Hi, I have bought an Ace ME ROM version for my fiancée that had Eclair installed. I rooted the phone using superoneclick v1.9.1 and everything was working fine. Then my fiancée connected to Kies and tried to upgrade to Froyo however the phone hang and she removed the battery and then the phone was not working anymore. I got the phone to work again by reverting to factory settings from the recovery mode screen, and the phone was upgraded to Froyo. However, the phone lost its root, and I am not able to root it again, once trying SuperOneClick the phone hangs on waiting for device (even though I tried all remedies to this issue that are available online). I tried to install Z4root on the phone to root without connection to PC however the application crashes when I click root or unroot.
By the way, the phone says that it is rooted in the settings/About phone/Kernel version screen.
I would appreciate any help on how to re-root the phone as due to low capacity, app to SD and removing stock apps is necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a Motorola Droid. It just updated to froyo 2.2.2 and I lost most of my root access. When I try z4root it says I am already rooted. When I try to use any apps that require su access it gives me an error message or it says partition can't be found. Is there any fixes?
I have the same problem... and have been working to try to fix for several days. If anyone can help it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
found a solution
USAFREEBIRD,
I found a solution. I uninstalled super one click and reinstalled version 1.7
Once opened, it ran and said my phone was rooted. When trying to use the wireless tether, it came back with a message that the phone was not rooted.
I turned the phone off, and upon relaunch wireless tether worked! My phone is back to root access! Good luck!
I tried that and it didn't work for me. Any suggestions?
How can I bring my Droid X2 from Verizon back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I rooted my phone using MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe "pete's motorolla tools"
I removed bookmarks and I removed two or three verizon stock apk like Blockbuster and Slacker. Also allowed super user permission for apps like barnicle wifi tether and a screenshot program. I have done nothing else.
I recently got the request to upgrade to 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US but I can not upgrade.
Attempt #1
I factory reset the hard way. Hold power plus volume down... The phone boots back up and I still have Superuser icon showing but everything else is different. I realized at that time I would have to unroot but I could not remember which program I used to root my phone.
Attempt #2
I ended up installing gingerbreak and used the unroot uption on that program to unroot my phone. It said successful. I tried to install the update and it failed. I factory reset the phone and it failed. IDK why but I attempted to root the phone again using gingerbreak after that... but gingerbreak would not root my phone again, it just sat there doing nothing for an hour and 30 minutes.
Attempt #2
I searched more and found the program I originally used. I loaded it up and clicked the unroot option. It unrooted my phone sucessfully. I attempted to upgrade and it failed again!
Attempt #3
I ran the temporary root that came with MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe . Thinking maybe gingerbreak messed up some files and I needed to restore them for the unroot to work properly. The temporary root was not what I had used the first time so I'm thinking maybe I should have done the permanant root... I then unrooted the phone again. After that, I factory reset again and attempted to upgrade the phone. Still fails.
I havn't removed or modified any sytem folders. I simply deleted bookmarks and Blockbuster and other useless stock apps. I've unrooted and factory reset but blockbuster and the stock applications never come back...
I can't upgrade my phone and I need some help. I can't remember what came with the phone by default so IDK how to manually set it back. Please, how can I resolve this? How can I bring my phone back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I want that ugrade.
Notherwise fully aware if we have a forum for your device but if we do....head in over to that place and look fir the "stock ROM" for your device.
First thing is first....you need ti remove root...not familiar with device so don't know is stock Rom will restore root.
Another option is to go to the first thread on this forum and ask Samuel.....he might be able to help.
Cheers and good luck mate
I don't want to restore the root. Honestly I never really used the super user features for anything other than screenshots.
I have no roms or anything. This is just 2.3.3 with the root enabled. I did lurk around and find a link to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf but I'm not sure if that is what I need to do? Will an SBF restore my phone and applications so I can upgrade again?
Update to my previous post. I searched around like I should have in the first place.
I used RSDLite 5.3 to flash my phone to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf. Which was android 2.2.2
I was then able to update the phone to version 2.3.3 and then finally 2.3.4 official OSA over wifi.
Hello all,
I have had my Galaxy i5500 for awhile now and have used odin to flash updates for the firmware etc.
I have recently rooted my phone using Superoneclick and this worked fine. Overclocked the phone, and ran a number of Apps using SuperUser Access to gain all the benefits from this.
I installed Titanium Backup and Installed it on my SD Card, this caused a number of problems and I had to pull the battery on my phone to reboot it. Anyway it then hung at the GT-I5500 screen and I ended up having to download a new firmware (not custom) and use Odin to update it.
I now have a working phone, however I now can't root it. I have tried Superoneclick, that no longer works. I have also tried Universal Androot..with that I get an error message of Root Failed - No Fu Guu (or something like that) and I have just tried using z4root... with that it says acquiring Root Shell and then it just kicks me out...have checked and it's not rooted.
I also can't seem to access the reboot menu on my phone (the one where you press a couple of buttons to enter the menu where you can factory set your phone.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Other than these problems mentioned, the phone works as it should
Solved....
It took awhile of trying different root software but.... after reflashing my phone with another stock rom, I found Super One Click still didn't work, nor did z4root or universal Androot (I'm guessing it would have worked without reflashing a different rom).
I did however find that Unlock Root 2.2 worked! My phone is now flashed, no error messages and I have Superuser Access!! Now time to install a custom bootloader and start with the custom roms!!
Okay I've got myself into quite the predicament. Here is what happened. First of all I have been enjoying the benefits of having root access on my Indulge. When I heard there was an official Gingerbread update for this phone I decided to give it a go and install it using Kies Mini. It installed fine and everything worked great! There was but one problem...I could not root it. I searched forever for a solution, but could not find one. After awhile I decided to give up. I decided to downgrade back to 2.2.1 Froyo using this method. That was a very bad mistake. All this method does is overwrite the /system partition. Yes I am now running Froyo, however, the Gingerbread updated more than just the /system partition. In the About Phone it says my Firmware version is 2.2.1, but it says my Baseband version is EL06 when it should be EE05. I wouldn't have a problem with any of this if it weren't for the CONSTANT reboots. I am able to use my phone for ten minutes max before it reboots again...In fact it just did it again. Now I have tried to reinstall the Gingerbread upgrade, but Kies Mini says "Unregistered Device" in the "Firmware Version" and I am unable to receive the upgrade. I am guessing this is because it cannot detect which Firmware my phone has. I have also tried doing a factory reset many times with no luck. I have lost all hope. Will somebody please help me? I don't care if I end up with Froyo or Gingerbread, root or no root, I just want my phone to work!
After having a look at some of the specs of my phone I'm under the conclusion that it may be a clone, but either way its for the Chinese market and I have had lots of little problems with the phone, from youtube not working properly, to apps shutting down sometimes, and most frustrating is that Google Play Services is not working, so no Gmail app and most recently I wanted to use PushBullet and I could not.
So far I have succesfully rooted it using some oneclick root and have verified it by downloading a root checker. I am completely new with rooting and flashing phones and using the oneclick, it was the first time I had rooted a phone. I'm not sure where to go next for flashing the ROM. Anyone have any advice or tips on how to proceed? I have tried ODIN but it doesn't seem to recognize the phone at all.
