Im new to the rooting game and was hoping someone could give me an easy way to root my galaxy s 2.2 vibrant and some good reading about the whole root experience.
A way to unroot my phone would be helpful as I have been haing some problems with my phone. I believe these to be Samsung software issues such as stuck in thee booting prosess. Im on my second phone and have had to hard reset it several times

In the forum search look fo "z4root". I used it to root my epic . It took a few uninstall-reinstall-reboot-run-repeat cycles but I am successfully rooted and didn't even need a PC
Epic is as Epic does
Thanks ill try that.

Is that even on the market anymore?
I used one click lag fix to root mine

I tried the z4root and another one click root I found on the forums nneither of them worked. Probably because im running 2.2. I found a one click root using a computer so I think that will be my next attempt

Not sure on the visionary method... All I have read on the G2x forums pertains to using a computer.
Visionary only pertains to those HTC devices with that nand-protection You'll need a computer to root
Ok I found one to use today after work... Damn we don't have much development support for this phone...

I'm trying to root my inspire, can anyone tell me the best way to do this. I tried the Ginger break but it didn't seem to work.

Best thing to do is hit the link below and read the first page and the last 10 pages. If you get stuck check his sig. His irc chat should be there.

I don't know what the deal is, maybe my pc just sucks. I've installed the hack file and I read the manuel. The process fails everytime, it tells me either USB debugging isn't enabled, my phone isn't connected or the drivers are not installed. It can only be the drivers, so I read that the drivers are included in the file, ill try and install them and it fails everytime. I have no idea what it could be.

Install HTC sync from the HTC website, turn off your antivirus, make sure USB debugging is enabled, put in the SD Card you want to make a goldcard out of, hook up your phone and let 'er rip.

It does, what I think he ment was when you install HTC sync it also installs the drivers. When you uninstall it you have the option of keeping the drivers which is what you want

is the ituneshelper.exe running? if not, try killing that process via task manager.
Ill try and reinstall sync just for the drivers.

The options are to remove or fix, if I hit fix it just does the same thing over again, if I hit remove, than it just removes whatever is there. I'm stuck.

Bummer... Well I hope installing sync does the trick. Other than that, do you have access to another computer you can do all this on?

I have a super slow net book which I already tried, It gives me the same issues when installing the drivers.

You can have htc installed you just have to shut it down. When you first plug in your phone htc sync will start up. In your system icon tray there will be a little phone icon. Right click it and hit exit. If htc is actually running ace hack kit won't start.

The only thing you have to do is read, follow instructions and make sure the proper files are in the proper locations.

Thanks haven't seen that before. Would the sdk and drivers from my incredible work? I can use adb on her phone. My problem was I can't even get temp root

Yes. SDK and drivers from HTC incredible SHOULD work. If you can get adb you're half the way there.
Please post the errors/problems you are having with getting temproot.
I was rooted....then I did the LG update and flashed Stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread. I wanna go back to Weapon, but RomManager is not opening. Did the update unroot my phone??
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
LG and almost every other phone manufacturer or service provide don't send out rooted updates. So yes, your phone is no longer rooted.

Ok, thanks. I know what I'll be doing when I get home from work later.

Superoneclick doesn't work on Gingerbread, I believe. Try flashing a custom recovery from NVFlash.

I've been doing a little bit of reading, and I keep seeing that the G2x Gingerbread 2.3.3 can't be rooted yet? Is this true?

No that's false. Nvflash clockwork and flash the root zip. It will root gingerbread

Use NVflash to flash cwm then install weapon. ROM Manager is useless on the g2x
