FYI, If your an ACS DroidX customer, this gave me Problems. Tried multiple times to get z4root to work. I got it to install the app, though it went through several power cycles, and randomly crashed a few times, then started working normally. It looked like everything was normal. When I would tap "permanent root" the app would get to what looked like step 2 "aquiring shell" and then just drop out and go back to the home screen. If I tried to open z4 again, it would say, Application has stopped working, Force Close. I tried every setting, I tried toggling usb modes, I tried doing a factory reset, and several reboots, battery pulls, etc. No Luck. My first attempt to root a device...

I did manage to get the One Click Root app from Petes Motorola Root Tools to work flawlessly the first try, so now Im a seasoned one click veteran... yeah, Im a hacker now, I can download a app, and ....... lol.

Thank you! The first time I rooted my Huawei Ascend M860 z4mod worked great- one click done. I just recently upgraded to froyo and since I backed up all my apps/info with Titanium Backup I was guesting all I have to do now is re-root my phone to obtain access again, right? For some reason my phone can't get rooted... It stays on "attempting to obtain rooting rights" or something of the sort. I left it doing that for a very long while almost the day. btw I also tried rooting a Huawei Ascend M835 and it also was unable to get rooted. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

I installed z4root on my Cherry Mobility Tablet model M-677 with Android 4.0. Did a temporary root and rebooted... And when it came back up, it seemed my tablet had reset. None of my old stuff was in the menu (though a quick browsing with it connected to my PC showed all the directories were still there). Added to that, an actual manual factory reset doesn't work (I get the picture of the droid laying down with an exclamation mark over him) and also when I try to install z4root again it says there's no space for it to install. I'm pretty much at a loss, so any help would be appreciated.

Z4Root on Incredibile 2

Hi All,

FYI. Can't seem to get it to work with an Incredible 2 (2.2.4). The version is 1.3.0 and offers two options from the main screen. Temporary Root or Permanent Root. I chose Temporary Root and it displays status messages on the bottom.

Status Messages:

1) Running exploit in order to obtain root access...

and then

2) Acquiring root shell...

It then just exits with no messages. Tried to run Titanium but tells me it can't gain root access.

Regards,

Doug

What about alternatives

Hi so I have a LG Optimus 2x that's not being picked up by the pc at all so super one click is not an option.

I have downloaded and installed Z4ROOT and this just sits at running exploit in order to obtain root access with the little circle going round and round. It then after some time either goes back to the home screen or reboots my phone. Busybox Installer tells me my phone is rooted (can't install busybox with the installer due to lacking network access), Titanium Backup says it is not a restart does not change anything.

Does anyone know of or even better point me to a link to webpage or actual apkthat will work for the Optimus 2x I am on Android 2.2.2 the phone is new and a replacement for my other O2x that I killed recently and can't get fixed (by me have a offer to have someone look at it for me so hopefully I may still salvage this other phone).

My old O2x was rooted and this was done by a on phone app and is seemingly the only way I am going to get it rooted without getting it to work on a pc which seems at this stage impossible (as the apx drivers won't install and the device is not recogised under windows 7 64 or 32 bit).

I'm really confused why this thread is still alive. Can't any of you geniuses figure out that this hasn't been updated in almost three years so the odds of it working on anything at this point are so vanishingly small as to be almost non existent.
[Android Apps and Games] jtbthatsme:
The obvious reason

It's pretty obvious why the threads still going. People still want to root their phones not all of us have phones that start off on ICS or JB and rely on either our carriers to update them or places like this to get off Froyo and Gingerbread. This app has worked in the past and for Froyo and Gingerbread still may work on some devices. Take for example the O2x came out in 2011 still available to buy in many stores here where I am from.

How about actually offering advice instead of criticism if you have something to offer then do so if not then don't as pepole are obviously wanting to hear from people who are actually willing to help and or offer genuine advice. Like me I want a alternative to this since this appears not work on my O2X and my pc will not pick up the device so I need a on phone app to root it instead.

However that's not my question

So anyway that's fantastic that you've pointed out something that's stated numerous times about what it will and won't work on. My question is what other on phone app based alternatives are there??? I don't care that it doesn't work I just want something that will like I've used before just can't remember the name of the app I used.

If anyone can help out by giving the name of or a link to a on phone app like Z4Root that will root your phone from on your phone I have no connectivity to a pc to use superoneclick or any other option I just want a app. I know they're out there as have used one successfully for my model phone (lg o2x) and all the scrawling through google and other sites I can not find any links so am trying to get help here on XDA like many others have.

But look what devices people are trying this on... a Galaxy Note? S3? There is ways to root that thing in its forum.

Re: HTC EVO

Hi guys,

I ran w/ debugging mode activated on my 2.2 "froyo" evo. I saw earlier someone posted a reply saying that only the root only allowed shell and not a full root. Is unrevoked the easiest way to apply a full root? I don't really mind the sense UI, but would like to remove the sprint "bloatware" that comes with the phone. I tried unrevoked, and I selected HTC sync on my phone when it was plugged in via usb (htc sync was not installed on my computer). The program just displayed the initial message and nothing happened. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Does not work on Ally. Tried three times. BusyBox is saying no root.

The first time it said applying root for maybe 2 seconds, then rebooted. The second time, it took about 5 minutes, then said applying root, rebooted. Third time, it all happened in about 2 seconds again. Still no root.

EDIT: I'm pretty new with all this rooting stuff, so if someone could kindly answer this question, that would be great. Since I attempted to root using z4, I now have superuser on my phone. I downloaded busybox as mentioned in an above post to see if my phone was rooted. It says it is not. Now I have superuser on my phone, that I cannot uninstall, and I just read on another forum that you have superuser on your phone, your phone IS rooted. So my question is, is my phone rooted or not?

Hey ryanza is this an update.zip? Can't see how it could be anything else as an app. If so.. it wont unroot Korean galaxy s cause our recovery mode has no update option.

BTW like your lag fix since we don't have a large community in English to test and port kernels and such.
