Yes i rooted my nexus using the pdanet method pretty much one click root. I need to unroot it so i can return the device. Ive seen diffrent methods on how to do this. im unable to get adb to work. Cant find the right drivers a i guess so any help would be great.
I don't know of any method not using adb.
ok then how do i set up adb for the nexus.
Easiest is to follow this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

Hey guys, new to the forum here, and I really want to root my phone but I've been having some issues.
I tried the galaxy s captivate one-click root program, but it seems my computer isn't recognizing my phone correctly, therefore causing an error in the program.
I have downloaded all of the samsung drivers for my computer and followed the steps exactly for the one click root, all with no luck.
If somebody could help me out, that would be great.
Search the forums for z4root, you can root your device from within android using the app.
For anymore questions on adb or connecting to your pc, please read my adb for dummies guide(link is in my sig).

Hey, i have windows 7 and a captivate. I have mine rooted.
I used this page for detailed instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
If you have problems, post again on this and i will try to help out. This is the method i used, and it was simple. It is the "one click root". Just follow the instructions and you will have an AWESOME phone in no time.
But, one word of advice. Your phone may go slow after the root for about 10 minutes. Just bare with it, it will get faster and awesome. It has a lot to reload back up, and you will find the "super user" app on your phone afterward
Thanks guys,
I ended up having to sideload the z4root app, but from there it was a breeze. now i just need to do some research on which ROM i want.
So, here's my story. I am trying to gain root access to my Galaxy S II Skyrocket. I see a lot of posts/replies of other people having success with SuperOneClick 2.2 using the zerg exploit but for some reason mine just hangs and doesn't go any further. To kind of backtrack, I was able to root my first Galaxy S II Skyrocket, but then I had charging issues so I exchanged it for a replacement. Now, the replacement will not root. And even with the first one I had a hard time gaining root. It took me several, several attempts to get it working. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Few things...
- Samsung Galaxy S II is currently on stock 2.3.5 with firmware UCKJ2
- USB debugging has been turned on
- Samsung USB drivers have been successfully installed on PC
- Using Windows XP
- Using SuperOneClick 2.2 with zerg exploit
- Tried uninstalling USB drivers and reinstalling
The status one the SuperOneClick is as follows...
Killing ADB server
Starting ADB server
Waiting for device...
That's it. Nothing else beyond that. And on the right hand side it indicates this...
It's keep stating that 'daemon not running... starting in now on port 5037' and it keeps looping and eventually does not move.
I've tried using different methods of rooting this such as Skyrocket-Easy-Root and Doom's EasyRoot 1.0 and the 'daemon not running... starting it now on port 5037' message occurs on those as well.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON because the regular Samsung Galaxy S II and other devices go through just fine. I know it can be done because obviously other users are successful with root and I was too with my first Skyrocket.
The only advice that "I" can give you is to post in the correct forum. You'll likely get a much quicker response than posting in the development section. I'm sure there's someone over there willing to help you. Good luck my friend.

You use odin to flash cwm recovery tar......then flash the super user zip in cwm.....
The files needed and instructions are in that thread....read them carefully, and follow them exactly ....its really very easy
Try to do factory wipe again. I was having problem rooting after Odin. I did a factory wipe and www tried it and it worked.

Do THIS. I'm not sure why you were even trying all that other stuff, but this is the proper root and CWM installation method.

I used this guide and had no problems and I'm a noob too

Also, install pdanet for Android before starting this guide (it should be in the NS One Click Root 2.0. folder that is linked to in step 0. So when you download and unzip the folder find pdanet and install it, then proceed with the guide.
Its easy you'll be fine.
apparently i didn't root my phone, i thought i did but something went wrong.
in the video, where you set your device and build, i do that and i'm sure i chose the right options, it tries to
download "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-crespo.img" but it says mismatch under hashcheck.
Anyone can help me with this problem? My phone is unlocked, i just can't get it to root.
problem solved.
i plugged my USB at the back instead of the front of my desktop computer.
Hello, everybody! I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Young s6310 and I want to root it. I have read about rooting, and about different methods of doing so, and I resorted to Framaroot, which didn't quite work. I tried many versions of Framaroot, and every single try had two outcomes: the Aragorn exploit didn't work, the Gandalf crashed (I tried restarting the app 5 or 6 times, but still it wouldn't work).
So Framaroot would be out of the picture. A quick mention: my phone had JB 4.1.2 as a default OS, and most of them come with GB 2.3.6.
I abandoned the idea of rooting it with Framaroot, and I saw another possibility in SRSROOT. Did anyone root his phone with SRSROOT? Are there any risks involved? (mainly in the rooting process, not what it implies afterwards) I have heard that this method is safe, because no flash is required, you just connect your phone to USB, press a button and it's done. Another method I found was the Unlockroot application.
What is the simplest method to root my phone? And the safest one, of course.

I have a Galaxy Nexus so I don't know many ways to root the Galaxy Y. But I have a solution to root it that almost certainly will work.
First flash or boot a custom recovery than flash the latest supersu.

It says there to "flash with Odin". Not sure how to do that, you might want to check Google.
I tried flashing a recovery file from Djalo96's FTP, and Odin doesn't recognize my phone while in download mode, and yes, I have the ADB and fastboot drivers. Odin detects my phone while in normal mode, but when in download, it doesn't show me anything. Sheesh, I never knew it was SO hard to root a phone. I heard something about unlocking the bootloader. I understand the concept behind this, but how do I achieve that?
P.S. I tried rooting it with Unlockroot Pro and SRSROOT and it didn't work. I suppose it's because of this bootloader issue.
Try universal root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230 it worked on my S6310N

you have the samsung drivers do you? you don't need to unlock anything, i have rooted mine with the same guide, and it worked, so if you have installed kies or just the samsung usb driver it should work. you dont need adb or fastboot drivers, odin and samsung drivers should be enough
Try flashing update.zip for sgy.... Google it
JUST PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED...
i root my galaxy young with framaroot 1.6
just choose supersu and gandaf then root and reboot
Find the update.zip file for sgy and zip it using cwm. Also download the update-unroot.zip file in case you need to unroot later on
Press thanks button

Hello everyone. I recently got an OPO from my friend. I am trying to clean it up and root it and install TWRP and all that stuff. I am trying to use the toolkit but to do that I believe I am required to remove the default driver and install ADB drivers. Unfortunately, when I try to uninstall the "A0001" from the device manager, it will let me uninstall but not detele (there is no tick option). Can someone please suggest how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

first off dont use a toolkit and learn how to do it the right way. Secondly have you simply tried to install proper drivers and boot into fastboot mode to check if they worked. I understand you have old drivers but that does not mean they do not work. I use a program called adb minimal which installs the right drivers all the time.
rooting is very simple with some very simple guides, please look into doing it manually since fastboot drivers load so much easier in my opinion. If you need a hand just ask me.

Tbh I am a newbie. I was using Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 with Wugfresh Toolkit and it was super simple. Hence my preference for using toolkits. I downloaded adb minimal but since I am new to this I don't know what to do from there. Can you please point me to somewhere I can specifically root/install twrp and all that for OPO using adb? Thanks.

Honestly to remove the noob tag things like reading up on manual root methods are a good thing. Now that being said generally in any thread in xda the general section will always have the best root method. Also it normally would be stickied and at the top.
here is a nice root method I used my friend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788632
very simple and straight forward - the only difference would be the folder used. Since minimal places everything in your program files folder please make sure you transfer all files needed to that folder.
Again let me know if you need any further assistance.
