Hi,
Im trying to root my G2X using superoneclick but everytime it reaches step#6 the program says not responding and it just locks up. Has anyone had this issue and knows how to resolve it? Im running the G2X with the gingerbread update and the latest superoneclick which I beleive is 2.1. I unmounted the SD card and I have the USB debugging checked.
Anyone?
Thanks
Superoneclick does not work on gb update, nvflash custom recovery, then just flash any rom you want.
Look in dev section on how to nvflash custom recovery.

Dude u people need to do a little research wtf man u probably been at this for days all u have to do is flash recovery with nvflash use tga gunman's guide its a one click tool like the tool we use for root its one button done, then u just flash xboarders rom or cm or even restore a backup if u have one anything with root will give u root privileges, I myself updated with LG updater tool (I just wanted baseband) I then flashed recovery, then restored my cm nightly backup, still had new baseband and was rooted again

Thanks, it worked perfectly
As ancient as this thread may be, I thought I would comment in case it comes up in a Google search (as it did for me).
As it was going through step #6, the common freeze point, I simply disconnected and toggled USB debugging to work it through each phase. It went to step #7, repeated, then left it to install busybox, superuser, and so forth.

As far as I know the exploits are blocked for security reasons so they never get root access. Without temporary root super one click cannot install the programs needed to make root permanent. If this is a work around that would be a new development.
still don't get it

doesnt matter what device people use. ultimately, stock GB freezes at step 6. can anyone can validate the steps above, "to unplug the cable and toggle usb debugging" works or not?
if the only way is to flash the device, then there is no Rooting tool available yet for GB stock devices.

If the device has an alternate recovery (doesn't matter which one) you can use by G2X root zip to root it. It will work on any GB device that has an alternate recovery.

You can't superoneclick root 2.3.3 only 2.2. You have to flash CWM recovery then install a root zip or pre rooted ROM. All can be found in the Dev forum.

Hi,
I tried doing the Oneclick root with my Epic that is running 2.1 Eclair. When I installed Titanium and busybox it said phone is rooted. BUT when I start the phone in Manual mode to install update it only has 4 options:
Reboot
Install update
Wipe data
Wipe Cache
When I scroll down and select Install update it starts the process and then says e.signature verification failed update aborted. Is there something I am not doing right? I tried to unroot and reroot the phone but still get the same thing.
When I try the Root process with Oneclick Software for Samsung Galaxy One Click root it says the phone will restart and to select reinstall packages but I do not have that option. It still has the options shown above.
I know when I did my Hero and Evo I could get root and install Roms with no problems.
Can someone help please.
From reading you just need to install clockwork and then install roms and stuff. The kernels include a root, so install clockwork and install the rom I have in my signature. It already includes a kernel so that helps by one less thing you have to do. The one in my signature I have had no issues at all.
I installed rom manager (which is clockwork, right?) and tried to install a rom that way but when it reboots it goes to the same screen and gives the same message.

How are you rebooting into recovery? It sounds like you're hitting the stock recovery. Shut the phone down entirely and hold Vol -, Camera, and power. Keep holding until after the Samsung logo goes away.
Does this bring you more options?
If you still get nothing, try this instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103
Nope.... Same options. I will read the link you provided.
Also, Busybox says that my phone is rooted then I click install and it says I do not have nand unlocked. Maybe this is the problem?

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure getting nand-unlocked is a part of the rooting process. Perhaps the root didn't work entirely for you, I had a lot of problems using the 1 click root with my first epic because of timing, I had to open the batch file and replace the ping 127etc (the delays) with a pause command because the phone took too long to respond and the second half of the rooting process would fail. Try the link I posted, it worked out well on my first phone.
Thanks....So far I have removed the Oneclick root from it and now it says the phone is not rooted. My next step is to root again... Hope it works.
Worked great! Thank you!!!

I have been trying to root the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from Canada's Wind Mobile. I wonder if anyone out there with Wind and this phone has any success. This phone is model SGH-T959W, which is different from the T-mobile SGH-T959V. I thought they were similar, but not really. This phone was just released in March 2012, and has the latest firmware.
Details:
Model no.: SGH-T959W
Firmwware ver.: 2.3.6
Baseband ver.: T959WUQLB6
Kernel ver.: 2.6.35.7-T959WUQLB6-CL965783
Build no.: GINGERBREAD.WUQLB6
I have successfully rooted several phones before and am good at following instructions. However, I have pretty much tried every method suggested on this Galaxy S forum with no success, including SuperOneClick, manually using ADB, Fastroot, Z4root, Samsung Kies Mini, Heimdall One-Click, etc. Some of them simply said "Failed", ADB and SuperOneClick seemed promising with progress messages for a couple minutes and then just hung forever. Kies Mini won't even recognize the phone even though it's a Samsung and I have updated all drivers.
My main goals of rooting the phone are to try to resolve the random shut-down issues that's been plaguing the Galaxy line of phones, and to run Titanium Backup. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to ICS. I'd welcome any help.
thanks,
Billy
Unfortunately your phone is not supported on XDA. Do not use any flashing tools from this forum. You have a high risk chance of messing up your phone. Good luck.
I have the same problem, can not find the root solution
Has lumin mentioned last post your phone is not supported on XDA ....sorry dude

