What happened to the one click root file that was one here just after the SNS 4G came out? If It still is out there can someone link it. Also, can I use that file with 2.3.5?
Thanks,
Cloo

It does work on 2.3.5 but it wiped everything including the sdcard so be warned.
Also read the instructions carefully. It is a bit more convoluted than I'm used to. Not exactly "one click", imo.
thats because a true one click is not possible with the way the bootloader is set up

Tried SEARCH but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be working...
I could have sworn I saw a thread on "unrooting" after installing the One Click Root but I don't seem to be able to find it. Am I just missing it?
Also, when "unrooting" are things such as your email setup deleted or do things such as that stay intact?
I haven't actually changed anything on my phone since I did the One Click Root.
Thanks in advance....

Sorry for the novice question. About to get a 4th replacement G2X. Last weekend I spent a huge amount of time reconfiguring number 3. I have Launcherpro and backed it up to the SD card but the new phone would not restore.
Is there an easy way to backup all the apps and settings?

That requires a root, right?
Yes it does.
Yup. If you need to know how to root, check out my signature. Click the link that says "Rooted" and it'll take you to where you can root. The Superoneclick method mentioned elsewhere on the site won't work for G2x above 2.2. So just follow my link and you'll be good to go. And be sure to thank the OP that made the thread.
Thanks.
New (4th replacement) arrived and it won't read the SIM card.
If you have to flash a rooted rom to root, you loose your configuration. So, going from stock to rooted rom you are going to have to reconfigure. Right?

You don't have to flash a rooted rom to get root anymore. There is a root zip available.

Where? On XDA? A single Zip that roots the phone? Must have missed that or I am misunderstanding something.

It's been a while since I looked at that thread. Not sure I will ever need it, but is nice to know it's there. I hit up phburks with a thanks. I gave jboxer an accidental thanks when tried to hit quote yesterday, so I am good there. They need to separate those buttons. I am sure that's how I received a few of my thanks. : )

I love the concept and the fact that the OP of that thread is making a contribution, but there are some small but essential steps left out that noobs wouldn't even know about. I think he is working on a more complete implementation. Until then, or at least to get a sense of what steps are involved, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

I have read and tried this method but I have yet to have success. I have uninstalled and installed Android sdk and drivers, but nothing. The last thing is to wipe my computer.
i want to root my phone but Sprint seems to have patch the root exploit, so i am thinking of doing a factory restore.
does anyone know what software version it will resort back to, currently i am on 2.3.4.
You will still be on 2.3.4 you need to search for the method then reds until your head hurts

This root method works wonders nothing is more better then to learn to manually root your device. Of course you can use the tool provided in the, the development forums, but I personally enjoy learning to do things without the use of developed tools.
If you need help feel free to ask we are here to help ^_^
Good luck don't turn your device into a brick READ READ AND READ FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE YOU WILL BE A OK.

Use the manual method by Indirect if you want to have more control over what you're doing (also does not void your warranty) and definitely read read read
I would recommend at least going through the whole "user" section of xda-university before even touching your phone, it has tons of useful information

Definitely, also just FYI but when you do a factory restore that simply wipes all app data (both user and system apps)

Best advice I can give you is to Read, Read, Read, and Read some more. Use the search function a ton, as it will help you to get used to resolving issues in the future. Because sometimes even when people are willing to help, answers are hard to come by. Also there are a few links you can check out in my Signature. The Shift community is one of the Best anywhere, so you picked the right device to learn Android with . Welcome to a great forum.
yes yes, i have rooted like 5 phones, but this one is stuck in a boot loop and trying to fix that

Were you rooting with Indirects method and it got stuck in a bootloop on the 4G screen? If so, thats supposed to happen, its not a bug

Na i was using you shift rootility tutorial, but i screwed up and put the wrong PG06IMG.zip in the $path. there was 2 versions a 12.7MB and a 227MB one. i didn't realize that i needed to do the 227MB to downgrade first then after it's downgraded then use the 12.7MB one.
so i stopped mid way through and tried to boot normally, which sent me into a boot loop. doing a factory restore fixed the boot-loop and now i am starting over again.
BTW CNexus you have some dead links in your Tut.
You will be on older radios after rooting. Download the ZIP with the most recent radios, WiMAX, and touchscreen firmware from HERE or HERE.

It doesn't matter, you can do it anytime after you have rooted (make sure you flash it in bootloader and not through recovery though)

unfortunately no. not rooted phones can't see the root filesystem via app.

If you have a custom recovery, you can via adb

It worked for a while on N5 but no longer I believe. Not the ideal solution for a Nexus. Too easy for noobs to root without bothering to learn stuff

Custom recovery afaik isn't possible without unlocked bootloader no?
I'm unlocked/rooted by manual and right-way method for my nexus 5. But my brother is paranoid as ****. He just get's totally afraid abt hearing the word root/unlock. So I thought of giving towelroot a try for him without telling him and it worked. Phone is rooted and m using supersu aswell. All works well for now. Why would it stop ?
