Hi,
I just installed the new Gingerbread for my D2G
but couldn't get it rooted via z4root
so I tried PetesMotorolaRootTool and it didn't work either.
I finally managed to root my device with Pete's DROID 3 easy root script v7
so I thought I had it all straightened out.
Although Root Explorer seems to work just fine (renaming and all..)
but other apps such as market enabler or the Wireless Tether
seem to be failing to acquire root permission.
It just keep asking me if I have my device rooted (well...yeah..duh...)
What seems to be the problem?
Plz..help...
Thx a million in advance....I'm very desperate...
I seem to be having an issue rooting mine as well. Using super one click root.
u should use d3 one click root
damn, im having the same issue. i use barnacle wifi tether and it gets denied su access. my su binary is up to date but i cant seem to use z4 for temp or permanent root. even thou my phone was rooted when i did the ota update and had no issues.
ok so i just did pete's root tool and it worked but now i cant get barnacle to work. it starts like normal but then spits out some mumbo jumbo about the dhcp port already in use... idk lol

i use pete's motorola root tool
i was having the same issue, it wouldnt root, but i finally got it with pete's motorola root, but now whenever i try to tether, it gains root access but a white icon pops up in my notification bar stating that basically tether was turned on, but its verizons. so then when i try to log onto the internet on my computer, it comes up to the verizon BBAC page trying to make my buy their tethering. if i can get some help please. ive tried wifi tether, wireless tether, open garden, and barnacle and it all does the same thing. thank yo in advance.
Yea I'm having the same tether issue. Does anyone know of a way to quarantine or freeze the stupid gb/verizon tether app? My quarantine thing can't find it since its more of a setting than an app and idk enough about how to tweak the system settings or registry stuff. Can anyone find a way to disable this?

i am trying to root my buddies droid 1 using "Easy Root". i start the app, click root and it says root successful. it then prompts me to reboot my phone. i do so and then open easy root again. instead of being rooted and having superuser permissions, easy root only gives me the option to click "Root" again. i try using wifi tether and it says im not rooted.
anyone else have this problem
he is on stock froyo 2.2
thanks, Adam

try Z4root, the real mans rooting application.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
If z4root doesnt work for you I will stab myself in the heart, promise. Word is bond.
so i recently used superoneclick to root my phone. The program said my phone is rooted yet when my kernels etc are the same as stock. I have superuser on my phone but how do i change the kernels etc so that i can use non market apps like wireless tether?
Kernels can be changed with new ROMS. Rooting means you get superuser permission on the terminals so things can be changed.
i dont understand what you asking about non market apps? But you can use apps that required root.
Hope i helped.

I downloaded wireless tether and titanium backup to remove sprint ID. The issue is when i try to run either, they dont work. Wireless says the kernel is the issue. What else should I do to be able to use these apps?

Try barnacle(it's in the market) for wifi tether and you need to download and install busybox in order to use titanium backup, and be careful what you remove because you could brick your phone...

Thank you for the barnacle thing, i havn't removed anything im having issues using anything that requires root access, just unrooted my phone.
Can anyone give me a step by step to rooting it? I simply want to remove sprint ID and have my phone run faster. Cant think of any apps i would really need.
Download z4root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328 transfer it to your sdcard and use a file manager to open it(if you don't have one download astro) install and run it, choose permanent root, and let it do it's thing...
did that, still isnt working, thank you though.
it appears anytime i try to run an app it says something along the lines of not having root access, even though it is rooted
Weird. Hmmmm. I meant i dont know much about your phone. I know that when my root got effed, i just did a factory reset and re-rooted and it worked.
Sorry couldnt help
have you tried this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shkOp2Q2AM4 ?

going to try this now, just didnt want to since it seems a bit more complicated and im really weak when it comes to linux
You could try installing Rom Manager from the market. If it works you will be able to flash a custom recovery, backup your device and flash a custom ROM.
Give it a go and let us know if it works.
cool so i followed the video, then it wasnt rooted, so i used z4root apparently it took two things to fully root my phone. Not sure why, some sort of sprint failsafe?
Although i forgot to set a backup to sprint features, so im a bit screwed down the road.
You prolly can find a sprint ROM somewhere. Or you could do a factory reset, not sure of that will bring back the sprint apps. Dont they have the sprint apps on the Android market?

