Hi, since im going to send back to my seller my phone, because of hardware issues,in thinking in flashing this rom :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857974

and so, i want to unroot, and leave exactly as stock is

will the unroot program work? im worried because of this in the main topic :

" If you rooted using another process you can use this process to un-root as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox."

And a last question, i know its kinda OT put, its possible to remove CWR boot screen?

Sorry for being a newbie :(

anyone else had a problem rooting with superoneclick after flashing to KB1 stock rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] boardbunny_79:
when i select reinstall packages, it says...

-finding update package

-opening update package

-verifying update package

e:signature verification failed

installation aborted

What does that mean?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
i'm assuming you updated to 2.2 using kies. the old root techniques for 2.1 on vibrant doesn't work anymore. EASIEST way for you to root is to odin back to jfd and then install whatever rom you want.

OR

you can follow this guide.
[Vibrant Android Development] boardbunny_79:
how do i do that with odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] stevedawg85:
Did the re-install packages work for you? You ever get it working? Should I reinstall from the same recovery or reboot it every time and reinstall packages?

I also rooted a long time ago but forgot what I used to root it. Will this un-root work for me?

edit: right when I post this, I tried reinstall packages and sure enough it worked!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
please search for one of the multitude of howto odin guides in the xda vibrant section. it's not a benefit to you to ask to be spoon fed.
[Vibrant Android Development] boardbunny_79:
sorry, i meant to ask if it was a computer program. I have found out alot of information. Thanks for your help!
[Vibrant Android Development] D.J.CaSpER:
OK when I tried to unroot it fails. it says error status 7

Then this app is not for you. It's for the new guys. All for one and All rooted :p

And come on guys if you are experienced please don't continue to chime out. Just skip this thread. Several of our newer android brothers have enjoyed the app and rooted only because it is here.

Just trying to do a service.

Obviously I can root my phone easy as well as using root explorer to unroot as easy as the rest of you that can.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
Yeah TGA, though I don't see a use for this myself, I appreciate your work. Many people will want a program like this. keep up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Let's get a java version going. So people not on windows can do this.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Nope the next port is going to be in Pascal.

:p
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Just run the batch files rootme.bat and unrootme.bat easily converted to shell script.
[Vibrant Android Development] davbran:
I agree, I was just letting them know there is an alternative, this is my fourth phone I've been working on and while I like your tool, it probably won't work for my fifth or their second :) knowledge is power.
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
Thanks for putting this out there. Now when my friends ask me to root their Vibrant I can just tell them to download this instead of bothering me, lol.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] Doon22:
thank you for this!!!!!!!!!! I was the noob/newb that asked for it in the beginning. Awesome! root and unroot buttons are great!

thank you again.

let me know how i can contribute with some GUI stuff if you ever need it.

Problem

When I try to open up the one click root it gives me an error saying that it is unable to launch. Any help?:confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Changed app link to Megaupload. easyshare sucked.
[Vibrant Android Development] cparekh:
This is great. Thanks for making. When I get asked to root, sending people a link to the OP makes my life soooo much easier.

Will there be a port for my abacus, or, at least, my Babbage difference engine?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Follow the supplied link and install .Net framework 4 update for Windows.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
If you want i can put it in my drop box. and you can link to it.

error copying update.zip to sd card

Would somebody please upload the /sdcard/update.zip to the forum? For some reason, I get an error "failed to copy 'root.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission Denied."

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here; I have tried the process several times and have usb debugging enabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
watch the video link
[Vibrant Android Development] caldjeff:
Great stuff! Works like a charm is you follow the instructions. Thanks for your efforts.
[Vibrant Android Development] MJ384:
Got it to work. Had to download the update.zip from another source; copied it over to the Vibrant, ran the one click utility and now rooted. Still don't understand why access was denied copying the file from computer to phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr. Moe:
Great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] tsnow247:
Had a small problem. When I clicked root it gave me some error about jit.

