Just wondering if there was any progress being made on figuring out how to root the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant. Anybody know if a fix is being worked on and if so what the ETA is?

it's pretty much been rooted from the beginning. google is your friend
Really? Not to sound like a hardcore n00b or nothing, but I've tried every method out there and nothing has worked. If you've got a solution id love to know where you found it.

Note that this device is blocked from accessing the recovery menu. Thoughts?

Call 611 and tell them you want it replaced. I did it and schmoozed a bit. They sent it next day air.

I also can't boot into recovery using the buttons, but I've heavily modified my phone. Please explain how you're unable to root your device.

Sooo has anyone tried these apps from the market? the "Boot anamation Changer PRO" ,"Boot anamations Installer" , and the other "bootanamationchanger"? ! i have rooted with z4 before and OCLF'ed and it bricked my phone and had to replace it! i have rooted with z4 ..again but am staying away from OCLF. Can these apps brick or soft brick my phone? like are they really buggy or?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000M bell canada
does Anyone know or try these apps?
I have tried them and they are kind of buggy. Put my phone into a boot loop.

Made my phone take about 5 minutes to boot. Then during one boot it automatically wiped itself which was nice

Just get root explorer. It's like $4, and you can back up your original bootanimation, put your new one in the same directory and be done in like about 1 minute.
I change my animation at least 3 times a week. No brickage.

Here's the thread I started when I first tried to change my bootanimation. Lots of good info:

Im new to the rooting game and was hoping someone could give me an easy way to root my galaxy s 2.2 vibrant and some good reading about the whole root experience.
A way to unroot my phone would be helpful as I have been haing some problems with my phone. I believe these to be Samsung software issues such as stuck in thee booting prosess. Im on my second phone and have had to hard reset it several times

In the forum search look fo "z4root". I used it to root my epic . It took a few uninstall-reinstall-reboot-run-repeat cycles but I am successfully rooted and didn't even need a PC
Epic is as Epic does
Thanks ill try that.

Is that even on the market anymore?
I used one click lag fix to root mine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I tried the z4root and another one click root I found on the forums nneither of them worked. Probably because im running 2.2. I found a one click root using a computer so I think that will be my next attempt

In an effort to help you get your question answered I am going to ask you some questions that may help. Because, I am, if anything, an awesome, awesome guy. Are you rooted? Are you running a custom ROM? If so, which one? What have you tried to already to fix the issue?
Sometimes when I have faced the authentication error it has been fixed by a reboot and fix permissions. You could also use the LG updater, but some people, including myself have run into some probs(don't you worry, all fixed now).

I've had the same authorization error when I do the manual check for update in my about phone section in the menu. And my phone is all stock...and not rooted and only like a week old. And suggestions? Us it just because I have to wait for them to push the update to me?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Can someone please answer both of our questions, I really want the update but it hasn't been pushed to my two week old LG G2x. Please help.

Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader.

Any words or rumors from devs ? Really like the phone but no root might be a deal breaker for me

This has been covered so many times. Please search a little harder. We see one of these at least twice a week. It means nothing. Carry on.

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.
no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.
