SuperOneClick easy root for 2.2 & 2.1

okay im having problems unlocking sgs on ugjk4 on sgs unlock app i get sorry no code found unknown error ??

that app no longer (or is having a hard time working) with FROYO firmwares. I used it to unlock mine when I was still in Eclair.
Maybe you should revert to a stock Eclair? Anyways, once you have the unlock and freeze code, make sure you write it down and save it in your PC.
Note: When I flashed to Froyo using Odin, network locked re-appeared and I needed to punch in the exact code I got when I was in Eclair. Now, It's totally unlocked. No more unlock code after that initial flash to Froyo.
Wish you luck!

okay new too this please understand i think got what u mean but how would i revert back to eclair never did this!!! so basically your saying be more easy to go back eclair then root it then SGS unlock will work then write code paper update back to froyo and unlock would work still.....is this correct ??

update
i think figured out why get error code silly me forgot put sim!!! okay now what Sim must be inserted SGS unlock app (original Sim that phone locked to) or any Sim will do sorry i am new to this was i phone user for while

With or without sim, you should be able to get the code since the code itself is for the phone and is embedded in the phone.

hmmm....then 2.2 sgs app doesnt work??any other ideas i dont wann downgrade just 2 unlock???

It's not a permanent downgrade. Flash back to eclair, unlock your phone, write down the unlock code and freeze code then flash back to froyo.
Don't forget to back up your EFS folder to your SD card and laptop.

[Q] SuperOneClick vs OCLF
Hey Guys, I have the i9000m through Bell Mobility, and today I rooted it using SuperOneClick. It ran and said completed successfully, and installed a SuperUser app on my phone.
What is the difference between this and the OCLF? Does SuperOneClick include some sort of "lag fix"? Is one method superior to the other?
Cheers!

OCLF does lagfix your phone, yes. However, it is outdated. I would recommend you to try z4root and z4mod.

I've heard about Z4 from a few friends, couldn't find it on the Market so I went with SuperOneClick. Thank you for the suggestion - I will probably try this one if I need to do it again.
I've also learned that most third party ROM's include LagFixes in their Kernel, eliminating the need for them in the rooting process.
Are there any real differences in the rooting apps?

What is your end-goal?

End goal, to educate myself on a few fronts of Android phones. I'd like to have enough knowledge to root, and install new ROM's (which I can confidently do). I'd also like to have a good understand of reverting to factory ROM and settings (if you could point me a to a descriptive thread on this it would be much appreciated!).
Just wondering if one rooting method is superior to the others

Hello, can anyone of you help me please? I see someone mentioned z4root. Now this is my problem:
I downloaded z4root, ran it and it seems like it started but after few seconds my phone just vibrated and then it turned me to my home screen, which means i wasnt able to root.
Could anyone be so kind and help me out with it?
My firmware version is 2.2.
Thanks in advance

Sorry - haven't tried it myself. But, you can use SuperOneClick if you like with a simple instructional video

[Q] is superoneclick safe to root?
Hi, I want to root my froyo JPO with Superoneclick in order to install lagfix,
but the main problem is my 3 combo buttons not working..
Is it safe to do so?

I would work on getting your 3 button combo working before attempting any type of modifications. On the odd chance something goes wrong you need that to enter recovery mode or download mode. I believe there are a few faqs on it around the site.
As for super one click, I've used it several times flawlessly

Agreed. There's a reason the 3-button fix is a pinned post in every i9000 forum. Fix that BEFORE doing anything.
WRT superoneclick, I've also never had any problems with it although your mileage may vary. Note that there are easier rooting solutions available although none appear to support as many firmware versions as superoneclick.

superoneclick android drivers?
Hello, i plan to use superoneclick to root my galaxy s phone. I went to superoneclick site and it said "You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed". Now i have installed kies drivers, is that enough or do i need to install other drivers? Also, i have adb installed.

someone please reply...

[Q] Root B136 Firmware

Having applied the OTA update in Australia on Crazy John's, i believe i am running 136 Firmware.
Build number :-
U8800v100R001C00B136SP02
Very happy with the new firmware, stability much improved as is the call quality and camera. However, I am unable to root the phone using z4root.
Is there another method for rooting now?
Thanks,
Joe

Superboot roots this beautifully painless
Can't post the link as i'm a noob. So google this :-
25 May r1: Superboot (and then some!) for the Huawei U8800 / Ideos X5

z4root worked for me after upgrade

im on B136 and z4root rooted my X5 without any problem..

Other option is superoneclick root and that worked for me on B137 as well.

For which ROM? I have "U8800 V100R001C00B137CUSTC44D001 (Mongolia Unitel)" but z4root and SuperOneClick won't root this phone. With B136 firmwares z4root worked fine.

Easiest way to root !

This should work with almost all ROM's out.

EDIT: Silly question, but is USB debugging on? I know Z4root won't work because of the changes in 2.2.2, but SuperOneClick should work as long as USB debugging is on, ADB is there aswell as correct drivers.

Good to hear!

I used Superboot root, and it rooted fine. Only problem is that the boot image doesn't have overclock in it. So when you switch boot.img to Genokolar's Overclock kernal, you still have root, but not total root.
Not sure that makes any sense, so here's an example: superuser works fine and apps get root, however if you go into terminal emulator and type "free", you get an access denied. Since my phone overclocks to 1.8GHz beautifully, I like to have overclock access in case I want it.
Does SuperOneClick or Z4root work with genokolar's roms? I'm considering making the jump to his ROM-B136+B160 V7, since it is Android 2.2.