Doesn't make any sense to me. Do you have any other suggestions?

edit: Got it to work. Had to open the app as administrator. ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] stolen_pillow:
Thanks for this! Worked great. I couldn't get it to boot into recovery at all before and this really helped a lot.
[Vibrant Android Development] rjwisniewski:
Very cool. Haven't played with rooting Android since my old G1, just got my Vibrant today. I'm going to root "by hand", but it's awesome to see stuff like this being developed. We've come a long way from when I was learning to root. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Novek:

[Vibrant Android Development] ayoraider07:
V6 works on brand new vibrant, v5 had FC issue, hardest part was holding power + vol up + vol down, held all the buttons while the phone tried to boot/reboot(like 4 times) before I let go of the buttons, then it went to recovery.. GREAT WORK!!
[Vibrant Android Development] pheltzer:
Stupid Newbie Question

Okay, this is I'm sure a stupid question, but once I have root access on the phone, will I still be able to receive OTA updates? Or will I have to unroot to get the OTA's?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
OP Updated now supports:

I9000

Captivate

Vibrant

I9000M
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
OP Updated hope it answers your questions on rooting.
[Vibrant Android Development] Aggiehiker:
So I followed the instructions on page 1 and rooted my phone. It worked and my phone is rooted, however now it randomly thinks the USB is connected to the computer when it is not. The notification bar will say it is connected, then disconnect and scan for media. It keeps cycling back and forth between. I can not access the phone from my computer now.

The phone is brand-new and rooted straight out of the box. I am a newb so any help is greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
that's not happening from rooting. rooting just copies three files to your system and thry do nothing until used. did you load a rom? try rebooting. You might have a bad sdcard. try reseating it or reformatting it. Back it pu first using a card reader if you have to.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
question would this method unlock the bootloader?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
no method does anything to the bootloader. On the Galaxy S /system is read/write so placing the su busybox and superuser app on the phone is simple. all rooting does just that and nothing more on the stock OS.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
gr8 another question will i be able to get updates?
[Vibrant Android Development] Aggiehiker:
I id not load a rom, just rooted it and added the following apps ShootMe, RootExplorer and Pandora.

Going to try with a different microSd card. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
thanks for the program. i have done it yet, but i cant wait to get home and root this BABY!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
Thanks so much. I am a complete nubie and I have just rooted my Vibrant!!! Thanks to you. One question, I downloaded ROM manager and clicked on back up current ROM and it went into clockworkmod recovery and rebooted and then the second time i clicked on backup currnet rom it backed up everything. Have I entered into a situation where I will not recieve OTA and if so what would I have to do to go back to the stock situation? I have only rooted and installed ROM manager and have not installed any other ROMS. As mentioned above I did back up with ROM manager and I guess I am in Clockworkmod recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. How would I contribute for your fine work?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
you will still receive ota if you just rooted stock phone. but if you load a rom you will need to restore the nandroid backup you too to get ota.
[Vibrant Android Development] shootr:
Thanks TGA. A very painless root, and you've filled in some blanks with your explanations. It's much appreciated!
[Vibrant Android Development] Janis:
OP, can you list what kernel and what versions of su and busybox are included? I like how easy (read: error free) this is, but if I try some different hacks, I might run into trouble if I don't have this info.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] DKYang:
Gotta say thanks. Much easier and quicker than the G1 days. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Updated App to include support for Mac. Also added additional information.

Upgraded Superuser to 2.3.1 and busybox to 1.17.1
[Vibrant Android Development] pinoiryder:
new with this android os.. But i just tried using the mac version and its not doing anything.. says missing sd/root.zip?.. any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Fixed it I had a typo on the name of my root.zip file. Give it a go.
[Vibrant Android Development] pinoiryder:
thanks

thanks but found another way to get update.zip to copy on the internal sd card.. i was having problem with my mac to recognized my SD/Internal card.. now more reading to come for me..
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Nice mac gui :)

Great work on that.
[Vibrant Android Development] mystycs:
I have a question, if i root my phone just on the stock os, i can unroot it without having to reinstall my android right? And it will be back to normal as though i never rooted? But if i install a new rom, and root it. Then ill have to install the stock rom right?

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Rooting stock and unrooting will take you back to stock. No other changes make until you start flashing other stuff on. flashing a rom or update that uses symlinks for busybox adding extra commands to the Operating System could cause an issue unless you remove all symlinks using root explorer app or from a shell.

I would suggest you do a nandroid backup from rom manager of you system rooted with stock only so you can revert back to that if needed.
[Vibrant Android Development] InAnimateAlpha:
Thank you so much for your work on the One Click root for the Vibrant. I just did it and it was very smooth and fast. The longest part was installing the drivers which is an entirely separate process.

Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] Muy5:
Anyone know if this will work for the Bell Mobility (Canada) Vibrant as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Yes It will.
[Vibrant Android Development] rpritch:
I have a GT-I9000M (Bell Canada Vibrant).

After I press "One Click Root", my phone gives me 4 options (reboot system now, apply sdcard: update.zip, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition). I do not get a "reinstall packages" option. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] lbingham:
I tried the method here to root my phone, but for whatever reason, I couldn't get to recovery on my phone from the vol+/- and power combo. My girlfriend has the same phone and it worked on hers, but not mine.

Frustrated, I tried this method and it worked great! Just wanted to drop a thanks and state the relevance for options!
[Vibrant Android Development] gmonies21:
Hello, I will be receiving my T-mobile galaxy s vibrant in a few days and have never owned an android device and would like to know if the firmware must be updated when i receive the phone prior to rooting it?? If not, then should I update to a new firmware first (thats assuming there is a new firmware out) ??
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
apply sdcard: update.zip = reinstall packages

apply sdcard: update.zip = I9000, I9000M and Epic 4G

reinstall packages = vibrant and captivate
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr Mufakka:
Question for doing this on a Mac, specifically this step...

Eject both the internal and external SD card from your computer and turn off USB storage in the notification area.

When I connect my phone, I get two "drives" than appear on my desktop. "Vibrant" & "Untitled". I would assume the Vibrant is the phone and the Untitled is the SD card. Do I eject both of these?

I've tried doing it after ejecting both and when it boots in the recovery mode, I select "Reinstall packages". I then get an error that reads "cannot find sdcard/update.zip" or something to that effect.

Also, in the Windows instructions, you instruct to download the samsung drivers. Is this not needed in the Mac procedure? The only file needed is the OneClickRootMac.zip file?

Sorry for the n00b questions.

UPDATE: Ok, after some looking around, all I did was download the update file and then just dropped in on the Vibrant "drive" on my desktop. When I ran the one click root program this time and selected reinstall packages, it worked. Now to install that clockwork program and then onto the lag and gps fix. Fingers crossed!
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
just a quick question. would it be possible to unroot by removing the 4 files mentioned in the op using root explorer? as usual, thanks for the great dev support op!
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
yes
[Vibrant Android Development] nateblack:
ive rooted a few phones traditionally before and am showing this to a friend and the mac app does not seem to copy anything over to the sd card. i click root and it just puts it into recovery and recover files can not find the update. im sure if i manually put the update there everything will be fine but as it is right now, it doesnt seem like the mac version actually does anything except reboot to recovery :/
[Vibrant Android Development] backward0:
If you don't eject the phones internal storage the mac root application works.... you still need to eject the external sd card though

i haven't tried unrooting. dont plan to either. if you eject both it doesn't seem to copy the update.zip to the internal storage. dont forget to back up a recovery image!
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
a new ver is ready ill throw it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shin0chan:
I used this to root my phone but I don't seem to have root access? It said it installed the update.zip in the recovery menu. What am i missing?
[Vibrant Android Development] Mr Mufakka:
Yikes. I'm in a bit of a bind.

I did this root a few nights ago and then proceeded to do the lag fix by Tayutama. Everything has worked fine until tonight. I noticed a bit of lag so I did the Quadrant test. Sure enough, my 2200+ score was back down to 1100. I noticed the script app icon was gone from up top in my taskbar (I couldn't remember if it was a notification or an ongoing program). Anyway, I decided to run the script again. It started and then hung. I tried powering off the phone but to not avail. I removed the battery and then restarted. Then phone now will not get past the Galaxy S screen.

I've seen some posts about going into the download mode, ODIN, etc but wanted to find out if this was infact the thing to do. I can get the phone to power up in the download mode (although it won't get past the yellow android screen that reads downloading, not sure if I need ODIN installed to connect?) and the recovery screen but I'm unsure the steps I need to take. I ALMOST clicked on the Erase all user data but figured I'd post here first. Please help.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
loved it, thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] zorxd:
Wow, so clean! Looks like this device was made to be rooted. Did you need to hack a special key so sign the update.zip file?
[Vibrant Android Development] tomasitoc:
I followed the unlocker video instructions. I downloaded/installed the samsung drivers. I am using 32bit windows vista. Before I connected the vibrant , I made sure that the USB debugging was checked.

once connected - it did not show what drivers have been loaded, it just said that the device is ready for use.

