i was trying to root my phone like yesterday..but i just stopped in the middle of the process...but i download droidsans from the market..if i can auto-rotate that means i have root..also i can autorate the home screen but now the browser
on rc-29, downgraded
i think it's pretty safe to say you have root.
just to be sure, download Terminal Emulator from the android market and once it's loaded type in: su
if the little $ sign changes to a # then you have root
thanks
i have root..oh 1 thing if i ever wanted to not have root anymore what would i do
want out
i have root acess...i dont want it anymore for reasons with family..can anyone show me how to do this, on downgraded rc-29..
i'm not too sure, never done this, but i suppose if you reflash the original firmware it should get rid of root. don't quote me on this though.
oh ok..ill just wait if i get a better answer..no offense
Follow the steps on downgrading to rc29 in the getting root access thread.
Once you've done that, you will get an ota update from tmobile, or you can go and download the original rc30 and install it the update.zip.
End of story.
Hmm. Sounds fishy, what could root access be doing to your family?
fishy? my thoughts exactly
As stated, downgrade to stock RC29 and wait for the TMobile OTA update.
And as for what it has to do with his family, its very possible he has kids that likes to mess with his phone and he doesnt want them to to mess something up. If that is the case I would recommend restricting the root access with the whitelist, but if you dont really need the root then by all means, downgrade it
my parents dont want me to void my warranty or break my phone
ok thats just stupid! As a dad I will fully disclose that sometimes we can be stupid!
As a parent I would say do as your told. As a G1 enthusiast I would say leave it and dont tell your parents that you still have root (its easy to hide...). Also if you ever have to return the phone it is easy to restore it to its previous state
We had this issue pop up already. The handset was repaired under warranty
Unless you're getting it repaired, don't unroot it and just tell them you unrooted it. What's the harm? It doesn't sound like they know any better.
i copied the rc-29 file and did everything and then it says no image file
did you rename it to update.zip?
no..ill try that
what do i do after i rename it...i did that but it still says no image file
are you downgrading with DREAMIMG.nbh if so dont rename it and put it on the root of you sd card and turn off phone and restart it holding down the camera and power key then follow the on screen instructions.
Sorry forgot what you were doing for a min then.
i think im an idiot..im already on rc-29 with root...so i just wait for the ota update to come to my phone and i accept then i will no longer have root and i will be back to normal
I have few question and dunno where to start. First, I downloaded some custom ROM and I want to install it, is installing new ROM same as rooting ? If not, how to install that ROM which I have already downloaded and ROOT my Galaxy Ace ?
P.S. I'm kinda afraid of rooting I get it as some sort of scary **** to do :S But since I can't update to 2.3.6 since this stupid Polish firmware doesn't let me to do it, I want to change to another one. And I want to ROOT it so I can move some apps to memory card so I get more RAM
I would really appriciate some useful advices

Thanks I should have searched first >.< Btw after I install some other firmware and root my phone, would I be able to update it via Kies ?
Thanks for the answer again
No buddy, once you root Kies will be useless. You may be able to find the most up-to-date rom and root it.
If you go for a custom rom usually developers update it to the latest firmware version.
Just be careful on what your doing to your phone. Read the tutorial 3-4 times before starting the process and make sure you have everything.
Also.. make sure you check task manager and end task all KIES apps. (KiesAgentTray KiesPLR etc)
Ok so i really need some help.
alright well no matter what i do on my T-Mobile Prism i cant root it, AT ALL. and the thing is, i'm using superoneclick 2.3.3 on my 2.3.6 phone but i can't find a superoneclick 2.3.6. so i hope i'm not asking too much or sound like a whining n00b but what do i need to make this work? everytime i use the superoneclick application regardless of what 'exploit' i'm using, it freezes on step number 7. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE it's bugging me that i can't root this phone. i have had no succes with this and i'm running out of options

I have the same phone and i had the same problem that i couldn't find a way to root the thing but after digging for two weeks i finally found a flashable .zip file that roots your phone and installs superuser and gives u root access. I have attached the file all u have to do is download it, put it on your sd card(not in any folder) and then boot into recovery. From there just go to install zip from sd card -------> choose zip from sd card--------->> then just select the file attached then go to yes and it will install the package and root your phone and there ya go!!! Enjoy your rooted phone! (btw if u want to update to ics i can help u out with that)
Ok so I was wondering if anybody could figure out to make the infuse 4g update ota (over the air) since it is not already available because samsung didnt make it ota so I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to make the gingerbread update ota or to be able to update without a computer because I dont have on and im not going to be by one for a long time. Thanks.
I would tell you to download a gingerbread ROM, but I don't know if they flash bootloaders. You could try flashing boot loaders and a GB ROM using mobile ODIN if you have root
See but thats the problem I dont have root acess either I dont habe a comp and I also have tried those one click root apk's but none of them work. People say I need a comp but I dont have one and wont have one or be by one for a long time. Im trying to update to gingerbread to be able to root much easier. Any ideas
What app did you use? Z4root?
Yeah I used it and it stayed on the screen forever it didnt work I also used gingerbreak and universal androot to no avail.
The only way of rooting I know, other than z4root, is to actually use a pc, and either flash Gingerbread with Bootloaders, or use superoneclick just to root. Sorry that I couldn't help more. I also have no clue that the GB update isn't OTA either... Weird.
Yeah I guess ill wait it out and see If anybody finds a solution. Yeah I know about the gingerbread update its dumb that samsung didnt make it ota for the samsung infuse 4g
But thnx for trying to help. Ill wait and see if anybody can find a solution
Yeah, it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't publish an OTA, probably because of the Bootloaders though. I would say you could download CM7 as it is signed, and then you could have install a custom froyo rom and have root, but you don't have GB Bootloaders, and that would make it difficult to see anything
Yeah I know I guess ill wait for another phone
Or for a solution
If you think you know something reply back
I vaguely remember a zip you could flash in stock recovery that would root pretty much any device, but in have non clue if it would work on the Infuse. If you want to try it, Google "root update.zip"
Ok thank you
GB is actually harder to root than froyo... not easier.
Yeah but froyo is pretty hard to root especially if you dont have a comp like me.
still ill keep looking any ideas

King root, google kingroot, goto the site, download the apk, install, then run it. it may fail a couple times but when it does usually u just try again and then wipe cache, wipe data of app, reboot, and keep on trying, eventually it'll root ur phone from then which u can use the kingroot to SuperSU script to switch to SuperSU instead of kingroot. I've been able to root my nexus in the past with a locked bootloader, but ig it really just depends on what u really want to do with root. Try at ur own risk, like everyone else does when rooting lol, just make sure u got a solution if anything were to happen (which in my opinion is very low)
I already try king root but not work for me it show me this text "not adaptable yet" i want root becose i want to flash android 7 rom and my bootloader is locked so i cant flash recovery and i dont have laptop or pc now..
