It is actually possible to root without a computer. Apps like z4root work, but I can't remember for which devices

It works only on devices vulnerable to the exploit it uses. This is not one of those devices, hence the answer of no.

This phone no. But z4root app uaed to work for some phones. And gingerbreak
The title says it all, I will not have access to a computer for a few days and im wondering if there is a method to get root without using a PC.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure there isn't. Every method(I think there's three different ones) requires either a Windows PC, Linux or Mac.
There is no way to root without a Pc but once you get root you can unlock the bootloader wuth Ez-Unlock from play store. Just get a friends computer and use it to root. I would recommend Linux or Mac and use Adam Outlers Casual tool. Its really easy and simple.
As i figured well guess no root for me for a bit. Hope a PC less root method comes out eventualy.

I doubt it will happen since pretty much everyone has a pc.

I doubt a PC-less root will come within a few days. But like you said in your op, in a few days you'll have access to a PC again.

ok but still havent found way to root without comp
ok but i still dont know how to root without a computer. I wont be near a computer for a long long time man and if i do i wont have admin privs.
so i still need to know if there is an app or apps that will root the samsung infuse 2.2.1 froyo. Or at least someone compile one or modify one to allow for rooting. Or at least another way to change boot image or boot animation without rooting it.
No, you can not root an infuse without a computer..
Don't make me get the hose!
There's no known way of rooting without a pc.
You are asking for something that no one has been able to accomplish in almost 2 years the infuse has been out to the public.

On froyo its been possible to use gingerbreak, z4root, or univsalandroot

ok now another question
can i change the boot animation or boot logo without rooting.
What really allows changing your bootanimation is the kernel. you need root or a pc to flash a custom kernel..

Yep. It says it all. I cannot use any apk root tool unless I use the PC especially odin. And honestly, I am not allowed to use any computer and if I get odin there, someone will get mad! Is there any good solution. I am using this situation attached as an example. Thanks!
