Anyway to root a fasicnate with android 2.1 without a PC
What OS are you using?
For Mac there's a nice simple write up over at Android Central
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/34188-rooting-using-mac-video-tutorial.html
You'll have to use Heimsdall to flash CWM though or get VMWare or something to use Odin...
If it's linux..some searches around XDA should give you a good start
Use an app called z4root. I can't find it on the market but it is on applanet
Haven't used it myself but my father did on his fascinate and apparently it worked famously

it works, it's how I rooted.
you should install titanium backup afterward if you want to get a good copy of busybox though.
Thread moved to General.
used z4root on my wifes fascinate without a hitch.

I would just quickly like to point out that although z4root will get you root without a pc, you are kinda stuck without having a pc. You won't be able to flash cwm or radios. so no new roms since you won't have cwm

Exactly. Cwm is flashed through odin. The OP doesn't have a pc. So there in lies a problem.
I thought he just wanted to do with out a pc. I must of misunderstood.

I could be the one mistaken. The OP hasn't actually stated they don't have a pc. So who knows lol

What do you mean wont download. Are you talking about the phone wont download the program or z4 isn't working?
Sounds like he wants to root via the phone only and not use any computer.
I don't think that is possible, sorry.
Yea wont download to the phone like my buddies Droid x but he has froyo and he rooted his without a PC my fascinate still has 2.1 so am I stuck without a PC or 2.2 update to get it rooted

If you have a microSD reader or know anyone who does, you can load files onto the card at least

I had a stock 2.1 Epic rooted with Z4. Manually upgraded to 2.21 effortlessly, all works well.
Tried rerooting with Z4 multiple times and it would not work. I removed Z4 from my Epic.
How can I reroot? The good news it Titanium is still freezing the apps I previously had frozen. However, I have no way to add freeze or unfreeze.
Thanks,
Todd
If z4root don't work just use the one click root with clock work. Its easy and straight forward

Try a different version. Or redownload it and try again.

Thanks I found the problem I had the old Odin version and then I used the update that had root and recovery built it worked fine after that. I was wondering if you knew of anywhere I could find a kernal that allows overclocking and or has a 600 mhz step in it?
If your going to flash a froyo rom, there are no kernels yet. If your going to start on a 2.1 rom then thee are a few god ones around like the phoenix kernel, the extreme kernel and numerous others that allow over clocking and under clocking. Check the epic development threads for the 2.1 roms and they have the links to kernels there.

Same here, Id rather have an instructional video instead. Because this one click root is not working. I'm wasting too much time already trying to root.
OneClickRoot with Superuser for EPIC w/Froyo
I have a link for a oneclickroot for the epic running froyo without getting a cannot or willnot or failed because of Read Only. Unfortunately because I am a newbie it says I have to post 8 posts before posting an outside link. I uploaded it to my personal website which I use to advertise dogs that I sell. If you want PM me and I will give you the link to grab it off of my site.

So is there a one click root app that works to root because z4root doesn't work after update

I'm unable to root as well. Been trying the alternate methods without success. Can't even get ADB to work.
verizon fascinate DL09 *UNROOTED AND CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ROOT*
I used this method a few minutes ago and it seemed to work:

EDIT: Scratch that, I tried installing a rom and it failed.
z4root does NOT work with DL09 nor does any one click that i know of... you must use the d2 method found here. I just rooted using this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779238

It seems to vary from person to person.
Some people have had success with z4, some have had success with 1-click...
i'm seeing that as well. thanks for the update!! i think a lot of people are going to have issues with this... if they just learned ADB they wouldnt have this problem!!
community is spoiling noobs with 1 clicks...
I used ADB to root my phone and install clockwork recovery not a single issue

it uses a diff directory structure, inststead of android-sdk\tools
its in android-sdk-platform\tool\platform
or something like that
but i cant get the root to take using any method yet
I was able to successfully root my device using the files from here, its a 1 click method too.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
If you can get into recovery, and mount system as r/w, you can root it...
Push the files necessary for root such as busybox, superuser, etc
Now how you do that?
I'm not sure.
I used the superoneclick root. Windows XP with 32bit Drivers and FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE POST.
This method worked for me
verizon fascinate DL09 *UNROOTED AND CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ROOT*
Possible reason for failure
I had similar issues when I tried to manually root my fascinate after the dl09 update, and was using the most current samsung usb drivers...i think 1.3.550.
I removed the drivers and used the older 1.3.450 and was successfully able to root.
To do without a one click app please give directions because I don't know how to root using other methods

and you should use perm root
If you're on 2.2/2.3.15 still, you might want to update to 2.2.1/2.3.340 before rooting. Go to settings/about phone and check Android system version and system version.

how to root a droid x 2.2
I have tried many rooting methods and I found Z4root 1.3.apk to be the fastest and easiest way to root. If and when you use this app it starts looping and doesn't finish you simply perform a battery pull and retry the permanent root using z4root 1.3 again and it will work the second time. You may need to try a third time but in rare cases.
sorry for the super late reply. Yeah I mean like a Rom.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled before starting the root process. Are you using gingerbread or froyo?

Why do people ask that? Once you root, you can have ANY version of stock rom. Or run less stock roms. It's all win.No, you shouldn't recieve OTA updates once you've flashed. But root users will have whatevers pushed OTA long beforehand. Plus you can over/underclock, screen capture, do backups, and run RealHDMI with root.

try installing clockwork manager; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960118
then use it to flash superuser; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
but before doing either do about one hour of reading on this forum and get familiar with everything thats out there this isn't something you should do without some research first.
Thanks. I know what I am doing in regards to rooting. Just wanted to know what program people were using to get root. Different builds sometimes prevent some programs from obtaining root, i.e z4root. What is the most reliable, easy way for the fascinate

I used that guide to root my phone
The only problem I ran into was the stock kernel was causing problems with clockwork recovery 'staying'
upgrading to the voodoo kernel solved this issue (you don't have to use voodoo IIRC, but it helps keep the recovery in place)
good luck!
For DL09, I always use one click root. Never had a problem with it.
Hey everybody I was wondering if it's possible to root a phone without connecting it to a usb port? My usb port is broken and can't be recognized by my computer . At the moment I'm in rooted 2.2 and want to upgrade to 2.3
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm wondering if its a typo.. Did you say you are rooted on 2.2?.. If so flash a rooted gingerbread rom and you should be good, plenty if options in the development thread
If you're already rooted why do you want to root again? Confused. If you want 2.3 just flash a 2.3 rom
We're comin from a pure power source.

If you are all ready rooted use a SD card reader and transfer the files to the card then put it back in the phone. Or just directly download to your phone. Just flash a rooted 2.3.3 rom. There are plenty to choose from. Do not flash stock 2.3.3 and then reroot. That is a waste of time and just plain dumb imho.

If you are already rooted, just flash a new rom. Otherwise, there are apks out there that supposedly root your phone, such as gingerbreak or Z4root. Whether or not they work on the Evo, I don't know. Do some research on those, and see what you can find.
Just make sure it explicitly says that it works on your phone!!!!! Never EVER act on a guess or a hunch. You may end up with a paperweight.

yeah. you said exactly what I was going to say. lol. but the USB port can be fixed. I'd say, just fix the port. :-D then again,. lol. I'm an electronic engineer... guess not everyone knows how to do stuff like putting it back together. lol. oh well. I personally stayed with the rooted stock. cause the only thing I do is use the wireless on business trips. I NEVER over use. just basic fb and email.
