How to root froyo 2.2.2

Download the .apk found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 i used version 1.2. install a file manager if you transfered the file from your pc and find the .apk and install it. if doing it from the device same thing. before opening the .apk make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled.
Open the gingerbreak .apk and simply click Root device. If successful the device will reboot. Once it reboots download an app that requires superuser. and if all went well it should ask for superuser perms. Also you should now see the SU apk in your app draw.
Now Download Rom Manager from the market and flash Clockworkmod recovery and flash away. Rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else works within it. You must manually enter recovery by holding + volume and power until bootloader menu appears. Then select option 2. Make sure your battery has 80% or more. No more fastboot. Good luck and happy streaking.
I'm not responsible if you brick your device. Do some reading before you think about rooting and see if its for you.
Thanks goes to the devs of gingerbreak.

THANK YOU HELLZYA!
And Thanks to Chainfire over at GingerBreak.
This is the coolest thing EVER!
So happy to have root now!!!!!!
Time to be a flash monster. lol

Very strange. I have SU but CWM does not work.
I click on Backup ROM and it just reboots.
I click on Install ROM from SDCard and it just reboots.
I click Reboot into Recovery and it just reboots.
Other than that everything else works great that needs SU.

Now everything force closes
I haven't been able to flash because everytime I reboot my Streak 7 returns to factory state, so in another thread I was suggested this workaround to help me get CWM installed and then flash another ROM...
Well, I ran this and it seemed to be fine, ran quick and then rebooted, but much to my disappointment, now everything force closes, everything, I can't even use the calculator.... and sometimes the startup wizard crashes and/or the home launcher...
Im worse off than when I started.
About the only info I can give you is that it's a Streak 7 with 2.2.2 installed

Gravityrat rom manager is only good for flashing recovery nothing else. You have to manually access. Cwr by holding plus volume and power till you see bootloader menu. Select option 2 and you will be presented with cwr. Make sure your battery is at 80% or more

i rememeber reading this on streak forums last week

thanks for this!!! Too bad it was just one day late for me after spending 6 hours figuring everything out...

Where was this when I spent hours using SuperOneClick and finding workarounds?
But seriously, thanks for the method input! I love methods that don't require a computer (I'm trying to rid myself of a computer entirely, so I hate to hook up to my old desktop even if it's to root).

Thatruth it was actually posted this week. Saw it tryed it and it worked. Figured id share

Mods, can you replace the SuperOneClick sticky with this?

I am new at this, so can someone please explain how do I "make sure debugging is on and unknown sources is enabled"?

You need to download the gingerbreak apk from xda, make sure you allow opps from unknown sources and have debugging ticked, install the apk then open it and run it your streak will reboot then you have root hope it helps you
Go to your streaks settings and within there in applciations and development sections
Settings - applications - tick unknown sources - select development - tick debugging

rooting by two methods
to root galaxy mini the easiest way is doing this by an update.zip or using superoneclick by shortfuse.org
For gt-s5570i and gt-s5570 here is the update.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576202 here you can get the update.zip
download update.zip and copy it to the root of your folder
1. switch off your phone press the home button and while pressing home button start the phone you will get to the recovery mode
2. in the recovery mode choose the 2nd option stated approximately as install sdcard/update.zip it will install the update
3. choose the first option reboot system now you mobile will restart if you find superuser app in you app drawer then your mobile is rooted
how to use superoneclick
1. download and install superoneclick on your pc
2. connect your device to your pc via data cable
3.start the usb debugging in your phone you can find usb debugging in setting--->application--->development--->usb debugging
4. when pc complete the driver installation open superoneclick which you installed earlier after oppening restart you pc
5. after restarting connect your device again open superoneclick and click on root in about 2 minutes your mobile will get root
6. superoneclick will ask for a test run it it will send su command on your device you will have to tap on yes to complete the test some time a toast message will appear showing that app has granted superuser permission it means your mobile has been rooted [rooting gingerbread with superoneclick will take more time than froyo]

Are you sure that SuperOneClick can only root 2.2 devices ?
Ive read that the latest SuperOneClcik can also root the Gingerbread versions.

Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App

I think superoneclick is only for rooting phones.
You should use Odin to update to a new Android, thus flashing a newer Android.

how you get rid of stock apps through odin

Okay i used the update.zip to root and after restarting I found the super user app. But when I open it says no " no apps in list" basically I can navigate through the app, i just dont see it do anything, I still can't figure out how to remove stock apps, what am I missing?
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App

Hmmmm so after some pondering I decided to try something different. I installed ES file explorer and in the settings menu activated both root settings available, doing so led the all powerful superuser flash screen granting superuser powers to the es file explorer. now using the explorer I have tried deleting the preinstalled apps that came with the phone but imagine they still refuse to uninstall!! What is it gonna take to get rid of em. The operA mini 5 and quick office are annoying me everytime i see them oh oh and the useless samsung apps app that always wants to download a huge update whenever I try using it keeps taunting me. They need to go.

my stock froyo had too many useless apps already installed that i couldnt remove...........so i guess when i flashed GB, those apps simply vanished.
i didnt do anything special with odin to get that result......

i also faced the same problem so i just removed it.

