[Q] Problems with Oneclick root?!

Hi,
I tried doing the Oneclick root with my Epic that is running 2.1 Eclair. When I installed Titanium and busybox it said phone is rooted. BUT when I start the phone in Manual mode to install update it only has 4 options:
Reboot
Install update
Wipe data
Wipe Cache
When I scroll down and select Install update it starts the process and then says e.signature verification failed update aborted. Is there something I am not doing right? I tried to unroot and reroot the phone but still get the same thing.
When I try the Root process with Oneclick Software for Samsung Galaxy One Click root it says the phone will restart and to select reinstall packages but I do not have that option. It still has the options shown above.
I know when I did my Hero and Evo I could get root and install Roms with no problems.
Can someone help please.

From reading you just need to install clockwork and then install roms and stuff. The kernels include a root, so install clockwork and install the rom I have in my signature. It already includes a kernel so that helps by one less thing you have to do. The one in my signature I have had no issues at all.

I installed rom manager (which is clockwork, right?) and tried to install a rom that way but when it reboots it goes to the same screen and gives the same message.

How are you rebooting into recovery? It sounds like you're hitting the stock recovery. Shut the phone down entirely and hold Vol -, Camera, and power. Keep holding until after the Samsung logo goes away.
Does this bring you more options?
If you still get nothing, try this instead

Nope.... Same options. I will read the link you provided.
Also, Busybox says that my phone is rooted then I click install and it says I do not have nand unlocked. Maybe this is the problem?

I might be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure getting nand-unlocked is a part of the rooting process. Perhaps the root didn't work entirely for you, I had a lot of problems using the 1 click root with my first epic because of timing, I had to open the batch file and replace the ping 127etc (the delays) with a pause command because the phone took too long to respond and the second half of the rooting process would fail. Try the link I posted, it worked out well on my first phone.

Thanks....So far I have removed the Oneclick root from it and now it says the phone is not rooted. My next step is to root again... Hope it works.

Worked great! Thank you!!!

[GUIDE]How to root galaxy 3[i5800/i5801] on 2.2 froyo??

There are two ways to root your galaxy 3 on 2.2/2.1
Z4ROOT(2.1)
1.Download the attached z4root.apk and install it.
2.Enable USB Debugging
3.Go into z4root and click on Permanent Root.
Super One Click Root(2.2)
Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the computer (Samsung Kies). Then follow the steps:
1. Enable USB Debugging.
2.In Superoneclick 1.7, check regeagainstthecage then click on the 'Root' button. After a few seconds, it'll say 'Waiting for device'.
3. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB Cable.
4. Superoneclick will detect the phone.
5. Now the phone will be rooted.(don't touch while it is going on.)
6. After rooting, download and install busybox on your phone.(get it from market)
If you run into any problems then, follow the instruction s given below..(by hodostamas)
If the program stucks here:
Running rageagainstthecage...
or
getting mount path...
Do this:
1. If touchwiz is the default launcher, set it.
2. Reboot your phone
3.Try to root again following the above instructions
(It should be pass Running rageagainstthecage...)
Restart phone, and try again.
It should work now.

Already rooted using superoneclick long ago.
Just wanted to know-
if manual rageagainstthecage method using terminal emulator works with g3?
And update.zip method works for froyo? (they say it's for eclairs, I personally never tested on froyo or eclairs, but it seems to be the easiest method if it works, after z4root which doesn't work)

is there any new way to root the phone ?

I find that flashing a custom rom is a lot easier since it is pre-rooted and it's got a lot of performance tweaks etc but i'm using stock rom atm and i rooted it using superoneclick. If you have android 2.1 then use z4root (an app on your phone) which i have used for my first time rooting on this phone when i had android 2.1 and if you have android 2.2 then use superoneclick root (a program on your computer). Hope this helps.

Flash via cwm recovery and get root access if u have not yet
u dont need a laptop (super one click root) u only need a custom recovery,
btw every custom rom comes prerooted, it is only usefull for those who have stock rom (Odexed or deodexed) with a custom recovery(g3mod kernel)

Any fix for this?

Superoneclick 2.1 stuck on Step 6 HELP

Hi,
Im trying to root my G2X using superoneclick but everytime it reaches step#6 the program says not responding and it just locks up. Has anyone had this issue and knows how to resolve it? Im running the G2X with the gingerbread update and the latest superoneclick which I beleive is 2.1. I unmounted the SD card and I have the USB debugging checked.
Anyone?
Thanks

Superoneclick does not work on gb update, nvflash custom recovery, then just flash any rom you want.
Look in dev section on how to nvflash custom recovery.
Start here http://tinyurl.com/3ejyxct

Dude u people need to do a little research wtf man u probably been at this for days all u have to do is flash recovery with nvflash use tga gunman's guide its a one click tool like the tool we use for root its one button done, then u just flash xboarders rom or cm or even restore a backup if u have one anything with root will give u root privileges, I myself updated with LG updater tool (I just wanted baseband) I then flashed recovery, then restored my cm nightly backup, still had new baseband and was rooted again

Thanks, it worked perfectly

As ancient as this thread may be, I thought I would comment in case it comes up in a Google search (as it did for me).
As it was going through step #6, the common freeze point, I simply disconnected and toggled USB debugging to work it through each phase. It went to step #7, repeated, then left it to install busybox, superuser, and so forth.

