Not gonna happen right now. You'll just have to wait. The G2 isn't the easiest thing in the world to root in the first place, so its going to take a little time.
If you're ancy, just downgrade, and flash a pre-rooted stock OTA build.
Theres a way to root it already out for a while. Search cause that's what I used

I downloaded the rooted zip, did a backup, wiped and flashed. Couldn't have been easier.

Hello, I am not rooted and know nothing about clockworkmod. (I have tried rooting numerous times but no success. I'm thinking drivers) I would like to know if its possible to flash it with my epic being stock? I have searched and have turned no results about flashing it from stock. Everything refers to rooted. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You still need clockwork to flash.

No but I am not sure if you can install it without a pc. Are you using the drivers from samsung?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes I downloaded samsung galaxy s drivers from here when I tried to root. Never for them to work even with 2 fresh installs. Thanks for the info on the z4root, by far the easiest and fastest way I've ever rooted before. But ya I have samsung drivers.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
is it the same driver you get from the samsung website? You said you got them here so I am just checking cause I am not sure. I got mine right from the samsung website.

Just tried to use that to flash the froyo beta and it says signature verification failed.

I am afraid I won't be any help there. I haven't flashed clockwork yet because I am not sure how easy it is to remove (noob) so I am waiting until Froyo releases. Unless I can't find an easy method to install it and uninstall it.
just downloaded z4root and rom manager from market
z4root installing right now

Hi I've been trying to root my Nexus s from day one with no success is there a better way other than ADB for some reason I have no success on ADB
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Hi there I just rooted last night so I'd be glad to help if I can!
Where are you getting stuck?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
You shouldn't actually be using ADB, you should be using fastboot. First off, are you on a mac or a PC?
Not trying to thread jack but maybe you guys can help me. I'd like to upgrade my phone to 2.3.3, root, and use the voodoo sound and colors. Any help? Thanks.

Superboot is easy but I've never been a fan of how it mods your kernel. If you are on a mac you can use the link to the mac rooting guide in my signature

Does it mean it will replace the stock kernel?

Yes it does. It doesn't do anything noticeable but its just as easy to just root the regular way and there is nothing being modified.

The title of this thread is "in need of stock rom"
NOT
"In need of stock rooted rom"
Stock IS UNROOTED and if you're looking for a rooted version of 2.2 or 2.3.3 go back to the main thread list and get the toolkit

maybe if you would read the thread you can see where pcausey77 said I needed a ROOTED STOCK ROM and Im new to all this so there is no need to act like that....and btw stock isn't unrooted when you first root your running stock...

sorry forgot to mention im on 2.3.5 so no z4root will work
Sent from my N860 using xda premium
2.3.5? Which one?
ahhh i think he is using official 2.3 update so he should be gen3 and till have to tpt back to gen2 so hw will get 2.2 and then can root.
I see. Yes, he should revert back to GEN2 and try a ROM based on the 2.3.5 update (Swedish Snow for example).
let me clarify all of it.....i figured someone woulda had a way to root without using a pc....just a app like z4root or androot....but for gingerbread.

I have a galaxy s4 on at&t and have been wanting to root and load a custom rom. I found the thread to load a root load a custom rom and by pass bootloader. I noticed at the top of the thread it has update and says with Build Number I337UCUAMF3 that it won't work. Does anybody know how to root and load custom roms for this build number or am stucking waiting for a work around. Thank you for any replys.
You're stuck waiting for a work around.
Could I use odin to roll back to i337ucuamdl?

Could just root to get WiFi tether back.

I am sad to say, that there is no way back to MDL, but I'm sure someone is working on a bootloader fix on MF3, so hold for awhile.
Ok. Hopefully soon. Getting bored of stock ROM.

With my Captivate (SGS1) and my SGS2 I flashed a new ROM every couple of weeks... with the SGS4, I love the stock ROM with some minor tweaks using Xposed.

Not rooted yet. Was thinking of it for wifi tether. But is rooting really worth it without being able to to unlock bootloader.

You can at least do more than what you can do now, with root, you can at least mod the rom your on.
