Is it possible to root the phone without using PC?
I would like to get rid of some vodaphone bloat but my PC is a work PC with admin rights I don't have acces to.

I've searched this forum for answers, but I wasn't able to find one for my particular situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab that I would like to use as a wifi hotspot (wifi tethering, or whatever you want to call it). I do not want to tether this to another device that is running as a hotspot; I want the Tab to be the hotspot as this is the only device I own that can do this. I believe (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that I need to root it and install a different wpa_supplicant module to be able to set up the hotspot mode. I looked at installing z4root, but AT&T has disabled downloading that via the Market and also from running non-Market apps from the device (I tried putting z4root on the device via USB mass storage mode and running it with Astro file manager). Next, I tried using SuperOneClick by installing Mono for OSX (yes, I use a Mac) and running SOC from the command line using sudo, however "rageagainstthecage" failed to run and the process failed. I've searched for more information on the forums and I can't find anything so I'm asking for help getting the tab working as a hotspot. If I've made a mistake in my understanding, feel free to correct me. I don't own a Windows machine, so that's not an option for me. I have a Linux machine, however I'd really like to get this working on OSX as several of my friends and colleagues are in the same situation as me and only have OSX. Thanks in advance!

How? It seems that they don't make Kies for OS X (or not that I can find), and as I said before I'm not able to root it via z4root or SuperOneClick.
Hello to all,
I'm a new Android user that has recently migrated from Windows Mobile 6.1. I have downloaded this FRX06_Full_Bundle_25.3.2011.zip and successfully installed it on my SD Card. This distribution works OK, but there are some minor issues I need to fix. So I need a root access to my phone. And here comes the problem how to do it.
I read several articles over the internet how to root your phone but all of them are about phones where Andoid is installed in the ROM. Moreover - they require USB access to the phone. And I have problems finding the correct USB drives or my phone USB does not work.
So could you point me an article that explains how to root my phone when Android is installed on the SD Card. Is there a way to do it by mounting the SD card on my laptop via the card reader. I want to avoid using the USB port.

Are you trying on Windows or Linux?
Did you install ADB on your pc already?
Did you enable developers access on the android?
I think you need to provide a little bit more info.
Yea, sorry about that.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit. Currently I'm unable to find suitable drivers...
I have enabled the developers access on my phone, but the drivers problem wouldn't let me root my phone using the conventional approach.
So I'm wondering is there any other way to root the phone that does not include the USB port...
The build comes rooted out of the box. There's nothing additional you need to do in order to root.
You should probably read the FAQ if want more info on adb.
adb is not required for root access. Again, FRX06 comes rooted, nothing needs to be done to 'root' this build.
arrrghhh, thanks for the help. Indeed the distribution is rooted by default. I have confirmed this with the terminal application.
I have a problem with the Samba Filesharing (funkyFresh). The app website states states that the telephone is not rooted or Superuser not installed (I have already installed this). That's why I have tried to "root" my phone...

In the most case, you will need driver for it to work properly.
- if you connect your phone to the pc as a usb storage, you will need only general usb driver, that commonly available in any pc (if the windows has been properly installed)
- if you connect to the pc to use with some specific softwares (e.g. Kies 3 or Odin), you will need Samsung usb driver, that can obtain over the Internet...
If you have wifi connection on both PC and phone at home or office, you can use Airdroid app. Really easy to use.
is it possible to install a ssh app on the nvidia, if its rooted
so i can access remotely via macbook to transfer / copy files?
I would suggest sideloading SSHDroid, which can operate in root and non-root (ports above 1024). You'll possibly (i.e. definitely) have to fiddle round with mouse and/or keyboard to get it to work the way you want though. Oddly the unlocker 'key' app wouldn't side load for me, so I don't get the unlocked benefits (and yes, I've paid for the unlocker).

ah is there any non keyboard mouse method - or app? i want to basically access the files to transfer into the android folder / obb etc
and connect from a mac computer
I need to root my phone to recover a deleted file*, but it won't connect to my laptop with a USB (I can barely get it to charge and have a Mac) and the KingoRoot app doesn't work either.
*more specifically, I need to root so I can use Stellar Phoenix to recover a deleted file from my Galaxy Watch 3
You really need a PC to root your device.

The phone won't connect physically.
