[Q] cant root with z4root - Droid 2 General

i tried today to root my droid 2 with z4root app and its stoke on running exploit in order to obtain root access. its the first time im trying to root my phone and im new with android.
thank you

I'm not familar with ZRoot but see if putting your phone in debugging helps maybe.

I had the same issue. Reboot you phone and then make that the first thing you run when it comes back up. It should speed through it. It's not the perfect solution, but it works.

I'm not really familiar with this either, but I've read some of the comments in the market, try doing it several times, it seems to work after a couple tries or so. If it just seems to not be working, try using DoRoot, it's pretty simple and easy to do. You can find it in the Droid 2 Development.

My GF & I both have Droid 2 phones & I used z4root on both. Worked flawlessly on each. I put the phone in debug & then ran z4root. Totally new at this myself so not sure what else will help.

It's supposed to reboot.
Does anyone know if you need to go into adb and execute those commands each time adfree updates?

I set it up initially as was directed in the thread and it blocked ads for a few minutes but then lo and behold ads started to pop up. I opened up adfree and updated again and haven't seen an ad since. I did not have to do anything besides updating directly on the app. It didn't even reboot this time either.
Thank you, adfree!

No offense, my friend, but spamming the forums everywhere with the same info in all caps is just a bit obnoxious. I mean, do what you want, but expect people to be annoyed.
read my post on RyanZA fix in batch file. tried V1 and V2.3, both have bugs.
This fix was stable for me, but there is a catch too. the limit for app data storage is 130mb, will you ever go over, i dont know. i didnt yet.

I tried RyanZA's 2-3 batch file fix and I'm not having any problems...to which bugs are you referring?
The bug I’m aware of happens with apps that store data (such as texture) on the sd card outside of the new partition. Some games such as Asphalt 5, Homerun Battle 3d, heavy Gunner, maps... This is a problem with all the lags fixes. If you don't use those apps or apps like that it probably won't affect you.
For instance the load times for Homerun Battle were three times longer on start up, if it started up. I had several times where my phone just shut off. If it eventfully did start it would run fine. Chainfire talks about the bug in his thread found here.

Played around with maps, gps on/off, zillow app., switching back and forth and phone froze on Alpha 1 as well as 2.3. Also this is a know issue and I got it too, on 2.3 I was not able to change fonts. And I hate default font
When i use RyanZA lagfix it works but when i reboot the phone everything gets screwed up anyone have this problem itll take ages to boot up and when it does alot of force closes and widgets outta place etc
Use chainfire. I believe it may be the safest, easily the most automatic one.

Z4 Root not working on latest software

I wanna root my Droid x but this software doesn't seem to work anymore, can anyone help me ...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
More info, whats it doing, what software.
I tried using Z4root with 2.2.1 it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Funny, I bought two brand new droid x's last week, both on the newest software and it worked just fine... on both of them.
I also am on 2.2.1 and I have rooted using z4root 1.3.0... Did you do a temporary root or permanent?
I was actually about to start a new thread about this same thing. My friend just got a new droid x this week. I downloaded z4root for him, debugging was on, and did permanent root. It sat there for a long time, got hot, but did nothing. I got my droid x when it first came out, did the latest ota updated and rooted this same way no problem. Any ideas?

I had that happen the first time I tried the app...but then the phone rebooted and I tried again, and it worked without any issues. Maybe try uninstalling and then pulling a different version off the web. Here is the one I use (see attachment)
I did a permanent Root. Tried it several times. Now I used it before but when I had to go to Verizon I didn't want them to see so I took it off & was never able to do it again.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Had the same problem if it gets stuck at rebooting for more than 3 min. Pull the battery out and boot the phone back up. If you don't have superuser app then try it again. Works every time I have done it. 340 software just got my x last week.

Depends on what you are looking to do. My first recommendation is download and install koush's bootstrap recovery. Then use that to make a backup of your stock state before doing anything

Worked for me. Installed via gmail. Powered down and pulled battery and rebooted right before I installed it. Took less than 2 minutes. My phone was bought in Jan 2011.
Okay so with my phone rooted now I should unroot and do this? I didn't see this till now....

Try going into Settings--> Display--> Screen timeout. Change the setting to something long... like 30 minutes or never if you have the option.
Then reboot the phone. Try uninstalling z4root. Install the version that I have attached and trying rooting again. Make sure that the screen doesn't go out. I don't think this should have any effect, but I remember the first time i used z4root I let the screen go black, and it didn't work for me. Not sure if the process stays alive it the screen goes black for power saving.
Also go into Settings--> Application--> Make sure the "unknown sources" box is checked. Then press on "Development" and make sure that "USB Debugging" has its box checked as well.
Now try and run z4root. Make sure the screen stays awake and watch it run. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes ideally.
When you download z4root and instal you need to restart your phone then root or else you will just sit there and nothing happens but says its rooting
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Run z4root with the phone in airplane mode. Works in half the time for some reason. Also worked on a friends phone where z4root wouldn't work otherwise.
same issue
I just rooted for the first time last weekend currently running liberty 1.5 (save the applause) anyways it took me a bunch of tries and battery pulls for z4 to finally work keep at it it will work eventually

Why so many apps missing?!

OK, so after the Gingerbread update a TON of stuff I purchased in the market is no longer available.
Tweetcaster pro, FIFA, Abduction world attack, Paypal (official), The Sims..... What gives? I've never stolen software for Android, and I don't want to. I want my apps back! Ideas?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Use this apk to fix your market. Reboot. Should solve your problems.
Didn't work. :L Man, this is SUPER annoying.
You sure you did it right? I had the same exact problem with my apps...a lot of people have. That's the fix. Before I applied it, my Slingplayer wasn't showing up in the market...30 freaking dollar app..now it is.
I downloaded the .apk, installed, then rebooted. Nothing. Are you on Gingerbread?
Could someone running GB tell me if they can find tweetcaster pro or FIFA in the market?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
You need to run the app though lol. After you install, open your app drawer and run Market Fixer. Click Fix, THEN reboot. Yes, I'm on Gingerbread.
[thread jack alert!] wondering why sims doesnt show up in my market? any suggestions?

So if were not rooted this won't fix the issue?
I've had this problem for weeks. On stock 2.2, rooted and the apk didn't help. Seriously annoying bug.

I don't believe it. I fell for the same thing. I just thought you installed it and it was suppose to fix. which it didn't. Been tryin to figure this out for two days. LOL. What an idiot me. Well at least I wasn't alone. hehehe

I was able to fix this, as I seemed to get a version update on my Market stealth (as it had the AdMob setting added to my Settings screen, where 2 days ago, it wasn't there). When that happened, all my apps returned.
Right before I found this, I did run the APK from above, but I used QuickReboot to reboot. Coincidence?
Now to get the 55 updates I missed over the past month...
I'm not rooted. That was the issue. I don't want to root either. EA Games took care of me. Now to email handmark.... :L

May I ask you why you don't want to root?
I know it's a dumb question, but have you checked the market website? I had a similar issue and was able to find and download the missing apps through the site.

You're welcome. It's good to know that there's at least one part of the market we can rely on.

The Atrix has it and I tried it. It just disconnected me from MotoBlur. Contacts was still usable, Gallery won't connect to social networks, and Music won't work at all. For some reason, I wiped and tried it again and it didn't work. Not really useful though since you can achieve the same thing by freezing services in Titanium Backup.
