Download busybox installer by jrummy16 from google play.when u open it and it says not rooted.your not rooted.if it stays open,you are rooted ao far. Then look at the info on screen itll say weather busybox is installed or not.if its not,install it and reboot.then you can download the "ATRIX 2 bootstrapper" from the stickies thread in on "rooting" (i believe its here). Install that apk and youll be ready to install roms through cwm recovery.if its not rooted,you can check the "root" thread and download the "one-click exploit" to root your phone.

You could also download terminal emulater, and then type su. If you get access granted you're rooted.

Just did super one click root and wondering if I can install roms from rom manager now. Inspire root was so much more crazier.

Of course everyone is going to have a difference of personal opinion, but if you're looking for a solid ROM try Infused 2.2.3

I suggest that you go to the dev section. There was only a couple of roms that were downloadable using rom manager. But now that he's moved to a new phone, he may have removed it.
Cranky...
My main question is am I able to do custom roms now just by doing super one click. On the inspire I had to create a gold card and took 20 mins to root. This took 5 mins or less lol

Not quite, you also need to install mod 3e recovery, and clockwork mod.
Easiest way (for me) is to odin uckd5 stock + root + 3e recovery (just follow link below), then download rom manager or whatever any other way you want to install custom rom.

1. Root - Best to use Super One Click (Find in Dev section)
2. Replacing Recovery file with Root Explorer app. (Free @ 4shared.com)
3. Download Rom Manager in the Market. (Free). In the app, Click flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and select Galaxy S i9000.
4. Shop for Roms in the Dev section and follow steps.
If you do your research in the dev section, you will be fine but you must follow step by step!

For future reference Adam outler packaged the defuse (froyo) kernel into a one click heimdall package, you can find it in the same thread as the one click uckj4 GB ROM heimdall.
The defuse one is for froyo and will root you and has cwm baked in. all you need is Java (any operating system) the heimdall backend (link in the Java app to install it) and on windows you need drivers (you already have them)
You may need to open the jar file from command line depending on the OS but its pretty easy.
I just did the update to Android 4.0.4 through Kies today. As I've determined I'm not a fan of Touchwhiz, I'd like to root my Skyrocket.
Does anyone know if the root process for 2.3.6 would also work for this version? If not, does anyone know where I could find how to root the device?
Search is your freind. LOL even thou it says for ics leak, it works on the factory stuff as well as GB 2.3.6

I rooted the stock ICS earlier today via this method, and can confirm that it works.
I used this method on UCLF5 and root explorer routinely has problems mounting system. Not sure why.
You need to make sure u have busybox installed. I know that works for me, for i used to have the same issues. It didnt matter if it was GB or ics. Iam sure others will disagree, but just telling how i fixed that problem on my phone.

I need a little help here, Noobie that I am.....I had rooted sr brought it back to stock and then upgraded it to ics 4.04 stock. Then rooted it again using the methods found in this thread. I got it to take after the third time and it show superuser in the apps section and I can open it. I downloaded pro copy of titanium pro and the free version but it tells me the phone is not rooted:crying: I and that I need to ensure I have busybox. I download that also and i still cannot get titanium to knowledge the root. Any suggestions would be most helpful. I would like to freeze some of the bloatware as I did when I had gingerbread 2.36 and had titanium running.
update: used the newest version of superuser and installed busybox installer and still no go. I downloaded root check and it says not rooted. guess when I get home tonight I will re-root again....

No, you need a cistom recovery installed on phone to flash the su file
You can try twrp recovery that uses goo manager to install its twrp but I think(99.999% sure) u have to be rooted first
You can read my link in my sig about rooting

Need root to have the recovery script.... You could go buy an original gangster Android 1.x phone and use androot or z4root and ginger break
All of which don't work on the sky rocket
Download goo manager and go to a friends house goo has All the files needed like super user and odin

So i just bought this today from bestbuy. I have a GS3 rooted anyway, I know what I'm doing for the most part. My question is, my tablet is rooted out of the box? I was installing my apps and it installed root explorer, rom manager and superSU. When i opened rom manager and R/E supersu asked for permision. I can also go in R/E and edit or delete apps as I can with my rooted S3. The only thing is clockwork is not installed, i go to install it and only gives me 3 options for samsung phones. My status evens says normal and it has no flash counts. I know they could be cleared, anyway has anyone else seen this?

Try writing a file to "/system". If you can't, you're not actually rooted. Installing apps that require root doesn't mean you're rooted either. If you need root and CWM, check the CF-Root thread in Original Development.

Root Checker is also helpful with this type of question.
I'm sure this has already been posted but I can't find it. If so I'm sorry and please just link me to it. I just picked up my Verizon Galaxy S3 about an hour ago. I rooted it using "RootDebugfs.bat". After rooting I installed ClockworkMod ROM manager then installed the ClockwordMod Recovery. Then I downloaded CM10 Stable using the ROM Manager and installed the CM10 Stable ROM. After the phone got done backing up my system and installing the custom ROM it rebooted to a screen saying
System software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.
