Try SuperOneClick..

works on Samsung devices and also look for Zergrush, Unrevoked, UniversalAndRoot, etc... All of the above have threads on XDA.

I have just rooted a Samsung Galaxy with Zergrushh and with SuperOneClick 2.1.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimweda:
That's all good but the point of z4Root was that you didn't need a computer to root your phone and that's what was attractive about it. If you go through the posts there are tons of people trying to root their phones with the other apps using their PC and are having a lot of problems. I only have Mac's so I don't have the option to use methods like you did. It really is driving me nuts that I'm this close to a solution but am not able to use any of them which is why I like apps like z4Root and don't really understand why developers aren't making more of these unless its a programming issue. Not being a programmer I have no idea how much more work if any there is in making something like this.

Even with these other 1 click methods you can take 10 people with the same phone and using the same OS on their PC's and have a 50-50 result if that. I'm blaming Samsung because it seems that their hardware is not consistent and out of 100 Epic 4G's you can different outcomes. You would think that it would be pretty consistent from model to model but it isn't. Gingerbreak was supposed to be able to root the Samsung Epic and qbking77 even made video's showing how it worked. Myself and many others have also tried using the exact same method and were not able to root our phones. I just hope there will eventually be more support for those who do not want to learn the technical aspects of rooting or are afraid to play with the insides of the phone. You don't need to be a mechanic in order to drive a car. Some people don't want to be mechanics but still want to enjoy the comforts of a car.

Just for the record. Even though I have not been able to root my phone through any of the numerous methods out there that do not require a PC, I do appreciate all the hard work that any and all of those involved in creating rooting methods. Although I have no programming experience I have seen what code looks like and even the smallest app looks like an encyclopedia of input which is why I do thank everyone in forums like this for all the difficult work they do. Add on top of that, all the different models, brands and OS versions of the phones they have to try and make these apps work with is enough to make me pull my hair out.

Also, I wish the PC people who rag on us Mac users for not having a PC to root our phones would let the PC/Mac war go to the wayside. We're all Android users here so what type of computer you use should not be an issue, well at least we shouldn't be attacking each other based on that. There are pro's and con's to both sides but I don't want to get into that. This is an Android world we're in and I like keeping it that way.

I just got a HTC incredible with 2.2 and z4 root worked for me. Superuser and titanium back up on it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tamnteh:
sorry for noob question... what for this app actually?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] socrated13:
Wonderful app! Thank you for your work. :D Wouldn't this be better suited for the HD2 Apps forum though?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
i thought it might be but was not sure. if a mod wants to move it feel free.

This app just make things easier/noobier for people who want to jailbreak or downgrade there ps3. i personally got annoyed always having to open file explorer and hit both options to launch. i have a lot of crap on my sd card so this makes it easier for me and i hope others. it will also give you a dedicated folder for the downgrade.

i can always make the jb a dedicated folder but i notice that android runs fine with the jb files integrated. it did not affect my user experience so i did not do that originally.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] selivus:
Thank you! This is an extremely useful app, you have made my life so much easier...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheInVisibleGoD:
If you don't no for what this app is, probably is not for you! :p

HackMimic, thanks for the great job! ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ahennin4:
Very cool good job!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] youngkwang49:
I am curious to where you get the lv2diag.self file 1 and lv2diag.self file 2 files
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheInVisibleGoD:
Like here for example...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Jesus1988:
Doesn't work for german ROMs, cause in german "Storage Card" means "Speicherkarte" and so the path for the setup is wrong ... Installing is no problem.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
This is awesome :D

