I used the Superuser app available in the android market and z4root.
Just install superuser over the system one. This will let u grant root access to z4root . then use z4root to root your phone. i had no problems with this on my GT540 running 2.1.
if you need help please ask.
really ?
ask for my social network friend.

After an hour searching Google, I came across z4root on these forums, which said it could one-click root my Samsung Acclaim. So I sideloaded it and let it do its permanent root magic. It rebooted with a Superuser app installed, so I assumed it was rooted. I downloaded a terminal emulator app to check this (I looked it up and it said that if you type in su and get #, you're golden) and it said PERMISSION DENIED.
Uhm... ok? I don't know for sure if I have root access. There's still a permanent root and unroot button on my z4root interface, should I try hitting those again?
Download root checker from the market. You might need to install busybox for some root apps to work.

busybox should install with z4 it did on my captivate and superoneclick is good also and it installs busybox also!
Alright, so I tried Root Checker and it says that I'm not rooted when I try "Permanent Root" but it works when I try "Temporary Root." What else could I do to achieve root? Also, it says I'm low on space suddenly.
Try using z4root.

Rooting Samsungs
sdx developers website has some info regarding rooting the acclaim. My advice is to dump any Samsung phone and go with an LG or HTC device. they are much more friendly when it comes to rooting and ROM development.

Looking into that, but I can't exactly dump my Acclaim.
EDIT: SDX Developers guide worked! I've got full root access. Now I'm off to install a ROM. Thanks!
No Problem! Glad to have helped!
try to use a app that need root such as root explorer
or using adb shell su
So I have an SE X10 which I rooted with superonechick which is supposed to have rooted and dl busybox onto my phone. Now what exactly is busybox for and how do I find out if my phone is actually rooted? I know there's somewhere in my phone that I type su and it tells me but I can't remember where to go
And now root checker is saying that I'm not rooted but I have busybox. Which is funny cos when I go to busybox it says that I'm rooted but it's not installed.
Download terminal emulator from market and type in su and got the arrow on KB. If you get a #sign and says terminal emulator has been granted suoeruser permissions you are rooted

If your phone is rooted you will have a su user program. It either will be a skull and cross bones or a ninja holding a sniper rifle as the icon

How can I know my phoone is root or unroot? After I root my phone,what should I do next? I am newbie to Android.Please help me.
GET RID OF BLOAT IF YOU HAVE ANY! DID U GET SUPERUSER PERMISSION WHEN YOU ROOTED? TRY SOME ROOT APPS IN THE MARKET . WHAT KIND OF PHONE IS IT?
Yes.My phone is sony x 8 and I root with superoneclick but I can't see superuser
in menu.How can I do?
i blve there is a app in the market that will check for root but im not sure of the name! i use superoneclick also and it showed up in the app drawer after reboot
download terminal emulator.
then open the app and type: SU
if u get asked for root permission, allow it.
then u should have a # instead of a $ in the terminal, if thats all the case, u are rooted, if not, the root failed
You can download root checker from the market, it will tell you if you're rooted and if busybox is installed. Superuser should be in your app drawer if you are rooted.
But why would you root if you don't know what it does, the benefits of rooting, and what you hope to get from rooting?
Educate yourself. Read the forums and anything you can find before making any system changes. Then, when you're comfortable, flash a rom.
I use Z4Root on mine. Allows perm root as well as temporary root if needed.

(b4 I start, I have searched everywhere!)
I am running 2.1 eclair.
The issue is that I rooted my device with z4root. I have reset the device. And verified that I am rooted, I can see the superuser app.
The issue is that root explorer doesn't show the mount r/w button. So I did some searching which suggested that I download busy box. Busybox says that I am not rooted! Further, android ins't asking me if I want to allow these apps root access.
What can be done?
afaik z4root is for froyo
try universal androot (or search another method up on google)
Hi, I just root my phoneabout a couple minutes ago. I have the superuser icons ib my All Apps screen. However when I open the superuser, there's not any apps on there. Is this normal? Am I rooted?
Thanks for the quick reply!
There aren't any apps listed in there because you probably haven't given or denied root access for any programs yet. Install any app that needs root, run it, it should ask for root access. When you give or deny it, it will show up in the superuser list.

You will probably need to root your device again. If titanium backup cannot access root then your not rooted. Just to be safe, GO to goolge play and download a root checker. Run the root checker, it will verify root or not.
Otherwise, use HTCsupertool to root your device.
Superuser permissions
There aren't any apps listed in in super user. When I try to install any app that needs root, it super user not asking for root access.
Please help.

Did you try any other super app. Remove the one you have and try another.
So, It's been a month since I've rooted my phone
I rooted through Kingoapp.com, and it was easy
My OS is Android 4.4.2 KitKat and as the title says,
I want to change from my Kingo Superuser to any other,
Like a normal superuser or SuperSU.. It's because Kingo Superuser
Won't let me use apps like lucky patcher, AdAway etc
I've tried many methods, changing to SuperSU, but its binaries fails
To download, and the other superuser app just sits there, doesn't ask for
Permissions and stuff... That's why I wanna change my superuser app
Any help or effort will be greatly appreciated
