You didn't mention what device you own?
There are other 1-click methods for rooting, i.e SuperOneClick that you might want to try. Do your research, and if you post what phone it is then we can direct you to some guides.
I have a Droid 2 and have been waiting to root it. I DL'd Z4 when it was still on Market. So I guess I have an old version....if there is a new one that is.
I rooted with it before, but then unrooted when I started having issues with the phone. Now I am skeptical to root again until I find a good ROM for a D2.
So...should I root with this Z4Root 1.3.0
Are there any good ROM's for D2....preferably a GB ROM. I don't see the point in installing another FROYO ROM.
I didn't see a GB ROM scanning through the forum but THIS is the place where it'd be if there were one.
SuperOneClick is my preferred 1-click root method and often works where others fail. There's also more rooting info in the dev section link above too.

So I found a link for the Gingerbread download when I searched "droid x gingerbread download" on google.
It had the 4.5.588 System Version.
I successfully downloaded the software on my sdcard but unfortunately I forgot to unroot my phone with z4root before installing the software.
Now I don't know what to do since the superuser remains as well as z4root but no rooted softwares work.
Please don't let me brick this!
How do I unroot this phone or fix it? Any help is appreciated.
Sounds like you just lost root when you updated. If you haven't tried this already, run Z4Root to re-root it again and it should be fine.
I tried to unroot and reroot using z4root several times it doesn't seem to work. I know this because the wifi tether is not working and says "Are you sure you are rooted?"
I mentioned that I installed gingerbread on the phone without unrooting the old software...
Gingerbread
my understanding is there is no app to root the gingerbread release. Please correct me if I am wrong, and advise if there is a way to root my droidx after I updated it to the latest Verizon release.
I'm with meeraj023 on this one. I have unrolled the phone, also using Z4 and still cannot update.
Tried while it has been rooted and while not rooted without he same results.
I have also read that you can't root the new GB. The only fix I have heard of is to SBF back to something rootable, but I could be wrong.

I've spent some time on the forum trying to find an answer, but obviously that didnt happen.
I have my GS4G and want to just ROOT it without installing any rom to replace the firmware.
1. If i root my phone, can i do JUST that? or are there other steps after simply rooting that are considered important for the stability of my phone?
2. After i root my phone, will i still be able to do the kiesmini/OTA gingerbread *official* (not leaked) update?
My main reason for wanting to do this is for the bloatware and increasing performance, and to just have overall more 'control' (similar to the feeling of wiping a new computer from the manufacture's preloaded poop).
I have superoneclick v1.9.5. I used it as a test on my old MT3G, and installed the GingerYoshi rom, and all worked very well. I just dont want to brick my GS4G, as i paid full price D:.
sorry if this has been asked/answered, i try to play by the rules, but just didnt find my answer.
thanks,
Greg
Super one click root 1.7 was what I used. It just roots the phone, as any other rooting method should. You can get ota fine...I always did. Never had a problem.

Just so you know there's no one-click root method for Gingerbread for the SGS4G yet. Maybe around the time the official ROM comes out there will be.
what does:
"error:more than one device"
mean?? That pops up when i hit root. I only have one phone connected to my PC.
I'm assuming its multiple instances of ADB running? Im not sure..
*EDIT* My mistake lol. still had my MT3G plugged in, my bad!
successfully rooted. Thanks
While I patiently await CM7 for the Triumph, can anyone tell me how to get this thing rooted? I've owned a G1, Eris, and Optimus V. Each one had a different process. How can I do it on this one?

There is an app you install called GingerBreak. It is found in the same forum you posted this question in, just look for it, I believe it is right under this thread, actually. It is a simple 1-Click root method.
Hope I helped. If I did, could you help a brother out by clicking the thanks button? It's all I got
Here is a link to the aforementioned GingerBreak: http://www.4shared.com/file/kJ-skGa5/Gingerbread_15.html
After rooting, go to the market and install superuser.
Damn, I thought that was for a custom ROM. Thank you! I'll give proper thanks when I get to my Chromebook.
Well, that was quick. All rooted now. However, you linked something that only put on wallpapers. I had to go find 1.2 of GingerBreak.
Hello, i've tried Gingerbreak, Z4, Universal Androot and SuperOneClick Server is down.
Does anyone know of any other methods to root an android??
-edit-
root a motorolla triumph
Besides Gingerbreak 1.2 specifically? Which is right here...

There's an "easy root method" that involves renaming the sudo binary in your phone to su... If you do this, it's strongly recommended you install Superuser when you're done.

My ROM (hurrhurr) comes with root already available.

Ok, so not to long ago I recieved a notification saying that my Droid 2 Global ws due for an update. My thoughts were "YAY!! NEW STUFF!!!". After I updated it I found out about phone rooting and I did some research on it. I came to the conclusion that I was going to root my phone no matter what. But I have tryed everything I came across. Which was only Gingerbreak, z4root, Petesoneclickroot, and I think thats about it.... Anyways none of those work.
When I tryed the Gingerbreak it would say its rooting but I left it there for like 3 hours while I watched a movie and it still wasnt done... I knew it wasnt going to work because it said it would take "2-3 minutes, 10 minutes at the max".
With the z4root I would install it and click on it and click Pearmanet Root. It would load for a little then it would just stop and go to the home screen of my phone. When I clicked the app again it would say it force clossed and after that it just would not open when I clicked it.
With the Petes one click root it would be going all well until it came to the rebooting stage. Once my phone shut off and started back up it would go into bootloader. And it would stay like that...
Just so you know what my phone is running and stuff its:
Model Number: DROID2 GLOBAL
Android Version: 2.3.3
If theres anything else you need to know just ask and please someone tell me and option to root my phone.
z4root and Gingerbreak won't work.
As it was described multiple times, DROID3 ADB exploit works. Pete's one-click motorola root tools should work; although it might fail if you had z4root.
i was
success to root using superoneclick 2.2(zergrush)
I used Pete's Root Tools for my D2G several times with no problems. It's pretty straight forward. You might need to SBF, because those other apps probably narsed up your ROM.
Also make sure you have the most recent drivers from Motorola. I have heard of problems being because of old drivers. Rootzwiki has some great user/dev threads on installing cm7gb. I would go there and follow the directions you find. Like the others said you may need to sbf to get a factory/known good state.
Remember: double & triple check everything before getting stuck up a creek. And make sure you have a way back before you start down that road...
D2G CM7GB
just used peters root tool.
worked excellent for me
If i had been rooted and then the update unrooted my phone. how can i gain root access. furthermore is their an app and lastly can i do it on a mac?
Look for DROID3 one-click root scripts. There's a version for Mac. This has been discussed many times, and can be found with a quick Google search, too.

ok lets get this out ot the way i have a lg volt wich is updated to the zv4, ive read other threads on how to root.
so far i see that it must be flashed back to the old stock rom to root, my issues are as follows.
1: would prefer not to flash unless installing cyanogenmod or simular rom.
2: have seen issues mentioned with radio(cellular reciver) after flashing mentioned.
for a guy who has flashed a update on 2 phones after roothing and has rooted 5 previous devices i can say this is the first root process that actualy worries me.
im looking at the programs below free and paid.
oneclick root
rootgenuis
