Update from Kies to 2.2.1 will not allow Z4 root to work. I've tried to root via Superone click and Z4 root and neither seem to work. Anyone else run into this issue or find a way to root the phone? I had the phone rooted and unrooted before the update via US Cellular's website.
Same problem here as well!

Same thing here. I have tried rooting my phone after the kies froyo update using all the methods you described that worked flawlessly on eclair 2.1 and now they don't work! I can't even get voodoo lagfix to load with 3-button combo like I had done so many times before. Could Samsung have loaded on a boot locker now like motorola phones??

I used "super one click" and it rooted fine (rageagainstthecage mode). Might want to try that out. This was on the official 2.2 release. You will have to reboot the phone after the program does its thing.

This is what worked for me. z4root doesn't work on rooting EC10.
Download the Samsung USB drivers here if you haven't already.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c..._USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate.msi
Connect your phone to your computer, let it do it's thing. If it asks about the drivers not being verified just click "Continue anyway."
Then grab SuperOneClick from here, unzip it, open SuperOneClick and click Root. Let it do it's thing for a bit, say yes when it asks to test Su then reboot your phone and you're good to go.

One of the things that I found that helped was changing the USB properties on the Mez. I set it to Ask, tried connecting to One-Click, disconnected, then changes the setting to Samsung Keis and reconnected. After that, it was able to root.
Mine rooted with no errors after USCC upgrades on wiped phone. I installed from /download directory on SD.
i was able to root my freshly installed official 2.2 from USCC website by using superoneclick, i used the psneuter root, changed usb settings to ask upon connection, hooked up my phone, clicked root on superoneclick and it rooted with no problem.
I tried to root it and it didnt work... i tried using z4root, universal androot, and superoneclick, nothing worked...
Help me, how do i root it? Im runing out of memory on phone, and i need to root it, so i could send app's to my SD card... or if someone know-s how to move my app's to SD card, without rooting...???
I have Sony Ericsson x10 mini pro (2.1 update 1)
First of all, what firmware version are you running? No good to us saying Android 2.1, cos theres loads of versions.
The last time I rooted, I used SUperOneClick with RAgeAgainstTheCage (which might flag up as a virus - tell your antivirus to go away). Shouldnt take more than about five minutes as far as I can remember.
hi had same prob with mine but did get it to root using superoneclick when you used superoneclick d id you connect your phone to pc and press charge instead of connect

I wrote it...
Firmware version: 2.1 update 1
Thats how it says in my phone info...
Here, i will take a photo of it, to show you...
i have stock 2.3 rom. i want to root.
im doinng like this:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-optimus-3d.html
but phone still doesnt root. superoneclick is waiting for device and nothing.
Are all of your drivers installled for phone?
hey, if you're using the app on that site this WILL NOT work, cause the link there is for old SuperOneClik 1.9.5
To root Optimus 3D with Gingerbread you need to use the newer version of SuperOneClik - v. 2.2
****,i forgot to set on debuging mode.
now its ok delete my topic
Make sure that drivers are properly setup (sorry for repeating, but it is must !) . And check that your phone is detected (may be use Lg mobile update).
Otherwise, with the latest version of superoneclick, it works!
I think to buy me the Smartbook FUN PAD SE to test some development ideas. For this purpose I need to root this device. I have searched the web and havent found a manual for rooting this specific device.
My question is: What rooting methode should i try to root this device (Android 2.2 Froyo) and is the methode of rooting device specific and/or system version specific?
Wow Froyo. A way back when, we used z4root to root froyo. You could try using superoneclick which contains a collection of various rooting exploits. It's not too uncommon for one method to work on a number of devices with the same version (although specific vendors patch those exploits). If it hasn't been rooted in the past though its anyone's guess. It looks like a fairly unmodified version of froyo so I wouldn't be surprised if a known method worked on it.
This device has no usb debug mode, is there another option to root it?

