Hello,
I had rooted my MS2 a first time with z4root but when I sent it to be repaired (the volume button was broken and there also was some problems with the keyboard) they updated the phone and did a factory reset so I was not able to become root anymore.
I know there are existing topics about rooting MS2 but all the technics which are proposed are not working.
I tried the first one which consists in installing z4root but this one does not work anymore.
I have also tried the fastboot method which is not working neither as the program prints it is waiting for device indefinitely.
Is there any good working method ? I really need to be root to install new roms and/or overclock.
Thanks is advance.

Hi , maybe u want to try gingerbreak ? I use it to root. It has unroot function too. Maybe it doesnt work for first time, but if u continue to use it, it will eventually root the phone.

This worked great ! Thanks !
I did completely forget about Gingerbreak existence.
Thank you !
Thanks ! I have the same problem and i test gingerbreak on my MS2 on froyo and it work, i'm so happy !

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...

Use "FlashTool" (Search the forum for this). It's the easiest way to root ATM and you can Install xRecovery and Optimize (JIT) as well using this same tool.

It is from 9th january. lates update from SE is about 31th jan. so i tried and it doesn't root my phone.
To flash my phone have some disadvantages in my opinion. For example i have to reconfigure it, including my contacts. Or is there an another way?
damm....
Have you read the sticky?
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
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
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
Right folks just been given one of these phones for my partner...is LOCKED to three and we wish to root it and then flash 2.2... Have tried several different rooting guides and managed to get a partial root but not full...By partial I suspect its because Superuser is not working even after removing it and reinstalling the damn thing.... z4root,sdmaid,titanium,mybackup pro all show rooted and work but can't grant persmissions for others... have reflashed to no gain.... and as a result due to this root issue I can't seem to flash 2.2 as it always fails and have to reflash 2.1 to get working phone...
So my question is this is there a GOOD root guide with working files out there that everyone has had success with????Ow can I fix superuser issue?And how can I reslove the flashing with 2.2 rom issue?

Hi everyone,
First of all, i'm not really expierenced with Android, so this could be one of the reasons my problems occur.
I've got a Samsung Tab 4 (SM-t230) and tried to root it several times now, sadly enough i couldn't get the job done
What have i tried so far?
I restored my device every time i tried a new method, so the attempt to rooting the device was on a clean device.
I've read a lot of threads all over the internet about Vroot, i've tried this a few times, but this program doesn't seem to get my tab rooted.(it ends with a sad smiley where i can start the process all over again. Unfortunatly with the same results)
I've tried to flash the device with odin and a custom rom, this doesn't work either.
Along the way i tried a lot of methods, but none of them seem to work.
Is there a way to root this device, it would really help me out.
My android version is: 4.4.2
My kernel version is: 3.10.0-3095390
Thanks!

I used the ODIN method for my T230NU Tab 4 7.0 and it worked perfect, and I'm on a custom stock rom (as sadly that's all there is) but it's working fine so far!
how do you root?
How did you get the flash part to work in recovery? I went in recovery after Odin said success and it had no flash option. Could you post your steps and the files you used so I can do it? Thanks!
