Froyo Root Instructions using Superoneclick And Unrooting

ROOTING:
Since z4root, one of the easiest ways to root, is not working on Froyo in Galaxy 3, I decided to make this separate thread for instructions on how to root Froyo using Superoneclick.
First and foremost: Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development. Make sure it is ticked.
Download the attached Superoneclickv1.5.zip file. Extract its contents. Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the computer (Samsung Kies). Then follow the steps:
1. From the extracted contents, run the file named Superoneclick.
2. Turn off your phone, then connect it to the computer using the USB Cable. Don't turn on the phone. Keep it off but connected to the computer.
3. In Superoneclick, click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.
4. Now turn on your phone (while it is still connected to the computer). Superoneclick will detect the phone.
5. Now the phone will be rooted, while it is starting up. When it is started, it'll be rooted.
6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone. It should take care of any slowing down of your phone after rooting.
That's it. The phone is now rooted, although it would be so much better if z4root worked on Froyo..
For those getting stuck at the 'pushing raceagainstthecage' step, try this method. Credits go to haree:
1. login as admin and then open the application. Or right click on Superoneclick.exe and click on 'Run as administrator'.
2. turn off ur Virus protection
3. remove all the additional external USB devices(this seems to confuse the SW)
i removed all the above mentioned
and then follow the instructions u will be successful
it worked for me now i have 2.2 and rooted

UNROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Unfortunately, the method to unroot by clicking on the Unroot button in Superoneclick does not work. So follow the following steps to unroot.
1. Download rootexplorer.apk (attached) and install Root Explorer on phone.
2. Run Root Explorer. A 'Superuser Request' prompt will come up. Press Allow.
3. Now, on the top, there will be a button saying 'Mount R/W'. Press it. It should change to 'Mount R/O'. The button should say 'Mount R/O' in order for you to be able to do anything in the following steps.
4. Now scroll to the bottom, click on system. Then click on bin.
5. In the bin folder, look for a file named 'su'. Long press on this file, and select Delete to delete it.
6. Now go back to the system folder by pressing the Back button once.
7. Now enter the app folder. Scroll down and look for the file named 'superuser.apk'. Long press on this file and delete it.
8. Exit Root Explorer after this. Uninstall it if you don't want to use it.
9. That's it. Your phone will be un-rooted.
Another method to unroot:
1. Download and install Terminal Emulator (attached).
2. Run Terminal Emulator on the phone. If you don't see a keyboard to type, press Menu and press Toggle Soft Keyboard.
3. Type su and press enter. Press Allow on the 'Superuser Request' prompt. The $ sign will change to a #.
4. Now type the following line exactly as it is and press enter: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
5. Nothing will happen visually. The pointer will shift to a new line.
6. Now type the following line and press enter: rm /system/bin/su
7. Again, type following line and press enter: rm /system/app/superuser.apk.
8. Now exit Terminal Emulator. Your phone is un-rooted.

Hehe, first i thought it makes no sense to write a howto on this since its described in the SOC thread anyway, but man the idea to do it during boot is ubercool, didn't think of that...

I know it's explained in the SOC thread, but many people keep asking on the "Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5800: root, gps fix, upgrading" thread about rooting Froyo, so I thought it's better to have one SOC thread right in the Galaxy 3's Development Section. It'll save everyone reading through a lot of pages on that thread..

Can't unroot using the same procedure, but have added another procedure to do it.
This method does work for everyone. The only new step in my procedure is to do it while the phone is booting.

Are your phone drivers properly installed? Does your computer make a 'Hardware connected' ding sound when you turn on the phone? If not, then you'll have to install Samsung Kies and then connect the phone to the computer to install the drivers. Try rooting after that.

all drivers are installed.. i reinstalled twice.. when i connect in usb debugg.. says installing some adb stuff after fews secs.. comp says hardware might not work properly not properly installed. all other drivers wrk fine.. wat can i do to install adb drivers properly. . i have windows xp

Connect your phone to your computer. Then open the Device Manager. Then look for the entry 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' in the list. It might be under the ADB Interface tab. Right click on the 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' and uninstall it.
Then reconnect your phone to the computer and see if the ADB drivers get installed properly this time.

did that also....uninstalled and connected the phone. still the same error..
hardware not properly installed.. it might not work properly
i got windows xp 32-bit

Sorry, I'm using Windows 7, so I've no idea what to do about the drivers in Windows XP. Try updating Kies..

i also have win 7 and it doesnt work...help??

I can't help if the drivers on your computer are not installed properly. After connecting the phone while it is ON, open the Device Manager and see if the ADB driver is properly installed.
If the drivers are properly installed, this method will work..
Edit: As mentioned by mhndk14 below, enable USB Debugging in Settings>Applications>Development.

