[Q] bricked after unroot :(

so i rooted my vibrant and was having issues with titanium back up constantly (like every 2 seconds) demanding su permissions. i decided to unroot and try to re-root but the phone now freezes at the galaxy S screen during bootup and eventually the screen goes black with only the 4 keys at the bottom lit.
i unrooted by using the "1-click root/unroot" app on the forums.
the rom was stock and the phone has never really been modified aside from being rooted and ryan's lag fix
thanks in advance
also---sorry for putting this in the wrong section, could a mod please move it to general? i wont make the mistake again

Not bricked. You will likely have to re-flash using ODIN. Search around and read up and you find out how to do it.

Which unroot app did you use?

that one....
i'm reading about odin now trying to figure out what to do, not really sure how this happened in the first place

prolly has to do with the lag fix and then you unrooting... but flashing back to stock through odin should fix all your problems and from what ive read and found out myself its almost imposible to brick this phone. but use odin and flash a stock rom or if you have access to clockwork try using the nandroid that someone posted here somewhere. another thing you can try is to root your phone again through stock recovery and that might fix your problems cause i think the lag fix has to have root to work and since you got rid of root and kept the lag fix you get stuck

I used odin and everything works now.
Thanks for the help!

Need help!!! tried tranquility and now lost root, cant get koush's recovery to flash back. Need help to get back.

Can't root after installing Tranquility!
Anyon,e please I could use some advise. Not sure what I should do before I jack up my phone!

If you have lost root, you will need to root your phone again if you want to use bootstrap recovery. Try to find z4root

I tried several times and when I do phone just reboots, will not allow me to?

Reboots when you try to root?

I figured it out, I did a factory reset and was able to download koush's recovery and get back. I guess I still had root, market wouldn't let me download any apps that needed to be rooted.

[Q] Wiped to Fresh and got Froyo looking for Root from my SD Card or App like Z4root

I was rooted using the one step rook but started having issues with my Windows & laptop not wanting to see my Epic conected to USB.
When I reverted back to stock it downloaded 2.2.1 so I have Froyo but need to be able to root off my sd card. I tried Z4Root but it did not get me rooted and I do not think it works for 2.2.1.
Any ideas on a another app I could root with?
Thanks

The .1 update to froyo was to close off the exploit z4root used, there are no other apps that root.

Did you flash back to dk28 stock or di18?

Do I det the file off my sd card. I have tryed with out det and it said I was already
Rooted?

are you still running stock rom? if so download rom manager from the market, install clockworkmod and flash a cutom rom. if its going to be a froyo (2.2) rom download and flash clockwork 3.0.0.5, if it's going to be a gingerbread rom (2.3) download 2.5.x.x or follow a guide to install 3.0.0.6. root doesn't play nice with stock rom that's why usually when you root you flash a custom rom fairly quickly afterwards.
Hope this helped
Nic

You can also get superuser off the market.

I assume you're using visionary to temp root and permanent root. if root doesn't stick the first time, keep hitting temp root and then permanent root in visionary. Try that. I can tell you brief step by step to get ultimate permanent root and sim unlock but you might go crazy just by reading lol.

Just go get superuser out of the market again. Then you will be able to su in terminal emulater again.

Odin'd to stock, trying to root, su broken?

So i just odin'd from miui to stock, went to root, everything went fine. except that it kinda didnt. now, whenever i try to use an app that requires root (rom manager, root explorer, etc) it crashes. Superuser does it too.
is there something i'm missing? i've odind many many times, with no problems whatsoever. this time tho, nothing root related works. i've tried re-odining, rerooting, with different files that i've had on my computer for ages, with new ones just downloaded, with AIO. all to no avail.
any ideas?

I've noticed that Superuser has had some updates lately that could be the issue.

did you reboot the phone right after rooting?

Could you try using my noob guide and my update.zip files.... I prefer B as it is the fastest method. The ROM will give you root access.

Or get old school oneclicklagfix 2.3, I use it every time now. Root zip built in.

I recommend going back and using the noob guide option recommended above. It has also worked perfectly for me.