Thank you HackMimic
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] supaet:
the only probem with using ps jailbreak on my hd2 android is that it breaks my camera
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
had the same problem when I made my multi os launcher app days ago. I have the translation for German and another language. I will make the proper changes for ya. Would you prefer everything visual to read in German.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Jesus1988:
German is not that important for me, but if it is no big effort it would be fine.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
What version firmware does this work on i have .55 firmware, a stupid friend of my sister installed it. I hope it works for this too
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bahoiz:
Same here.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
unfortunately if your at 3.55 there is no way to downgrade as they revoked the leaked keys. there where 3 of them i believe. i would not update your ps3 anyfurther down the road and wait till there is a workaround. im always scared my roommate will do the same. thats why i bought two. one jb in the front with a ps3key. thats what my roommate will use since its easy and one in my room with my htc now. :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Does it break the camera in WM or android? My camera in WM works fine. if in android it might be the zimage file used. I think i will need to make a backup folder and include a button to backup original zImage of the rom so you can restore it when not jailbreaking.

also doing a pure german rom is no big deal. Let me update the app to do this new stuff first and when i upload it i will upload a translated version as well.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Hi,

I am using an english version wm, still says that the directory can't be opened

Storage Card/blah blah blah..

using android RAM version by darkstone.. maybe that's the cause?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] lamario:
Whenever I click on "Setup Jailbreak", I get an error message saying, " An unexpected error has occurred in SmartDeviceProject1.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details or more information." I'm using a dexter wm rom, "TheDarkOne WWE". Radio 2.10.50.26. Any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] panzearon:
If I could pound your fist throught the internet, I would have gone through 5 lcds already. Hope you'll settle for an image instead :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
That was awesome. had me cracking up when reading. The Norwegian version is up and ready to go. let me know if everything works correctly.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
so I guess i really am the only one who can't boot up the build?

it's kinda weird because i never have trouble with other builds..

Just so other users know, copying the root folder to a compatible android build will also work :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Was it version 2.5 thats not working for you. On first boot it will take what seems forever when launching jailbreaking because i removed the data.img file from the build as its 1GB in size. On first launch it will create the data.img file and thats why it takes what seems forever.

If you have skype hit me up so i can better troubleshoot your issue.

Skypename = hackmimic

Note: im not always on. sometimes my roommate jumps on my server so it auto logs me in. just hit me up if i dont respond within 5 min that means im not there.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] IcedCube:
I must say you did an awesome job with the app. I successfully downgraded to FW 3.41 from FW 3.50.

I had to turn the PS3 off at the main switch (I had it in standby and it wasn't working before I did that switch trick), and turned it back on, then power & eject straight after, which brought me some time due to it's disc ejecting, and then the HD2 said "PSFreedom: Executing", writing code, "PSFreedom: Boom, done!". I did the downgrade, thought I had a PS3 Brick, but then the Sony setup wizard greeted me and I was like :D :D :D :D :D.

If my PayPal wasn't empty I'd buy you some beer. :P

Cheers again HackMimic.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Thank you. Im glade everything worked out for you. i know i should write cleaner instructions for everyone. :D

Im getting closer to a new version for non HD2 phones. I am now most certain everything will look different in the other version.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Yeah it's version 2.5.

I just find it weird coz i've never had these issues with android build

No matter, it appears that I am the only one so problem something wrong with my setup.

I've moved the root file to another light android build and it works quite well, boots pretty fast too and very light, only 128mb :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Thats good. im glade you got it figured out.

Update for other devices:

i have the basic file structure set up and everything else need to do multiple payloads on multiple devices.

what FW payloads will support:

FW 3.01

FW 3.10

FW 3.15

FW 3.21

FW 3.40

FW 3.41

psfreedom v1.5 will also be included for downgrading.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] joee1:
Gt5

Hi HackMimic

Thanks for all your hard work

a quick question

if i load (Hermes v4b + psn + 3.50 FW3.41) will i be able to play GT5

thanks once again

Joe
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Im not sure if your able to play GT5 yet from back up as its not compatible with FW 3.41. It needs something from FW 3.50 to decrypt and play. I could be wrong but that is the impression i got from looking into getting it to work. that was about a week or so ago and things could have changed.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
finally got it to boot

works well

just a suggestion though.. it makes a 1G data.img..

since this is independent only for running Gscript, maybe let it make a very small data img.. for example 64mb?

