[Q] Can Z4root be used, though its been removed?

I was looking to root my tab, but have seen here on the forums that Z4root has been removed from the Market. I located it and downloaded it to my Tab, but I need to know if I can use it on my tab. I have US Sprint Version on 2.2. I read that this new firmware prevents you from using Z4root. Is that true? This seemed like the simplest method. If Z4root cannot be used, is there another method that is simple like this one, that will work for 2.2?

I have a TMO Tab and Z4root worked just fine in Permanent mode.

So the method works?

So the method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 works? How will I know if it's permanent or temporary?

I believe all SGT are 2.2. But yes, I'm on Froyo.
Install
Run it
Select Permanent
Reboot

Rooting a device gives you complete access to the system files and normally unwriteable areas so that you can make modifications that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do. This has very little to do with carrier unlocking, which is what you're looking to obtain.
To carrier unlock, check out this thread.

After I did an update, z4root no longer worked for me. I used Super one click to root my Tab. Is the latest z4root updated? Can someone post a link?

OMG! I totally messed it up... [:'(] can anyboby please help me??

i am using HCL me G1 Tab (Android 4.0.4 ), Kernel: 3.0.8+.Recovery System 4[3e]. this is my 1st android device, bought it 1 week ago. I am new in Android World.....
I installed Superuser.apk (v3.1.3) [using normal apk installation method]..... Then I got root access in FX File explorer and Titanium backup... Today I found another SUPERUSER.zip (v3.2 signed)..
I tried to flash it from recovery but didn't work... So I just extracted zip files in following folders and replaced the previous ones:
1st mistake, i just copied superuser.apk to /system/app folder [using FX explorer]
2nd, replaced 'su' in /system/bin with the new one.
3rd, copied contents from xbin folder to /system/xbin
Done! and now Superuser not working......
Now u guys can feel what i've done.... just messed up every thing.. Superuser.apk has become a system app, so i can't remove it.. can't delete it because I lost root access in FX explorer. su command not working, because doesn't have permissions... Titanium backup not working... etc.. :crying:
i have some other problems [before all these happened]... after installing andriod sdk and adb drivers, adb commands don't find my device. so i can,t push 'su' again into device.. SuperOneClick stop responding after *daemon started successfully*....
can't install SuperUser in recovery mode.. coz i always get the error:
-- Install /mnt/external_sd ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Can anybody please help me??? I know its my mistake but still i hope for some help from u guys... Please tell me what to do now [when nothing is working]....
thanks in advance..

Can you just re-flash your ROM ? I can't promise you it will work, but if you just clear caches and /system, then you shouldn't lose anything on the internal memory and can start over.

This is a 99 percent total shot in the dark.
I know your new to the Android world Keep this in mind for the future with all android apps "if it works don't f*** with it."

Its pretty simple, just reflash ur phone or simply try to restore it, every android device has an emergency downlod mode, if u can figure out urs, u can simply connect your phone to the pc in edm and input ur imei code or serial number, and abt 45 mins on a 150kB/s speed you will have your device back to normal

[Q] Frustrated looking to Root Samsung GT- I5800 Froyo 2.2

Hi
Ok I know this is an old phone but I hope someone can help .
I've been hunting the forums for an easy way to root my Samsung GT-I5800 running Froyo 2.2.
There's lots of advice on the forums but they are old threads and the links they give to the suggested appllications such as :
Superonclick . z4root , etc don't work or the files are currupt.
I have used Superoneclick on a later samsung phone and it mad the job really easy but the version I have won't work with this phone / android version.
Maybe is some one has a the z4root files they could upload them , or any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've tried two versions of Superoneclick v1.7.00 and 2.3.3.0 and neither work for me.

If you have a link to another version of Superoneclick I'll try that ?

Hi
Thanks . I had seen this YouTube video, the links to superoneclick no longer work.
In fact the two links direct form the shortfuse website no longer link to the file.

Well im not sure then. Im pretty sure z4root messes up something, and it may be you need to flash a custom rom in odin. Sorry but I cant try anything myself because I dont have the phone anymore (at least for a while).

Rather than rooting it is best to install a prerooted custom ROM via odin.

Hi
I looked for Odin on the market and it seem that Odin required root , so wouldn't I need root to use it ?
If not can you suggest a suitable custom rom ?

Odin does not require root. You have to get into download mode with a combination of keys. (May be Mobile Odin requires root, I never used it).
Check this thread for Custom roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591. I would suggest PuruKisadHybrid custom ROM.
Refer to this thread for how to use odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
You need to install samsung drivers first.

Hi
Thanks for the information and links.
I was hoping to be able to root without wiping data but I will consider this method.
The odin tutorial was a bit hard to understand but I'll try watching carefully and it may become clear.

you can root without wiping data. Just search for rooting procedure in the forum. But custom ROM gives lot more features for you than stock one.

Hi i had this version of superoneclick 1.7.00 but it worked fine. Make sure u have turned on usb debugging and installed the drivers.Also in case of exploit use rageagainstthecage exploit and not psneuter.
And for drivers consider installing these http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

I haven't been able to find a non- data wipe method as varioius versions of superoneclick and other tools aren't working for me on this phone.
Perhaps I'll go down the custom rom route ,
If I can find some good clear instructions .
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately this one isn't working ether
Generating an excetion which ever exploit option is selected.
I wonder if it is an issue with the phone rather than the tool .
It has allready been hard reset to factory state ?

Has the driver been installed? Which OS you are using?
You need to install proper driver before trying to root. For your info, essentially all rooting methods are non-data wipe.

WHAT? This device has no separate recovery partition, neither CF-ROOT Kernel. This is not Galaxy S or S3
z4Root should work on 2.1, for 2.2 the easiest way is to use custom kernel, with it you get custom recovery and via that recovery you can flash some zip with su binary and then get Superuser/SuperSU app. SuperOneClick is buggy with G3.

[Q] [HELP] GSmart Arty A3 Rooting

I just bought this phone and it proves unrootable. Any help in allowing root on this model would be greatly appreciated.
Already tried with vroot, doesn't work since phone restarts again and again until I disconnect USB
I need root for low - scalle modding it for my taste and deleting unnecesarry bloatware.
Anyone with any advice, help or guide, please help
Regards

Its very simple..just go shuame.com.
Then ckick green android logo ..and download the app..run it on your device ..it should work..But im not shure..

shuame.com not do it.

It would be great if we could ask some senior member to see what's needed for this model to be rooted. It's relatively new device and it isn't unrootable, just no one with enough knowledge of rooting didn't get it yet....I hope root method will appear soon...and this thread won't die...
EDIT:
Rooted with vroot.apk
googled it, d-led, installed and it worked
used it for debloating my phone and then deleted, because AFAIK it's not safe and is treated as malware
so if you need workaround and root for this model just google this apk and use it

If you are still in urge of root go to shuame.com, dload an chineese apk, install, run, click something with ROOT written amongst some chineese letters, when it's done in your app drawer will appear an app called Kinguser, then you delete chineese app dloaded from this site, reboot your phone and yor Arty is rooted!
*NOTE* you go with your android on shuame.com, not from your PC! Very important step?!

Yeah, all i did was google apk kingroot.
Make sure you have usb debugging enabled and download from unknown sources enabled
Once you have apk kingroot download found click download for android (or whatever your appropriate decive is) and download the file. Once dow loaded, run it and just follow the in-app instructions. . Thats how i got mine to work.