Can someone push the kies gingerbread tarball to mediafire or bittorrent or something.
I'd like to collect a little more info.
I will also need someone with the phone to test for me. You need to be familiar with and running linux.
I don't play well with windows and may need to remote to your linux box and get on the phone.
Hi bhundven,
Thanks for offering to help. I'm the OP of this thread. I'd like to help you help me, but I don't have a linux box nor familiar with linux. Also, what is "kies gingerbread tarball"?
I do have the phone that I can do the test for you, if you can show me what I have to do.
thanks,

1, is the USB JIG a must? What does it do exactly?
2, I was not able to root the phone at all, by any of the methods found for the 959V on this forum. So, how do I upgrade to any other ROM's without rooting? Will the use of this JIG solve this issue?

The jig will force your phone into download mode no matter what, unless you are hard bricked. Its not necessarily a must but highly recommended.
I was in irc with bhundven and the other user and as long as you do not flash bootloaders using heimdall to flash something like the antonx one click kernel will get you root. Then you can flash any of the roms. Just remember dont EVER flash bootloaders until he can get a tarball and make a Heimdall one click for the 959W.
A good way to get root using heimdall is follow this post.

Werd. The only way the JIG will not work, is if you have hosed your bootloaders (specifically the SBL).
It would be awesome if someone got their T959W unbrickable modded, so we could play with bootloaders.
More so, it would be awesome if someone could get me a kies or leak tarball for me to mess with.

Some of the kernels do not install root to the rom. So you will also need to install a rom that comes with su (root).
Most of our current roms do, including cm7 and cm9.
Installing cm7 or cm9 should be the same as the instructions in the thread, but I'll reiterate this once.
Get the boot.img (see the cm7 or cm9 threads)
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
Let the phone reboot. When you see the "Galaxy S" screen, pull the usb cable and pull the battery out of the phone.
Put the battery back in the phone. Put the backdoor back on the phone (so the battery doesn't fall out).
Hold the vol+ and the vol-, then hold the power button until you see the "Team Acid" screen. Then let go of only the power button.
When you see the clockwork mod recovery, let go of the volume buttons.
Plugin the usb cable and go to "Mounts & Storage" and enable usb storage. Copy the cm7 or cm9 zip file to your sdcard.
Don't forget to safely unmount the storage on your windows, mac, linux box before disconnecting the cable or unmounting usb storage on the phone.
Unmount usb storage on the phone.
Go back to the main menu.
Factory Reset & Wipe data
Install the cm7 or cm9 zip from the sdcard.
Report any issues on the cm7 or cm9 thread, ask any questions on the respective Q&A thread here in the Q&A forum.

Hi there, I have been looking for a way tu root my cellphone. I'm from Mexico but I lived in canada for a while.
so i bring my cellphone samsung T959W from canada!.
So I have been reading your posts from july when you said that you was comparing the differences between v and w version and i arrived to this post!
so I did this!:
1.- I download the sdk of android to put my cellphone in download mode
2.- I used heimdall press flash and wait until the samsung screen pull the cable and battery.
3.- press volume buttons and power button then I realize that now my cellphone when i turn on it says exclusive for t movile
and after i pressed volume buttons and power the acid screen didn't appear to me also when I'm in recovery mode there is no such option as install just the update option and when i try to put the cm9 it says that it couldn't confirm the signature
also if you need the tallbar or the thing you said... just let me know what to do! I'm noob in this kind of things!

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

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.

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)

I also had this problem but after about 2 hours i managed to update my phone: here how i did the update:
Just connect to internet then immediately disconnect from internet within 1 or 1.5 seconds the program just needs to confirm that there is an established connection, i used this (my own) trick and I successfully updated my LO3D froyo to GB using kdz
Keep in mind that you need to connect to internet only for 1 second then DISCONNECT internet
Good luck

Power off the phone and press Power + VOL Down + 3D as you usually would to get into recovery. From there you follow the steps to factory reset your device.

I was running GB rooted. No custom ROM just rooted.
I saw the update, so I wanted to start fresh. I reset the phone, installed the update (lost root, as expected), went to apply root with Megatron Root Exploit, and it would not allow me to obtain root. Kept getting an error about directory not found. Don't recall the exact error.
I am currently running the ICS update with no issues, but would like to be rooted as I am missing a few apps that require root.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am still a bit of a noob. I have only rooted once.
It appears form the link you posted that this is installing a custom rom. That is not what I am looking to do. Previously I was running GB, stock, just rooted to be able to freeze some apps and use a few apps that required root. That is all that I am looking to do at this point too.
ICS is loaded and running fine. Is there a way to get root back with out flashing and installing custom roms? or is this something that the hasn't been figured out yet?
Thanks again for your time and patience with me

so what rom you are on? ICS or GB?
if you are on ICS
than only follow the Root steps there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698&highlight=baseband
How to root:
1. Download Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip and save it somewhere in your SD card
2. Use OS_Hacking's tool to install Wkpark's v1.25a bootloader (read his instructions and install OMAP driver first). After this step, your boot-up LG logo will be silver!
3. With the same tool install a GB recovery. (ICS recoveries are only for xbsall's ported SU760 ROM, they can't read your internal SD)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash the zip from step (1) and reboot
Root?