that's what I did anyways. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I will look into that. i will test using another data.img. if i find a small one that works and keeps everything stable then i will update.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Nope you can't play GT5 ON FW 3.41 but you can upgrade to FW3.50 to play then when you wanna play backup games downgrade back
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
Try to format SD Card & fresh install again hope that work :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xt33nx:
does this work to downgrade only using HD2? or it can be used on other HTC phones, e.g Diamond?(DIAM100)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
This version is only for HD2 but i am working on another version for Diamond, TP2, etc. it will be beta as i dont have those phones anymore but the concept is the same. Are you using a diamond?

UPDATE for NON HD2 Owners:

here are some screenshots of the new app. i still have a few things to do but for the most part everything seems to function like its suppose to as in related to what the app does. im not sure on the rest as i need a TP2 or other model to test. I might get my hands on a TP2 next week as well as a Touch Pro CDMA. so i can test with those if no one can help before then.

Hay

Ich habe ein Problem wenn ich PS3DJB-Android Starten möchte das es beim Grünen HTC stehen bleibt.

Htc HD2 Rom Goatrip 6.0 SpeierKarte 8GB (4) Android MDJ FroYo HD v.4.5

Hat sich erledigt jetzt startet Android
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Wenn ihr eine der neuen Versionen von Android gibt es Kompatibilitätsprobleme. Ich habe das App aktualisiert, um eine Pre-Setup Version von Android umfassen. Es dauert mehrere Minuten beim ersten Hochfahren zu erzeugen data.img Datei. geben sie etwa 10 Minuten auf dem ersten Boot. dass neueste Version meiner Anwendung liegt bei 2,5

Update:

Almost finished on tp2 version just need to fix a message box and prep files in the installer. Been workingbon it for hours now and need to sleep so I hope to have it ready tomorrow/ tonight for download to test.

Jetzt Startet mein PS3DJB-Android aber wenn ich GSceipt Lite Staren steht da Load PL3 FW3.41 Load PL3 FW3.01 Load PL3 FW3.10 Load PL3 FW3.15 Load Hermens FW 3.41 ich habe ein PS3 Slim mit FW 3.50 was soll ich den da auswählen oder ist es nicht möglich mit der FW.3.50 Mein Englisch ist nicht so Gut
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Da Ihr auf 3,50 Sie ein Downgrade auf 3,41 der Lage sein müssen, um Ihre PS3 Jailbreak. Sie müssen den Downgrader starten und warten, bis es in Englisch Stecker Ihres Telefons auf die ps3 verbinden, um das Telefon zu sagen. vor, dass Sie sicher, dass Sie die Kraft von unplugged der Rückseite Ihrer PS3 Slim. Nachdem Sie das Telefon auf die PS3 angeschlossen haben über USB, stecken Sie das Netzkabel wieder in die PS3. Auf Ihrem PC müssen Sie 2 Dateien auf als USB-Dongle, ist FAT32 formatiert setzen. die Dateien, die auf die Wurzel des USB-Dongle werden müssen, sind PS3UPDAT.PUP (Sie von 3.41 geändert Welpe braucht) und lv2diag.self (sein in einem Ordner mit der Bezeichnung lv2diag.self Datei1. herausnehmen und auf die Wurzel den Dongle). nun wieder auf die PS3. Schalten Sie das PS3 und warten, bis er selbst heruntergefahren. sobald es sich von selbst aus. Trennen Sie das Telefon aus der PS3. Jetzt in den Dongle in den USB-Port auf der PS3 anschließen. es muss auf der rechten Seite sein. nun auf der PS3 wieder einschalten und einige Minuten warten, bis die ps3 schaltet sich wieder ab. Ziehen Sie den Dongle und schließen Sie es an den PC neu. Jetzt löschen Sie die beiden Dateien und legte lv2diag.self (sein in einem Ordner namens lv2diag.self Datei 2) auf dem Dongle. Setzen Sie nun den Dongle wieder in die ps3 in der rechten USB-Port. nun auf der PS3 ab und warten Sie, bis sich wieder aus. Sie sollten jetzt auf FW 3,41 zurückgestuft.

