I have read all this stuff about ADB but I'm not totally sure what that is. I was great with other ways of rooting before this phone but Z4 made that easy I only need root to remove bloatware and really need free wireless tether working as it was on my DX with Froyo. Has root and tht wireless tether been confirmed as working for sure? Anyone have the files needed to root and maybe a step by step to describe it all. I dont even know where to look for this ADB thing. And if successful what tether app would I need. I am new here but I'm tired of looking.
Thanks
Rob
To get adb working you have to download android sdk, to use adb you'll have to change a path in environmental variables( search Google or YouTube for how to) check out 4shared.com forZ4root.apk. or a simple search for rooting Samsung charge, the info is out there and are the videos. Searching is key!! Good luck

There is NO option to install applications from untrusted sources. This means anything on your SD card, downloaded from the web or over your wifi at home WILL NOT WORK. Naturally, you also cannot use the "su" command in terminal.
Therefore, you need to use ADB push in order to get anything done.
Here is an ADB guide Motorola Backflip for AT&T.
[ADB Setup Shortcut/Send to] Motorola Backflip
Once you have all that figured out, you can ROOT using [APP] z4root.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I want to root my thunderbolt but idont know how to use adb theres other app o r something more easy
I suggest you learn, it isn't hard at all, and will help you out in the future.

Rooting is very simple and is basically a copy and paste operation by following this thread.

Go to YouTube and lookup Nat3mil. He
has great step by step videos of the whole process. U'll need to spend some money in Market too for ROM Manager, Root Explorer and a few others. Get the MR2 radio not MR1. Good Luck!
Use the google machine! One click root. It does the adb for you in 3 steps.

Is the process the same with a stock mr2 ruu? From what i understood update using the other mr2 radio leak then update to one of the the roms.

THUNDERBOLT
congrats bro!
I followed the 9 step guide posted on YouTube and it performed flawlessly. 0 issues at all!
I knew nothing about ADB but rooted my phone in about an hour.
congrats I'm planning to upgrade this
weekend to the thudnerbolt and will be looking
to root my device as well
I've been searching to get the answer to my wifi
question but i can't seem to find a definite answer.
- after rooting, what do you use to get wifi tether?
pdanet, android wifi tether any others you'd recommend?
Nice I'm waiting to root my phone like I did my DX with just an app
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Pretty easy to do and if you watch the video and do it step by step you can't go wrong...so easy a caveman could do it.
Congrats Carlito, welcome to the rooted world. You'll never go back.
Coliny, once I rooted I got Rom Manager immediately and a few other root apps. I flashed the radio after flashing new rom - worked fine.

I agree. Learning how adb works is a huge help when it comes to problems down the road. Not hard to understand the basics.
I've looked everywhere for a root exploit that works for my LG Axis as740 but to no avail. I've even tried using methods that work on sister phones Apex and Ally. If anyone has information that could be of use to me PLEASE post it here thank you
try 4shared.com ...(Ginger break.apk) or just Google Ginger break.... think blog in XDA with download.Link that's what I had to use for mine
Ya that did it thank you. Have you (or anyone for that matter) tested any custom roms? There's obviously a lack of community support for this device.
Have you tryed SuperOneClick? It worked for me. Also using SuperOneClick also has the advantage of being able to go into the ADB dir and being able to use adb as log as you have the lgas740 windows driver installed. There is a SuperOneClick section here in the XDA forums, look it up, and give it a go. When you connect your phone to a computer using usb, start the superoneclick program and set the exploit to auto. Both permenent and shell root work for axis.

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 feel like i've been searching all morning for a way to use .ttf files for system font.s. I absolutely do not want to root my phone, so I'm wondering how I can get this font from dafont on my phone called cafe & brewery...I usually use the flipfonts on the google market that are $0.99 but I wish I could just use my own. Can anyone help me out? I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section.

I tried using z4root. I don't think it works with the samsung stratosphere. & I know this board is the galaxy 3, but from what I heard they're practically the same phones. There's no easy way to root a stratosphere, & even though I'm pretty decent with technology surrounding computers and blackberry's, I am relatively new to android software. :/

Download SuperOneClick v1.9.5.0, enable "USB debugging" option under "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging" on your phone, connect it to PC and click the big ROOT button and you're one of the happy ROOTed users out there in XDA
z4ROOT works for this phone also, but only on 2.1 (Eclair). For 2.2, use the method described above. HAPPY WARRANTY VOIDING
buh.....you can flash any custom kernel with adb root and push fonts to your system without rooting it...
