somebody help me how to root droid 2 global. Thanks so much.
search for z4root. One click app that runs on your phone. Can't get much easier than that
Rooting the droid 2 global is just like rooting the droid 2 the droid X. So any methods for rooting those will work for the D2 G

They all employ the same exploit afaik so they will all work. Please correct me if z4root does something else entirely.

its not that, its the way the d2g's usb connection stays inactive when adb resets in the middle of the process. regular d2's dont do that. im not sure what causes it, but its what always messed up regular d2 root methods on the d2g.

It should as many have rooted and flashed ROM and one may have even soft bricked because you guys don't have the sbf yet.

I was successful using a terminal emulator on the phone running the same steps! Seems with the D2G the ADB connection never resets and allows a computer to connect again.
I just got a droid 2 global as well, i used z4root also worked like a charm.
Confirmed: the process for rooting the d2 doesnt work for d2g.

It DOES work, you just have to do it on the phone instead of adb through computer.
Droid 2 Global
I just got one of these phone i bought it from Motorola directly and thought it would come unlock but in vain its not the case
Anyone know how to get it unlock? I've called verizon but they ask me for a phone number which is under their line but then i'm not in USA.
So anyone know any possible solution for me to get it unlock?
Update ?
Does the newest OTA update break the root?

Yes, it did for me.
I used z4root to root.
After the update I tried su in the terminal emulator and got 'permission denied'. Wireless tether also did not work; no superuser request.
Running z4root again after the update fixed it and restored root access.
Z4Root Temporary Root
Has anyone successfully used the Temporary Root option from Z4Root on the D2G?
I already got the OTA update from Verizon for the latest update. I would just like to do a temporary root to remove all that crap Verizon installed on the phone.
My phone is not letting me download z4root.zip
How else can I get this phone rooted? I have the D2G.

The stock browser (the one you're using right?) doesn't like to download things unless there is a program that uses that filetype/file extension (i.e. .zip) so if you download a file manager explorer that can manipulate .zip's like Astro or something then you should be able to download it. Or you could always download it from your PC (or mac if that's your fancy) and put it on your sdcard from there.
i use z4Root v1.3 and it`s work for me, and have the option for un-root, it`s easy ..
yup Z4root is what i used on my d2g and it was simple as 123
and it even has an -un-root option which is handy
So... let me show my ignorance. I have downloaded Z4Root 1.30 to my Droid 1. I have seen several tutorilas that mention a backup. several suggest Droid X Recovery or Droid 2 Recovery by Clockwordmod. When I go to teh market to check out Droid 2 Recovery it says I need to be rooted first. What happens if the root goes bad and I don't have a pre-root backup?
Pretty simple root method.
1. Download SuperOneClick found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Once installed click rage option then Root.
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. If you don't see it either upgrade or using just the root button should work.
If it is frozen at waiting for device you will need to install the samsung drivers found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
If all goes well you should be rooted. Pretty simple wasn't?
At this time ClockworkMod nor RecoveryManager work so please don't ask about them. When they get updated we will post it.

true, however that thread doesn't have the links needed to do the root in the OP, so actually this thread is better for those looking to root without the need to go searching throughout the thread.
also when i rooted my device there wasn't a "rage" option for me to choose. i just clicked on root and everything went fine.
They can delete my thread if they want, it's not that big of a deal.
INCORRECT!!!
I did not have to use rage against the cage, i just did default exploit in superoneclick and everything went perfectly!

I also don't know what this Rage option is. I did shell root for temp root and then perm root via the root button on SuperOneClick 1.6.5
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. Will update main post.

Open super one click, make sure your phone is in debugging. Connect it to the computer. Select rageagainstthecage and click unroot.
It will unroot the phone.

I get an error message saying that it can't find the file specified. This is my first time rooting a phone and i have no idea what i am doing. I looked at the other thread and tried using the rage thing. Nothing is working.
I connected my phone via usb. Put it in mass storage, as opposed to Media Player or the Kies option.
Not sure where to even begin.
Dont put mass storage. Just leave it charging while having usb debugging.
Just tried that. Saying the same thing. I turn on debugging, connect the device via USB, open SuperOneClick, hit root, and it bring up the same thing.
Saying the system cannot find the file specified.
I just got the phone today and haven't done anything else to it, or added any apps to it or anything. Is there something i need to put on the phone or no?
all right thanks man ill try it out see if it works

How To:
1. Download the latest SuperOneClick.zip file to your Windows computer.
2. Extract the files from the .zip file into a new folder on your PC.
3. Plug your phone in to your PC and turn on USB debugging.
Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
4. Open the folder with the SuperOneClick contents and double click “SuperOneClick.exe”.
5. Allow the process to run and enjoy being rooted.

yep, superoneclick works. i think you have to use the psneuter exploit though. i read somewhere the rageinthecage doesn't work
Does the infuse have a locked bootloader?

Actually RageInTheCage works fine. I used it to create a Root/Unlock pack that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Howto Root and Unlock Infuse 4g
Just unpack and run the shell script or batch file.
I used Superoneclick yesterday worked like a charm. Just make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed and its a cake walk.
does anyone have a link for the correct drivers? I can't seem to find them.
Nevermind. Found them.