Now that I am certain I have rooted what next? I was under the impression that rooting would give me powers such as changing app permissions that were installed and those that are to be installed such as whether to allow or deny internet access, deny unnecessary permissions that some apps demand etc. instead I am disappointed to realize it only grants superuser powers to only apps that demand such powers. Meaning it only gives apps with demand for more power the licence to roam free unprohibited instead of offering me the power to curb the powers of some apps that I consider have too much permissions already, am I right?
So now that am root compliant what next? What apps do you lot consider to be essential utilities in a rooted phone that previously I could not install?

[Q] Am I rooted or not rooted ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out whether my Samsung Note N7000 is rooted or not.
I thought I have rooted it as there is a superuser app on the phone. But when I run a root checker app it tells me my phone is not rooted, I tried running rooted apps but not able to so I guess the phone is not rooted.
So I tried rooting my phone again using Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 but the program tells me my phone has ALREADY BEEN ROOTED and whether I want to proceed or not. I select to proceed but Superoneclick hangs at "Shell rooting device... - Step #7" "WaitForDevice"
Both the USB debugging and unknown sources boxes are ticked, SD card unmounted.
Can anyone help ?

I'm also not sure if your phone rooted or not..

[Q] help me root correctly

Ok, I have been reading and want to root this bad boy but everywhere I read I get confused. Don't flash using kingo. Use root de la vega but if your on MJ5 like me then don't use de la vega. So, what do I do? I want to root, and run xposed but I also want to do it correctly. Did I mention that I'm on MJ5?
Please, any help would be nice.

Just use Kingo... I used it with no issues other than the custom padlock showing at boot.

And you can get rid of the padlock after you install a few tweaks using wanam xposed.

Hi
Please follow the below steps
Step 1. First, make sure you have either SM-N9005, SM-N9006, SM-N900, Korean SM-N900S, Canadian SM-N900W8, Sprint SM-N900P, or T-Mobile SM-N900T model Note 3. If your model is not listed, try CF Auto Root instead.
For AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A root method, see How to Root AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A!
For Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A root method, see How to Root Verizon Galaxy Note 3!
Download the following files:
Download appropriate CWM or TWRP recovery for your Note 3 (Make sure you download the CORRECT version for your Note 3 model!!!)
Download ODIN program and unzip.
Download SuperSU zip file
Download and install Samsung USB drivers
Step 2. Turn off your Note 3.
Step 3. Hold down, Volume Down, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 2-3 seconds then let go of all buttons when you see a warning screen:
Then hit Volume Up button to enter Download mode.
Step 4. You should now see Download mode. This is the ODIN download mode where you can use ODIN to install custom recovery.
Step 5. Plug a micro-USB cable from your Note 3 to your computer.
Step 6. Run ODIN program you downloaded earlier in Step 1. (only for Windows or use VMWare on Linux/Mac).You should see a yellow-highlighted box with a random COM number in ODIN program. If you do not see it, download and install Samsung USB drivers then unplug/re-plug the micro-USB cable. Also, you may have to use a USB 3.0 cable supplied with your Note 3, try plugging it in a USB 3.0 port first and if that doesn’t work plug it into a regular USB 2.0 port. One of them should work.
Step 7. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE but choose “PDA” in ODIN program then find the CWM recovery .tar file you downloaded earlier then hit Start button.
Step 8. Your Note 3 should now reboot. When rebooted, copy the SuperSU zip file you downloaded in Step 1 to your Note 3 internal storage.
Step 9. Turn off your Note 3.
Step 10. Hold down, Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together for about 6-7 seconds then let go of all buttons.
Step 11. You should now be in CWM recovery. Choose “Install zip”, then “Install from sdcard”, then choose the SuperSU zip file you downloaded earlier.
Step 12. Reboot and your Note 3 should be rooted. You can verify by downloading and running Titanium Backup app from Play Store.

But if you use cf auto root you will trip Knox and you will void warranty.

Just use Kingo, it's safe and it works with no KNOX tripping. You can also revert it if you choose to go back to stock unrooted.

If you are worried about voiding your warranty, then you shouldn't root your phone..

For those worried about Kingo this is copied from their current user agreement. So if they violate it then you have a case for a law suit against them..
5.5 Android ROOT DOES NOT contain any malicious codes aimed at undermining user data and accessing users private information, or any function codes monitoring and tracking user computer, DOES NOT monitor users online and offline behavior, collect any user information of other software and documents, or disclose any private information.
If they where fishy as some around here say they would not include that paragraph in their own agreement to hang themselves with..

Would Kingo work for the att note 3 ?
