Very cool thanks for the heads up.

sent from LG Dare lol
It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.
worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

Really Works? The Rooted Apps too?
Does this really work and do the rooted apps function? Why does this work and the bootloader has not been cracked? Cunfused....
And now there's this too.
I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA
sorry for being such a noob thanks for your help

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later
universal androot
Im using universal androot and have my phone rooted, which i believe is the same thing as 1click root will i still get the ota in September with root on, I hope i have not posted in a inappropriate place I just was curious.

I tried universal androot v1.6.1 and it was a no go, seemed soon after installing toolkit it kicked me out. I did the update.zip so i'm up to 2.2 now. Gonna try the droidx root in the first post see if that does it.

theres no way to root a 2.2 device yet, u have to root in 2.1 first then move su around and then move it again once upgraded to 2.2

this is incorrect. you can root your 2.2 Droid X with this method: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/26/droid2-rooting-method-works-for-droidx-running-froyo/
worked like a charm on first go for me.
My speaker on the back of my droidx is blown i need to take it to verizon. How do i get rid of superuser permissions app in app drawer? I rooted with universal androot. I was told you have to remove it first then unroot. So i looked for it in app manager to delete it but its not there. I tried unrooting it still not there. Rooted it back still not there. Thanks for ur help.

Traded the DINC in for the DX and rooted in 2 minutes!!!!!! Kinda miss the DINC, well I miss HTC Sence
does this one click root work for the 2.2? and is there a chance that the fone will not root correctly and not work?
Guys,
Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!
My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1
I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

ok, here comes the idiot question of the night....
is there any way to root my phone, without having to use a computer to download any files ??
When my friend originally rooted my phone when I was on 2.1, he didnt have to use a computer, he was able to do it right on the phone itself (not sure what he did, tbh)

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.
Hi, i'm looking to root my phone, I read on PCworld mag that Z4root and simple root are in the android market, but i assume google took them down. How can I root my phone through an app? I have gingerbread.
Thanks

why not just install adb drivers? if you're rooting the n1, adb will be one of your best friends, and then that way all you need to do is
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and flash superuser...

Bootloader unlock: The fastest way to root, but don't do that if you're concerned about warranty. However, currently it's the only way to root 2.3.4 unless you want to downgrade to earlier version.

Ok, so... I'm not new to rooting, but i AM new to rooting a nexus 7.
I had it all rooted and installed Baked's new ROM, and it gave me superuser permission when I booted into the OS the first time.. but then I restarted the nexus and bam. root was gone, superuser no longer worked... had to reload my backup of my original rom, root is back again.
I'm running CWM touch as recovery (latest update) had OTA voodoo rootkeeper (which won't help though because its a fresh install right?)
Can anyone tell me what is going on? I'm a bit lost... usually when you root. You are rooted. period. This is a new game to me.
Use this program to root it again mate:

On the top left corner, it lets you choose your model and ROM.
Just choose custom ROM for any non official ROM's.

thanks! just downloaded it ... any suggestions on a great ROM? i've tried a few, but there are so many. lol!
update youre superuser or supersu app. i suggest you get the supersu app from the market since superuser is a bit buggy on jelly bean. open the supersu app, itll ask to update the binaries, do it. no need wasting your time "rerooting".
No worries, glad I could help Unfortunately, I've not ventured into the different ROM's yet. Should really....... So I can't recommend any. Sorry Though I do like the look of the ones that have the real tablet UI, might try one of them in a few days.....
Though you know what your doing, if you do need any help, you know where I am
If you could press the thanks button mate, I would really appreciate it Cheers

after you do it(supersu), with a root file explorer like root explorer go to /system/app/ and delete the superuser.apk and reboot.

if you ever read that you have to reroot, think twice about it. rerooting is what people that dont know better say. as in this case, it was only a bad app.

that's what i was thinking.. I've rooted so many times before and once you're rooted. you're rooted unless an ota takes the root away, but... i was just installing roms... so weird... superuser just doesn't work well with Jelly?

yup. it works, but with minor issues. supersu is working flawlessly. another thing to do is update your busybox, stericsons busybox updater in the play market works well, and is free.

with any nexus device, there really isnt a "rooting". from scratch all you need to do is fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), fastboot flash a custom recovery, and either flash the su binaries or a custom rom in your recovery. no root toolkits needed. thats whats awesome about any nexus.

you shouldn't root your phone if you have to ask.
Root all the (Android) things!
There's no reason to NOT root a device, there are tons of reasons TO root.... Hell, my PC running Bluestacks right now has been rooted! Hacked that SOB to run whatever size "SD card" I want it to have, just because it was possible
Rooting for sure, can't live without adblocking now especially how ridiculous the ads are becoming.
Yep +1, I'll be rooted within minutes of receiving mine. As usual.