As far as I know the exploits are blocked for security reasons so they never get root access. Without temporary root super one click cannot install the programs needed to make root permanent. If this is a work around that would be a new development.

still don't get it

doesnt matter what device people use. ultimately, stock GB freezes at step 6. can anyone can validate the steps above, "to unplug the cable and toggle usb debugging" works or not?
if the only way is to flash the device, then there is no Rooting tool available yet for GB stock devices.

If the device has an alternate recovery (doesn't matter which one) you can use by G2X root zip to root it. It will work on any GB device that has an alternate recovery.

..well i do have a G2X, with 2.3.3 out of the box.... and it get stuck on step 6 too

You can't superoneclick root 2.3.3 only 2.2. You have to flash CWM recovery then install a root zip or pre rooted ROM. All can be found in the Dev forum.

So I take it the Droid 2 Global is impossible to root?

Okay I have searched and searched through these forums through and through and there is no possible way the root a Droid 2 Global. I have tried all the ways listed here Pete's way the One Click and the Superone Click and I tried Z4root and that didn't work either! Is there a new way to do this???(When I had my HTC Eris that was unrootable too.) I think Im gonna give up and on my next upgrade I'll probably just get an iPhone 4s or something, because any phone I touch will before outdated and unrootable and unable to flash any of the cool custom roms and play emulators and crap. I'll just an iPhone 4s and talk to siri.
Thanks anyway for all the help guys and thanks developer for all your hard work!!!

you're doing something wrong
edit: did you enable usb debugging?
how far did you get?
and miui ics is a cool rom

Z4root will NOT work on stock 2.3.3. I've been using a Droid 3 one click root tool for linux and it's been working without fail. I've noticed this tool also works on the regular D2. Z4root will only work with the original stock.
EDIT: As far as cool roms, I'm using MIUI ICS. You like ICS but don't want to spend 700 bucks for an off contract phone? That's right. Your D2G runs it just fine lol.

MIUI isn't really ICS. It's just bits and pieces of the framework.

Nothing. Once it finds the phone and the rooting process begins it will say running expoit 1 of 3 (setting up symlink) and it will remain at the reboot screen forever!
my phone says:
Bootloader DO.11
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB
then nothing happens!

This time I got the "server not running" error!

Make sure your phone is set to PC mode with USB debugging on. I usually have to run the script twice. The first time it doesn't do anything. End it and start it again and it works for me every time.
Also, as far as MIUI ICS, it's technically android 2.3.7 but it's still ICS to me lol. It's enough like it to make me happy.

Have you tried pulling the battery without unplugging the phone from the PC and closing the script's window?
So that it boots normally and continues.

I'm starting to think somehow that this screen somehow not allowing me the further root my phone! With the SuperOneClick the program running and then immediately stopped responding!
Any ideas?

what is the latest version?
I thought you just need it in usb charge mode and have usb debugging on
edit: I don't see a SuperOneClick that works with GB

1. Make sure you have Motorola drivers installed.
2. Download and unzip 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4'
3. On your phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging(check box)
4. Plug phone into computer and select "Charge Only" mode
5. Navigate to 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4' folder and run 'MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe'
6. Now just follow the instructions in the command window and unlock the phone after each reboot.
For Windows XP users having trouble try this -> v7 .bat One Click
edit: are you trying to using a computer with usb 1.0?
if that doesn't work, maybe sbf

Hi,
i am definitely not an expert, in fact everything i know about android i learned from reading other people's threads but i managed to root my droid 2 global yesterday using superoneclick.
the first time i tried to run it the program froze up in the middle of the process and wouldn't do anything, including close. while i was trying to figure out how to fix i came across a post that said to start the program while usb debugging is off and then turn it on when it says waiting for device so i tried that and it actually worked. go figure.
i have no idea if it will work for you or not but i thought i would share in case you wanted to give it a try.

[Q] LG Optimus 3D V20B cant root

Hi i know they have developed a root app for V20b but i keep on getting some corrupt installation stuffs. How do i root it?

What is exactly the problem that you can't root?

Can you give the following info?
1. What is the software u used to root it? This?
2. Is your phone in usb debug mode?
3. Do you have the latest LG drivers?
4. Did you also tried other methods to root that maybe damaged some files. (set phone to factory default in this case.)
If those are okay but your problem is not solved. Please make some screen shots of your errors.

This is his problem.
Try to uninstall everything you can.

Yeah try recovery then root again.:beer:

2. Connect phone via usb and have phone in debug mode
3. Click on the file called "run" once loaded press any key on PC to start the root
4. Phone will restart a few times while installing
5. You have a rooted LG Optimus3d/Thrill

1. Yes that software
2. Yes it is.

4. If i set to factory default, i will be downgraded to V10B i think. I did Superclick before. Is it the problem?

you can backup them but you still need to remove them after. Also i prefer to do a factory reset. Than you are sure you deleted all that's needed.
Only i'm wondering how many apps you installed i got 38 own installed apps and i rooted mine with no problems (v21b).
Edit: a factory default will not downgrade to early versions when you updated by FOTA or LG-Update tool. I bought my phone With v10b (rooted with superoneclick) later i did original update by FOTA to version v10e (Didn't lost root), Later i updated to version v21b. Do almost every month a factory reset and i never downgraded or lost root by doing that. Only all apps/contact/settings are deleted.

I have a similar problem.
tried to root my p920 with superoneclick and gingerbreak and none of them worked. the Superoneclick stoped at rooting device step #7. stayed there for an hour. I dont know the version of my firmwire ( those v10 or v20 stuff) because i dont know how to see it. Info of my p920 is gingerbread 2.3.5.
thks for helping