I also had the same problem with windows 7. Just make sure that the USB Debugging is enabled and then try again. It worked for me.

how to bring the phone back to factory settings
hi how can i get back my phone to the original factory settings? i rooted using z4mod and when unrooted the live wallpapers wont go... and how do i get my boot menu when restarted on my 1 5801??

To remove the Live Wallpapers, you'll have to root your phone, and then use Root Explorer to remove the files Livewallpaperspicker.apk from system/app, and libRS.so and librs_jni.so from system/bin. Then un-root your phone. Be sure to press the 'Mount R/W' button in Root Explorer to be able to delete the files.
As for restoring your boot menu, that procedure is there somewhere in the Development section. The boot menu changes because of upgrading, not rooting.

It seems i have lost haptic feedback after rooting(jpb), anybody else experience this?
Edit: lol
It was probably sue to the "forced" reboot, but I accidently dropped my phone (batteries feel out) and now it's working

Yeah, haptic feedback stops working sometimes on JPA and JPB after rooting. But restarting the phone corrects it. (Although your method of restarting the phone was too brutal!! )

Thanks addicted2088...worked perfectly...

successfully rooted..........
now i need to know how to install live wallpapers......
thanks

[Q] How can I safely root the galaxy s?

I have downloaded the one click and samsung drivers. The program opens fine. But I have read some people getting phones messed up from rooting with this program?
Should I remove the SD card first before rooting?
Does this program work with 2.2 one click for Galaxy?
Thanks!

Hey
the version i used is 1.7 and no problem here ....
I have read somewhere that you should unmount your sd card , well i didnt and still got phone rooted..
i dont see much of problem with it ..... it will take around 5 mins so just be patient.....dont forget to install samsung drivers .... and put phone into developer mode

Can not get it to work.
Yes I did download Samsung drivers succesfuly.
Yes I enabled Debugging mode succesfully
Tried using both One click 1.7 in Rage mode. Tries to work but just cursor flashing and does nothing.
Then used the other One click program that comes up with BLUE SAMSUNG I9000 and has choice to One click 2.1, 2.2 or remove root.
I choose 2.2 and then phone resets like when I used Clockwork on my old HD2.
I chose correctly to install the files.
PHone loads files but then get error code and wont install them. Reads Signiture Verification Failed!
I read others having same issue of phone not letting files install.
Anyhelp!
I know its not rooted as Titanium Backup is not getting root permission..

Down root check fron the market. Just because Titainium is not getting root permission does not mean it's not rooted. It’s not that difficult to root the SGS 4G Phone. The first thing you need to do is make sure your phone is communicating with your computer. Install the Samsung USB drivers.(make sure you have the right drivers for your O.S. either 32bit or 64bit) In your phone go into Settings/Applications/Development and make sure you check “USB debugging”. Connect your Tethering cable to your phone. On your home screen you should see “USB Connected” popup on top of your screen. You should be able to press USB connected button from the drop-down menu on the home screen and see the external SD card on the computer now. If that works then Turn off USB storage. (leave “USB debugging” checked) Then Download SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse, expand the file and go to SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse Directory. Run the SuperOneClick App. When it opens don’t change anything and just click “Root” and let it run. It should say rooted when done. Then go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It will ask for SuperUser permission and accept that on your phone. If that fails press “Problems” button, Then “Get Busybox”. Install the new Busybox. You may have to close and reopen Titanium Backup again. BTW this post should be in general.

yeah, i dont suggest you use rage. it took forever for me to root the phone that way. i left it on psneuter and it rooted in about 5 minutes

Thanks guys! Yes Rage was the issue. I followed his instructions and left in pnuueter and it worked perfectly! Now my Titanium is rooted and working.
Now if we could just get a good Apsd to let us format the SD card to ext 4 that would be a perfect world!
Thank you.

Moved to proper forum.

^ thats what i forgot to tell him to change it lol

Rooted my SGS4G using Superoneclick.
2 things I noticed. Your AV will think that Rage is a virus. NOD32 kept quarantining it. I turned off both AV and FW.
Also, after you install the Samsung USB driver, reboot your computer. I had that "waiting for device" message until I rebooted computer. Then it flew. The driver doesn't offer to reboot, or tell you to.

Hi Friend,
I have rooted my Alcatel OT990 with Super One Click

If you get that,just close it.

Wrong place, but it worked for me (although I had to stop the pda app on my phone in order for superoneclick to root it). I got titanium backup running which confirmed rootage, I may well have installed several virii on both my win7 netbook and my ot990 ( ), but at least I can delete some of the apps that I previously couldn't and can now work on install clockwork and a stock rom without all the apps I don't want on my phone but can't delete..
So thank you Mr/Ms Original Poster.

