Root? - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Is there any kind or root app based on a android platform or in other words an android app that would be able to perform a one touch root for this somewhat aggrivating phone
Btw I have a sk4g

Super One Click is easy enough... even though you might have to try multiple times, its the closest thing to a "one touch root".

This is though is that my com doesn't work its stuck in ubuntus command line on boot so I can't use it until I get a different boot image

Downloading now. Can i flash from the 1.6 version or do i need to go back to stock and use the cwm3?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I'm going to just boot back into recovery from terminal and try flashing like that. I'll let you know how it goes.
I was able to flash over 1.6 with rom manager.

Something i noticed, it picks up that the phone has a flash for the camera its just the flash doesnt come on. Dont know if you knew but thought i would mention it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Got this running, had to flash back to stock first, was running the previous release of miui.us, my phone didn't like the 3 button recovery loading and boot looped, looks like the in call audio was fixed though as I didn't have to factory reset after it installed and its working fine. Thanks for the work and for fixing the Verizon labeling, I know it was cosmetic but its nice that it says my provider.

Can we do *228 on the on this one.

Clockwork won't stick, any ideas?

So I'm on 2.3.5 and I rooted using (one click root) method and everything is cool but I find myself having to flash clockwork every time via rom manager, is there any way to make it stick?

Yeah, it works on these devices, but it is mainly designed for media player use, like the Google Nexus Q.

As stated in original thread if you hear sound but black screen you need to send him logcat and device model. Its a known issue.

My friend and I both tried different builds. I always have black screen. Funny thing is that the first time he tried it worked for him. He didn't play any movies but he was going through the settings. He closed it and it never opened again. Just black screen.

Same here.I was able to run once, and thats it.We shoud send log cat or something to devs...
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
I didn't try it yet but...
Could work if we'll trick the program to think that it's on another device? I mean changing the identity of O3D, as it happens in the Xperia 3D rom by Meemo if I'm not in error. With that ROM the update program and Google Play were seeing my phone as a SE Xperia not as LG O3D!
I'll be peeing against the wind but it worth a shot to try.
So we have to edit build.prop?We need to find the line where device name is i gues...
Will try this...

Looking at my build.prop I see the lines:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Anyway you should see first a build.prop file of a device that you know it works
And pay attention to what you modify because you can brick it, get a boot loop or something like that.
And you should ask advice from a developer... they are all good guys and I think that would help you gladly.
Again I might be peeing against the wind - but you never know.
I did a full backup and then edit build.prop to NEXUS S.With no luck, i got the same error.Will try with different edit in build.prop... Thx for you help.:thumbup:

Thanks.But one stupid question: what version have you tried? I guess the Neon version because ours doesn't have Tegra.But one I've tried Tegra designed games and some of them worked.See my early threads.I'll try also but I'm not so brave with coding or something like that
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Both versions.None of them working.But one thing that I've noticed is that if you go to kill application and clear cache you'll see that this one, the cache is about 45 Mb which is a lot and therefore freezes the phone.Could this be a problem?Cache file too big?I think that in the end it needs bigger RAM, like 1 Gb.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

Haha, not on this version Just says it's out of date. I think there's some kind of a flashable zip to update right now.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified
