Wondering if its possible for someone to take this and root it?
http://pcdphones.com/downloads/935-adr6250_2-1_mr_cellcom-zip
Cellcom 2.1 update for the Hero...
Thanks
Here are a bunch of other small carrier updates for the hero as well
http://pcdphones.com/our-devices/support/adr6250update
Are you asking if someone can take the update, add root and upload it or root it as it is running on the phone? Either way it's super easy.
If you already have root on your phone and you want a flashable version with root built in, go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
and follow the instructions to install the kitchen, extract the rom, root, and anything else you wanna add and build and flash it.
If you are looking at rooting it on the phone, go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869
and follow the instructions.
Either way you should have used that handy "Search This Forum" button in the main threads page.

OK thanks for that.. I'm pretty savvy to the search feature. Been around the block a few times brotha.
I'm pretty sure since you have the answers you would know that I've tried that rooting method with won't work with the Cellcom Hero, the rooting method there you get the wrong bootloader error, the BL on the 1.6 hero is newer than the one you use in that rooting guide... I was unsuccessful in doing it.
And no, this phone/rom/carrier doesn't have root yet.
If it was something sooo easy I certainly would just do it.
What version of hboot does this phone ship with?
Have you tried that guide they linked to lately? That guide has been updated with a new method that should work on phones that shipped with 2.1
oh.. my bad dude. Didn't mean to be so hasty on my comments. We have had a few people posting pointless threads lately here.. This is rather odd though. Give us all the info on what's running on the phone and we can check out what we can do to resolve it.

UPDATE:
The SuperOneClick rooting method outlined in this thread currently only works for Android 2.2. It does not work with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
To root 2.3.3 -
1) Install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2) Flash rooted ROM of your choice. Here is a stock rooted 2.3.3 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
Here's a brief guide on how to root the T-Mobile G2x. This assumes that you already have adb installed. If you do not, a quick search will point you in the right direction
Note: I take no credit for rooting the G2x. I am not the developer of SuperOneClick, and this is a simplified version of a guide already posted by domi007 in the O2x forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182). I am just posting a guide in the G2x forum because no one else has yet.
1) Install ADB driver: http://www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe
2) Enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development), and connect your phone to your computer via USB.
3) Run SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4) Choose the option "Root"
It's really that simple...enjoy
update:
jnichols959 has provided a simple solution to rooting the G2x for Mac and Linux users. We hope that keeping two separate threads will not add to forum clutter. On the contrary we think each thread will be less cluttered and therefore be more helpful to the end user.

I apologize for the Windows only solution I've posted. Since I moved in with my girlfriend, Windows has weaseled it's way back into my household. However, there was a time when I wouldn't let a Windows box come within 100 yards of my place of residence.
Thank you very much!

Ha no problem. I can just install Parallels or Fusion today. I did manage to get SuperOneClick running on my mac using Mono. However, I don't see any way to install the LG drivers executable file on the Mac, so I doubt SOC will work in this manner without those drivers... not sure if I want to risk trying it.
GOOD! i wanted to know if it really worked with our phones! (without test myself)
thanks alot
NOW all i gotta do is hurry up and wait for m phone to get here (some time today.......GRRR)
Hey thanks for posting this! I currently own a G2, rooted with cm7. I'm planning on picking this beast up in-store on Wednesday and I'm already itching to root it and get a custom ROM on there.
One question though, does this method achieve a permanent root? My only experience with android thus far is the G2, which required an involved process to root. Is this phone just a lot easier to root for some reason??
And then as far as recoveries and ROM's I'm assuming those haven't been released for this phone yet, right??

Yes permanent root. This G2x is not as locked down as the G2, making the process a whole lot easier. And no, no recovery yet, just stay tuned to these forums.
Oh god yes
I already have ADB driver and SOC ready and I rooted few phones through this way.
It's good to know G2x can be rooted easily.
Rooted=no more junk!
Quick question for yall...this won't simunlock the phone will it?
Thanks a bunch.

Nope. It will not.
Received the phone today, rooted it within 5 minutes within hooking up to the computer using the superoneclick tool.
I think it took longer to install the drivers, and SuperOneClick than it did to root the phone.
Alright good to know. Just wondering than if yall have a general idea how long it usually takes a device to get an unlock with root, I am not sure because this would be the first phone for me that I am getting close to the release date.

SIM unlocking and rooting the phone are two totally different things.

