No rooting for 2.1, so I thought.

EDIT: See HERE

yeah, i mentioned that none of the rooting methods work, nor does the flashing tool work, but i guess no one listened to me :\

I thought the SuperOneClick might have worked but it just hangs.

unknown13x you tried to downgrade from 2.1 to some 1.6 firmware using x10flash and it didn't work?

Bollocks, I was banking on root still working so I could restore my apps using titanium...CRAP. Yeah ive just tried x10 root + UniversalAndroot, both fail.

Edit: Wrong topic...

Just rooted x10 with 2.1 android with SuperOneClick:

Just follow his link

Why thank you, I was born in the 18th century, so I didnt understand that.
Ofcourse there is no way a simple savage such as myself could ever have tried that method already.
What I meant was, HOW did he get it to work.

i take liberty of closing the thread since the root is confirmed!!

[Q] Wi-Fi tether not working after Froyo update. Epic 4g.

Hi guys, it's my first time here, sorry if I'm repeating the same question that others had b4, but I can't seen to find the answer. My wireless_tether_***.apk was working fine b4 I updated to Froyo. What can I do to get it going again?
Thank you.

Go back to 2.1?

I believe you need to be rooted in order for this to work. If you are on just froyo, I dont think it will work.

I have rooted it for a while now. Going back to 2.1? Really?

This happened to me as well. After searching the answer was to go to an older version of wifi tether.
What worked for me was the pre11 apk in the link below.

Pre14 didn't work for me had to get 15

Pre15 works fine with froyo. Maybe you could try getting the latest version and installing it. I know this seems like a crazy idea, but how about you give it a go anyhow.

I've tried many different versions, including the most recent one, & no luck, I think that it could be some of my settings. Any ideas?

One thing I just remember, when on 2.1 it asked me for the superuser permission, now it hasn't. Could that be it? How do I give the permission without asking for it?

Isn't it possible that I lost my root?

Kernel?
When I attempt to tether I'm getting that my kernel doesn't support it. How should I proceed?

make sure the version of wifi-tether you use supports your device.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The above link shows the download and corresponding version that you should use for Epic. I used the lastest version pre15, and it works fine on my 2.2.1 froyo DK28 firmware.
I don't know which firmware are you using, but the pre15 should support the latest froyo

I'm using PRE13 and its working fine for me, used it a couple of times already.. here you go hope this link works.

That's my guess but not sure. one way to check if you lost your root is:
On your phone,
1. go to market, download and install Terminal Emulator
2. run Terminal, then at the prompt line, type "su" (don't include quotation marks) and then hit enter on keyboard
3. if the system says "su not found", that means you lost your root
This may be my stupid way to verify my rooting status. Other experienced users may have better way to do it

after update to froyo, it may unroot your phone. who knows, better check it first

[Q] Trying to get temp root

Just got a new MyTouch 4G:
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense version 2.1
Software number 2.19.531.1
Wanted to get temp root so I followed instructions from:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier
Set the USB Debugging to ON
Set the Fastboot to OFF
Installed "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk".
Temp Root After Reboot is ON
System R/W After Root is ON
Then I clicked TempRoot Now
Visionaryplus is rooting device, please wait ...
I have waited for more than 10 minutes.
Nothing happened.
What should I do?

First downgrade to the pre-OTA MT4G build, which is Android 2.2.1. Then you'll be able to use Visionary to temp-root. Sounds like you need to do a little searching/reading. This has been covered over and over.

Yeah. Also VISIONary will only work for good-chip phones (or bad, may be mixed up), but gfree works with whatever you have. To root the mytouch, YOU MUST BE ON FROYO

Hey fellows..Does anyone have a link to the PD15IMG.zip file? Its dead in the link in the tutorial to downgrade to 2.2.1 and I can't find another one. Trying to downgrade my buddies on 2.3.4 with 89.0005. Thanks

[Q] Can I root after ICS

I removed root and went back to stock a couple of weeks ago getting ready for the ICS update. I have not reset my device and updated to ICS. Can I now root using the same method I used before. I used the Brk root toolkit and it worked great for rooting and unrooting.
If I cannot use that is there something new I should use?
Thanks
Brandon

Vipremod works like a champ

Vipermod roots ICS just fine using option 1.

It must be early here or my brain is just not working. I have found a few posts on vipermod but I cannot seam to find the one with a link to it or how to use it. Can someone provide a link to the correct starting post?
Thanks again
