Tried on my Droid Froyo2.2 and it *doesn't* seem to work.

I've been prompted for enabling the USB debugging, then the spinning wheel keeps whirling while the text says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access..."

I don't know if it's helpful or not, but I've noticed the movement of the spining wheel is not uniform, but it slows down randomly... is it doing something in the background?

Worked great on my D2! Missed my rooted D1, was afraid to root until now with the D2. Now I want to apply themes and roms again. Do I need to deodex and run koush's bootstrap? If so can someone point me where to start that process or how to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] ntropia:
An update: the app froze the phone after 5 minutes of trying to use the exploit for gaining privileges. I've had to remove the battery of the phone, and at the reboot, nothing changed.

EDIT: OK, I've tried once more. The rooting process worked fine, but after the automatic reboot, nothing changed. I've tried the busybox installation from the market, and the installer says the phone is not rooted.

If there's any log file or details I can provide for helping the developers, I'll be happy to do it.

[Android Apps and Games] ntropia:
...and it works now, after three attempts with the version on the forum, then finally with the one available on the market (1.2.1, if I'm not wrong).

It didn't installed BusyBox, but I've done it manually and it seems that DROID 1 WORKS.

Thanks for the awesome work, guys.

Rooting Droid 2 Global with z4Root

Sure did. It works.

First try failed, just hung there for about 20 minutes. I pulled the battery, made sure USB debugging was enabled and tried again.

Got root. Had to manually install BusyBox (2 attempts), but everything looks good.

Looks like Rom Manager / Clockwork Recovery doesn't work out the gates but I'm still messing around with it.

[Android Apps and Games] Bierfreund:
Unfortunatelly does not work on the Archos 70 Internet Tablet (2.1 Eclair).

As there is no other rooting method for the Archos 70 yet (i also tried SuperOneClick without success), it would be awesome if RyanZA or someone else could help.

The Archos has an extra menu in the settings dialogue: "Device storage & USB connection". You can set the USB connection mode to "Mass storage drive (UMS)" or "Debug bridge (ADB)" there. The normal setting for USB Debugging also exists.

Z4root only recognizes USB Debugging as enabled when I set USB connection mode to "Mass storage drive (UMS)" and active USB Debugging.

adb does not work with this setting, it does only work, when I set USB connection mode to "Debug bridge (ADB)".

When I try to root with z4root (USB connection mode set to "Mass storage drive (UMS)", USB Debugging turned on, otherwise it's not possible to start z4root)

The device reboot after "Attempting to apply root..."

Maybe the problem are the mounts on the Archos:

It didn't work on the myTouch 4G.

It stopped on the screen that said "Please wait while root completes and your device is rebooted...".

I left it on this screen for ~30 minutes, then I manually restarted the phone. Checked for root access, just to be sure, no go. Tried z4root again and it stopped at the same place. Let it sit for another 30 minutes, manual restart, still no root.

Will I Be Able to Receive OTA Updates

I'm totally interested in Rooting my Vibrant, installing lag fix, and wifi tethering. That's it. I'm just worried that when 2.2 is pushed out to us, I won't be able to get the OTA. Does anyone (maybe the dev) if the system is left intact enough to allow me to receive an OTA? Otherwise I might just suffer with what I have and wait a while.

Thanks.

I think Hero should be marked as a 50/50. I'm not new to rooting and no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to root my Hero. I ended up using OneClick and that worked perfect. After which I did a manual root using Android SDK and a recovery image. That seemed to work best.
[Android Apps and Games] Darkonus:
Excellent tool ... worked on my Witstech A81E Android 2.2-1102 tablet perfectly.