That would be my video. AND no, you are NOT rooted if you flashed that tar. All that tar does, is make your phone STOCK with custom recovery, to ensure a nice clean platform to work with. You would hold down volume down, voice button, and power. let go when you see samsung, and then apply an update.zip for the kernel. i do have a video on how to root the Android 2.2.2 and it's a proper root video. Sorry for the confusion.
Solved in post #2 & 3.
My wife has a Charge and I am trying to root it for her just so she can tether her laptop from her phone instead of my ThunderBolt all the time.
I used Odin v1.82 to flash the latest recovery file (0817_charge_recovery.tar).
I flashed PB&JTime Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126136&highlight=latest+kernel.
I rebooted phone to find I had no root using Root Checker from Market.
I manually downloaded SuperUser from Market. Rechecked and had root access, according to Root Checker.
I'm running GummyCube2.0, successfully now.
I downloaded both OpenGarden and Barnacle. Neither tethering app will work. Everytime she tried to connect to my phone, it shows up as a wifi network, but her phone shows up as an Adhoc network, which will not even connect.
Any idea what's going on here? Any more information I can provide to assist in finding a solution? Any help is appreciated... I want MY phone back, damnit!

Edit: That worked great in conjunction with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166497, which I just happened to see while browsing. Nothing even came close in search. Sorry to waste your time guys, but thanks for the help!
I am not sure what caused this. Yesterday during the day, i was using my wireless tether app just fine. Then lastnight I tried to connect to my computer, and my Android wifi network is not listed on my computer as an available network to connect to. I have rebooted the phone and computer about 5 times. I have tried a different computer, and an ipod, nothing is seeing my wireless tether network.
I also tried using the stock wifi hotspot app that came with the phone, and it will not start up or broadcast a signal.
So for whatever reason, my phone stopped broadcasting out a wifi signal. I can still connect to wifi from my phone to another router, I am just not able to use my phone as a hotspot anymore.
Has anyone else had this problem or seen a discussion on this issue anywhere? I have the stock ROM, but I am rooted. I did not change anything from the time that it was working, to the time when it stopped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I know thats not the problem anyhow.
Same thing.
The same thing happened to me, the only way I could fix it was to restore a nandroid from when it worked and update my apps from titanium backups. Still don't know what happened or why.
Ok, yeah I am kind of assuming I am going to have to do a reset or load a custom ROM or something. Thanks for the info.
If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know please.

Yes I am also having this issue, It was working last night Now it will not show up at all. I did nothing.. I did get a update on my Super user
Can't root (SU) or use FoxFi after Sprint ASA-14 update
So I never rooted my phone and made the mistake of allowing Spring to do an OTA update to ASA-14. Now all the root exploits don't work and FoxFI doesn't work. Since I can't root I can't use Wifi Tether either.
I desperately need someway to let my phone do a WIFI Hotspot with sprint ASA-14 update on my phone! HELP!
Why can't you just unlock the bootloader and root?

I have unlocked the bootloader, but with the ASA 14 update I am unable to root via the moto2fail method. I was able to root with ASA 10 using the same method but when I try to downgrade I get a security error on the stock bootloader.

Motofail2go is broke with the ASA14 firmware. If you are unlocked, flash the TWRP recovery available in this sub-forum and it will root your phone for you..
Get your TWRP image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070

The new TWRP automatically roots the device... flash TWRP and when you reboot TWRP it will detect you are not rooted and root the device for you.... so I'm not sure how that thread is easier lol.
Either way, you will get root and custom recovery. So either method is fine.

Yeah..actually I rooted by flashing cwm and then the superSU.zip. After that,I flashed TWRP. I'm getting used to TWRP since using SS3 on my D4.

