So yes I am and idiot. I have my phone root using the 1 click method.
I saw froyo 2.2 was out and i decided to download it now I don't have root access but I have super user app permanently in my apps. Is there a way I can re root my phone without wiping it? I have been searching for hours now, but can't seem to find a solid method I also tried the adb method too. Please help!!!

the steps in the link above did not work.... any one have any other suggestions?
Yo I got root access on my vortex with 2.2.1 used superoneclick with rageagainstthecage exploit. Clicked shell root first, then clicked root. Worked for me good luck!
That worked for my wife's but then I got one and it isn't working that way at all. Tried to downgrade, and i get a version error.
I actually put together a downgrading tutorial to fix some of the technicalities not mentioned in some of the other ones. Let me know if that helps anyone out.

(I can't post links yet, but I feel like this may help you guys)
I was able to get root on my wife's Vortex, which has the 2.2.1 OTA, by manually pushing psneuter to /data/local/tmp then pushing su,busybox,Superuser.apk to /system.
It's a manual method but works very well.
NO MORE CITY ID
ROOT 2.2.2
Gingerbreak roots the Vortex 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 painlessly no downgrade necessary.
Update from Kies to 2.2.1 will not allow Z4 root to work. I've tried to root via Superone click and Z4 root and neither seem to work. Anyone else run into this issue or find a way to root the phone? I had the phone rooted and unrooted before the update via US Cellular's website.
Same problem here as well!

Same thing here. I have tried rooting my phone after the kies froyo update using all the methods you described that worked flawlessly on eclair 2.1 and now they don't work! I can't even get voodoo lagfix to load with 3-button combo like I had done so many times before. Could Samsung have loaded on a boot locker now like motorola phones??

I used "super one click" and it rooted fine (rageagainstthecage mode). Might want to try that out. This was on the official 2.2 release. You will have to reboot the phone after the program does its thing.

This is what worked for me. z4root doesn't work on rooting EC10.
Download the Samsung USB drivers here if you haven't already.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c..._USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate.msi
Connect your phone to your computer, let it do it's thing. If it asks about the drivers not being verified just click "Continue anyway."
Then grab SuperOneClick from here, unzip it, open SuperOneClick and click Root. Let it do it's thing for a bit, say yes when it asks to test Su then reboot your phone and you're good to go.

One of the things that I found that helped was changing the USB properties on the Mez. I set it to Ask, tried connecting to One-Click, disconnected, then changes the setting to Samsung Keis and reconnected. After that, it was able to root.
Mine rooted with no errors after USCC upgrades on wiped phone. I installed from /download directory on SD.
i was able to root my freshly installed official 2.2 from USCC website by using superoneclick, i used the psneuter root, changed usb settings to ask upon connection, hooked up my phone, clicked root on superoneclick and it rooted with no problem.
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 just got my infuse yesterday, i tried using the rage against the cage root program(infuserootunlock), but even after installing kies and my drivers. it still says error: device not found. But, i can adb to the device.. So, after trying that a couple times(none being successful). I decided to use superoneclick, which has now frozen pushing su-v2... Im hoping it will work, but i dont see anything happening on the phone...
What can i do to root? Can i push an update.zip? Ive had a captivate and it was reletively easy to do.

When you root the Infuse you will not see anything happening on the phone screen itself.
If you cannot root and all else fails, here is a way you can over come the problem: You can put your phone into "download" mode and flash this froyo 2.2.1 odin flash rom from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251&highlight=unbrick
I know your phone is NOT bricked but if you read all the information in the link above you will see that if all else fails and you cannot root, just follow the step by step guide in the link using Odin3 (tar file rom flasher).
After you flashed the phone you can simply use the superoneclick to root it.
I have done this several times already. After you root it and install Rom Manager you will be able to install/flash custom roms the zip file method which all the devs here use for their custom roms.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
I had that same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Tried bout everything I could think of even different usb port. It took alot of trial and error to be honest I dont even know what I did. Just that I finally got it to work. Both the one click and the unlook/root.
It took me 4 tries with super one click. I unplugged - remounted then unmounted SD card - switched USB ports and it finally took.

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.
