Z4root was removed from the market. You have to find it here on forums or floating around on the web

Ok so I found it on google somewhere I installed. It ask if I want temp or permanent. After I pick one how long should it take. And do I need to install anything else
i forget if z4root wipes your phone, but i suggest doing a batch backup of all your apps and system data in titanium backup (on the market) and def get dxbootstrap to make nandroid backups if you plan on doing anything further with your phone in the future.
thanks i dont really know what that means
except for a backup file
nandroid is a complete backup. and when i say complete, i dont know another word that can describe how much i mean complete. it has every little detail down to your text messages.
titanium backup is an app that is just awesome. it can backup, freeze, and uninstall apps and system data/apps
Z4root doesn't wipe your phone... once it's done doing its thing and you're successfully rooted you won't even notice anything different (except for superuser in your app drawer) .... you'll know if you're rooted once an app that required root works...good luck!

Im sort of an intermediate noob....anyway HTC EVO rooted no prob, wifi tether etc. I just have a question about backing up apps. My understanding is that titanium backup, backs up your USER APPS and only backs up the DATA of SYSTEM APPS. Well I need to know what system apps I can uninstall?? I'm not sure what I'll need and is it possible, if I uninstall something, to reflash the custom froyo rom I'm running as of now??? Thanks guys.
i think what you really want to know is "What apps can i safely remove?"

You can use root explorer to remove system apps. Estrongs File Explorer works as well when you then on the root option.

You can also remove apps with Titanium. Chuck Norris mode FTW!!!
i use titanium to remove any straggler apps from system when playing with roms. I use a script to make them pretty bare bones first but there is often a stragler depending on the rom that i can remove. works great. but as others have said you can also use estrong, root explorer, and adb to do this as well.
So I want to backup all my apps before 2.1 update and dont want to use a root app that might not work strait off. Question is will app monster restore apps with market links so they will still recieve updates?
Thanks

I'm not sure about app monster but the latest versions of Titanium back up can force applications to link in the market.
You could always try that, but you'll have to wait for root.

app monster just sits in the background backing up the APK as its installed basically you end up with a folder called APPMONSTER full of APK files that you have downloaded or installed from SD card in their original uninstalled state not quite sure what your getting at regarding market links but they are as they were originally nothing gets changed from the original apk its backed up as a whole file if you mean does it appear in the market download section as when you download from the market then no! no app (at least what I have reinstalled/installed) from the SD using appmonsters cache on the sd card will/have appeared in the market downloads section
I use MyBackup Pro. I started using it before I debranded my phone and obviously lost everything in the process. I restored my backup and all the apps were linked to the market.
(also restores loads of other stuff, if u want it to, Contacts, Call Log, Bookmarks, SMS, MMS, System Settings, Android Home, Alarms, Dictionary, Calendar, Music Playlist)
It's $4.99 but theres a 30 day free trial, so if it's just for one job, may be worth giving it a go.
So, prividing that after the 2.1 update we won't be able to root
(at least immediately), if I use MyBackup, will the applications be automatically re-installed via Restore option?
I know that app data recovery is not possible without root, but will at least avoid the manual re-installation?
Has someone used MyBackup is a non rooted phone to confirm how is the restore actually working?
Ok here goes. I hope this is the right place or close to it. I have a Droid X with Android 2.2 on Verizon. I rooted using z4Root and then I made a complete backup with Titanium Backup of all apps and data. I haven't messed with any custom ROMs yet. I have just rooted and backed up. I saw today where there is a bad spot on the screen and I will probably get a new Droid X. With what I have done so far, can I just take the SD Card from my 1st X and restore the new one to just like the old one using Titanium Backup and restoring from it? Do I root the new phone first? How do I go about this? Thank you for your time.
Yeah just root and install titanium backup on your new phone then restore using the batch restore option and you should be good to go.

Thank you! I appreciate it.
No worries, I usually let google sync download all the apps off the market then just use titanium backup for the app data. The apps will start downloading right after you put in your google account info. It will take a bit if you have a bunch of apps, just open the market and go to my apps and you'll see them all downloading.

after I installed the rom, I can not do backup restore with titanium. my help
Hi,
I've rooted my Aria using Unrevoked and loaded FR008 ROM, however Titanium Backup keeps telling me that the phone is not yet rooted.
I wonder if anyone has similar experience with Titanium Backup.
Thanks.

I personally have not but what i'm wondering is...have you tried any other apps such as "my backup root" and received the same message?
oh, also, you can try going into the superuser app and see if anything regarding titanium backup is messed up in there (i.e. being denied root access)
Make sure you accidentally didn't disallow titanium root access in the superuser app.
If you previously allowed it, remove the entry and let it re-ask permission.

Thanks. My backup root works just fine. Will give Titanium another try later.

I have completed my root and the market works. I have been reading posts about twrp and the kindle utility. I was wondering if someone could explain what these are for and also the purpose of titanium back. Should i be installing any of these utilities if everything is working right now?
TWRP is used for flashing custom roms onto your kindle, which would turn it into a full-fledged android tablet.
Titanium Backup backs up your apps, settings, etc incase you ever need to reinstall a rom or the kindle OS so you don't have to redownload everything.
DEFINITELY use Titanium backup. I can't stress that enough.
While we're on this, any other root related apps recommended?

Root explorer is a must have.
