Has anybody sucessfuly rooted a Apollo updated to froyo using z4 application downloaded to the phone itself because I did root it with an app when it had eclair but now I can't since I flashed it with froyo. I don't have a PC anymore so I need to use an app. Any ideas will be appreciated.
sent from samsung gt-i5800 froyo
All of the guides in this forum says that z4 doesnt work for froyo and theres not android app for galaxy 3 froyo, you need to use super one click, an app for windows
Yes, use the super one click metod.
Sucessfully rooted with oneclick. Thankyou

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

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.

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

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

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
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

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.
/Kenneth
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.

when i got my phone (MT4G) is was on 2.3.4
recently ..i've downgraded to 2.2.1, rooted and installed CM7
after about an hour i decided to go back to stock so using a stock froyo PD15IMG.zip (via power+volume-down) i restored my phone back to froyo 2.2.1 (unrooted)
unlike in the 2.3.4 version... there is no software update button
can someone help me figure out how to update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 (or higher)
i only rooted for learning purposes (i'm experienced in hacking other things...this is my 1st android) but now that im unrooted, i want to go back to the way my phone was when i got it (2.3.4 unrooted)
any help will be great
thanks in advanced

0.o ...how might i have done this w/o rooting? (for learning purposes)
i might root again for more EXP w/ it, but not now... i dont like losing my apps and personal settings lol
In exactly the same way as you did.
Rooting doesn't affect bootloader whatsoever, unless you flash the engineering one. And any of them will accept the stock PD15IMG.ZIP.
Update that seems to have killed the phone??
I am unfamiliar with the HTC root process and most of it's devices, but I have a friend that got her phone updated and it is now freezing, not sending or receiving messages, and rebooting randomly. She got it done at a store as her phone is no longer under contract and she is using it pre pay. Any help in getting her phone updated properly would be very much appreciated.
I'm used to Samsung, so I know that the root process may take a bit for me to get used to. Thanks in advance for any help. It is very much appreciated.

Get the official update from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384438#
Place file named PD15IMG.ZIP on root of sd card. Make sure it is named exactly that, including all caps. Reboot into bootloader. It will detect the file and ask if you want to update. Click yes and cross your fingers. Should work fine, but there is always a risk when flashing anything. Good luck.
