Hello, RyanZA, first of all, thanks for this app, i got a question. How can i know if it's rooted or not. I'm using Desire HD. Thanks.

***WARNING***z4root has a TROJAN/KEY LOGGER***

My passwords to my email accounts, facebook, credit cards, bank accounts, payroll and files on my phone has been accessed and/or tampered with. It happened 2 weeks after I downloaded the z4root application.

This root program has a hidden trojan keylogger program. DO NOT DOWNLOAD and delete it if you have it!!!

I've attempted to download this file several time and I keep getting blocked, no better way to put it. My Droid X with the New Software update broke root access.

Does this work on X10? I have an unbranded Nordic 2.1.

I just want to root it to get access to the Japanese Market store, and this is apparently the way?

Oh, and since I'm a little new to these things, is it safe? Do I need to worry about things on my SD card, my messages or my contacts?

Oh, and does it have any (negative) effects on my battery?
[Android Apps and Games] theHAGGIS:
Previously rooted Dx, updated with 2.2.1. Side loaded z4mod and installed. When I run it, it gets to "Running exploit in order...." and seems to stick there the status wheel just spins and spins and spins. Are there any rooted apps that I need to make sure are uninstalled before running z4mod. Or does this just take more than 10 mins and I'm just impatient?

edit: Just let it run and run and it finally froze

Edit 2: Went into Superuser and forgot all the entries with root access, z4 mod now works. Woot.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Not surprising. The G2, MT4G and a few other devices have a nand lock. Try Visionary. Google it.
[Android Apps and Games] Phateless:
Plug in to computer via usb. Pull down notification bar and choose MOUNT. Then you use the phone as a disk drive and copy the file over. Pull down notification bar and choose UNMOUNT. Disconnect usb.

Go to the market and download a file manager, any one of them will work. I like Linda.

From home screen --> MENU --> SETTINGS --> APPLICATIONS --> check UNKNOWN APPLICATIONS.

Use the file manager you downloaded to locate the file you copied from your computer, click on it and choose INSTALL USING PACKAGE INSTALLER.

No offense but if you don't even know how to get an app from computer to phone you probably shouldn't be messing with root access. Why do you want to root anyway? It's like modifying your engine before you know how to check your oil...

The point of root access is more control over your device. If you barely know how to use it in the first place I don't understand why you would WANT the extra control?

Not talking ****, just confused. Spend some time learning how to use your phone and computer before you start modifying your system. You DO realize that you can break your phone with this stuff, right?

Will z4root presently work on D1 version 2.2.1

My D1 has been rooted for over a year. My co-worker wants me to root his D1 so he can run wireless tether. His phone is presently at OS version 2.2.1. I'm looking for a one-click solution, as I no longer have ADB installed on a pc, and quite frankly I'm not looking to spend a lot of time on his phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Master Turkey:
Worked for me. Extremely easy. One click root for my Droid 2 Global. Thank you for this app.

Also tried a few fission Roms. Some worked some didn't. The last one I tried 2.4.1 worked but had some problems with the market. I believe this is a known issue but I'm new here. I didn't like the vanilla'esc style so I used clockwork recovery (I have bootstrapped 2 but im a little confused as to which actual recovery prog I am using. It says clockwork) to recover to my original moto state.
[Android Apps and Games] evansshayne:
Not working on my D1 (2.2.1). While trying to gain root, the program closes with no error or any other notification. Phone will not do anything and needs to be rebooted for it to work.

Made sure anything in the background was closed before attempting.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] dean.d:
Tried with the latest cellular south update for the hero and everything seemed to go as planned, except it doesn't have the "flash_image" required to flash a recovery. I just stick with my batch file and setup. I just plug in my phone, double click the .bat, and oila, I'm sitting in recovery. These "root via app" applications are aren't complete. I think if you need an app to root your phone, you probably don't need to be rooted in the first place. It kind of takes away the "right of passage" feeling when you root your phone for the first time.:D
[Android Apps and Games] cybermage1:
Thank goodness for adb. I had downloaded it weeks ago for my phone and tonight needed to root my wife's phone too but it wasn't in the market anymore.