If you want to SIM unlock this phone, you can call t-mobile after you have purchased the phone, give them the IMEI number, and in about 2 weeks they will email you the unlock code for the phone.
Mine will be here today sometime.
How do I get the SuperOneClick download, the site shortfuse.org page will not load Help, I really want to get this rooted. Thanks
Is z4root the same as Visionary?
I tried to use it to get a temporary root on my Inspire. I installed z4root and installed SuperUser. Then I ran z4root and it needed SU permission but didn't get it. So I opened SU and it presented me with an upgrade pop-up where it loaded a file on the card and I was suppose to boot into hBoot and do something...I don't remember. Needless to say, backed out that and deleted that file from the SD so it didn't do anything upon a reboot. It was over my head.
You cant use visionary or z4 root on this phone. They dont work

So the guidance in this thread, including the link to Visionary, is in error?

You mean the thread from which you copied your post there and pasted to create the op of this here new thread?
It's simple... If you want to permanently root this phone, which by association means gaining s-Off, then the thread you reference is not the way to achieve it. It ain't that easy for this phone. It's not a Captivate one-click rootable phone.
If you don't want to permanently root this phone, but want to do "just a little bit of root stuff," the answer is... You want to permanently root this phone, or at least gain s-Off, in which case you might as well flash a rooted rom.
All of which points to...
Using one of two methods available, both linked in the stickied guide in the general section.

If you mean did I read this post in the general section and decided to do the right thing, then yes. Enough with condescension.
I could have sworn I posted about a temporary root...hmmm...let read my words again...

No. This one. As I said, the one that's *stickied*.
What was so condescending about me pointing out that you started a new thread by pasting the same post you made in an already existing thread because you didn't get a reply quick enough?
Next time, can you at least have referenced the correct thread prior to accusing me of being patronizing?
Edit....
Unless of course you're trying to point at the link in mud's Sig, which *IS* what I referenced, in which case, what "right" thing did you do? Root? If so, then I'm not understanding what your asking.
Ok, so not to long ago I recieved a notification saying that my Droid 2 Global ws due for an update. My thoughts were "YAY!! NEW STUFF!!!". After I updated it I found out about phone rooting and I did some research on it. I came to the conclusion that I was going to root my phone no matter what. But I have tryed everything I came across. Which was only Gingerbreak, z4root, Petesoneclickroot, and I think thats about it.... Anyways none of those work.
When I tryed the Gingerbreak it would say its rooting but I left it there for like 3 hours while I watched a movie and it still wasnt done... I knew it wasnt going to work because it said it would take "2-3 minutes, 10 minutes at the max".
With the z4root I would install it and click on it and click Pearmanet Root. It would load for a little then it would just stop and go to the home screen of my phone. When I clicked the app again it would say it force clossed and after that it just would not open when I clicked it.
With the Petes one click root it would be going all well until it came to the rebooting stage. Once my phone shut off and started back up it would go into bootloader. And it would stay like that...
Just so you know what my phone is running and stuff its:
Model Number: DROID2 GLOBAL
Android Version: 2.3.3
If theres anything else you need to know just ask and please someone tell me and option to root my phone.
z4root and Gingerbreak won't work.
As it was described multiple times, DROID3 ADB exploit works. Pete's one-click motorola root tools should work; although it might fail if you had z4root.
i was
success to root using superoneclick 2.2(zergrush)
I used Pete's Root Tools for my D2G several times with no problems. It's pretty straight forward. You might need to SBF, because those other apps probably narsed up your ROM.
Also make sure you have the most recent drivers from Motorola. I have heard of problems being because of old drivers. Rootzwiki has some great user/dev threads on installing cm7gb. I would go there and follow the directions you find. Like the others said you may need to sbf to get a factory/known good state.
Remember: double & triple check everything before getting stuck up a creek. And make sure you have a way back before you start down that road...
D2G CM7GB
just used peters root tool.
worked excellent for me
If i had been rooted and then the update unrooted my phone. how can i gain root access. furthermore is their an app and lastly can i do it on a mac?
Look for DROID3 one-click root scripts. There's a version for Mac. This has been discussed many times, and can be found with a quick Google search, too.

