Hi.. have any of you tried this new firmware on samfirmware? But it has a different csc number on it.
http://hotfile.com/dl/114606097/800f179/I5800XWJPE.rar.html
whats the difference between other roms?
I've tried it. It isn't better than jpm
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
I am using it and the only one problem is the lag after close some apps while a 15 or 30 seconds.
I'm using this ROM. It's an official ROM for my area. Can not say that it is somewhow different from JPM. Has a later release date though, so hopefuly they have done some bug fixing. Runs well with FuguMod kernel 2.3 though (=
How to root I5800XWJPE?
The z4root will run for a minute, change to "acquiring root shell" then the app closes and will not re-open. I have rebooted about 10 times and have no clue. Yes, USB debugging is enabled.
And superoneclick says "update fail"
Whats next?
z4root and 2.2
Hi
I can't remember where, but i rread that z4root didn't work on 2.2 firmwares.
I had the same problem (im'on i5801bvjpe) and i had to use SuperOneClick to root my phone. It worked well thaht way.
Hoping that helped you
Tchuss
edit : like dharamg3 says in next post, it worked for me with 1.9.1 version.

I installed the new 2.2.320 sbf from TBH, just to start fresh. I have now tried 6 different programs to root my phone. None of them are working...Is anyone else having this issue? And if you got it working, what steps did you take to fix it? Thanks in advance
Use z4root. Had The same problem. This is a one click root application.
Yup, same problem here too. I was actually going to ask if anyone has the z4 root app because it disappeared from the market. It was the only thing that worked the first time I flashed the new SBF.
ya, after flashing the new SBF, had to manually install Z4 as it wasnt in the market. Also it seems as if the D2 method wasnt working properly.
Thanks for the help everyone...

I don't know what the reasoning is, but no other root methods seem to work on 2.2.1.

YEs it works. That was the point of this thread. lol
I had to wipe data to get z4 to work. I don't know why but if I downloaded all my apps again and set everything up it wouldn't work.
Put your phone in airplane mode, reboot, run z4root, let it reboot you phone. Once it powers on take it out of airplane mode and you should be rooted.

Rooting through ADB works... z4root is much easier of course.
The .340 OTA installed on my phone today. Lost root.
I tried the DarkOnion batch file (DoRootWin_2.1.4) several times and could not get it to run to completion.
As mentioned, Z4 (in airplane mode) worked fine.
I tried this...my phone is telling me it cannot down the file because the file type is not suported by my phone. What am I missing? Thank you!!!
I too am having issues with rooting after the ota update. I initally was rooted using the rootmyx2 one click gui from sli3ntki11 and did the update, now nothing will give me root access, I tried z4, rootmyx2 (again), and tried the doroot.bat method through the android sdk install. Kinda at a loss. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
So I believe I figured it out. I have two existing superuser.apk in my system/app folder. This from what I read in some other posts is confusing z4 ( go figure smart enough to root but not to overwrite, lol) but the directory is read only. The other post gave a link to the steps to access it but the page was not found. Can anyone give me the steps to take to gain access to the directly and make it read/write so I can remove those two rogue files and get rooted?

z4root not supported on my droid X
hi,
i updated my Droid X to the latest version. 2.3.340. and downloaded the z4root through my phone from the link here and i get an error message that the file is not supported on this phone. please help i am new to this and still don't fully understand all of the terms. i tried to download the z4root 1.2 from 4shared.com but the phone hangs and nothing happens. any type of help will be appreciated, thanks.
did you sucessfully install it or did you get the error while trying to install it. you will have to download the apps installer from the market and use it to install the z4root.apk from your sd card.

I saw a post by Android wizard extraordinaire, CellZealot, over at MyDroidForums, who claims :
"... it supports root and is an excellent build. It also supports using the band unlock and GSM performance is far superior to the previous radio firmware. Overall this build is incredibly stable and without question the best build yet for this phone."
That's good enough for me.
Has anyone received this OTA yet? Nothing yet for my two in NY (one rooted, one not).
Sent from my DROID PRO using Tapatalk
Does this update require that I unroot my phone prior to it?
Could any person who has received the update upload it somewhere, please? I cannot wait to update my phone and root it again. I have tried to update it but it keeps telling me I have the latest software version.
Scanned the net and no one has posted the update...hopefully someone here will soon
nottin in new jersey checked on moto droid pro system update whats up with this enyone got this update runnin thankssss
There was a renewal. Loading ...

Was rooted. Installed OTA update without problems. Then applications like Titanium Backup can not longer get root privileges. Ran Z4Root to Permanent Root again, it crashes and leaves phone unstable, most of the time freezing a few seconds later and I have to remove battery :-(

Blarg, don't like the sound of that. I'm nit sure that my wife uses any root apps but there is just something wrong with an android phone that does not have root.

