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.

I am quite the newb when it comes to android and rooting period, if I already rooted my phone with a simple oneclick root, and want to use a new oneclick root, one with clockworkmod as part of it, can I just reroot by following the oneclick steps or do I need unroot first?

Well if you already have CWM installed then you shouldn't need to use the new version of the one-click-root method. All this does is simplify the actions even further by doing both tasks at once. If you do want to, for some reason, use the newest root method then I would suggest unrooting first just in case any errors occur with files already existing etc. Hope this helps!
Technically you shouldn't need to do an uninstall, but it doesn't hurt either...
I have rom manager but I don't think I have cwm. Everytime I test it by rebooting I get an error message and the options are still blue unlike the green options that I have seen if cwm is working. Is there some way to just install or flah or whatever it is cwm? If so, where do I get it and how do I do it? Thanks

Rom manager won't work unless you have a kernel that supports it. I'm assuming that if you are rooting then it is the stock kernel and rom manager install won't work. You can install right over it if you want. Honestly the simplest way for me to do this was z4root from market and then clockworkmod recovery one click. Not the all in one. The try this last.bat seems to be less prone to failure. And if it is giving you trouble I might suggest that you install the usb drivers on another computer and run cwm rec from a thumb drive.

What... the easiest way is to download noobnl one click zip and the drivers.
Install the drivers (exe). Restart the pc and the phone. Plug in the phone and let it install the phone. As long as it installs adb driver you'll be fine. Extract and open the one click and start the .exe in there. A black window opens, press enter and it should go to town. If you hit enter and it pauses. Just restart the pc again and unplug the phone. Open the one click .exe again, plug the phone in and hit enter. It will go.
Phone restarts and your good to go with clockwork.
5 roots, 5 different computers. Perfect every time. Noobnl has made this cake.

I used the noobnl oneclickexploit when i rooted my phone, i have not flashed any roms or kernels that i know of, please hold my hand and walk me through the process of what i should do to get clockworkmod flashed, should i follow the steps listed above or do i have to do something more?
Honestly, I prefer using the all-in-one batch file.
Install your drivers (if you haven't already)
Turn on debugging mode on your phone
Extract the .zip from the link above somewhere on your pc.
Plug phone into computer and let it recognize.
Run run.bat from the .zip you downloaded.
Press 1 to reroot. It will remove previous roots. Say yes when it asks, andlet it do its thing.
Press 3 to install CWM, say yes, let it do its thing.
And that's it. I've had some phones hang the first time rooting, but after restarting the phone it usually works. Also, keeping the screen alive seems to help. Always give it a few minutes to do its thing, but if it hangs, restart the phone and try again. It may help to restart the computer. I've seen one computer with buggy drivers that refused to do this or odin, but I have successfully done it with both my laptop and my work computer without too much trouble.
Press 1 and 3 on what, my phone or my computer?

on computer. when you run it, it'll be a command prompt and you can just follow the instructions on it.
Ok, I understand all those steps, thank you. Next question, is there a place where I can find clockworkmod by itself, if so where, and how do I install?

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.
http://www.shortfuse.org/
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.
Ok so im a noob to this android thing, ive successfully rooted my phone twice with super one click and it worked perfect but as soon as i flashed my phone with "odin Ec10 with root+cw" it all went crazy. i could not get root access from any of my apps. So i used odin to flash it back to 2.1 and rooted it with super one click, bt when it sent the SU test i got nothing, i downloaded root checker and tested to see if i had it rooted but it gave me this:
Root acess is not properly configured or was not granted
SU binary not found in the system declared path.
Now i flashed 2.2 with odin and its still giving me the same thing. super one click is not doing its job and im stuck with an unrooted phone. i also tried restoring to factory settings and wiping cache but still nothing. maybe something messed up in the system folder or something idk, if you need more info ill answer anything, ill be active on the forum for a while.
Check and make sure USB Debugging is enabled in the phone's settings under Applications -> Development.
i tried that, still didnt work.
This may sound a bit stupid but have you tried rebooting the phone? I've flashed ROMs before where I wouldn't get SU access on the initial boot and had to reboot it to get it to start doing its thing.
ok i got it!!!! I guess SUper One Click only roots my phone when i start Super One click and wait for it to way "waiting for device" i turn on my phone, as the Samsung logo pops up S.O.C. starts rooting it Correctly. Finally after my 12th flash (lol) it works. thanks anyways guys. Hopefully no one else has this problem.
Strange, but hey, whatever works. Glad you got it fixed.
Evo 3D on Android 4.0.3, root fail
I had updated my HTC Evo 3D OTA from 2.3.3 to Android 4.0.3 software version 3.28.707.1 then unlocked it using HTC Method. Unlock success than I flashed recovery with CWM Shooter. Flash success but when I load recovery, the phone just boot up normally. CWM screen not loaded to load custom ROM.
When I open ROM Manager it says:
You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instruction to root your phone.
When I open SUperuser apps it says:
su binary not found
I already tried USB debugging mode, and flash with other .img with other version of CWM. Still not working.
Alright so I've been on the computer for 2 straight days trying to root, I've downloaded drivers downloaded Google addons, when I try and update driver it says none are found yet I do everything correctly, also I flashed ClockWorkMod on but it can't find the SD card (maybe because it's not rooted?) Also I've tried using the superoneclick flash or whatever its called and gets stuck on waiting for device. I read that maybe CWM didn't work properly is because I installed it incorrectly, so when I go to reinstall using NVFlash it noe says USB device not found. I have flashed cyanogen on my hd2 with much ease but tthis is apparently rocket science, well anyways I need all the help I can get from you experts so PLEASE any advice or assistance is much appreciated. Thanks

Follow the link in my signature that says "rooted". Are those the instructions you followed? Or did you do something else? And yes, the superoneclick method no longer works. It generally worked on 2.2 devices, but after the 2.3 update, it rarely worked.

