Ok, so I ran the superoneclick and it says it was successful and I have superuser on my phone but if I try to use any root programs like titanium backup it says I'm not rooted, any suggestions?
Super oneclick only gives you temporary root, so after you reboot you loose root. On most phones it gives you permanent root but the way the kernel is designed on the intercept it doesn't work. There is an app in the intercept 2.2 development thread at sdx-developers that gives you permanent root and flashes cm recovery to allow you to flash zips to install mods roms and themes!!easy to use!!

Would highly recommend you click over to the dev section - link posted that will give you perma root. Quite simple to do.

I was wondering why my Intercept wasn't holding root... one thing about that app: you have to change the .ch (or is it .sh) files to use stl5. They're written for stl9.
Also, I've used this app about 50 times on my Intercept and it's not working. Its just adding more files to my phone, causing it to slow down more. If it doesn't work and you want a break, use adb shell to delete the files added. I tried using SuperOneClick in combination with the SDX app and that didn't work either. My suggestion is to use SuperOneClick for temp root and flash a rooted kernel and ROM, which is what I'm going to do at some point.

Hmmmm sounds like you are making things more complex then they actually are - took me about 5 seconds to gain perma root without any file name changes.

That's me! I did that with my Wii also lol!
The OneClickRoot program just isn't working for me. I only mentioned the stl5 thing because someone else mentioned it in the SDX thread hosting this program, figured I'd mention it because it's several posts in. I changed mine because SuperOneClick said my mount point was /.../.../stl5 (the ...s are directories I don't remember).
[EDIT] Instead of doing all that, try the post below me. if that doesn't work, just break it down and do it manually... Flash a rooted kernel, then recovery, make your backups, then flash custom roms. I was using all stock when I first wrote the post, but now I'm using SlapKernel, bROM, and CM01 recovery. I WAS making it too complicated lol!

damn glad you got it running - you are further then me now on my Intercept - all I have is root so I can use my 3g as a wifi hotspot for my Acer Iconia a500 tablet need to look into custom roms for the intercept, the Virgin Mobile stock 2.2 is so slow :-(
Stock is somewhat slow. Make sure you read the directions though with rom flashing. I messed up my phone for a few hours from not doing the steps correctly with a certain rom. All sorts of fun! I flashed a rooted stock kernel from sdx, as well as stock rom (idk if roms are rooted? Its depends on the kernel right? Ill google it...) and a kernel package that has some tweaks to the stock (or any) kernel. I gotta say, adding Zeam launcher to a rooted and tweaked stock is running quite well for me.

Does everything works with Toast's root method?
Considering Toast's method is the only way to load custom ROMs I think his is the clear winner.
I started off with Unrevoked's and it was great for things like Titanium backup, but I decided to follow Toast's guide and it was really pretty simple.

I cant use the adb with the evo, no matter what i do windows dont find the drivers.
If i root with toast method, do i need to flash a custom rom? does everything works on yours?
For the drivers you have to goto the htc sync folder on your sd card and install the htc sync program.

You can't flash custom ROMs with unrEVOked. Instant fail. I also like having my ROM actually rooted, and not just reliant on some other app.

The poll should read what is the best way not what did you use. It is misleading.
Toasts root is the best because of the recovery. That is needed for custom ROMs, nand backups, and a host of underthings.
A lot of people used unrevoked because it was easy and are new to android so they don't know the difference yet at least.
Toast method ftw! Been following his work since the hero. What's the point of rooting if you can't flash custom roms???

Don't worry about it, you'll be flashing a ROM over it. I was using unrevoked before I did Toast's method and it went fine.
Did you flash back to the .1 shipped software (upgrade was the .6)?
Go toast! though unrevoked is nice for those who don't want to tinker too much with the phone but want root
Unrevoked by far. Very clean and simple.
To reverse it? takes 20 seconds..
The REAL winner is who gets r/w access. THATS a rooted phone in my opinion.
flashing custom roms is awesome, but what good is it if you can't r/w the system. pfft.
I have faith that all the devs working on r/w access will pull through. Your work is so very appreciated!

well i root but the wire less tether wont work, going to flash a custom romand let you know.

Alright, So I recently just moved from an Evo to the epic. And I'm glad I did. The evo was great, But I missed having a keyboard and the epic hasn't dissapointed.
I have a couple questions though,
Rooting on the evo was super easy, I'm still confused on how to use the one click root for epic. People are saying it doesn't work? And I read on some website if you just want to change roms and change kernals just to flash a custom recovery onto it and don't root, because rooting will only let you get root-only apps.
Please? Explain on how to root with the one click root method because I'm Completely lost on how to do this for the epic 0_o
The one click root does work. I followed the instructions and my phone is rooted. I'm new to android and to rooting but not new to modding phones/computers/software. After rooting you can still download none root apps in addition to root apps. From what I've seen most of the rooting issues come from people not following the instructions or not truely understanding them. I haven't flashed to a new rom yet. I'm waiting on froyo. So I can't say for sure but its my understanding that you have to have root premissions to flash a custom rom.

