Team,

This One-Click Root process will copy over the rooted-update.zip or unroot-update.zip file then reboot your phone. Follow the instructions in the CMD prompt that launches.​

This has been tested on stock Android 2.1 Eclair only. If you rooted using another process you can use this process to unroot as long as you didnt load a rom that created links to busybox.

For the following models:

GT-I9000

Captivate SHG-I897

Vibrant SGH-959

GT-I9000M

Epic SPH-D700 (Untested but should work like other phones. Post with your results. This is harmless it will either work or it wont. It copies over 3 files to your existing build.)​

Rooting adds the following to your system and unrooting removes them:

/system/xbin/busybox (version 1.17.1)

/system/xbin/su

/system/app/Superuser.apk (version 2.3.1)

and links /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su​

More will follow as they are released. PM me to add your Galaxy S Model.

Warning: I am not responsible for bricked phones, rooting can void your warranty....

Done! You are rooted.

Un-Rooting Instructions:

To Un-Root follow the same instructions except click on the Un-root button. 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. I would suggest to restore you phone back to stock ROM before even needing to unroot and if you are on stock un-root all you want otherwise what is the point of un-rooting.