I was able to pull the apk from my phone and install it on hers without any trouble.

I'm assuming since it actually works properly on both phones that I didn't get hit with the fake version - I can adb shell and run su with no problem, and it throws a dialog any time an app asks for root and lets me give it to them.

I mainly want to use VPN and try to modify the routing table afterwards (which is why I need root).

Same thing happened with my Defy. Do you have USB Debugging enabled when you try Terminal Emulator? If not, enable it, then see if you get a popup asking to give Terminal Emulator SU permission next time you try what you did.

unrooted but still have superuser icon?

I've used this app many times to root and unroot my Droid X and it works great every time. My question is why when I unroot the superuser icon goes away when I first unroot but when I power down my phone then back on the SU icon is back in my app tray. I am unrooted because I've tried to use rooted apps but they wont work. I've never flashed any ROMs only made a backup with bootstrap recovery. The other weird thing after I unroot is my phone only boots up in the clockwork recovery menu, it will not restart like stock anymore. Is there a way to get my phone back to stock completely? HELP!!

If u put clockwork recovery it goes over your normal stock recovery. Meaning u wont get your stock recovery back, unless you rooted a vanilla stock rom that isnt messed with.

hello j have installed z4root 1.3 on my sony ericsson x10mini but don't start.

The problem is the new release of firmware of sony ericsson the 2.1-update1.

What do j do?

sorry for my english
[Android Apps and Games] tectux:
Hi.

I chose "Permanent Root" on my Samsung Spica running 2.1-update1 and everything went just fine. It didn't take more than a few moments, the phone rebooted, and z4root now gives me the option to un-root. So I guess my phone is rooted now.

I went on and installed Superuser and Android Terminal Emulator from the Market. First I open the Superuser app to make sure it's running. Next, I fire up the terminal and execute the su command. It returns "Permission denied". Since I did not get any request for superuser access whatsoever, I'm stuck.

Any advice?

Edit: I actually used version 1.3.0 from this thread.

I'm a complete n00b to Android, had my x10 mini pro less than a week. The first thing I did when I got it home was to update to 2.1 update-1. Yesterday I decided to try and get rid of the built in "apps" I don't want. I googled and came across this forum.

I discovered I needed to root my phone to accomplish this. I downloaded and installed z4root v1.3 and hit the button to temporarily root the phone. It worked!

Was able to then install Titanium Backup to delete the apps I didn't want.

So, despite seeing these posts that it's not possible to root the new update, it has worked for me....

could not get it to work on my stock evo.

Downloaded the apk and let it run its course, then selected the temporary root. Then after it finished i went to the market and downloaded wireless tether app and it told me i did not have root and it would not work.

Then i opened super user and it told me i had an out of date something or other and it downloaded a zip and told me to boot in recovery mode. Well, being a root noob, this is far beyond a "one click" root, so i gave up.

any help would be appreciated!

@cabrone1,

Same thing happened to me 4 days ago.... I'm an old, newb, and, I can't jump over, under and through hoops to get root to freeze Sprint bloatware... I'll wait for the new and improved, Z4Root v. 1.3.456?
[Android Apps and Games] cabrone1:
Have you been able to find a decent how to? Also, did you have any issue with the super user thing?
[Android Apps and Games] AppleR112:
@Cabrone1

A decent how to for Z4 Root? Nope.... Although on android forum, I was asked to verify root with Root Explorer. That gave me the same answer that I received with Titanium Backup..."No root access".

I may be wrong in my understanding, but, I think that was is plaguing us as well those who used Unrevoked 3 (up until 12/31) is that the last update changed the HBOOT from what may have been .97 rootable, to 2.02 - 2.10 unrootable. Somebody here will probably chime in with a better understanding. I have though read that the "Unrevoked" Team has got the problem solved. Search "Rooting For Dummies + Extras" on this forum.

And, yes, I had the same problem with the "SU".
[Android Apps and Games] cabrone1:
Damn. I hope to be able to use this but I guess I'll wait for the dev to reply