Is busybox installed? Check if /system/xbin/busybox exist, if it does, try 'busybox free' or even '/system/xbin/busybox free' in terminal.
Genokola's ROM comes rooted, no need for z4root things.

just rooted my Ideos X5 with z4root (B136 SP02 - OTA update)
Everything seems to be working fine (replaced camera libs and deleted bloatware)
I noticed that busybox ins't installed however; is this something I should be worried about ? (Shoudl I try root it again ?)

[Q] and now I'm desperate - serious help needed

Ok, first of all I know there are a million threads about rooting, believe me, I've looked through all of them otherwise I wouldn't be here posting
Now, my problem is that I finally want to root my HTC-Hero to give the fella some new life. However, I have literally tried everything and nothing has worked so far.
I have tried:
Superoneclick
Androot
Z4
via command prompt (coupled with sdk)
Info about my phone:
firmware 2.1 - update 1
build number 3.36.405.1
so far there seems to be a consistent problem: su is found in the folder bin, superuser is placed as should in 'apps'. however, superuser doesn't show up in my app list (yes I've tried rebooting a million times) and via connectbot (terminal) it simply either denies access to su or does not seem to change $ to #. Furthermore, all programs (s.o.c. - androot & Z4root say 'you're rooted' .. however, this is not true).
I am seriously desperate at this point because I want to run cyanogenmod, find a nice theme and gain root access altogether to make my phone a bit snappier. All help is welcome (I'm willing to try anything at this point!).
Thanks in advance !!!

Ok. If either people can't or won't help.. can someone at least point me in the right direction ?? pretty please with lots of sugary **** on top

I think there was a big hoo-haa about HTC locking out root quite well on their 2.1 update. I've been rooted since 1.5 so I didn't pay too much attention, but I think you had to make a goldcard then downgrade to 1.5 in order to root the official 2.1. Its an older method, but as you said all the other methods didn't work, I guess that is your best bet.

Nope, I rooted with Androot from the Official 2.1 update. I used this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...de-Newbie-Guide-to-Install-VillainROM-amp-FaQ

He said he used androot with no success though, which is why I suggested goldcarding it.

Try this link same like the villain rom above , I would suggest you try the ADB way
its much more easier
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/1930-How-To-Root-The-2.1-RUU-or-OTA-Update-For-The-Hero
Gold Card is not required anymore.. there are more easier ways like through ADB if you do it properly

Hi guys thanks for the suggestions. I've tried them but still without luck so far. I guess I will indeed try the goldcard method sometime soon because I think I'm running out of other options.
It's quite weird to say the least though since UniAndroot does say 'woot! you're rooted' but SU doesn't show up and in terminal I still can't get superuser access.
sigh

Uninstall your superuser first,then open androot and root again.The androot will install a superuser in your phone,then you can run it normally.
I had same problem problem,hopefully it helps you

already did that quite a few times..unfortunately there was no luck for me to be found there now I'm seriously thinking of just getting a new phone haha

[Q] Extremely confused Droid X GB - Need Help

So I've searched around the net, and am not 100% sure what to do. Here is my situation.
I "rooted" my phone awhile ago, or so I thought, but now despite having superuser and trying to do the fix and update for it, it doesn't work, and no app can gain root access, however when I try to run droid easy root, it says i'm already rooted.
I'm running GB with build # 4.5.1_57_DX5-35 (if that helps).
All I want to do is re-root or whatever and install a rom (miUi specifically) over the default gingerbread motoblur one. I'm on a Mac btw and don't know much about this stuff...Any help is appreciated.

use the zergrush (aka doomlord) method posted in my signature, should fix you right up
edit: eww just saw where you said you were on a mac, not sure if this will work for the mac, i know that superoneclick also now uses the zergrush method. perhaps there is a mac version of that.

I'll try it out using VMware fusion and my XP partition...Hopefully it works. Might have some questions on the process if there aren't detailed instructions. Thanks.

I have been trying to root a Sidekick 4G for two days now. But the only process that I could find to do it that was currently updated was SuperOneClick. I am posting this to hopefully help others that might be stuck somewhere along the process because in my extensive searches, I have found so many people that were stuck at the same places I was, but noone seemed to have any answers other than re-install the drivers. Well I installed and re-installed the drivers about 10 times; downloading them from various websites.
Problems that I had:
- My Samsung drivers would install part of the way or not all all
Finally, what worked for me was to DL KIES from the Samsung Website. I installed KIES and let it fix the drivers for me! I was then able to get past the 2nd line in SuperOneClick where it was waiting for ADB but now...
- I was getting stuck at Step 5 in SuperOneClick and sometimes at step 7
What I found was that my virus software (Bitdefender) was deleting the exploits as soon as I started the root process! Even though I thought that I had shut down Bitdefender (in MSCONFIG) when I went back into MSCONFIG to check I found that Bitdefender was turning itself back on!
I found that there was a way in the settings within BD to turn off the autovirus scan for a short period of time. Once I had it all turned off, I unzipped SOC again (because BD apparently couldn't see the zipped up files and never deleted those). I reran SuperOneClick, then it finally worked!!!
Hopefully this helps someone from spending the hours & hours that I did trying to find the solution.

SuperOneClick stuck on step 5 for me too.

SuperOneClick uses ZergRush. Why would it matter?
Anyway, when mine was stuck at step 5, it did finally clear. You just have to wait.

This worked for me. Couldn't have been easier.

Always used SuperOneClick to root my ML2.
Please, check this items:
- User Debugging Mode
- Motorola Flash Interface (on Device manager of your computer), if not show this, will not work well.
With your device manager opened, click on Root button and check if your cell loses connection when stopped at chmod command.
The SuperoneClick uses the zergrush tool and seems like a exploit by anti-spyware softwares. Make sure that you disable when runs the SuperOneClick.
