Z4root on Bell JK4, Froyo 2.2

Hey everyone,
I flashed my SGS i9000m to 2.2 JK4 through using Kie last night. When I tried to use z4root to root the phone temporarily, the application crashed (no damage to the phone, since i can factory reset and wipe). However, from my understanding this app will work on 99% of the phone. So I'm curious and see if any other Bell who upgrade to JK4 have similar problem.
oh, another problem. I dont know why my clock on my SMS is screwed up. Like if you sent me a sms right now, the phone would display it was sent 6 hours ago. anyone know how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance everyone.

It has been said that z4root is not working on the jk4 firmware. RyanZA should be made aware of this.
As for your issue with texts and the timestamp... Are you using Bell or are you unlocked on a different provider?
If your not on Bell you need to install an app from the market that will fix this for you but im not sure what its called...

Thanks yiannisthegreek,
Yea. now i am pretty sure Z4root doesn't work on Jk4. So, so for those who wants to root their phone by Z4root, just wait until RyanZA comes out with a newer update.
and yea, im using FIDO at the moment. Anyone know what is the app for fixing timestamp called ?

sms time fix

z4root isn't working but I was wondering if installing busybox through titanium backup app would unroot the phone. I was able to restore my applications through titanium backup after installing busybox and restoring app does require a root so.... does it count as an unroot?

I'm with bell and z4root with 2.2 JK4 does not work for me either. Crashes after second screen and leaves device in unstable state. However, just rebooting phone is enough. (no factory reset needed).

z4root, JK4
Same here, Bell Vibrant, z4root does not work with JK4 (reboot and phone is OK).

This worked for me:

+1 for this suggestion. SuperOneClick works well to root JK4.

Very unlikely.... It is no worse than installing some applications, mostly command-line tools (su, busybox).

This method was so quick and easy. Thanks for the suggestion guys/gals.

Rooting SHW-M180S 2.2

I live in South Korea and had my Tab rooted with the Z4 root app, but after the December update a couple weeks ago, I lost root. I tried the Z4 app again, and it gets to aquiring root shell, then closes. I also tried the other app mentioned somewhere called super easy one click, or something like that. It also didn't work.
Do I just have to wait for a new root update to come out? I am a noob and don'teven know about JMB or JMU and all that. I am just looking for an easy way to root.
Model number
SHW-M180S
Firmware Version
2.2
Baseband version
M180S DL07 0151 ST
Kernel version
2.6.32.9
root SEP-41 #1
Build number
FROYO DL08
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, you can use SuperOneClick v1.5.5 to root your device
by the way , Do you have the original ROM for SHW-M180S ?

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I don't have the original Rom. I am not even 100% sure what that means. Is that the stock software and firmware that came with my tab when I first turned it on?
I have been trying to find the original rom for days, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Do you have a link for it? If I install it, will that bring me back to 2.2? I am ready to give up 2.2.1 just so I can get my root back.
Thanks again for helping a noob!!

Hi to all,
I am also living in South Korea in Jinju. I have just bought my galaxy tab last week. I have downloaded some games but I could not make them full screen than I found that by using spare parts, it is possible to make the applications and games full screen. However, spare parts app which I downloaded from market did not work properly in my tab.
My first question, why spare parts do not work in my tab???
Secondly, I had the same error while rooting with z4root. Could you please give more detailed information how did you succeed to root your device?
Regards,
Cagri

Dear U.cagri dogan,
Eventhough spareparts makes some applications or games scale to full screen, most of these scaled games have compatibility issues with touch controls. According to me, spare parts is mostly useless for the games but maybe a few games are compatible like PSX4DROID.
For native full screen games list for TAB, please refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897901
I use SuperOneClickV55 to ROOT my TAB. Follow the instructions below to root with SuperOneClick.
1- Go to Phone Settings-Applications-Development and CHECK " USB Debugging "
2- Connect USB cable both Phone and PC and wait till PC installs some drives.
3- Run SuperOneClick
4- Click to Root Button and done after a few automatic process.
5- Unplug USB Cable and reboot device. ( optional )
6- Go to Phone Settings-Applications-Development and UNCHECK " USB Debugging "
7- Download BusyBox from market
8- Run busybox and give permission when SuperUser asks for it.
9- In Busy Box, Choose version 1.7.0.1 and install.
10- Your device is full rooted now.
Hope this helps...
Kind Regards,

[Q] How to root GT-I9000 with

Hello everyone.
I am pretty sure I am the 100th one to ask this, but after seeking on the forum for a long time and tried everything I swear, I wasn't able to root my Galaxy S GT-I9000.
As I said it is a GT-I9000 (I9000BUJP5?) with firmware 2.2, Compilation FROYO.BUJP2
My intention is to patch the phone and quit that lag issue to gain a little speed, so it needs to be rooted first.
Everytime I tried to do whatever is shown in this forum or in any simmilar or internet tutorial I get the 'E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.'
Somebody to show me the way?

Have you tried z4root?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I find z4root easier to use but it doesn't with all firmwares. Try superoneclick.

Z4root did it. Thank you very much fine gentlemen. It seems they do have updated the Z4root and works perfectly on my version.
Again thanks.

If you downloaded root but it didnt actually root your phone, this may be your prob

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
