hello guys.
i justed rooted my phone and havent installed any custom rom. in fact i havent installed anything since then.
i tried to unroot it. phone rebooted and it still shows superuser. does this mean my phone is unrooted?
if not please someone help me because i dont want to lose warranty as the phone is new
Not development related moved to general
Which method did u use to root ur phone?. There is a z4root app which can be used to root or unroot the phone. Hav seen good comments abt this app.
P. S i have not tried this app. Pls use on ur own risk.

It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.
worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

Really Works? The Rooted Apps too?
Does this really work and do the rooted apps function? Why does this work and the bootloader has not been cracked? Cunfused....
And now there's this too.
I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA
sorry for being such a noob thanks for your help

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later
universal androot
Im using universal androot and have my phone rooted, which i believe is the same thing as 1click root will i still get the ota in September with root on, I hope i have not posted in a inappropriate place I just was curious.
Bro, were did you get this universal androot?

I tried universal androot v1.6.1 and it was a no go, seemed soon after installing toolkit it kicked me out. I did the update.zip so i'm up to 2.2 now. Gonna try the droidx root in the first post see if that does it.

theres no way to root a 2.2 device yet, u have to root in 2.1 first then move su around and then move it again once upgraded to 2.2

this is incorrect. you can root your 2.2 Droid X with this method: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/26/droid2-rooting-method-works-for-droidx-running-froyo/
worked like a charm on first go for me.
My speaker on the back of my droidx is blown i need to take it to verizon. How do i get rid of superuser permissions app in app drawer? I rooted with universal androot. I was told you have to remove it first then unroot. So i looked for it in app manager to delete it but its not there. I tried unrooting it still not there. Rooted it back still not there. Thanks for ur help.

Traded the DINC in for the DX and rooted in 2 minutes!!!!!! Kinda miss the DINC, well I miss HTC Sence
does this one click root work for the 2.2? and is there a chance that the fone will not root correctly and not work?
Hi i have a galaxy i9000 and rooted it a few months ago but would like to unroot it as i have to put it in for repair , i have 2,6,32,9 [email protected] no1 in my kernel version , can anyone tell me how i unroot the phone as i have searched the forums and cant find a simple answer.
cheers john
I think you can do it with oclf, just install from market. Or use z4root.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
cheers but i thought z4root only unroots eclair 2.1 but roots froyo ??
My problem was that I would download SuperOneClick and it would not give me actual root. The SuperUser icon was in my app drawer but if I tried to use any apps that required root access they wouldnt let me. When I opened Super Manager and clicked "Enable Root Access" a popup would come up and it would say something like "Your ROOT image will not work" or something like that.
The problem was this:
I found out that I had downloaded the most recent version of SuperOneClick. This version will not give root if you had the official 2.2. update. You needed to download the 1.5.5 version.
I hope this will help anyone who made the same mistake as me.
anybody? im freaking out since no one else has had this problem.
Try enable USB debugging
Settings > Applications > USB Debugging > Enable.
You should repost the OP with the solution in case someone else has the problem, if not people will search in vain.

Thanks alecjake, I am on ka6 and have heard there were issues with the latest SuperOneClick. Odd that an older version can root froyo but the newer version can't. Very helpful advice.

One thing you also want to do, is after using superoneclick is to reboot. That way root actually works.

I also have problems with rooting my andriod, I ran Titanium Backup but it required root access to work, so I downloaded z4root and universal root apk, it says that my phone is rooted but still Titanium Backup cant detect any root access.
Also my Link2sd App(app2sd alike) also requires root, I think I rooted my phone but still doesn't work. A noob like me really need your help guys.. thanks in advance..
BTW i am running 1.6 andriod firmware.
Easiest way I've found is to use AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I'm on my phone so I can't link it but just go to the development section and look for the post with the program name in the thread title. It's super easy to root with it. Just follow the included directions!

1.6? do you have a t959 vibrant? if you do, you need to get to stock 2.1 JFD, then you can follow these instructions:

or go with the AIO toolbox which is more user friendly
Hi, i am just wondering if i should flash my stock kernel and use root. I like to be able to play games including the tegra ones however If i do use root and use chainfire 3d will all the curent market apps i have still be available? last time i went to fix market settings and i lost some of them and had 2 manually download them off the internet.
Also, what are the cons of rooting?
I am worried about losing my carrier specific firmware..what does that actually do?
There aren't that many good reasons to root.
I only rooted mine to do the free sim unlock (also from chainfire). 6 months in and I'm still on the rooted stock rom and stock kernel.
On old android phones I had always rooted to use apps2sd, but that isn't an issue with the SGS2.
Perhaps the best reason to root is to get Android 4.0 before the OTA release. Looks like we should have a reasonable ICS ROM with most things working by Christmas. The OTA may be a few months away.
IMO a device should come pre-rooted or at least mentioned in the phone box that it should be rooted
Seriously.
Simple if you have to ask then the answer is NO.
You root when you need root .
It does nothing to the phone bar allow a deeper user level access .
When you require this level of access or you want to run an app that requires root then root .
Likewise if you want to install a custom rom via CWM you require root .
Root voids warranty and raises the custom rom counter so its your choice .

I was in the same boat, I couldn't decide whether to root our not.
I recommend doing your research, think allot if you actually need rooted apps. Then decide on a method of rooting.
Zergrush is the best method if you just want root access. Its the method I used, plus you can easily flash a new kernel using an app like Mobile Odin.
If you feel you don't NEED root don't do it. Messing on with a phone will void the warranty and possibly irreparably damage it.
Good luck

I believe forum's are a great place for asking questions, but an even better place for researching all you need to know. So is Google.
****, when I first started off with the S1 I had no idea about android. But through reading alone I learnt how to obtain download mode (mine didn't have it), spoof product code in kies, flash all sorts through Odin and cwm, as well as root and more.
I didn't care about root until I downloaded titanium backup which requires it. I therefore wanted root access.

what ever you do as soon as you root back up the /efs folder (immediately first thing you should do after rooting no matter what!)
i only rooted my phone because i wanted to use setCPU to save battery.
Since you would like to play Tegra games and the only way in S2 is root and use chainfire 3D. Just root it off and enjoy it
With superoneclick you have the option to unroot. Would Samsung know that it's been rooted and still void warranty?

Unrooting will unroot the device.. It can be done in every other methods also.. But your custom binary counter will increase.. Simply, yes it is possible to find that the device is rooted even after unrooting, unless you reset your binary counter..

Also , Sixaxis Controller app is so sweet if you own a PS3. You seem like the gaming type so you could get a PSX emulator, download your favorite ROMs and whack it off with your PS3 dualshock. Imagine playing Metal Gear Solid on your SGS2 ( looks better then on a real PSone actually
altough configuring the app is a pain in the a$$
PS. the amount of customization you can do when you root is immense!

Use [ROOT] SG2 Easy Rooting Toolkit from zergRUSH - This doesn't increase the custom counter... Very easy to do, unroot is simple also.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321538
The simple answer (my favourite type) is don't root.
If you require to run an app that requires root or you want to replace a system app or you just want to tweak the system, then you need to root.
Rooting is simple enough and so is it for getting it back to warranty condition.

Do this before changing roms etc.... It isn't a full on root with changing kernal and roms etc.. BUT you can use titanium and cachemate etc... I only rooted to restore backup from previous android devices
I don't think it voids warranty
Then if you want to change your rom etc you can do it later and change your kernal etc
Tbh though, i agree with an earlier comment, if you need to ask why, you probs dont need to root