As far as how to root with the one click root I installed the samsung usb drivers for my operating system (win 7 64bit) Note: after reading several posts the driver installation takes a little bit. Click on the installing drivers message to bring up the install window. I let the installtion run for almost 15 minuted and it still gave me an error but after turning on usb debbuging on phone connecting with usb, mounting sd card, and running the one click root my phone restarted and I was rooted. If you search other posts you'll find more detailed instructions.

Correction. You don't have to root to flash a rom I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. All you need is clockwork recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The only problem you'll encounter, if any at all, with rooting is with driver installation. If u follow the guides tho and don't try to experiment, u shud be good to go. These roots are one click as well as it involves running a simple bat file. Some phones are more finnicky than others, but they shud give u no trouble if u know what ur doing. Good luck.
And yes, the keyboard on this rules

This is actually relevant to more than just the Thunderbolt. It fixes Superuser problems with numerous newer Sense releases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
My su binary is already being provided via the root thread but the matching Superuser is not. Without the matching patched Superuser, you'll see FCs when apps request root if the Superuser app itself is open.
Just apply the update zip from the aforementioned thread to fix it. ROM builders should use my patched version as well.
Please update to this, I will be fixing the tutorial as soon as I can, and noting it here.
Rafi, good to see you on the bolt. Looks like we will get a virtuous Rom too. Ran your Rom on the inc till I got run over by the desire z, hd craze.

I agree - however, in my case, nothing was solving the FC's - so I put in this SU and all is right with the world.
I think it's worth trying if all other permissions methods are failing - it certainly "feels" more stable.
This fixes su issues while the superuser app is open.
Flash it.
Thank you rmk & jcase

There is simply no way any newer Sense ROM works correctly without this patched version. You *will* ultimately encounter issues.
Don't believe me, try this. Open up the Superuser app itself, connect via adb shell, su system, su root. Observe hang. This is just an example, there are numerous other ways to have the issue occur.

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

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...

What do people recommend as the best method to root my phone and leave it as untouched as possible (IE reversible so that 2.3 OTA update can be had when it comes out)? I would really like to NOT have to totally flash/wipe my phone to achieve this, but admittedly I haven't gotten too far in researching because every method I've seen involves wiping the phone and installing some custom rom from scratch when I'm perfectly happy with the base/pre-fab interface from Sprint.
IS there even a way to get root without losing the existing data on my phone?
Odin cwm 3.1.0.1, and flash the genocide kernel. Yes, when you update you will lose root, but everything else should be intact (data/apps/contact)

He's not flashing gingerbread. He wants to stay on froyo. For easy root u could use odin to flash clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 and then flash the su.zip in recovery. Or you could run the one click root with clockwork mod 3.1.0.1. A third option if u just want root with no custom recovery u could try an app called gingerbreak. That will give u root without a custom recovery. All 3 of these will not wipe your phone.

Ok cool. Just didn't want him to end up in a bind. Lots of ways to gets stuck. It's not foolproof and you may end up having to wipe in the end. I say root and stick with it.

This worked like a champ - got nervous at first because it just sat there staring at me and it took me a minute to read ALL the text on the screen where it says to reboot the phone and try again if it did that. Second attempt went flawless and so now I am assuming I have CWM on my phone.
Now what? CWM just enables the ability to grab root and is not root itself, correct? Should I grab a hot-spot app now (which one is recommended? the links provided by blu9987 go to a distro directory with various flavors) from the market place? Do I still need to install some root app like Super User?
-edit-
A quick market search turned up this: https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether
The only requirements are a rooted phone and a netfilter enabled kernel - which I imagine it is.. 2.6 linux kernels usually have it as part of their default module set, but that's for desktop linux - not sure about my phone.
You can use that, or a newer beta version which you won't find on the market, or use open garden.
I am trying it out because of the large number of votes and high rating. My only issue now is that it says tethering is up and running but I can't see it.
Trying to figure out how to enable ad-hoc mode instead of infrastructure and see if that makes the difference.
Is there a non-adhoc wifi hotspot app, by chance? Looks like if I want to use ad-hoc I will have to root my xoom, too.
Trying to find methods to do that which will preserve my xoom data too but if there's an infrastructure mode hotspot app I will happily use that instead.

Now I see what blu's link was referring to. In digging around online I came back to it and it's more clear now what it is and which to use. Here's hoping it works for my epic and not just for the EVO.

If you're talking about wifi tether it should work on the epic (atleast it did on eclair). In the version 3 in settings you can select "Samsung Epic" from the device menu too.
Run the one-click which will give you root and then download wifi tether from the market
Jeez you guys are making this seem so complicated. Wtf does he need odin for? All he wants is root and hotspot. He doesn't even need a new kernel.