Success!
Thanks for your help! I got TWRP installed and then installed the SU.zip and now I have root with ASA 14.
FoxFI still doesn't work but I was able to get "WiFi Tether" to work since I am now rooted.
I rooted and now the WIFI tether app will not work/.. ANY IDEAS
just FTR, my photon q with some version of CWM and supersu as the root program was able to use "wifi tether" (no longer available on the market!?). this was just last night.
the only problem is that it can only broadcast an ad-hoc network. this isn't picked up by a lot of devices, namely tablets. my win7 laptop can see it and connect just fine, however.
i tried changing the "setup method" to the only other of the two available (some ad-hoc method and "native framework tether") and the device crashed. when it rebooted, it was selected, but it didn't work.
food for thought.

Not to hijack but can anyone recommend an app to hide the tethering usage from the carrier? Like a proxy app? Thanks in advance.
i just downloaded kingoroot and plugged my phone in (the pc version) my phone is ZTE Zmax 2 Z955L from straight talk i think i just got it rooted BECAUSE
Kingo root says "root succeeded", and on my phone, a thing popped up asking to give root access to "super user"
however, the root check apps return it as not rooted. i dont know what this means and i am up for sharing screen shots.
Also most, if not all apps tat require root, will not work (at least for my case) because eventhough it asks for root permission, it will say that its been denied.
Please give me your thoughts about this

okay so i trie getting SuperSU from chainfire, asked for the binarys, so i hit install. but it wouldnt do anything but sit there at the installing window so i rebooted my phone and root was gone. in the kingo super user app, all the root access items that i allowed were still listed but it said there was no binary.
i tried rooting again with kingoroot and it said it failed.. not sure what to make of this
but do please give me your input
Kingo PC is working now. But your need to uninstall kingo superuser app in order to get root. or you need to go into kingo superuser app to Deny and Allow a few time for it to work. it's only a temp root. we need TWRP now!

You could try factory resetting the device... I haven't tried that but just a thought.
I'm hoping this might be the first step to getting root on Zmax 2!!! (I also hope I helped a bit)
King root via PC worked fine for me. I have debloated so far with success. I'm check for a super user dependant test, like hot-spot for super users and we'll get back at ya!

Wow, can you double check to make sure you actually rooted the phone, Hemanolio? If the Zmax 2 is truly rooted (and not just temporary) then a lot of people out there are going to be really happy! :laugh::laugh:
I just bought one myself from best buy. just waiting for it to get delivered in the next few days.
The Kingo App (kingoapp.com) worked as a temporary root. Kingroot didn't work for me but I didn't have the drivers installed when I attempted to use it first. This worked for me on two Zmax2 phones and allowed me to remove all bloatware. Both my devices are firmware B12 (ATT GO Phone requires ATT sim to update). Works like a charm but seems to be temporary.
AFAIK ZTE sells an unlocked version of this phone that isn't carrier branded so eventually it might be possible to get more reliable updates that way or perhaps a clean stock rom with just ZTE bloat. I don't have much hope on all that though.
What are you using to remove bloatware? KingoRoot successfully rooted my phone and the Root Checker is reported that it's all good, but every app that I use to remove the apps is failing. I can't manually do it either, I get errors.

You can use the Kingroot app itself to remove things you don't want namely the ATT software all of it plus all the Google apps minus the play store.
Not really
Kingo does not really work. All I succeeded in doing was changing my search engine in firefox. I'm sure it's great for all the other phones, but this one does not work.
EDIT: Should mention mine is Z958
Using Kingo root and all it tells me is unknown network error.

So, apparently it was temp rooted by kingo, but was able to install king root (which failed to root), but every so often king root pops up with a root error warning...I press the back button and it takes me to the full king root app with all the options, including debloating, and now Wifi Access Point app works. Tethering was my main desire, so I'm satisfied. Again, I temp rooted with kingo and then installed kingroot

mine is currently rooted (fully & permanently) just had to disable system read/write protection with this method: androidforums(dot)com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/
afterwards i ran kingo root pc, then ran the droid version* then used supersume. voila persistant root working on z955a zmax 2
does this help anyone? hope so
ran both pc and droid version because pc version was not detected by supersume. droid version was. using droid version only might be quicker and still work. not sure

Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version.
For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users.

I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958.
I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is a backup since my Nexus was destroyed).
Any update on the z958 status?
Thanks
