if you want to flash after that a new rom(like gingerbread/nfinity0.8) than i would recommend you cockworkmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854152
use the new version with 3.0.0.5

root application vs adb root
universal root / 1 click / z4 root application will not full root your phone they gives only super user app & support some application which required Su permissions
For full root need adb rooting follow this link

[Q] S-OFF after using Visionary r14

Could someone explain to me or point me to a thread that explains how to get S-OFF after permarooting with the r14 visionary + build?
I just used the s-off guide in the android development section and it worked perfect.
Go on youtube and search for "visionary g2", there is a guy on their called blackprice that has a step by step video on how to perm root and s-off the phone.
Good Luck.
Thanks, but I need someone to explain to me how to use adb with a mac. Every guide out seems to be for windows

In the video, black prince actually shows how to do it on the phone itself with terminal emulator.
Awesome, thanks
So I have followed the instructions from blackprice and they seemed to work, I was able to do the S-OFF. However, when using SetCPU I get this message:
Root Access Not Detected
SetCPU could not obtain root
access. Did you allow SetCPU
through Superuser
Permissions? (the answer is yes) If you checked
Superuser Permissions and SetCPU still cannot get root,
there may be a permissions
issue with your ROM.
Please advise...
Thanks
Use visionary and attempt perm root. I had the same problem but this fixed it. Wait for someone else to confirm this though.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Also get rom manager from the market and falsh clockwork recovery.
Perm root and the reboot, and visionary should stick.
Thanks! Both of you.

If you google then you will come across some good guides to use ADB on mac
So to confirm with what you are stating, S-OFF but still not accessing root permissions. Re-apply perm root in Visionary, let it reboot, and it should stick. Correct?

[Q] Noobsauce I know, but im desperate

What rooting method did you use? Have you tried z4root from the adndroid market? It seems to be the best and simplest rooting method.

The best and easy way to root is the Z4root. Just install the app, run it, click on Permanent root and you are there after a reboot of the handset (automatic).
You can verify you are rooted successfully by looking for a app called "Superuser" with icon of a android skeleton kind of thing.
The next one is "super1clickroot" method which involves running a program in your PC and using it to root. Search for the above mentioned term and you can find the guide on how to do it.
Hope this helps.

What is your installed apps? Check the permission in your Superuser apps. All apps that need ROOT goes there.

[Q] Cannot install busybox, nand unlock required??

Dear Community,
I have been trying to root my Galaxy Tab for few days already (Yes, few days).
I followed all the instructions on the forum and used the z4root which I downloaded from the forum.
The device indicated "rooted" then I installed the Titanium Backup but an error saying "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again."
Therefore, I downloaded the BusyBox installer from the market and try to install the BusyBox. Now there is an error installing the BusyBox.......
It says "Your phone is rooted, BusyBox was not found!"
below that there is a detailed message in red saying "The application failed, either because your device is not nand unlocked or we were unable to remount. Please use logcat at this time, get it from the market, to send a log to StericDroid."
I have no clue what is wrong now and I cannot find anything about nand unlock for the Galaxy Tab. I needed to do a carrier unlock so bad....
Please help!
Here is my galaxy tab's information:
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJID
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 root sep-53 #1
Build number: FROYO.ZHJK1
Thank you very very much!

Do you have the "Superuser" application on your Tab? If so, try running it and check that Titanium is not disallowed.
If you don't have the app, chances are you are not rooted correctly - try SuperOneClickRoot.
If you do have Superuser, and Titanium is allowed, try clicking on "Problems" in Titanium and allow it to install its own version of BusyBox.

Dave

I have the "Superuser" appz installed but under the Apps, there is "No apps in list".
I also tried the Titanium "Problem?" solution before, it doesn't work. It downloaded the Busybox but indicated "installation failed, see web page for troubleshooting steps."
Should I "unroot" the device in z4root before I try the SuperOneClick Root?

It shouldn't make any difference.

I have had the same problem before. Install Busybox from inside of Titanium backup. Click on "Problems? " in the lower right hand corner of Titanium and allow it to install Busybox. Then you must select restart Titanium for the change to take effect. For some reason Titanium does not like the version of Busybox that is found in the market.
Edit: Sorry it looks like you have already tried that. I too recommend rooting again with SuperOneClick.

You could try to root manually if all automated methods fail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712
Thanks very much for all the replies!
I will give it a try tonite and post the result later~
Ah....
It doesn't work for me!
Tried the SuperOneClock method and also tried the manual root method.
Both not work for me.....
I am still concern about a "NAND unlock" is needed for my Tab.
I posted the log message from the SuperOneClick here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10373454&posted=1#post10373454
if you use z4 root method be sure you use the permanent root option not the temporary root. busybox,at least on my tab, would not install with only temp root access.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Yep, I used the "Permanent Root" not the "Temporary Root"
It is rooted by using z4root (that's what it said in the busybox installer) but cannot install Busybox.....
Checked the instructions for the z4root method, it mentioned:
With the absolutely beautiful ADB exploit, titled rageagainstthecage (ratc), absolutely ALL devices can be rooted. This is because it exploits ADB which all devices use. There is an issue though. Some devices have a NAND lock which does not allow you to write to the /system mount. Because of this, you can't copy su, sqlite or busybox to /system/bin.

The above highlighted sentences, probably is the problem which I cannot complete the BusyBox and su installation.....
Please.... does anyone know how to do an NAND unlock for the Galaxy Tab?
Greatly appreciated~

As far as I'm aware, there is no NAND lock on most Galaxy Tabs. That doesn't mean that yours doesn't have a NAND lock, as it may be something "new" that Samsung are rolling out, but it would appear that people having this issue are in a tiny minority. We need to ascertain if there is anything different about your device.

Thanks for your replied, Dave.
Any information I can provide to help ascertain my device's problem?
Since you've tried to root manually using RageAgainstTheCage, I suggest that a step by step description of everything you did, and the results would probably help.

[Q] UK Lg Optimus L3 E400 Rooting Problem

I have searched everywhere and I think this phone is unable to be rooted. I have discovered the UK version of this phone has a locked down bootloader that will not allow me to gain access any way I try. The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6, Build No. GRK39F, Kernel Version 2.6.38.6-perf+ and does not have a su.bin on the phone, nor will it allow me access to put one on it. I get permission denied when i try to remount the partition as r/w. When I try to unlock the bootloader, the phone does reboot but not into bootloader mode. This phone only has a hard reset. No other boot modes (just the factory reset). Chmod/chown will not allow me to change permissions. No matter which application I have tried, I am unable to flash anything to the device, since I can not gain root access. The adb root command gives me an error message as well "adbd cannot run as root in production builds." I know I may be a noob, but I have done a ton of research and have not found anything that will help me. Does anyone has any sort of information that will help me root this device? It would be greatly appreciated!

are you trying to just root or flash custom rom too ?
did you try SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip ?
did you try vroot ? in my signature (guide too)
if you install root browser it will install basic commands on your phone busybox sqlite etc
also check this out it might be your firmware does not support root and you might need to install v10b or v10c kdz

Yes, I have tried every app. The apps I use are pretty much irrelevant though, since there isn't a su binary to request permission from. without the su binary, no app can gain root access.

superoneclick does not work as it requests permission from the su binary, which does not exist. root browser does not work either, as it does not allow me to change permissions or ownership either. chmod and chown in linux don't work either. I get "permission denied" when attempting those commands. I an currently running on v10c, but I can not flash anything, including firmware, to this device either. There's no way to downgrade or upgrade. I get a parameter error when attempting to and then the kdz updater crashes and forces itself closed every time I have tried.
My phone model is LG Optimus L3 E400. I could fix this by change the default.prop file ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0, but I can't write to that file. It's read-only and I can't figure out a way to change that.
I'm really about to just throw this phone out. I had no clue that some phones can not be rooted and would have no further research before buying this one.

also try this super one click 1.7 and select exploit RAGEAGAINSTCAGE in right top corner (it has proven to root problematic e400's)
please update us on your progress
and worst case scenario we will get you to another version of stock and root then

I've done it. I used the newest version of Kingroot from the Google Playstore (ver 4.8 at the time of this writing) If I recall correctly I *think* Kingroot may have shown an issue getting root access. However, after rebooting the device the rooting process did work. I was able to verify it by using root checker (basic version). After I had root I replaced Kingroot with SuperSU and once again verified using root checker. Still rooted... Be careful to take one step at a time. If you can reply with specifics and what order you did them in I might be able to help.