I second that!! Bloody takes them ages this time ... wonder why the holdup with some devices?? Its not like theres a million of Droid Pros out there ...
OK, so I can also root with SuperOneClick 1.7 after the update, but the apps like Titanium still can't get root from the SuperUser app. adb shell su also gets Permission denied (after reboot). Any hints?
Edit: problems solved by using aRoot. My conclusion: run aRoot post-update, not z4root nor SuperOneClick.
I lost root after the update and tried Z4Root with no results. SuperOneClick worked after I tried both root methods and rebooted the phone.
I am using AntTek App Manager to remove bloat without any issue. The phone seems more responsive and I have not had any random reboot until now.
Yep - aroot after the update worked. Re-froze the junk via Titanium and my Pro is running well.
For those like me who didn't know how to use aRoot:
Quoted from designgears
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981866
http://ponack.net/designgears/atrix/aRoot/
"How to use:
note: xp users, you will get an error about the TIMEOUT function, ignore it.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone (settings > applications > development > enable USB debugging)
Plug your phone into your computer
Extract aRoot.7z
Run aRoot.bat (run unRoot.bat to unroot)"
I have an AT&T Atrix on the 1.5.7 firmware. I do have all drivers installed, USB debugging enabled, and am using Windows 7 (dual booted on a macbook 2011).
I believe my problem is that I originally rooted it on the old firmware and then i installed the 1.5.7 OTA update. I now have the Superuser app on my phone but it does not give anything root permission. I've attempted to root again via Superoneclick but it gets hung right after pushing pneuter or gingerbreak to the phone. I have also tried unrooting but that gets hung up as well.
Can anyone give me some things to try or even walk me through something?
Thanks so much!
search the dev forum for gladroot as to why it doesn't work...
and you can try to re-root using gingerbreak, which is also in the dev forum.
basically updating without following the proper steps will not keep your root. and also.
NEVER USE SUPERONECLICK!
spend some time in the dev forums. you'll learn a lot.
Thanks! I'll look into the gladroot issue.
I have tried Gingerbreak but when I run the program with my phone connected, the spinning loading cursor displays for a second then nothing happens. I've ran as administrator but that doesn't do anything different.
It's worth noting, on 1.8.4 Gingerbreak 1.2 worked fine. I know recovery wasn't playing nice unless plugged in. That could also help. Obviously it won't hurt.

Update to 1.83 and use gingerbreak. You'll need an external SD card though. It works great.
Not sure if this is the place to put this, but I'm having a similar problem, even if I got here differently.
I tried superoneclick, and I tried gladroot. In each case, the program seemed to run successfully, did everything I expected from the directions, no error messages. Claimed success at the end of the run. The superuser app is installed, but no apps are listed. When I try to run an app that needs root, like Root Explorer, it just complains that my phone isn't rooted.
I used the directions and downloads here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
Build number was OLYLA_U4_0.37.4
My phone is on Bell, so I used the Bell directions. Anyone else have or overcome this problem?
i am rooted, all root apps work.
my problem is android commander says am not rooted (windows xp)
and adb dont work
any solution?
Use gingerbreak and report back

So I tried doing the webtop hack anyway, and when I got to this step:
Code:
adb shell
su
my phone prompted me to allow root access. Finished the process and it's working fine. Ran Root Explorer, it asked for permission, and now it works fine, too.
Maybe doing something as explicit as 'su' in adp shell was the kick in the pants it needed. Either way it's working now...
I thought maybe I'd added superuser to auto-end list, for whatever reason, but when I checked it wasn't there...

I successfully rooted eclair from brand new using z4root. I just flashed 2.2 using odin. I'm now on;
Baseband: I5800XXJP4
Build Number: FROYO.XWJPK
I have tried using z4root again, it goes through some commands then gets near the end, vibrates a couple of times and then nothing happens and eventually the screen goes black and it's almost like the app dies cus I get taken back to file manager, then if I click z4root again it starts installing from scratch.
I have also tried using Universal Androot, and again this goes through everything then fails.
Superone click won't even start for me, I just get the error message "The application was unable to start correctly" error code 0xc000007b

To get Superoneclick to work you need to run it as administrator.
Also, I was unable to get some of the breaks for Superoneclick to work. I ended up using psneuter to break it.
Edit: Don't forget to set your phone to USB debugging.

I tried using superoneclick 2.3.3 on my continuum after it received the froyo upgrade, and I have two problems:
1) it hangs whenever it gets to step 1 of pushing superuser
2) it says I'm already rooted, do I want to continue
I previously tried rooting with z4root, but I didn't think that was successful because the busybox installer and a root checker both say I don't have root access. Any ideas?
try the ginger break option i think is what its called and make sure u have usb debugging enabled. or u could just use odin to install a pre rooted ec09 rom

Dude!
Awesome suggestion...I found a thread over at android forums for flashing D17 first, then EC09, which is sorta what I wanted to do. It's working flawlessly now (i'm installing the EC09 OTA update as we speak). But I can tell this method will work.
I don't know what happened before, but it's like my phone was in rooted limbo. Hell, even my wifi wouldn't connect to any networks...now it does.
Thanks again for your help. You rock!