Worked like a charm!
THANK YOU!

Just tried this out, and it works!
I'm going to buy a Galaxy Nexus soon, but this helps bridge the time. now I can remove some of the preinstalled apps, to save some of the extremely small amount of memory this phone has... still don't understand why they did that.

Can you please explain me when I root the phone what I get? And how can I move my instalation files on SD card. Thank you in front.

uhm.. i have alcatel ot-985n blaze.
I don't have an experience about rooting. Can you guys help me to root my phone?
I need to put other files to my sd card because I can't install some apps anymore with low internal memory.
thanks in advance! ;D

Successfully rooted Beetel Magiq II!

Hi friends just rooted the Beetel Magiq II. Had asked beetel customer care for usb drivers they said they don't have drivers. I took it as challenge but with risk to root my device.at the outset let me say that do whatever with your own risk I am not responsible if your device bricks (hard or soft).
Steps for rooting
1) first you would require drivers for the tablet as beetel has not provided with any CD for drives. So you have to download the drivers for the same. Since you all know that it is Huawei Ideos s7 tablet,we will download the drivers from huawei website. it is ~13 mb file. download and extract the file at location. attach the ideos tablet to pc or laptop. it would ask for driver location so access the folder that you created and depending on your system XP, W7 or vista. Alternatively go to device manager and it would show drivers not installed for ideos tablet just right click and select update drivers it would ask for location and according update drivers. It is important to update drivers before rooting.
.
2)Then download Super One Click Root Appv.1.9.1 and save it on your desktop.)
3)Now go to phone settings and enable USB Debugging.
4) Once this is done, launch SuperOneClick.exe by double clicking. Now click on Universal tab on screen
5) Now simply click on Root tab and wait for the process to finish. It will take some time so hang in there. In between it would ask some options click on right options, which would be easy.
6)After the rooting is complete, click Allow Non Market Apps if you need to.
There you go! you now have a rooted handset ready to accept any custom ROM.
7) download root checker basic and check to confirm that your device is rooted on not.
Hope this would help you
regards

Ok I just picked up one of these and it's rather different from other Aos phones i've rooted. you need to have SDK installed with Platform-tools
try to put them on C: if not just be able to navigate to the Dir to acess the adb shell. If you need help just google how to acess adb shell and im sure you can find a vid on youtube to help.
Rooting this phone isnt something hard. I didn't make the zip file All credit goes to Vadim for actually doing that. I took the update.zip file from the root method of the Huawei Ascend II and flashed it onto my Activa using adb.
The obligatory "I am not responsible to what happens with your phone and you flash this image at your own risk etc etc.. You all basically know the drill ;P"
Before starting make sure that you have the Android sdk installed on your computer. (I recommend installing it to the root directory of your hard drive)
Also install the USB Drivers by auto running the program when you plug in your phone via usb.
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled
And now the process:
1.Download the update.zip via download link below.
2.Copy the download to the root of your phones SD Card
3.Hop on over to command prompt and go into the platform-tools directory of the SDK 'cd \whatever.path.to.sdk\Android\platform-tools'
4.Run 'adb devices' and make sure your device is there, it should say M920
5. If its there then reboot with recovery. 'adb reboot recovery'
6. Once booted into recovery then use the volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down and to select press camera button and then press power button. (Not at the same time )
7. Choose update from SD Card.
8. Choose the update.zip from the root of your drive.
9. After its done then reboot your phone and its rooted
anyway google root activa 4g and theres a youtube vid that will help. =it also can be found here "://androidforums.com/activa-4g-all-things-root/576135-guide-how-root-your-activa-4g.html"
This method does work but the binary is still outdated and Su fails when trying to update it.. but it still runs root exploreer just fine so you'll be able to remove whatever you want. As far as Dev work for this I am still trying to find a custom recovery img and hopeing some rom ports may be available soon. I'll post again if i find anything hope this helps..
(^^)\/

Any update on this? I know it has been over 6 months, but it still seems to be the only root thread on the Internet for this phone. Haven't tried it yet, but if I am understanding you right then the functionality of this root will be very limited. (no SU at all?)
I'm just wanting to tether it so my wi-fi only Nexus 7 can have mobile data.

Do you need a custom rom just to tether?
Another interesting note: Called MetroPCS about adding hot spot plan for this phone and they told me its not possible and I have to get a Quatro or something... That can't be right can it? I thought all modern Android devices with wifi can make wifi-direct or whatever tethering uses...