English for others:

Since your on 3.50 you will need to downgrade to 3.41 to be able to Jailbreak your PS3. you will need to launch the downgrader and wait till it say in english plug your phone in. connect the ps3 to the phone. before you do that make sure you have unplugged the power from the back of your ps3 slim. after you have connected the phone to the ps3 through usb, plug the power cord back into the ps3. On your pc you need to put 2 files on as usb dongle that is formatted to fat32. the files that need to be on the root of the usb dongle are PS3UPDAT.PUP (you need the 3.41 modified pup) and lv2diag.self (its in a folder labeled lv2diag.self file1. take it out and place it on the root of the dongle). now back to the ps3. Turn on the ps3 and wait for it to shut itself down. once it turned itself off. disconnect the phone from the ps3. Now plug in the dongle into the usb port on the ps3. it must be on the far right. now turn on the ps3 again and wait several minutes till the ps3 turns itself off again. Unplug the dongle and connect it to the pc again. now erase the two files and put lv2diag.self (its in a folder called lv2diag.self file 2) on the dongle. Now put the dongle back in the ps3 in the far right usb port. now turn on the ps3 and wait for it to turn itself off again. now you should be downgraded to FW 3.41.

EDIT:

i was hella tired when i wrote this forgot to add when you are connecting the phone to press eject after you turn on the ps3
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] zingle:
I gotta be missing something here but it says run app (setup jailbreak) but this app does nto exist with this installed on a clean Android on HD2 I assume this app should be present in the winmo somewhere?

ok I see im a noob its been removed. Where it says it will take several minutes to boot first time how many are we talking lol
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
could be up to 10 minutes

Update:

Got the message box issues fixed now in the non hd2 version worked out. its basically all good to go. just need an icon and to get the files in place and do some minor testing
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] parasito:
Hi!!

Your aplication looks great, but unfortunately I cant use it in my HD2. The problem is the path of the storage card, in Spain it is "Tarjeta de Almacenamiento", so version 2.5 never installs cause it has not enough free space.

Thanks for your work.

PARA
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
I will update with Spanish version. Won't get to it till later today. Need to sleep first.

Ist es vielleicht möglich das eine video tut Anleitung erstellt wie meine PS3 mit der FW 3.50 auf EW 3.41 Downgrader HTC HD2

Habe mir jetzt die zwei datein lv2diag.self file 1 and lv2diag runter geladen

von der ersten seite post 9
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xt33nx:
yeah i'm using a diamond(diam100) and since i have FW 3.42, i'm willing to test it on my machine:)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Vulcanraven:
maybe someone can port it for the x1 ? :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] arayray:
Can you add support for the Mytouch 3g Slide? I can help you develop the kernel if needed.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
perfect i am almost done. i do need to adjust some things in the app for the diamond screen size first. I will PM you when im about ready.

I have looked into it already. i would just need to change a few things in the new version for msm72k chipset phones

On the mytough 3g Slide it is android and i dont program in that language needed for that phone. I will talk to a buddy who has more knowledge on C++ as he was talking about making one for android phones so i can tell him to look into the mytouch 3G.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] panzearon:
Just wanted to confirm that the Norwegian version is working perfectly, thank you so much HackMimic.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Godemonite:
HTC Hero

Is there anyone you could get this to work for the Sprint HTC Hero?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
+1 :D Since its running independently
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Im testing an even smaller data.img now that i created.

ok i tested a 64mb data.img and a 57mb data.img made by me and there is a boot difference. the original would take over 2 minutes(Timed). The 64mb data.img took 1 min 54 sec and the 57mb data.img took 1 min 37 sec. So its a little faster and all seems to work well.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] joee1:
different build

Hi HackMimic

Is it possible to use MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6 build to JB ps3.