Even though I can root my tablet within a few minutes anymore using ADB commands because of all the practice I've had ... this is definitely a much easier way than using the Android SDK & ADB commands to root it anyway, & is easy enough for even a complete noob to use too. Thanks Much!!! :D

Since rooting my Droid X 2 days ago, I'm unable to save phone numbers that I've called, or tried to type in. It goes as far as the "Save to 'New'/'Existing'" Screen, but when I choose one, it closes and goes back to the home screen. I've downloaded the newest version today, and I still have the same problem after hitting unroot.
[Android Apps and Games] ironhead86:
i had the same problem...the app i downloaded here didnt work on my og droid. Go to the market and grab the one there. Thats what worked for me.
[Android Apps and Games] SolRaven:
That's the one I grabbed today and "unrooted" but it didnt solve the problem. How do I restore my phone? I know I should have known this before I rooted, but I figured at this point, rooting is so popular that it would be safe.

Worked perfectly on my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini

The z4root worked perfectly for me.

I'm using Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini with Android 2.1 Software. The rooting process took awhile (around 10 minutes) but it worked perfectly. The phone powered down automatically after the root, and when it restarted, the application added a Superuser application into the phone. After rooting, I was able to use the free version of Titanium Backup (and downloaded the lastest version of BusyBox) and deleted those hideous pre-installed applications.

A great app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] SolRaven:
OK, so I did a complete recovery, then went ahead and re-rooted again, hoping that there was a software clash. Now I can save numbers, but when I go into contacts and try to pull up a contact's info. it does the same thing; goes back to the home screen.

I just Rooted my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 + Official Froyo, I had to reboot after first run, then take out battery, and run again..

And one more time, then z4root rebooted itself and now my phone i rooted..

But first time I tried z4root just ran for hours..

Now its OK.. I just ran ClockSync, and it set my time automatic..

I can confirm that z4root works on the Moto Backflip running the Android 2.1 upgrade that was just released.
[Android Apps and Games] MamaSaidWhat?:
Complete noob here but I can confirm the root process works on Magic (32B, Google branded, on Vodafone). I followed the steps in the video by darkonion (manually enable debugging mode, connect USB, download z4root from market etc. as well as killing open apps + changing from GDE home replacement to standard android home) and it worked like a charm within a matter of seconds!

Superuser was installed after (automatic) reboot, although I can see no other visible changes :confused: I have downloaded BusyBox installer from market which confirms that my phone is rooted, however when I clicked the "Install" button all I appeared to get was the error message "The application failed, either because..."

If anybody can help me further in any way (installing BusyBox, making a back up, applying custom rom etc.) with any solutions then this would be great! :D

I really love the idea but I've tried to root my phone using z4 root for the past few days but still can't. My main reason for rooting was to move apps to sd. I have a Samsung Intercept 2.1. When I hit "Root" it runs it's process very well but after the reboot I'll go back to the z4 app and there is no option to "unroot" I'm assuming this means in did'nt work.....I've tried it immediately after a reboot. I've tried it after a battery pull and a reboot. I've tried it after killing user downloaded apps......Still nothing......As you can tell I really want this damn thing to work lol....I really don't have the patience or the confidence to root the old fashioned way so it's z4 or nothing for me........Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!

[Android Apps and Games] sheth1nks:
I've had my Droid X 2.2 for about two months now and had it customized as far as I could unrooted. All the while, I was compiling a list of features that I'd like that required root.

But still, I didn't have the time to go through the process and possibly debug and/or retest all my apps. (I had jailbroken an iPT3 and an iPad earlier this year and remembered the time required to address fallout).

But then yesterday, while reading tweets, I saw z4root mentioned. I immediately got interested, came to this forum and did a little reading.

I said what the heck, root. So I installed z4root 1.3.0 from the App Market and 15 minutes later I had root. (It wouldve been 3-5mins but the 1st attempt was blocked "Attempting to apply root ..." by Lookout. Once I killed Lookout, the 2nd attempt was nearly immediate).

I've installed the apps from my "requires root" list and tested all.

I plan to verify unroot a bit later...

Now I know why they say "A rooted Droid X is a happy Droid X". :D
