I'm just one more of the ones that got tired of the rollover process, so I used the brazalian generic (yeah now im stock with the keyboard issue) the thing is I founded the z4root.1.3.0 it goes all way ok process (...well seams) then with the root explorer I just don't see the mount option?

Any ideas? other solution? :confused:

Verizon Samsung Galaxy Fix?

Does rooting the Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy tablet fix some of the bluetooth issues? Reading the reviews on Amazon, it appears the Verizon version has a bunch of bluetooth capabilities disabled. Will rooting it unlock some of these capabilities?

Thanks,

z4root not working for x10 Mini E10a 2.1-update1

I've tried z4Root on my x10 Mini E10a 2.1-update1 (Rogers, in Canada), with no luck. It chugs along for a few seconds, then disappears. When holding the home button it shows the 6 app "task manager" - one of the apps is "z4root phase 1". After that, clicking on the z4root app no longer brings it up - it seems to be frozen in the background.

I've tried rooting with Superoneclick v1.5.5 as well (including all the various tricks people have tried) - also without success.

Perhaps the rageagainstthecage approach is somehow blocked in this version of SE's x10 mini software. If anyone has any insights, I'd greatly appreciate them.
[Android Apps and Games] Larsologie:
Thanx! Works fine on X10i I tried SuperOneClick but that looped 'waiting for device'.

Only thing with Z4root is that it doesn't automatically install BusyBox, but after doing that manually it works like a charm... so far :p

Hello I'm using the Huawei Ascend M860 by Cricket Wireless, running Android 2.1 update1. I downloaded version 1.1.0 and 1.3.0 and when I tried to open it on my Android it says error parsing package. I REALLY need to root my phone so I can use the WiFi tethering because I dont have broadband at home right now it really sucks.
[Android Apps and Games] Cell55:
I have z4root working.. usually whe. U get a parse error it just means the. .apk file is corrupted.. ie. It didnt fully download.. also want to install a different app installer.. i use one called installer and it serves it purpose.. it automatically searches for uninstalled .apk's and brings up a list or u can search.. I'm a noob with my ascend i hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] xdjstarrx:
Ok, downloaded Easy Installer and got z4root installed (re-downloaded the .apk right to my sd card from this thread via the XDA app which I also just got). But now the problem im having is that the device is not rooted after it reboots. :-(

Is there something else I need to download or do?

[Android Apps and Games] girlymissjulie:
This happened to me when I was rooting my Droid X (although mine is still on 2.3.15), I just backed out of z4root, rebooted the phone and went back into z4root and ran it again and it was rooted in seconds after that. Also, every time I've tried to run z4root with wifi on it doesn't work, so be sure your wifi is off.
[Android Apps and Games] userxx21:
just done it on my hew htc desire hd and it worked. it said that it was going to reboot but doesn't seem able to. i read on the thread that someone had waited for an hour and then pressed back and rebooted manualy and it had worked so i waited no more than 5 minutes and did the same and it has worked

nice one, spot on, all the other methods didn't work but this just took 10 minutes start to finish, tidy

I am not able to get Z4 mod to work on my Samsung Captivate recently upgraded to Froyo 2.2 using Samsung Captivate Froyo 2.2 compiled version. Z4 goes thru all steps, but it never reboots, and it quits back to applications page.

Z4 mod did work with a different version of Froyo 2.2 (not samsung released).

Question: Can I get a hold of the source code? What programming language is it written on? And is there any way to step/debug thru the code? If it is all based on UNIX shell scripting, can we have the list of shell scripts used, so we can try to run them on the device?

z4root doesn't root my continuum

z4root doesn't work on my Verizon Samsung continuum. It just keeps saying "running exploit in order to obtain root access..." It stays like that for what seems like forever then the screen disappears and I'm back at the menu screen. Nothing reboots, no messages, nada. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What am I missing or doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] m0viestar:
Hey, New guy here. I just downloaded z4root today and ran it on my phone, it auto reboot its self and superuser was installed and I was able to give autokiller privileges, but when you open autokiller it says ROOT required for full functionality. When I open z4 again it also only gives me the option to Root. I thought there would be an Unroot function, provided I have to send my phone back for any reason.

Did I do something wrong? I read the instructions about a million times.

edit: I have a droid r2d2, trying to get root to uninstall all this bloatware. I rebooted after installing the app, and before running it. Then it rebooted its self after completion.

Hi Everyone,

For some reason many people have to run Z4Root many times (4-5+?) before it finally "takes", so don't give up until you've tried it a number of times and it doesn't work. The last time I used it, it took 3 or 4 times on my Droid X before root "took".

For some of you who obtained root on your phone, but still can't do things like remove stock apps, you haven't obtained full root. Only shell root. I think that on the Evo, and a few others, you can get shell root access, but full root requires unrevoked.

Just to let you know, if you have a T-Mobile Optimus T and you update the firmware to V10s, z4root doesn't work anymore. It updates the system to Android 2.2.2, and I'm assuming blocks the exploit.

Kernel version is 2.6.32.9, if that's any help.