I did not continue with the rooting procedure, for fear that I might brick the phone, I just had the phone for less than 10 days.

Should I just ignore this, and continue with the root procedure
[Vibrant Android Development] aretwo:
I did the mac way and two things. When i plug my vibrant (bell) into my mac i dont get the icons on my desktop so i cant eject them. So when i do root my phone in the recovery screen it says package cant be installed or something like that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Puushiki:
Will you be doing a one-click root for when 2.2 is out?
[Vibrant Android Development] Heroic_Kaizer:
If I have superuser permission on my phone (the icon is different from the one on the video) and i installed titanium backup and it said Root is OK. This means my I9000M is rooted correct? I can install the 2.2 Froyo JP3 firmware?
[Vibrant Android Development] lucky 69:
should be, you can check by downloading terminal emulator from the market.then open it and type type su, if the prefix changes from $ to # you're root if not then you're not. but if you got the superuser permission icon you should be good to go!the first is just another way to check! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Heroic_Kaizer:
I used titanium backup and it said Root Access=> OK

Is that good to check too?
[Vibrant Android Development] zorxd:
No need for .NET framework. Just run the .bat file directly instead of the .exe

thanks, works well. Suggestion for next version however: maybe it could be a good idea to create busybox links? Or it is too intrusive?
[Vibrant Android Development] minicris:
Sorry I am new to this

I got the bell samsung galaxy S ....would this method work on it ?

Mine one cannot do the 3 button to recovery mode.

please advise
[Vibrant Android Development] coolshades:
I do have a problem I hope someone can help me. I ran into a problem unrooting using the one click unroot.

I was able to root by one click root. I was able to also unroot using one click unroot. Then, I rooted again, and downloaded ROM manager. However, I did NOT do anything with ROM manager, except I clicked on it, didn't changed anything, and pressed the home key back to the main menu. I also did NOT do any other modification. I decided to return the phone to Tmobile because of the gps issues. I uninstalled ROM manager. I tried to one click unroot, but it keeps giving me error "failed to copy 'unroot.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip' Permission denied."

What did I do wrong? Please help. TIA

Cool

P.S. Can I download a terminal emulator and type the following, exactly as is?

su

rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm -r /system/xbin/busybox

rm -r /system/bin/su

Do I need to use adb shell? If so, how do I install adb shell?
[Vibrant Android Development] nateblack:
ah yeah thanks, that seems to make sense. the problem isnt with the unroot package then, its with this step:

but i'm not going to verify because i already went the long route to root but if anyone is having trouble with the mac app they can see this post
[Vibrant Android Development] aliabkad:
Thanks it works, even with the newer samsung vibrant, you can not reboot to recovery by holding up and down volume key.Just follw the instructions. cool.
[Vibrant Android Development] rjmjr69:
Does not work on the Samsung epic.

[Vibrant Android Development] helpme1986:
didnt work for me, same as other one click root. Seems to root ok and says complete (even thought it was really quick flashing and the progress bar in the background only went to about 10%) Superuser Permissions app was in the app drawer but had no access to root.

Does this delete ANY applications or any information CURRENTLY ON the phone? Or just installs those apps as stated before?
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
read the op it's all there.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tyxerakias:
No, it deletes nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Sealegg:
I have tried everything besides voodoo now. I have installed the one click, have the drivers installed, have .net 4, my phone simply WILL NOT reboot when I run this program. I am open to any and all suggestions. For the record my phone is part of the batch that you can't use the hardware buttons to boot to recovery, so that is out as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] ashshlay:
Does your device show connected when you hook it up to your computer?

I had two issues in the past that I had to workaround.

1) usb debugging not being checked and then I mounted the sd card by accident

2) wrong drivers for my x64 pc

I also have a newer version of the vibrant that won't respond to the hardware recovery method but you should be able to get this to work like I did.

You can look into doing it via ADB which isn't as hard as it sounds.

If your drivers are installed correctly then you'll be able to use ADB and reboot recovery quite easily then apply update.zip from other threads without one click root program.

Good luck and don't give up.
