Rooting 2.2? - Captivate General

Hey guys, got my phone replaced WOOT.
first thing i did was go home and update to the leaked froyo 2.2
i went to the market to install the oneclick lagfix but it said that the root that it includes doesnt work with 2.2 and i would have to find another method. could anyone point me to the easiest and safest method to root. im looking for a method where its easy to root and unroot if needed.
i looked on google and youtube and found this link related to 2.2 root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797397
that honestly seems a bit too complicated to me.. (im stupid i know).
would the one click root/unroot work for me? it says its only been tested on 2.1 so i wasnt sure.
thanks guys! DDD

Use z4root. It's in the marketplace.

[Q] can i use one click root on 2.2?

I have froyo from the leak and cant seem to find a way to root. any suggestions? will the one click root work for me?
No. Not on my laptop at the moment but there is a YouTube video that shows you how. Search YouTube for root froyo 2.2. I'll give a link tomorrow if you have not figured it out.

Hi, I rooted 2.2 with help z4root from market.
^^ well z4root isnt on the market anymore. i have it on my sd card but my phone keeps saying it cant download apps that are not from the market. how do i bypass?
I found z4root here at xda, just do a search. You will also need Droid Explorer and Sideload Wonder Machine may be useful as well. Here is the video I was talking about:

I ended up using a different app to unlock my vibrant. I did it all through the phone, without having to connect it to my pc. It took few minutes. Anyway, thanks for the response. BTW: im not feeling the pink on your car lol

Need Help with Rooting

Hi I have read everything I can possibly think of to root my G2X. I bought it a month ago and it came with 2.3.3 software. I have been jail breaking Iphones for years but this G2X has me lost. I just cant seem to get it and need help. I dont want to run any customs roms or such just want supper user privileges. If anyone has the time to help I would appreciate it. I tried to root via Z4 GingerBreak ETC. I tried supper one click and have got no were. Anyways Thanks for every ones time
Why couldn't you use one-click? There's nothing to it. It's completely automated.

Super oneclick doesn't work on 2.3.3.
Follow the links in my signature for rooting the G2x. Start with the clickworkmod recovery (does NOT require root first) then follow the instructions for rooting. Only took me a couple of minutes...and i'm an idiot, lol.
I feel toatly retarded cause I don't get the clockworks part. LOL why can't this be a simple one click. I'm going to try and follow your sig links and see were I get LOL

Did you root via oneclick? If so how?
This is what I did.
Not exactly one click but it worked for me. Plus cyanogen is a pretty respected source. Good luck. Also try Tsugi's custom rom for the g2x. Its actually not really custom. It is stock 2.3.4 gingerbread that was released for the European version of this phone. Its incredibly stable and lightning fast. Enjoy!!!

That's how I rooted my 233...but what's the best way

And how do I install the new roms?

First you need to dl the rom you want to your phone (look for ones that are pre-rooted i believe they all are it should say if it is). Then you need to do nv flash recovery. After this you enter recovery and perform your back up and then follow the steps to flashing the rom you chose. Go to the forum the look for the guide to flash nv flash shouldn't to difficult just follow every step and your should be good
There is a new exploit that works on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. Super One Click has been updated to include the new exploit. Search for it and download it to root phone without needing to flash Clockworkmod Recovery.

[Q] {Q} How To UnRoot The Atrix 2

Um I Need Help , I Rotted My Phone Some Days Ago And I Noticed How the contacts i linked with my twitter and facebook were missing , So I want To Unroot it to see if everything gose back
Which method did you use for Rooting? If you used super one click, there is an option to unroot with in. If you used another method, just do a little searching here and you will find it, I am not sure which thread it was in, but I know I saw it some days ago. Good luck!

If you used the windows one-click method there is an unroot option in that app.
I just did a factory restore, that got rid of super user and root.
btw i used the super 1 click...

McGyver Trick is a way to charge a phone when it is Soft-Bricked, and external charger is unavailable. Search Google for more info.
Which version of Android are you running that you want to unroot? Generally, the Root.zip package itself has unroot.bat file.

Oh, wow...
I actually just want to return to it to original form.
I had rooted and tried the pac-man rom, but there are certain things
that don't work- well the gyroscope to be precise(can't play games like
temple run)...in addition the battery seems to run down faster, the network
data don't work and wi-fi is harder to pick up it seems and I experience some lag at times.
So I restored the stock OS (ICS). I just want to restore the phone to its
original form.
Thank you dearly for your assistance.
Guess I got to stay rooted then. I hope it won't be a problem
in the future though, like let's say if I wish to sell my atrix 2 or so.