No debug mode setting under settings>Applications>development? well just tick unknown sources under applications and use z4root. Its root in apk format no cabling necessary. just download and run it using your tablets browser. There are several versions of z4root, you may have to try a couple before you get one that works.
so i just rooted my s3 t999 running 4.3 then i read something that kingo root not safe. does anybody know about this? any info would be appreciate, thanks in advance.

kingo root is safe, if it dumbs anything onto your phone just delete them, i have safely rooted a couple cheap phones with it and see no problem.
I can verify this, too. I rooted about 5-6 devices with it, and it did it flawlessly with them all.
What I remember using it with is the Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100 and i9100g) and a Tab 3 and others which I don't remember.
However, all it does is that it installs SuperSU to your device only, and nothing else. One Click Root is also as known as Kingo, but it installs a custom recovery, too, if you choose to.

I never heard about it, but I just googled it and you seem to be right. But I had it rooted for more than 8 months now, and I see no problems at all. I think that it uploads your IMEI code to their servers for 2 reasons. To know what is your device and get the correct rooting files so that it doesn't load your computer with a huge amount of files for devices that you don't have, and the 2nd reason is maybe they keep a counter or something like that of the number of devices rooted using their app. I said I am not sure about this, but I predict these are the reasons. And again, I didn't have any issues at all since I rooted my phone. However, if you just want to feel safe you can use One Click Root.
This is a post by a Forum Moderator speaking about that: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503591&page=5

It's about trust! I don't know which phone/s you own, but for Sony smartphones/phablets there's Flashtool.
Personally, I prefer rooting my phone with Flashtool.
Some of its key features:
- unlock bootloader
- root
- ROM flashing
- kernel flashing
I never tried Kingo and I've heard only bad things about it.
What I used in the past- never experienced any trouble- is Vroot. Just to be sure, I followed these steps:
Install Vroot
Let it download the drivers for your phone
Turn off your Internet Connection
Connect phone
Root it
uninstall Vroot
delete all "leftovers"
It won't work with Kingo. Kingo wants you to stay connected to the Internet for some odd reasons. I'm paranoid, so I would never recommend it! What if it sends your phone's IMEI, ID, number to their servers?
Again, it's all about trust!

How do you know it doesn't send your sensitive info to there servers before you turn off your internet connection? ??

I guess it depends on what you consider "safe".
I used KingoRoot to root my tablet, and after it was done, I found under Developer Options, Process, these KingoRoot background apps ...
SuperUser (ads.process)
SuperUser
Its the first one, that fits my definition of "unsafe".
I know this thread is old but I thought I'd add more warnings to Kingoroot.
I just tried to root my phone using Kingoroot. The apk installed and root just fine on Android 4.x.x. and it does require internet connection. It doesnt tell u what it uses it for.
Any ways, I tried to use Kingoroot again on Android 7.x.x and the apk failed the root so I downloaded the PC rooting program from their site. Low and behold, it downloaded a bunch of malwares and virus as bundle.
Long story short, stay far far away from Kingoroot.
KingoRoot update 2018
So installing the Kingoroot Android for PC on my laptop = loads of ****e installed on laptop
Running kingoroot and connecting phone = failed root & loads of ****e installed on phone.
So NO. This software only installs crapware, and does not root android LG phones
(tried with 3 phones - silly me!!)
PROOF AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
(wankers)
Thanks for your suggestion, will leave away from it.
Can Kingoroot be made "safe"?
I've read plenty of sketchy stuff about Kingoroot. Even so, suppose you use a phone that has no SIM card, that has no Gmail (or a fake Gmail) account attached to it. If Kingoroot would root such a phone, couldn't you get root with it then install TWRP, use TWRP to completely wipe the device, then either reinstall rooted stock or a custom ROM?

Sure I have, and you can expect this to be common practice on every corner. That's just the reality of today's big data collection. So I wouldn't exactly call the root "unsafe" based on that.

Sorry, which craps installed on your laptop?
And on the phone?
Currently I didn't see nothing suspicious, so if you give me the name of the crap installed I can search on my devices.
Thanks bro!
