WRONG!
Did you install the Superuser app that comes with androot?
If not install it separately and it should fix your problems!
Or install it from androot by changing the options before clicking the root button.

Rooting my O2 2.2 updated streak

Hi all,
I updated my streak yesterday to 2.2. The process went very smoothly. I have tried universal androot and superuser to root since then...but neither work.
I want to install the new market apk but understand I need to root before it will install (parsing problem).
Any help on rooting other than those two apps??
Thanks!!

Super One Click is your baby -- at least, it worked for me on build 12821 (got fed up waiting for O2).

I'm having the same problem. Can't root anymore with any tool like Z4root 1.3 or andro root. I need to root to install larger fonts
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

can confirm tht super one click works for the o2 rom....universal and z4 dont...

Oneclick is superuser...tried that..no joy
Just read that I should have unrooted before updating to 2.2?? Can anyone confirm this is the case? Is this user-error? :$
Any more suggestions as to what can be done if that is the problem??
Thanks for all help!!

[APP]SuperOneClick v1.5.5 worked for me too, but all the others didnt work.
How do you install larger fonts?

Using one app called Font Size which you buy from the market. But the Streak must ne rooted

Might help others but I just sent myself the APK file googlemail and installed directly.

I can confirm that superoneclick 1.5 works on 2.2 to unlock once you understand how to use it!

Won't work; I've tried a while back.
It'll just freeze at the "Acquiring Root" part.
So no, you cannot use z4root to root, unfortunately. However, there are various topics on how to do one-click roots on your phone, with all types of computers - Windows, Linux, or even Mac.

Yes, when using the one click roots, you get a lot of options.
One being rooting the phone w/ cwm redirector.
And another that gives you the option to unroot the phone.
So basically, use the same method to unroot it as you do to root it, although choosing the correct option.
Simple as that

What's the best way to root my device?

My device was recently updated to 2.2 froyo using the qdl tool... I now would like to root it, but have no idea on how to. Can someone please point me in the direction on which would be the best way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

What are you planning next? Which baseband are you on now? The version that the qdltool installs is 305 and you should upgrade to 318 if you are staying stock. If you are staying stock get to the version you want then root with SuperOneClick. There are a lot of threads about that.
If you plan on using one of the Streakdroid roms than go to streakdroid.com and read the guides there. If you install one of these it's pre-rooted.

I found z4root to be an easy rooting process for me.

First, thanks so much for the immediate response.
My baseband is 318. I tried oneclick and kept getting the error / failed message.
I do plan to stay stock for a while, but would like to try an unofficial rom sometime in the near future because I have two streaks.

Search the web for z4root app 1.3.0

I've tried superoneclick (all versions)... and z4root, and none of them worked for me at all. )0: Guess I'm stuck with an unrooted device huh?

I had to remove my sd card to get SOC to work with my phone. (baseband 318)

I've tried tht as well, and still no joy. I also have baseband 318.

I was able to have success with superoneclick ver. 1.5.5
Make sure you run the application as admin and usb debugging is checked.
Before you connect to your computer turn off, take battery out, restart.
Start superoneclick as admin, THEN connect to pc.
Goodluck. That is how it worked for me.

Ok, so after I eject the battery and replace it again, do I turn the phone back on at this point, or does it to remain off thru out the process?

Hahah thats what I was asking myself after I rooted my phone lol

Very confused lol. I noticed after updated to the official 2.2 (baseband 318), the network icon at the top now display an "H" instead of 3G... Is this ok, or did I lose my 3G?

The Streaks locked to AT&T never showed when they were connected by HSPA. Unlocked Streaks and the ones running Steve's ROMs do. HSPA is a faster than standard 3G so when you see the H it's a good thing.

Nice! Thanks Marvin!

Does anyone know how to enable emlist or terminal on the streak after it has been rooted? I rooted my streak on 1.6 before using QDl to update it to 2.2 and those apps were automatically enabled. Now that I have rooted it again wjile on 2.2 I don't see terminal or emlist (well emlist is visible but I can't mess around with it)

can you root 2.2.2?

i have a 2.2.2 aria and i was wondering if theres any way of downgrading it or rooting it?

There are many threads on this question. Please use the search feature. And no you can not root 2.2.2
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

That's not true, you can root 2.2.2... but as said earlier, use the search button.

You can but a xtc Clip is required, because alparevx haven't released a exploit for the new h-boot

You can't root with Unrevoked. You can root with XTC Clip or, once released, AlphaRevX.
