I would recommend not to use gingerbreak, as I had loads of problems, I don't know wether it was a one off, but I experienced the following....
When opening camera I would just get a black screen, and the device would just freeze up. I would hav to reboot the device
My lock security option became disabled!! Couldn't set a lock pattern, pin etc...
And.... Pc companion wouldnt recognise my device!
Has anybody else had problems!??
try this if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047484
I managed to do a restore via seus, just wanted to warn others
I've just been trying to connect to my PC via USB for either ADB or Fastboot and neither are working.. It was fine when I rooted with fastboot and flashed bin4ry's method.. then I was trying something so I reflashed a stock ROM then rooted with gingerbreak.. now the PC doesn't recognise it at all..
[EDIT - Forgot to mention - the reason I was trying to connect my phone was because since I gingerbroke my phone the battery consumption has been shocking too.. so I wanted to start from scratch! and go back to Bin4ry's rooted ROM. ]
What version of gingerbreak did you guy's use?
Would it matter what version to use?
I have rooted with gingerbreak some time ago and do have none of the problems above.
I did it with version 1.1 of gingerbreak
Root with the gingerbreak method is the best option right now, that way you will still have warranty for your device.

i used 1.2 version.
i dont no wether to try gingerbreak again, just to comfirm these problem or wether i accidentally uninstalled something with titanium!??
you don't lose your warranty by unlocking the BL.. you only lose your warranty by bricking your phone with a dodgy custom kernal.
Nope, I did not have any of the problems you are having. Mine works flawlessly!
Rooted with Gingerbreak 1.2, and I have no problems as desribed by Gibbo or iceman.
I can see my device in adb as well as do shell command on it. I haven't tried stock camera app again since I know it drains battery really bad; But I don't have problem whatsoever taking pictures with Vignette.
Rooted with 1.1 and no problems at all
Just know what you delete and what you allow

Hi guys ,
I have rooted my xperia arc with gingerbreak 1.2 it's running good but for example quickboot run perfectly but titanium backup dont recognizes the root right :/ I dont understand that .
Have you installed busybox ?
Rooted with 1.2， no issues at all .
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
yeah ! Sorry but ultimately i have solved my problem ! I'm a little stupid at times , i have forgot to install busy box ...
Now my xperia arc is perfectly rooted thank's all .
ive had the black screen issues but everytime its been due to low memory. But I had this before rooting. By using gingerbreak I can now use autostarts and I have far less issues

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.

Meh, 1.8.3 I means. Although I just noticed Greyblur takes it down to 1.5.7

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
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 tried gb to not rooting
finally rooted !!!!!
How did you finally root GB? Been trying with gingerbreak 1.2. Getting close but not there yet
Have you made sure USB debugging is turned on and that the SD card is mounted ?
Should work on 353 if the above is true (I did this on my Streak). Also works if you need to unroot as well.
I used superone click 1.7 make sure phone sync is off might have been my problem

Hi, just installed the new BELL OTA update that is now available. If you have not received it, go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Update.
To Root, download GingerBreak from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
You will need v1.20 - install, enable USB Debugging, and wait. It took around 1 minute on my phone. Afterwards, if you were not rooted previously, download SuperUser from the market.
Can confirm this method works. First try did not work; rebooted unmounted formatted SD card, remouted. Then retried gingerbreak. 1 min approx to root, root confirmed with superuser.
Downloading now...
What about gladroot? It doesn't work?
Glad root will work, frozenfish is left intact in /osh/sbin.
(That's just the su binary with a different name, but the right permissions, you can adb shell, and type /osh/sbin/frozenfish and have a root shell.)
Cheers!
Worked for me. Takes a few good minutes so be patient.
Yeah, works fine to root and unroot, just have to be patient and wait.

I just updated (37.23) yesterday, there is no /osh/sbin/frozenfish on my Atrix
Now running Blur_Version.0.37.23.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (build OLYLA_U4_0.37.23)
I had used GladRoot 4.3 to previously root the device. Now I'm wondering if it's going to be safe to run Gingerbreak 1.2 - anyone in the same scenario ?

Just thought I'd report that I successfully ran Gingerbreak 1.20 on 37.23 (after having used GladRoot on 37.4) and everything seems OK, I'm back in root mode.

I used Gladroot for the initial FW version, but I didn't want to chance that it may not work or cause any issues like SuperOneClick. I went with Gingerbreak just to be safe.
Put me on the list of the list confirming that Gingerbreak works with this FW...
Hi I tried to use Gingerbreak but the application was running for about 20 minutes and then it crashed. I was wondering if this root app worked for everybody and if maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I'm have a Bell Atrix with the latest firmware.
Any information or suggestion/solution would be appreciated!!!

Anyone having issues with their backlighting? Mine seems dim and sometimes don't come on.
Thanks
Just ran on 37.23. Works! Only took a minute.
Can confirm this works on bell 2.2.2. This indeed deleted my internal sd data though, so make sure to back up before proceeding.

I just have a quick question about using Gingerbreak on my Atrix running this newest firmware.
Do I absolutely need an SD card in the phone?
I don't have one so I was wondering if I can stil do it or I need to go out and get one tomorrow?
Thanks!
You need one definately.
Successful 37.23 update - unsuccessful root.
I've just ran the the bell 37.23 update.
I managed to gain root access again after running super one click.
However after I factory reset the phone all my root applications stopped working.
Super user was still in the app drawer, but titanium backup was saying it didn't have root access. (along with every other root app)
I tried rooting/unrooting the phone again with super one click and every time it hangs on "Running psneuter..."
I also tried rooting with GingerBreak and it just stays on the "Running exploit..." screen.
Any suggestions?
If I root my new Defy Plus using the one click root, how can I unroot it again, if I needed to send it back for example ?
Would a regular 'factory reset' take it back to unrooted state, or is there something else I'd need to do.
Try the unroot option in soc. If out don't work you can flash an avg anytime to restore the phone to 'just out of box' condition

Hi,
Not sure if Super one click will root the Defy plus. I tried it the first defy plus I got and it would not work.
Droid3 root did work though. I had to send it back due to it continually re booting. Used Pete's Root tools (think that's what it was called to un root it). Must have worked as I was sent a replacement phone with no problems.
Mind you the touch screen was faulty on that one. On my third defy plus and it is working fine after three days, fingers crossed!
Regards
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Yes its the droid 3 root that works on the defy plus, I'll have to have a look for Pete's root tools if that's the way to unroot again.
does anyone know how can i be sure if my phone is unrooted or not? is that sure that pete's tools work?
Well, m8be a stupid question..
But what does it do ?
Can i put some other software on the root of this phone like i did on HTC ?
yes you can use new features on your phone like adblocker apps and for example you can delete apps that were installed on the device when you bought it.
Well i rooted my phone and somehow my camera (view from screen) ****ed up.
I tried a different android proggie from the market and did the same error.
So unroot did do the job and gave my camera and gave my view back.
Some1 got the same problem ?
I've never heard about such a problem before. but what program did you use to root and unroot the phone? cus we heard about a a few programs which work but let's make these things clear
DROID 3 easy root script v7
I also rooted my defy plus this afternoon, I used the newest version (2.3.1.0) of Super One Click and it worked. Both rooting and unrooting were finished and I also checked it with a few apps which need a rooted phone. Both rooting and unrooting were succesfull.
Because some apps works only on a rooted handy i tried again
with DROID 3 easy root script v7.
Superuser seems to work now.. also my camera
The only thing i didn't do is to go into boot section after the blue led thing.
