Hi!
I bouhgt an Imito im7s tablet with android 2.1 installed.
I want to root it but I dont know which software to use.
I read about z4root but I dont know if there is another software.
Will z4root make permanent damage if it doesnt work?
What should I do?
Thank you!
Since noone answered... I tried z4root and rooted the tablet without any issue
Yea it wouldn't damage anything, it just wouldn't work. Cool that you got it working.

I'm currently in love with my un-rooted Droid, but now that I know that wifi tethering is available for rooted phones, I kinda feel like I should root. Does anyone have any other good reasons for me to root to persuade me? Also, could someone please tell me if there is a good rom, like if cyanogen's most recent rom has a Droid version? Is there an easy, simple and safe way to root it? Please help!

if you root your droid, you can move the cache to sdcard and gain 40mg of space also
Can't I just do that with Astro file manager?

The most common reason to root a droid:
Because I bought it.. I use it.. and I CAN
A little known fact is that the Reasons NOT to Root Your Droid is always shorter

Custom roms that run better (cyanogen ftw!), turn your phone into a wifi hotspot, back-up paid apps, apps2sd, nandroid backups, just to name a few reasons... oh yeah because you can!!
Not all android users are so lucky to unlock the full potential of their phone (stupid backflop )
Overclock and control battery life better with profiles, custom roms, custom everything!
I just got my wifi only Xoom today. I also have a Motorola Atrix, which is rooted and running a custom rom. I was reading on here about rooting and kernels and other things and I didn't understand it. Can someone please help me understand the differences between the Xoom tablet and an android phone. Thanks

They are practically the same, but methods for rooting devices change per device. The Xoom requires a little extra work.
Do you have the JDK and Android Development Kit installed on your PC?
Are you comfortable with command lines?
Can you afford to purchase another Xoom if you brick this one?

Well I've had it rooted now for a week and today I went to the app and there was an update and the update failed and now superuser doesn't work and now I pretty much don't have root access. Please can anyone help.

I was wondering if anyone has tried or if they know if gingerbreak works on the O3D. I have unlocked Rogers O3D and was thinking of trying it out
I'd love to know the same thing

you mean Gingerbread? right?
i think it'll be better if we wait for official 2.3.. when it arrives the developers will cook better ROMs (i hope)..
Wait until CyanogenMod comes to the O3D, it wont work right now since there's no ROM with it for the O3D, probably would start if you compiled it yourself but that's about it, it wouldn't be functional.
Im thinking he means the root app gingerbreak. The one used to root a phone via a app installed on phone. It worked for my ATRIX when I was on froyo.

ya i was talking about the root exploit. Has anyone tried it on the O3D
I think you'll find most people used superoneclick as that works just fine for root.
Doesn't gingerbreak come under super user as an option? sure i used the gingerbreak method to root my phone. can't remember where I got the software though???
Why would someone need to root the phone twice? Superoneclick works perfectly and the procedure is very easy and fast as hell.
Whenever i tried superoneclick on my comp with my nexus it always hanged. Most likely some problem with my comp so i wanted to use gingerbreak so root straight on my phone without the computer
I would like links to do so/.apk. I did this to my dell streak 7 rooted with the gingerbreak1.2.apk stock works great. Any help would be nice. I like to hack game and remove bloatwear plus the other user friendly features. I don't have a computer I chose my ds7 instead of a pc. Cliq XT was first device. Any help would+1 rep.
Wow. Z4root......i havent used that sense my Droid X days. Its extremely outdated. The dev never updated the app to work with new devices so it will not work on any device anymore. Universal root is even older then z4root so that wont work at all. And gingerbreak is only for 2.3+ devices only. So no none of them will work. Sorry.

Well put, greg!
Well gingerbreak worked on my dell streak 7 stock 2.2.2 froyo so no its not just for gingerbread 2.3
Just looking for root access. I don't want to change stock software.
Arcade shopper linked you to the rooting method of the phone. Its not hard to download and press a button. Because that's seriously how easy it is.just have to have a computer. I'm pretty sure none of the market apps work to root our sidekick. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

I don't have a computer and just about every device you can find a .apk root app. So I ask again is their another way other than using a computer to root. NO Computer!
You HAVE TO AND NEED TO use a computer to root the SK4G. This device has no app to auto root the device for you.
UnlockRoot
UnlockRoot worked great on my SK4G - very straightforward and very effective. More stable than SuperOneClick by far.
Is unlock root a computer program or what? I used super one click at but buddies house it worked fine. Simple to download the drivers for the phone then super one click extract files and click root bam done, but and app would have been so much easier.
I recently purchased this 10" KOCASO dual sim tablet!! Its not a power house with its 1.2 dual core and 1 GB Ram but it looks good and has full gsm capabilities so I have searched XDA from A-Z and there are threads on every KOCASO tablet made I think except the M1069!! Does anyone know of a root method and hopefully a custom recovery for this unit??? Any info is appreciated, fixing to try towelroot with fingers crossed!!!! Lol

Did you use the app or PC version of King root? Did Towelroot work?