if possible please give me instruction.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
There are compatibility issues with all newer android builds. It is recommended to use the one that is included. I am going to do a simple update to the app to include a smaller data.img file for faster boot.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
Look forward to it :D

maybe if it's possible, cut all unnecessary google apps.. like googlemap, voice, blah blah blah.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
i took a look at the build and its all integrated in. if a cook wanted to make a light android rom i would include it or everyone will have to wait till i can teach myself how to put a android rom together. i will probably do so when im done porting to different languages and the multi phone type build for non hd2 users

Update for non HD2 devices:

app is done just need to put a icon in the app but i think everything should work. I still need to work on screen formatting as it will fit perfect for 800x480 but not smaller so i still need to figure how to support multiple resolutions.

Update for HD2 users:

I am going to reupload the app with the new data.img. i will re upload all apps once i complete the spanish version
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dïnnïra:
+1 Yup just the basics, other apps are not necessary as it can be download from market.

Maybe HackMimic can let users down the desired data.img will be great too as some might use it as daily normally & others just for JB.

Hope there there will be Ram version too, will be super FAST!! But current state works wonderfully.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
how its set up is jailbreaking andriod is just for jailbreaking. I will change all of that when we can get the kernel updated. when that happens i will revert back to the old UI to save space.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] andylhchen:
+1

keep up the great job (I think we might be requesting too much lol)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xt33nx:
ok HackMimic, i'm waiting for the msg:)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Thank you again for offering to help test the new version. i have sent you a PM.

UPDATE:

Spanish version for HD2 is almost complete all translations are done just need to compile now. should be up within the next hour
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ankorez:
cannot install PS3DJB.cab

i select sd card emplacement but 75% it say not enough space on your phone please choose other emplacement..

anyone have a idea?

thx

edit: i have installed other .cab and i have select sd card but it installed on phone memory..

bug of my rom? same probleme after hard reset... i try upgrade another rom

i was 3.14 - 2.15.50.14 officiel htc FR

edit2: same probleme with official rom htc 1.66 - radio 2.07...

i have format my sd card and i select sd card during install .cab but not installed on it...

help me please

edit3: i think have found... i see a folder "storage card" on my memory internal but i'm french and my folder storage card don't tell it..anyone know how change it?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] darkreign11:
Does this work with the blackstone too??
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
you have a french rom. I will need to update the storage card path. Can you please give me the Storage Card Name in you language as seen in file explorer. i have translated storage card as Carte Mémoire. does yours show the accents or no

It does not support HD. I would have to look into HD as it would fit more with my other app im working on as the HD has a differnt chipset from the HD2 so its more similar to a tp2/tp type phone.

UPDATE:

The other version is done and ready to test now.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ankorez:
yes thx for your reponse and your soft!!! :)

i have try edit _setup.xml and i replace line "storage card" by "Carte de stockage" but i can't add _setup.xml modified with win rar..

so "Carte de stockage" for rom french

thx for your work !
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
no problem. i have hard coded all the paths. i have been looking into a way for future use to avoid doing so. just a little over my head still.

I will make a new version in french. Give me some time. it wont be ready till later today.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ankorez:
Great news!!

youpiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

ok i waiting !!!

and i test immediately!!

tks!!!

edit: ok so i will back tonight
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Jesus1988:
You can change two things in your registry to get it work:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\ENCFilt\Folder => "Storage Card"

and

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMMC\Folder => "Storage Card"

=> SOFT RESET

=> English Version should work

But other programs installed on SD-Card won't work anymore ;)

Maybe HackMimic can read this string out of registry, so the program will work on every ROM ?!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ankorez:
MERCI !!!

Thanks a lot!!!

je test de suite !!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] joncy92:
Hey mate, thank and well done on the app

This is gna sound nooby, but where do the .pup and diag files go?

Also when i run the app it says Launch normal android, launch downgrader and launch PS3DJB Android, nothing about backing up etc.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

Cheers
