I finally got sick of the bloat and rooted it. I used The tutorial from here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/
In the tutorial download file I substituted with the new version of the superuser.apk and su from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
All you need to do is substitute the superuser.apk(system/app) and su(system/bin) the rest of the folders/files are not needed. This method worked 1st try, you just have to be very cautious and type everything exact.
Thought I would share for those that like to do things manually Now on to de-bloating, anyone know of a good list of apps that are safe to remove? So far i just got rid of cityid and infoalarm.apk(daily briefing).
Or you could install z4Root from the Market...
This is true but I like to know whats going on under the hood.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I don't know why. That's one reason that I like SOC better. That and I can see what's going on.
Question. If/when I Jack up my phone, and it needs to go in, is there a way to restore the Mez to it's original bloated glory? Thanks in advance

You can tether without rooting with the stock wireless modem app unless you just don't want to use that one. Saving apps to the sdcard won't come until Q1 2011 with the 2.2 update.

Since you are in the Rooting the Mesmerize thread, have you gotten the phone rooted? Next, if so have you gotten Clockworkmod installed correctly? That is in a different thread?
Just trying to get background info to know where to start the help. I definitely don't mind helping.

You're supposed to, however. I have talked to several us cellular employees and they cannot tell if you use it or not. If you go over your 5 gigs, they'll assume and charge you. I've been using it and have not had anything said to me.
Can my phone get bricked from using z4root?
These phones are hard to brick permanently, i have not used z4root but it seems there has been lots of testing with it and I havnt read of anyone bricking from it.
Just wondering because it's a pain for me to get to a computer and download the stuff I need. My computer caught fire and I have to get another and I don't like asking people to use their laptops so I can download things.

You need a pc to run the fastboot commands...don't see if ever happening.
Sent From My Evo
What do you mean? There is a one-click method for the Evo. I understand I'd need a pc but if I can download one file and do a one click unlock and root it would be awesome. One file to complete the whole process. It wouldn't be a pain to borrow a laptop from someone to download one thing.
If I root now I have to download SDK, this & that. I moved so I don't live that close to my friends. I only have an iPad and Xoom as my source of internet.
I think for a one click we would need the source code to honeycomb
sent from my Motorola XOOM
Personally I wouldn't want to one click the xoom, I learned a lot about the xoom while trying to root it and I now feel comfortable tinkering with it as a result. I wanted one click with my cell but at 600 bucks I want to know what makes the xoom tick and be knowledgeable enough to restore it if I need to. The root methods available now aren't difficult at all.

I must have read it wrong then, i thought you were having problems getting a computer. The way i read it, you were looking for a one-click method to run from your xoom. Sorry, if i would have read it right, i would have answer correctly. There is currently no way to one click root 3.1. In all honesty i hope one never comes. I understand your problem, but people need to learn to do things. One clicks are the reason we have 762 threads that start with "bricked".

Hello everyone this is my first time starting a thread on this forum so hello, anyways I just switched form iPhone to the Skyrocket, and am enjoying it, I switched because I wanted something to make my own and android seemed the route to go. Anyways, I just wanted some input on rooting and what the best ways to do so on a Mac. A couple months ago I rooted a EVO for a friend so I have some knowledge, but would still like some input and any tips that I could get.
-Thanks

Welcome to ROcket world man. I switched from iPhone too but i had i777 for like 2 weeks and than i727. You must read this once so you know what we are talking about. Its all in one noob guide. And make sure to flash t989 cwm through rom manager. Don't flash anything else unless it says it will work with i727. T-mobile SGS2 aka t989 is very similar to our phone so mostly everything there you can flash except kernel. Because with t989 kernel you will get rotation issue. Let us know if you got any question.

Can you link to the driver that you used? My PC is Win7 x64. Rooting is impossible unless Windows is using a device driver for the tablet right? (I'm 100% new to Android stuff. )
Tried that script but, nothing but "error finding device" or some such message. Yes, usb debugging is enabled and so is unknown sources (same thing as "allow unsigned apps" ? ?). :C :C :C
Searched around a bit and really haven't found the solution yet.
here other program should unlock the dopo 1010. i read and it say it work you can try to see if it works. but it Chinese. im guess there made chinese company lol
google How to Root Teclast A10 Dual-core it be the first link
@jazneo Tried that, nothing. That program won't detect my device and I'm assuming it's because there is no driver and I don't know where to find it.

I've compiled information on this tablet over here, has everything you'd need.

Try google, or my signature, or glevitans sig., perhaps if banagranola shows up, you could try hers. To add some spice we could just hope guyinthecorner comes over, but he rarely comes to this side of the force. There, now that yoi have read some nonsense, once you try any of the above suggestions, you can use an ubuntu live cd to root your ohone with ace advance h.k. I wonder who else has the thread in their sig? Sashank? Muikkuman? I don't know, I rarely log on from my pc. Now I wonder if that fella found the answer among all this nonsense

HA...we are all here. Yeah use a liveCD (UBUNTU) 32bits version. That works great, much better than windows...and there is no need to install anything. Just boot from the CD and you are done.