Agree, really easy with superoneclick.
It went thru first time, unlike my dell streak 5 which i spent lots of time before i was able to root it.
Superoneclick roots infuse on first try, if you have properly installed adb drivers of course

Now I just get "Waiting for Device" :/ bummer.
Yeah, I am rooted! Took two tries. Had to follow this advice:
If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try this
Unplug your USB Cable
Go to Settings > Applications > Development
Uncheck USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable
Unplug your USB Cable
Check USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable

I think it pretty much does. You'd want to unroot your phone if needed to take it back to the retailer for whatever reason.

And its probably safe to assume to "unroot" has been found. The phone is brand new so that would explain a great deal of it! Keep up the great work!

superoneclick is easy but it is a .exe for windows. im not sure if clshortfuse has a version for mac or linux.
the root/unlock from lost1 works pretty good, what issues are you having with it?
There's so much out there I have to ask it directly. I know it's got to be in the forum somewhere but I've read probably half dozen ways to do this and it's confusing.
I have a TMob Galaxy S 4g T959VUVKJ6 running T959VUVKJ6-CL694130 kernel (hope that means something to someone!) with 2.3.6 firmware that came with the phone.
How can I get rid of bloatware?
If I have to root first is there an ez way to do that, like SOC that works on my phone?
I rooted a previous phone but with an older firmware and used SOC. Looking for the same process if I can. Thanks in advance.
SOC V2.3.3 will work on GB. If you just want to root and keep the stock ROM that's your best bet.

Check my signature for FB's debloater. You do need to be rooted & have CWM installed to use it.

SOC is one way, but given that you need to have CWM installed I would suggest using the third link in bhndven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011].
After that, install [KERNEL]Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [02/24] to get on the latest beta kernel. It has the latest CWM which resolves an issue with CWM 3 not being able to mount /system on Gingerbread.

SOC will work, just make sure you have the latest version. However, to debloat you need CWM so I would forgo SOC & install the stuff above.
Nope. I downloaded SOC 2.3.3, checked USB debugging, plugged in my phone, it didn't ask my anything about my card, turned on SOC, clicked Root, it went through Killing ADB Server, daemon not running, daemon started successfully, and sat there at Starting ADB Server. Tried several times but no joy. Is it me?
It said Not Responding.
I haven't used it to root in a really long time personally. I know others have gotten it to work recently. Maybe try a different usb port. Here's a guide with some info on it. Read down a little bit and you'll see it. Sounds like your doing it right. Do you want to stay on stock and just have root? Or will you be playing with custom ROMs?

Same result. It stops responding. I'm probably going to keep it stock. I may do a custom ROM later but right now I can't get it to root. Can't figure it out.
You need to try a USB that you haven't used on your phone before. Follow the first link in my signature and go to the part about rooting. If fresh USB port doesn't work after following the guide it will probably be your USB cable.

Still no joy. I think this is just too hard to do, which brings me back to my original question. I'm sure some wizard will come up with a way to do this soon - just not now I guess. Thanks for the help though! I appreciate it. I guess I'll stay stock for awhile yet.
How could you have done what I said in that short of time? I think you aren't reading thoroughly and are waiting for a specific answer you want to hear.
Just follow the second link in my signature. You will be on rooted stock with CWM and the guide is DUMMY proof.
I think your right lumin....outside of the vibrant....this is the easiest phone to root.

Another simple way to get rid of bloatware is to use titanium backup or root explorer.
Because I am sitting at my computer working on this so it wasn't that hard to do. I had SOC open, had already downloaded file manager, etc. I never got a USB port to work but I'm going to try it again. Once I get a moment to take a deep breath. I really do appreciate the help but I don't want to do alot to do that. I got spoiled with SOC.

OK, I think it worked this time. The trick was to use IE and not Chrome apparently. It didn't go like the directions said but I ended up with a rebooted phone, lost all my apps and stuff, but with superuser on it so I assume I'm rooted and this won't start launching nuclear missiles or something. Thanks, Lumin! I appreciate your patience with me.
Hi. I have posted in another thread regarding problems with my Wind Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959W), which seems to be similar to rogerperk's issues, although the phone is a different model. lumin30 responded to the post saying that my phone is not supported by XDA. Being a noob, I don't understand why my phone is not supported. It is still a Galaxy S 4G, is it not; albeit with different baseband.

Billy even tho your phone is a SGS4G it is different from the T-Mobile phone. So our methods wont work. We dont know anything about your phone or even how to root it. You are probably stuck with a locked up phone.
Super One Click is not specific to our model phone. I will post a link to the website for you to read up on and determine if you want to try using it to root. I haven't read anybody messing their phone up with SOC - however, keep in mind you will not have a way to fix your phone if you do mess it up.

Hi gang.
I recently ditched my Windows partition since I never use Windows anymore. I also went back to stock. It has been fine but I realized I want root for a few things.
My question is, is there a way to root 2.3.6 on Linux? Heimdall doesn't seem to be able to communicate with my device. Can't even grab a PIT. Obviously, not having Windows means no ODIN. And the one rooting method that did have a Linux script (zergrush over adb) didn't work.
I hope I'm missing something easy! If not I'm kinda hosed. I can't use ODIN to revert to 2.3.5 and I have no way of getting CWM on there.

Good thought. I tried it, and unfortunately after running zergRush I could not remount. This leads me to believe that zergRush doesn't work on 2.3.6 on our phone. Any other suggestions? I wish Heimdall+cwm would work. That's so easy! :-/
Oh well. I guess I'll bring my USB cable to another computer.