Yeah I followed a lot of rooted instructions and those are one of them, but it says can't mount SD card and even if it doesn't need the SD card it says installation aborted.
I don't know if you still need help, but I will try nonetheless. No matter what your phone came with, nv flash cwm 5020 then flash any rooted rom you want. You need to remove your battery then hold down both volume buttons, then plug your usb cord in. Your looking for new apex device in device manager. If you are successful, the next time you do this, you will see your device as a nvidia bootloader device in usb connections in device manager.

I need to root. After bricking and using odin to get back to stock, my phone wont root again. why, you ask? well, because the phone will not connect to the computer via adb interface. I have usb debugging on, I connect my phone, it installs to the computer, but adb wont work for me. neither will super one click. is there a way to root without using a computer? maybe through terminal emulator? or an app that will work? I know z4 wont work i tried it. someone please give me some advice here. im on xp, i have tried different drivers, tried rebooting the phone, nothing works. please help.

I bricked my sk4g due to bad rom flash. I wanted to try one click unbrick, but couldnt get it to work on my computer. So my only other option was to odin it back to stock. before bricking, i had rooted it with superoneclick. i immediately tried superoneclick after odin. several different things would happen. one, it would go through the whole process and say i was rooted, but root checker pro would say i didnt have root. two, superoneclick would tell me my device was unreadable. i would ignore it and it would go through, but still not rooted. three, superoneclick would hang after killing the adb server. I then attempted to root manually. I downloaded rageagainstthecage and atempted to push it through a command prompt. I have sdk installed and all the other necessary things for a manual root. but when i typed adb devices in command prompt, the list came up empty. i deleted all the drivers, plugged the phone back in, and let the drivers reinstall several times, but my device still will not connect to the adb interface. the drivers are installing, and the usb is connecting through storage mode and firmware update mode, but not through adb no matter what i do. i am on windows xp and i do not have another computer to use. someone please tell me how to root another way or possibly flash a rooted rom through odin. thank you.

And now you should successfully rooted on stock firmware
some of those pages I have already been to. the stock rom you linked is the rom I used to odin my phone. some of those pages were confusing to me, and as far as cwm recovery goes, need root to change recovery binary. before bricking, I had root and cwm. what i need (sorry to sound like such a noob) is a step by step in this thread. please dont post links to me unless they apply to my particular situation. superoneclick, odin, cwm, these are all things i already know how to do. my question is how can i root if my phone wont connect to my pc through adb?
also, odin still recognizes my phone. i can still brick my phone and odin it all day long if i want to. I used the tutorial in one of the links you posted and downloaded the odexed stock rom and followed the tutorial exactly. the phone works, but i cant root it. there has to be someone who can help me figure this out.
bumping this thread hoping someone out there has some useful info for me. thanks
Did you turn on USB debugging?
settings->applications->development->USB Debugging
yes I did. adb is not connecting.
basically what I need is a way to flash a rooted rom through odin or another way to root without using adb. possibly without connecting to the computer, like through terminal emulator or something?
what if I added superuser, busybox, and su to my stock odin rom that I have and just odin again? would that give me root?

You can root the phone fine do it after the odin

xtrem88, do you understand what I am saying? I bricked my phone and had to use odin to get it back to stock. now my phone will not root. superoneclick runs, but for some reason doesnt configure root properly. i end up with superuser installed, but no root. when i try to root through command prompt, i type in adb devices and the list comes back empty. what I think I want to do at this point is odin a rooted rom.
Ohhh ok now i get it you got to. Odin it again and do not connect storage

I am updating the firmware through kies mini right now, since the firmware i odin'd wasnt the latest. I just unmounted and removed the sd card. are you saying that was the problem before?
Yeah dont use the sd card

I got it rooted. Im on KD1 firmware, but at least I am rooted. I feel like a simpleton, though. Wait till I tell you what the problem was. I was using superoneclick the whole time, and it wasnt working. I re-read the tutorial for the umpteenth time to see if I had missed anything, and it finally dawned on me that each time root had failed, I hadnt rebooted my device after running superoneclick. I just ran superoneclick, it did its thing, I disconnected and rebooted, and voila, I have root. I verified root by going to superuser and updating the su binary. thats how i knew it failed before. each time i would try to update su, it would say obtaining root access and it would fail. this time when it said obtaining root access, superuser asked for permission and i knew I had root. I am so ticked at myself for spending so much time doing it wrong, but so happy that I finally did it right lol. the whole time I thought odin was causing the problem, but im glad to know it wasnt. now i know if i brick my phone again, i can just odin and root and the phone will be back to running and rooted in like 10 minutes.
Lmao
