter what method I use it won't root. Even the methods from the O3D thread won't work.

Flash wkpark's bootloader from the o3d threads. From there, flash recovery, and then flash a superuser zip.
If no one beats me to it, I can upload a deodexed stock ROM this weekend.

Looks like someone already made a rooted zip. This is just stock, not deodexed

YES, the bootloaders you will flash are unlocked, making it able to have the custom recovery installed. Installed the new 4.0.4 on my Thrill last night but did not try to root. Will be rooting tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.

Ok. Thank you. Please let me know if you use oshacking's all in one tool.

I did use his tool. It was a little easier to understand than the original. When it says wait five seconds, count to five then put your battery back in. If you do it correctly it will vibrate when you insert it. If not, then re start the procedure. From here you can install the WKparks bootloaders and custom recovery. I installed the TWRP recovery manager, I like it way better than CWM. Easier to use IMO. After you install the recovery boot into it and make a backup. Install the Su_Bbox zip file on your SD card then boot back into recovery and install the zip. Voila! You are now rooted. Or save yourself a step and put it on your SD card before that. Lol. I am now rooted. I hope this helps ya.

Galaxy S I900 with Froyo on it

Hi, I just got my Galaxy S I900 today.
It has stock froyo 2.2 on it.
I want to flash JB.
Is it possible to just root my phone then flash Jelly bean without getting Gingerbread first?
Thanks.

You need to flash a 2.3.6 ROM, then get cwm (custom kernel) then flash cm10.1 three times. First time you flash it, you will get an error so don't worry.

Flash 2.3.6, root it using a custom kernel.
But install CM9 first and let it boot before flashing CM10.1 three times. Just to make sure you don't lose your IMEI.

The lost IMEI "bug" is fixed. Even if he does lose it, the .zip backs it up onto the sdcard and he can simply copy that folder (Efs) to the root of his phone.
