For everyone like me thats having trouble with Super One Click freezing during root, you can also root your phone by installing GINGERBREAK on your phone.
Gingerbreak.apk can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
1. Download the latest version from your phone or PC.
1a. If you download from your PC, adb install or just copy to your sd card.
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources and USB Debugging checked in Settings>Applications
3. Browse to the file using any file explorer and install.
4. Open the app and just click ROOT.
5. Let it do its work and reboot. Once back up, you will be rooted
ENJOY
Devs if this has already been posted and i missed it, feel free to remove or close this thread.
Has anyone had success using this on G2X? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere or on the gingerbreak thread. Thanks.

yeah, super one click is the way to go
So, I realised there was guides on how to root our phone but not one on how to un-root(completely).
Here it goes.
1)Your phone must be rooted.
2)Download Z4Root(Note that you should never root your phone with z4root)from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
3)Install Z4Root on your device.
4)Download SuperOneClick from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
5)Settings>Applications>Check Unknown Sources(In your phone)
6)Settings>Applications>Development>Check USB Debugging
7)Open SuperOneClick(Make sure that you have all of your device's drivers installed on your pc)
8)Click 'Driver Check'(Just to make sure there is no issues with your drivers.)
9)Open Z4Root and click un-root.(On your phone)
10)Connect your phone to your pc.
11)In superoneclick, click un-root.(Ignore if it says you do not have superuser at the end)
12)Unplug your phone from the pc.
13)DONE!!
Optional: You may install a app from the market called root checker(Free) to check that your phone is completely unrooted.
The main purpose of me posting this guide is because if you just un-root your device from superoneclick, it will only uninstall root and not busybox(also known as incomplete un-root). This guide will help you completely unroot your device(Uninstall both root access and busybox).
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone but will help you with all my knowledge.
You may post any enquiries below or any other thing you would like to see in the future.
Hit the 'Thanks' button if I have helped you out.
U can also do this by super one afaik.

Did you read the whole post? Un-rooting with super one click would only remove root access but not busybox.
Thanks ephraim033.
Can someone kindly please test if this works. The so far I only tested this on 7 devices. It worked though.

This is for people who do not have cwm and do not want to risk of soft bricking their phones with cwm, but anyways your guide is good as well buddy.

i tested it and it worked, thanks soo much !!
Talking about Gingerbread, how will one root it?
SuperOneClick is not working for me.
So for me cwm or cf-root is the saviour.
So if I use cwm or cfroot, then I will probably remove root via cwm.
pls no unroot in z4root coz i cant find it
it works great but :good::good:,, it doesnt remove cwm and tweaks..??
how to remove them both.?
I rooted my phone and when i Turned it off this happens please help me!
is my phone rooted?

Windows can be funny sometimes so make sure you plug it into the same USB port as before.
Barring that, I think you can use Heimdall for the Mac.

ok so Im going to install the drivers on windows again then try to put it in download mode? right sorry im a noob
It may not say it's in download mode. If you still see the computer icon, it's in download mode. The heimedall may be the best route for this issue. Just flash and you'll see the status bar and the rest details of what it's doing? I no need to worry about getting in flash mode. Just make sure you have the drivers installed.

One click root tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736271
And also Z4root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
And Also Super one click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Now on every android device what ever it was it Must have a boot loadre
So power off your device and hold down volume down then power button
if not volume up and power button and if you were lucky it will be in English or you can see a chinese translator
I ve been able to access my friends tablet boot loader but it was Chinese in the boot loader there might be things to help
Any way the program up there in the link it is universal so it should root your device
of course i can,t use it cuz iam on HTC EVO 3D
If i helped please Kick the thanks button for me

Don't say z4root won't work, it never works unless you're on eclair. I'm saying you can't make a post simply stating something doesn't install on this forum, you gotta at least say "when I try to install it says 'application not installed'" or the like.
Like I said before, you shouldn't expect it to work anyways, so why make a post saying it won't work? Don't tell me how was I supposed to know that, because googling z4root will yield you some results from 2 or 3 years ago.
I also suggested you try unlock root and superoneclick, because the poster before you said to try superoneclick as well and my translation of your post was that you chose to ignore that suggestion.

thanks for replaying
btw i was almost sure z4 wont work
cuz when i first bought my htc evo 3d
i started to search for easy ways to do and failed
so boom went to hard ways
and then i become an expert in evo 3d
first thing was hard to me l0l unlocking the bootloader hehe
then i moved on
it was hard as hell
and some times i get errors and stay hourse on google trying to figure out how to fix them
so then i started my channel to let the people know what i know
some day i flashed a kernal for cdma on a gsm phone
phone won,t boot and i kep trying and trying but i finaly i found and created a video about how to fix it(how to flash boot img)
And finaly guys i knew that easy ways are bad
they are easy cuz the don,t do well
Hard work always give results
easy ways don,t
every time you wan,t to post a question make sure to have full details
like we all do in xda(iam new)
paste your full details please :laugh:
