You know, that Kies actually needs to be installed (not running) because of the USB drivers? Or you could try these ones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
Are you sure Framaroot didn't work? It worked on my S running 2.3.6, notmsure why it wouldn't work for 2.3.3
As rasm said, Kies needs to be installed. Try install it then plug the phone in while its on. The drivers for connection SHOULD start installing...

Yes im sure framaroot didnt work cause i checked with root checker. and kies
has been installed afrw times now. its uninstalled currently cause someone mentioned try uninstall it but keep its drivers
Hey soryuu
would you be able to post up how you did your framaroot incase i screwed up
along the way??
many thank
s guys
Uhm, well I don't own my S anymore, but I always used Framaroot 1.5.1 and I used the... Aragorn exploit (I think)

I was able to root my Droid 1 with SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse with not problems on the first try.
Version 2.2.1 Build FRG83D
I tried easyroot and z4root and neither worked on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Worked for me too. SuperOneClick then installed Rom Manager from market = good to go
by any chance you know why Superoneclick will not find my device? Ive tried the steps listed below the download page for superoneclick and it still doesnt work...
I'm an idiot, just figured out what I did wrong :/

I'll go ahead and post the solution I found when it was stuck at "waiting for device" when trying to root mine. I had not installed the drivers on my PC for my Motorola A855. As soon as I got the drivers installed, it rooted quickly and easily! I hope that helps someone else searching. There are a ton of "waiting for device" complaints in certain threads, and rarely is it recommended to make sure the drivers are installed!
superoneclickv1.5.5
Used today to root stock D1-running 2.2.1 FRG83D. Downloaded PdaNet then ran root. Took like three times turning debugging off and on but finally completed. Thanks
Yeah downloaded z4root then bought easyroot neither worked. Gonna try super one today and see what happens.

Did superoneclick yesterday on og droid worked flawlessly.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
what was the process you guys went through?
I installed the drivers for the phone
Turned USB Debugging OFF
Clicked Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
ran RATC
but then it just locks up and doesn't do anything. I went to turn off USB again and then it just loops.
Any ideas?
I just did it exactly how short fuse says to and it worked great. First time actually.

Working for me like a charm
Thanks a lot. Its working for me. My set is Samsung GT I5801 (Upgraded to froyo for GT I5800 and used Superoneclick).
Just an information for other users that I needed one manual restart after applying Superoneclick to get the root access.
Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Well man only thing left i could say is to get a new wire. Just cuz it charges dont mean the wire ismt damaged. Other than that i think you might have a phone with an attitude!

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

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??????

Whats your "end-game"?
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?

I did the following:
1: Total factory reset! (to include formatting my MicroSD card!)
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?
Hello everyone,
I am on a stock german ICS and trying out Dr.Ketan's root method.
I have done everything as described, but when i get to CWM it keeps rebooting into itself every time i press any button.
Wondering what is happening with my phone, it sometimes also just reboots entirely out of itself (usually on almost low battery).
Bit scared of flashing with Odin and especially what kernel/rom fits my phone best, any help would be greatly appreciated!

As of now, until further notice, CWM.zip is deemed unsafe to use. Check the thread in the general section. Dr. Ketan has also updated the root guide to reflect this. So if you want to root, you're going to have to use pc odin and flash one if the safe kernels in .tar format like notecore, speedmod, etc. Then use triangle away to reset binary counter.

Thanks, i checked again and he must have updated it just after i started trying lol.
Now i have a new problem, im on a mac.
Ive searched for solutions and found heimdall, but somehow it doenst recognize any of the files or i just dont know how to use it...
Btw whats up with these annoying captcha codes on every post?
Cant read half of em :')
Not sure I can help you there. I use a windows x64 machine. Typically though you have to install Samsung Kies or Samsung usb drivers first before pc odin will recognize the phone in download mode. So maybe try installing usb drivers first?

Hmm, i had Kies installed before Heimdall
Guess this means a drive to my parents to hijack one of their windows machines lol.
Thanks for your help!
Glad to help. Good luck.

Can't you run a VM?
Also search in XDA as there are instructions on using Heimdall as well as MAC & Linux Specifics...
Or, as you say, Steal one of your folks machines
Good luck...
Hello everyone, I hope this is in the correct section but if it's not I apologize.
I recently bought a new phone, and it finally arrived. The phone I have is the Samsung Galaxy S3, the model number according to my settings is GT-i9305T. Ofcourse, I want to root it and flash a custom ROM so it'll run as well as it possibly can, however when I try to use CF Autoroot with Odin I get the error described in the title of this thread.
I have tried using a different USB port on this computer, and I've had no luck. The phone is recognized by Kies, and the drivers were all installed through it.
Now, does anyone have any suggestions? I've been trying to do it with Odin 1.85 and "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3dv-gti9305t", which appears to be everyone's go-to method for rooting this phone. I really have no idea what else I could try.
Uninstall Samsung Kies. Reboot and try again.
