Make sure you have the drivers installed, USB Debugging to On.
After, use root explorer or file manager to set system To RW.

There are other methods like Blackthund3r's root. But this works for me.
Thanks I will try that out

the link had nothing to do with rooting it was about overclocking
Yeah...I was wondering the same thing...I haven't tried blackthund3rs method yet, but the Simple version didn't work.
Odd thing was it completed, and said it was done...but when I installed Titanium BU, it said no root access. I installed Term Emulator as well, and this confirmed no Root access...yet
I'll give it a try later, but am still searching for a method that works on OTA ICS build # 1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Blackthunder3r's tools are excellent with very good support.. Automated and easy.
I tried the Blackthunder3r's root and it works fine.. now that im rooted im trying to move apps2sd.. anyone able to do this

I just picked up my AT&T Galaxy tab, brand new. When I tried to install the z4root.apk file with the filemanager, I got a message:
"Install blocked. For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android market"
What gives? Three days ago I was able to use z4root to root T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab.
Is this device "locked" onto Market and how do I fix that without root?
The options are setting and cancel. Settings take me to "applications" and "development" is to to "allow mock locations" - but it does not make a difference.
PLEASE help.
Thanks
There is perfectly good z4root in the market, you don't have to sideload it.
i used it on my sprint tab and it didnt give me read / write access to system folder

If it dont work the first time turn off the Tab and try again

Unfortunately Z4root was removed from the marketplace (again) yesterday. It was there in the morning but gone by the time I received my AT&T Galaxy Tab in the afternoon.
Does anyone know if Sideload Wonder Machine might work with Z4root on the AT&T GT, or another way to get Z4 on my Tab?

att tab blocked 3rd party apps need to use one click or flash euro rom on first
Off to work, I will give one click a try when I get home-thanks
ive tried that , ive used adb and root explorer neither of which actually give me access, adb just fails and root explorer says its r/w but everytime you do something it says its done but if you refresh the directory its still the same. I tried z4root, superoneclick root none seem to work I even restored my tab and started over but still no r/w access. This is my first attempt at rooting so maybe im doing something wrong but from what i was told it seems im not
I think you need to allow "Unknown Sources" under Application Settings. Try turning that on and see if it allows you to install.
Thanks
OneClick is working fine.
Please confirm, but I believe the issue is that AT&T has disabled sideloading, where T-Mo and other carriers have not.
I downloaded z4root last week but did not get around to rooting the Tab. Are we now saying that even though I have app, it will not work due to fact that it has been removed from Marketplace?
Will try the root when I get back home, but it sounds like AT&T Tab users are hosed for now.

[edit] - rooting with z4root worked fine. As long as you have it, all is good.
I have an at&t tab and no issue for me since i installed the euro firmware anyway. Up yours at&t!!!

Thanks maxtcee, my AT&T GT is now rooted!
After rooting w/One Click I did the WPA_Supplicant swap on the Tab for adhoc wireless connection. I have Wireless Tether on my Droid2 so now I don't need a data plan for my AT&T Tab!
With 3rd-party rom, can one still use AT&T's $25 2GB 30 day plan? Thanks! -- Kevin
Did you get any errors in the process?
I am currently working on a project for my computer forensics course. I am trying to gather methods used to root Android's without having to install a custom ROM and lose the data held on the internal memory. I would appreciate it if people could help me generate a list of known methods for older and newer versions of Android.
--------------
E.g. AndRoot - used on versions lower than v2.27.651.6?
Universal AndRoot - used on v2.1
SuperOneClick
Unrevoked
--------------
I plan to roll back my HTC Hero to use the older ROM's and attempt the exploits. Does anyone recommend somewhere to get older stock ROM's from?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Z4Root is an app I used from the market that will root your phone without a PC.
1) Install Z4Root
2) Run app and hit "Perm Root"
3) Phone reboots and installs SU
4) Done

Root Access
Anybody tried to run some applications which requires root access after rooting.
It looks like superuser used is pushed into phone. But when you are running the applications which require root access, not getting any pop-up for allowing denying... any clues...

Working fine now.... Probably you need to add one last step.
6. After rooting, Reboot the phone to start using apps which need root permission.

i tried titanium backup after rebooting the phone. first time it didnt work, second time it did.
I think its more easy to flash phone and in 6 min have instaled xrecovery,JiT,have many apps that i dont need with installed gingerbread theme.
Not sure which one will be better for my device.
Both root the device and enable ADB over wifi.
But TouchNooter is easier and installs some useful things, so you should root your device with it (unless you just need to root it)

hi,
can you explain me how to make ADB over USB working?
I used NookDev root method, and it works correctly, but i just have ADB over WiFi.
Thanks
My mistake, I wanted to say ADB over wifi
Do both!
I say both Touchnooter first, and then read through the nookDevs one (and Xboxexpert's method too) to learn what you just did.
In xboxexpert's script there's some goodies, such as changing the left hand buttons on the Nook to be the Menu and Back buttons
To me, the issue with touchnooter is that it installs many things that are not very battery concious, and it ends up draining the battery too quickly... Like in a couple of days even w/o using it too much.
TouchNooter uses NookDev's noogie.img and modified RAM disk. It then enables and installs a bunch of things (e.g. install Android Market) that you'd otherwise need do manually. That's it.
They're not 2 different things; TouchNooter is an "easy" version of NookDev's hack.
This does not work with Droid X System Version .621.
(Information on this post was taken from Pete's website: http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/)
NOTE: If you were rooted on the original OTA and took the update to .602 and lost root, read the 'Droid X' notes under the how-to.