This looks like I have to bootload a custom rom and go back to gingerbread? Excuse my noobness you can see I just registered to ask this question. Also load a different baseband from the V30 I am on now?
I finally got ICS and dont want a custom ROM like tmoca asked.
Hi guys since today im a proud owner of a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 stock 4.1.2, but now comes the question, is it possible to Root it without flashing anything?
I only need root access to install a few apps, FolderMount, Titanium, Root explorer, etc.
I own too a Galaxy S2 that I rooted by the method of "rooting without flashing unsecure kernel" is it possible to apply the same method to the Note 10.1?
THANKS for any help given.

Welcome to the club. Take a look at all the sections for the tablet and make sure you read the stickies too.
Method #2 and youl be good to go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
I had already read that stickie and if I have correctly read, Method 2 (and the others) involves Odin and flashing something and that is what I dont want.
Isnt there a way to root without flashing?

Let me ask you this, why no flashing? As far as I know it's either Odin or flash. You need to get a custom recovery on it in order to root.
---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Also with the s2 the recovery and kernel are in one. This is not.
Thanks for your help and time spent helping me, but I think I will pass the root on the Note, I thought there was a more easier/safe method like that on the S2.
Thanks

There was an Exynos exploit method but Samsung patched the security hole a few updates ago.
The method in the link that was posted does alter your flash count and that can be correct but you are the owner of the device and if you are not comfortable flashing you tablet I wouldn't.
I have flashed mine and tried a few rom's but I always ended up resetting my flash counter and going back to stock.
Folder mount works great and that was the reason I rooted in the first place but you can store your files on the ext drive and transfer them back and forth manually but I found with my fast wifi I'm better off re-downloading the data along with "Helium - App Sync and Backup" to backup and restore my data and you do not need root, only draw back is that you have to have a computer connection for backup and restore to work.
.
Yes, its just a matter of not feeling confortable, and there is also the risk of blocking the camera. (had a similar issue with 4.1.2 on S2 needed to downgrade to 4.0.4).
But it seeems to me a bit odd that to grant root access we need to flash the rom.
I don't think you read that right. You're not flashing a ROM, just a custom recovery through ODIN, then a root app. It's actually very simple. (Any simpler and I would be concerned about rogue app exploits)
Fyi: I'm also new to Samsung devices and bought my tablet this week. Rooted it this morning by following the stickies, but sticking with the stock ROM for now. I'm more than happy with the tablet so far.

There is no flashing a rom with method 2. You Odin the custom recovery then you have to flash the superuser into the system. You need superuser to get root and Odin is the easiest way.
Trust me we have all been in your shoes about being nervous, I've been doing this a long time and this method is really easy.
You can also use this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957002
It does require ODIN but as has been stated this is the norm. You are not replacing any kernels or flashing another rom, you are just adding the root components. Using this method also leaves stock recovery intact...
If you woory about flash counter then run triangleaway after to reset the flash counter and recoveries....
I found doing this, doing a factory reset from settings then reflashing the Stock rom using Mobile ODIN pro gave me a stock standard, but rooted, rom with all statuses "Official" and 0 flash count....
A lot of work I know but then worthwhile things generally require it...
Ok, I followed the Method 2 made everything like on video, after pressing Power+Volume Up, I entered on STOCK Recovery, not the CWM,even so, I apply the .zip and I get:
MANUAL MODE
--Appling Multi-CSC....
Applied the CSC-code:LUX
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
--Install /sdcard....
Finding update package....
Opening update package....
Verifying update package.....
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-FILE SIGNATURE
E:signature verification failed
I also retryed and turned off auto-reboot in Odin before starting the process but I get the same thing, now what should I do?
Its not rootable?
Ok, Its finally rooted, What I had to do,
On Odin unthick auto-reboot, When Odin finished doing its thing, dont shutdown the Tablet but press Power+Volume Up and go directly to CWM recovery and there follow the rest of instructions.
Thanks to everybody that took time to help me, thats why I love this forum.
A BIG THANK YOU.

I see that I'm probably too late now to answer the OP.
But maybe others can be interested.
I find that the easiest way to root (without odin and without installing a custom recovery) is Framaroot.
It uses some Exynos exploits, and has been also recently updated by the developer to counteract Samsung's patches.
It may work or it may not work on some devices and with some of the more recent firmware.
In any case giving it a try doesn't cost anything. It's just an app.
If it works the app can also be used to temporarily remove the root.
For me it worked with Firmware N8000XXCLL3 and I know that it works with some more recent fw too.
Furthermore it doesn't change the counter and even the Devices Status remains "Official". Well, actually the devices status may change to "Custom" after few days with the tablet on, but it returns Official after a simple reboot.