So i've searched this entire forum for topics dealing with the samsung appeal. Not only does this site have not much if anything no other sites have much either. I've got an appeal and im looking to root it as well as other tips and tricks. It's similar to the captivate with the qwerty key board but i've yet to find anything on how to root this phone. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem. I bought the appeal when switching to AT&T, but did not want a contract.
It does not seem to be a popular phone for developers. I am hoping there is a older root guide that will work with the Appeal (I827). If not I am willing to try and root the phone manually. I have not worked with Android coding much and could use a guide.
Thanks for any help!

I have the same phone. Samsung Galaxy Appeal SGH-i827
Android 2.3.6
AT&T
It would be a much more decent phone if it was rooted.
Samsung Galaxy Appeal Root
First off, I take NO credit for this guide. I do not know much about rooting phones or exploits.
However, I have spent a considerable amount of time searching for a way to root this phone.
I have not tried this yet, but a few friends who have rooted various phones say it should work. It was last updated early September, 2012.
The only download (aside from drivers) is hboot.
I registered specifically to include this, so I cannot link it yet (just remove the newlines).
redigua.
com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-
appeal.html
So I just tried this, and it turns out the z4root exploit doesn't work.
I'm using Android 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.38.6 on a Samsung model SGH-I827, if it makes a difference.
Further attempts show anything using the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work. This rules out most of the One Click-based applications.
I'm trying GingerBreak 1.2 when I can get a microSD card.
Sorry if this is bringing up an old thread, but I just got this phone... is there any chance of ever seeing root for this phone?
Have you tried Gingerbreak? Its worked on 4/5 Android devices I've owned.

The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6. From what I have researched, Gingerbreak only works only up to 2.3.3. I have read that some other people have tried it, but no success. There is also something called SuperOneClick (I believe), which, apparently does not work on this phone as well...?

Extremely frustrating. been trying alot my self but nothing works yet and no one outside the usual copy paste linkers will help. i fear the devs of the rooting community just don't want to help on this one as i hav'nt recieved a single response on the many forums i've asked about this, even under thier official rooting pages etc. quite frankly i'm getting fed up.
In all honesty I fixed my infuse a while ago and it started acting upagain so I dreaded it but used the appeal. The appeal is basically the cheapest most standard type of smartphone there is. Yes it would be better with root (and better ram) but I don't believe it has the capabilities to be rooted without making it unresponsive over worked and generally being hated by all. So I'd hate to say it but no one wants to root this phone bc of all the complaints it would cause like bricking ect. But do not get discouraged. If you want to root talk more about it and I'm sure someone will write a root code for this phone. On another not it still has quite a bit of functions and customizable aspects like go launcher ik works to fully theme ur phone and speed it up.

Yo Appeal guys. I come from another low activity device board so I feel your pain. I do operate primarily from another forum entirely but hang here as well.
Anyways, more to the point: I may have a method that should work for you guys. It's been up for a couple weeks with no "yay" or "nay" to it's functionality though. Anyone familiar with the "update.zip" root method?...
Root update.zip
The results of this, like I said, have yet to be seen, but common results are as follows:
1. Full root and userdata wipe (something weird in the recovery framework]
2. Signature verification failure and no root acheived.
XDA tends to be more daring than the general public, so this is a good place for such a package.
Enjoy!

Well crap... Gotta find another signer...
Anyone ready for a round 2?
Appeal CWM 5.0.2.8
This recovery should work with that zip, no problem. Installs with odin3 v1.8 somethin, whatever works on the Ace+
(original thread: http://androidarea51.com/***-all-things-root-***-197/(recoveryroot)-clockworkmod-5-0-2-8-appeal/)
if you follow the link Motorhead posted, we have gotten CWM working and Root on Galaxy Appeal, info is in the thread... and you need odin3 v1.85 to install cwm and the you flash the root update.zip from cwm, so wait no more Appeal users have at it lol...
i have been lead tester on the appeal, i have tested these things myself and we also had another user jump on as i was testing CWM and then Root, i walked him through it and everything went well for him, i am going to be working on a basic deodexed debloated rom build for the Appeal as well in the next couple days, my first shot at android development, so check out http ://android area51. com/ to keep up on our latest developments... we specialize in prepaid android devices, mostly straight talk, but if you troll around the forums long enough you might just get somebody to take your phone on as a project like i did lol, big thanks to Motorhead, DroidHost and everyone over at AA51 for cracking the blind open allowing me to slide down into the rabbit hole lol, and a big thanks to XDA for being such a wealth of information and source of research for me to go deeper and deeper, i'll be sure to credit individual users on my ROM release.
That didn't work for me either.