How to: One Click Root for Windows 7/Vista
1. Your phone must be connected via USB data cable to your computer and be recognized.
2. If your phone is connected, but not recognized, you may need to install one of these software drivers:
-Windows universal 32-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0
-Windows universal 64-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0
3. Download this one-click root package: PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.08.zip
4. Extract the contents of the one-click root package to a new folder on your computer.
5. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device. This should be under Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.
6. From the new folder on your computer, double-click on Pete's_Motrola_Root_Tools.exe to begin the root process.
7. Click 'Root My Phone'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Droid X Note:
Droid X Notes
Your phone may need to be in either charging mode or PC mode or you may need to toggle it a number of times for the device to recognized correctly.
If you are trying to root from the OTA Gingerbread update and you were previously rooted, you will probably experience problems with this root method because of the pre-existence of busybox and superuser.apk. For that reason, you may need to attempt both the script method (for Windows XP users) and program executable method (Windows Vista/7 users). If you are still having problems, please follow these instructions:
Open a Command Prompt in the folder where you extracted the one-click root package (see instructions for rooting). If you are using Windows 7, you can just use Shift+Right-Click on the folder you extracted the package and choose to "Open a command prompt here". For other operating systems or versions of Windows, you may require some DOS experience or need to Google how to change directories.
In the command prompt, type the following command:
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you receive any kind of error, then you may not be in the folder where you extracted ADB.exe or you may need to reboot your computer, your phone, or check the connection. You should receive an ADB prompt ending with either a # or a $.
If the line ends with a $, then run the one-click exploit for Windows XP (even if you have Windows Vista or 7) and only complete step 1.
When you have adb shell ending with a #, type the following commands:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ignore any messages that warn you about the file not being found/missing. We're removing old copies of su/superuser which are causing this one-click root method to fail.
(credit: KevlarGibs)
Additionally, during the parts of the one-click root that reboot your phone, your phone will most likely reboot into recovery instead of into the standard Android lock screen. If this is the case, simply unplug the cable and reboot the phone manually. When you are finished rebooting, plug the phone back in again. Some people have had to reboot their PC too.
Finally, some users have mentioned that the root isn't taking affect right away for all apps. Eventually, after several reboots, the phone finally takes root. We're not sure why this is (I don't have a Droid X -- I'm just re-posting this information for brevity).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please try the Windows Vista/7 method first! It will work better for most Windows XP users.
Only use this method if the other has not worked yet.

Hi I'm trying to unroot my x2 and it keeps saying Error: you are missing adb.exe, which was packaged with this program. The adb.exe is in the same folder as all of the other files i extracted to my restore folder. Any ideas?

Your preinstall is full. With Root Explorer go to preinstall/app/ and delete something (NFS). Reflash Clockwork mod. Then try again.

Finally worked up the cajones to use Pete's Tools and rooted my DX. *whew*
Doing a complete TiBu right now. Couple quick questions.......
1. Is CWM installed? If so, how does one access. If not, ROM Manager perhaps?
2. Renamed blurupdater_VZW.apk to .bak to block updates
3. Any "landmines" I should NOT uninstall?
Sorry if I sound noobish but this is my only phone number and am proceeding cautiously.

First of all, let me reassure you that anything you do to your phone can be reversed with a simple SBF. ^_^
Install ClockworkMod Recovery through Droid 2 Bootstrapper, then use ROM Manager to update it to the latest version.
There is plenty of things that you can remove that will cause issues =P It's pretty much trial and error, there are lists you can look up that will tell you what can and can't be removed, but regardless, always make a backup in CWM.

DroidX, 2.3.3, original Moto ROM, LauncherPro+
First time I did Pete's it worked perfectly.
After .605 OTA it had a problem, so I re-Peted.
Each time Pete tried to reboot the phone, I had to pull the battery. Eventually, the process finished and I had a rooted Droid. It's fast, stable, has fine battery life. TitaniumPro, QuickBoot, and other root-only tools work properly. Various things ask for Superuser permission, and I give it, and they work properly.
But the SUPERUSER app has disappeared. When I go to Market, it says "Installed". It doesn't appear on my app list, and was never frozen. It's there, but invisible.
Everything else works, so should I just leave it alone?

You should be able to find Superuser by using the search key. It's not really important to have, it just manages the superuser permissions. I think of it as a background app.
