Superoneclick should be work. Check your usb driver for the streak. Install also pc companion this should install the proper usb driver.

Hey guys.
First of all, I am totally newb in rooting mobile devices. So maybe i've done something wrong.
Well... Yesterday i went to my sisters and her boyfriends house. He started messing around with my girlfriends HTC Wildfire, and he got it rooted in, practically, no time.
Then he started messing around with my X10. But we ran into some troubles.
He downloaded z4root and moved it to my SD card. Then he tried running it, just like he did on the wildfire, my sisters X10mini and his own Desire. We waited a little time and then z4root closed, and nothing more happend. We rebooted the phone and tried again. Same thing. Ok. We didn't go further there. Ofc he checked debugging and stay awake.
When we got home, i started looking for some guides myself, and i found a guide on xperiax10.net (can't link due to safety restrictions on this forum) But i needed to connect the phone to my pc, and download a exploid file. Then the rest happens in command promt from windows7.
It all went fine until i reached the step where I should text in "rootshell". Then i got the message: "Rootshell: Permission denied"...
Okay. I tried searching on for some other guides and programs. Then i got here. And now i have tried, if not all, then most of the guides here. Nothing in SuperOneClick works (tried 4 or 5 different versions), followed all the troubleshooting included in the guides (uncheck and check debugging and so on) and absolutely nothing seems to work
My x10 is running Android 2.1-update1, version 2.1.A.0.435
The phone is still running, but i can't figure out, why I can't root it. Want to get rid of all the pre installed apps and tweak it more.
Have i missed something, or is my phone just ****ed?
Any help is much appreciated. I'm lost here, and feels like i have tried anything.

Hey, I actually went into the same problem. and from what i've read. other users running the same firmware has run into this problem. So my guess is that with z4root, your x10 is currently 'unrootable', try using that superoneclick one. Someone claims he got .435 rooted

So basically... If i downgrade the firmware, I should be able to root it?
And regarding the superoneclick. I've tried 4 or 5 different versions. And i CAN'T get it running. So unless i'm doing something wrong, i doubt that he has rooted it?
Try the latest flash tool (0.2.6). It worked for me. Im running .435. I hope this help. Cheers.

Have you tried a different USB port? Sounds like your computer doesn't detect that you connect the phone?
Ive searched the forums for hours trying to find a way to root my Dell Streak, but nothing works. Ive tried
Universal Androot
Both the "App" roots, only the temp root works
SuperOneClick actually bricked my streak and it took 4 four hours to reflash it.
Any help would be great thanks!
Edit : Also I just upgraded to build 12821 since everyone was saying that version is more stable. My baseband is 318.
It's superone click, there's a link from marvin02 in pocketables forum giving tips and trick on using SOC effectively. For me, what I did was disable anti virus, closed all other application and then it worked! Took me almost 30 tries believe me but did not give up till I got it. 1.5.4 worked for me, give it another shot.

JordyGrant1,
If you are going to one of DJ Steve's builds you don't need to root. Just follow this guide on streakdroid.com. Ignore the stuff about amss.mbn as you don't need it. Steve's ROMs are already rooted.
Tips for using SuperOneClick - I just gathered up some of the suggestions I have seen in various forums.
So really...I dont need to root if im going to his Roms... awesome. I thought i needed to root to use a custom rom. Awesome. Thanks guys!
So I just got my replacement G2 from T-mo and it's brand new so it's running 2.3.3 and I need to root it. I tried using visionary to temp root so I could run gfree to perm root but the phone freezes every time I try to temproot. Can anyone give me any tips or teach me how to use adb on a mac.

that would be how you use adb on a mac....
but i dont think there is a rooting method for 2.3 yet
crap, I really need to get root back on my phone too. I did a backup using rom manager and i would really like to restore my everything.
Please search before posting new threads. Most questions you have can most likely be answered in one of the stickies.
thanks for the non help. I did search and they isn't anything in the stickies about rooting the g2 with gb on it, but hey thanks for helping your fellow enthusiast

Wait, how is it that you lost root, and yet you were using ROM Manager? Can't you just boot into recovery and flash a rooted ROM?
I didn't lose root, I had another g2 and it crapped out on me but I made a backup of the rom and want to restore it on my new g2 but I'm having trouble figuring out how to root it with 2.3.3. I tried to use adb but every time I try to run the android sdk i get an error
I thought GB wasnt available on the G2 yet??? I got my G2 last week and it's running 2.2...

No need to be a ****... GB isn't even available OTA to users, so theres a very small chance that there's a root method for something that hasn't come out yet...
btw ADB on Mac is pretty easy to set up. but as far as rooting 2.2 goes, you didn't need ADB to do it, which saves you the hassle of setting up the SDK and using Terminal if you're not feeling confident with it. I'm sure once they figure out rooting 2.3, the same will probably be true soon enough.

Some people are getting refurb/repair units back with 2.3, because 2.3 is close to coming in OTA format for the G2 from most reports.
I'm aware that most people don't have gb yet, that's why I figured I would ask for help as opposed to just searching the forums, I had my 2.2 g2 rooted no prob and once i found a decent tutorial then yeah I did realize that adb is supposed to be easy on mac. I'm having an issue with getting the sdk running, I can navigate to the folder in Terminal but when I try to run "android" i get a ton of errors

Hi !
The new T-Mobile 2.3.3 stock gingerbread rom is not rootable at the moment.
We currently do not have a temp-root method for it. The old methods (rage, psneuter and also gingerbreak) do not work as the exploits they where using have been patched.
At the moment you have to wait for someone to disclose a new gingerbread exploit.
Have fun - Guhl
thanks, hopefully something will come along soon because being on a stock rom is killing me

If you expect to get any respect or help through these forums you would be wise to hold your tongue and not dismiss the help you do receive.
I don't think 2.2.1 was even rooted so I doubt 2.3.3 would be. Cant you downgrade?
why dont you sell your phone on ebay.. and buy a g2 or desire z with 2.2 or thats already rooted?? you wont have to wait then
This guide was the best thing that ever happened to me when I was setting up ADB on my Mac.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685
Now all I have to do is plug my phone in and enter whatever adb commands I want. No changing directories and all that. It was very helpful.
Your first step should be to buy a PC.
