althou searching would help, ATT has disallowed the install of non-market apps. you need to be rooted with sideloading enabled.

So I got it rooted, but how do you enable sideloading? I still can't install anything from my sd card. I know sideload wonder machine works, but I have some apps backed up with titanium backup and would like to be able to restore on the inspire.

If you're using a rooted stock ROM this option won't be there, you'll need to use SideLoadWonder machine. Other ROMs have the option to allow non market apps in settings (i'm using Revolution and it's there)

Rooting means voiding your warranty.
I don't think you can screw if you follow instruction step by step. This is my first android phone but learning curve was just a few hours.
Revoultion ROM does have the option of non market apps.

[I9003][Guide]How to completely un-root your I9003.

So, I realised there was guides on how to root our phone but not one on how to un-root(completely).
Here it goes.
1)Your phone must be rooted.
2)Download Z4Root(Note that you should never root your phone with z4root)from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
3)Install Z4Root on your device.
4)Download SuperOneClick from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
5)Settings>Applications>Check Unknown Sources(In your phone)
6)Settings>Applications>Development>Check USB Debugging
7)Open SuperOneClick(Make sure that you have all of your device's drivers installed on your pc)
8)Click 'Driver Check'(Just to make sure there is no issues with your drivers.)
9)Open Z4Root and click un-root.(On your phone)
10)Connect your phone to your pc.
11)In superoneclick, click un-root.(Ignore if it says you do not have superuser at the end)
12)Unplug your phone from the pc.
13)DONE!!
Optional: You may install a app from the market called root checker(Free) to check that your phone is completely unrooted.
The main purpose of me posting this guide is because if you just un-root your device from superoneclick, it will only uninstall root and not busybox(also known as incomplete un-root). This guide will help you completely unroot your device(Uninstall both root access and busybox).
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone but will help you with all my knowledge.
You may post any enquiries below or any other thing you would like to see in the future.
Hit the 'Thanks' button if I have helped you out.

U can also do this by super one afaik.

Great guide and you deserve your first thanks although I haven't tested it..

@jcbalunsat
Did you read the whole post? Un-rooting with super one click would only remove root access but not busybox.

Thanks ephraim033.

Can someone kindly please test if this works. The so far I only tested this on 7 devices. It worked though.

Talking about Gingerbread, how will one root it?
SuperOneClick is not working for me.
So for me cwm or cf-root is the saviour.
So if I use cwm or cfroot, then I will probably remove root via cwm.

pls no unroot in z4root coz i cant find it

it works great but :good::good:,, it doesnt remove cwm and tweaks..??
how to remove them both.?

Possible to root without a PC?

Hello XDA!,
How would I go about rooting my Infuse without a computer? I have no access to a PC or a Mac. Anyone who can develop could possibly make a z4root like app with a root.sh that works for the infuse? Someone please respond.

From my limited experience:
If you want to root GB 2.3.6, you need to get it into download mode and bypass Samsung Secured factory recovery and flash an insecure kernel.
Mobile Odin is not available for this device.

You can just download the stock rooted version. Is way easier and you won't have problems.

I've tried myself and I ended up saying that I have something modded or something from the ota download. I finish downloading the ota for sense 5.5 and I've tried to lock the hboot and unlocked. Same results no matter what. I think it's the missing apps. The calculator and some others. Just download the stock rooted. You'll end up rooting the phone anyways. What is the point of that?

I think both of those have been confirmed not to work. Isn't vroot questionable?

dumb question- has anyone tried Kingo?
it was questionable, but now isn't, blah blah blah... I've got quite a few devices rooted with Kingo, still haven't had my identity stolen.
regarding CF autoroot, I was under the impression that it didn't work with our locked bootloader, even going back to the "good ol days" of MDL.

I have tried kingo, vroot, oneclickroot, saferoot, and srsroot. None of these work

No he just threw those out. They haven't been tested yet.

Cf auto Root works by flashing a temp recovery not possible on this locked down pos. I tried Kingo it trys every exploit in the book then also trys to flash recovery.

I give serious thank you to whoever gets a root method going. I took the OTA.... and like a idiot didn't defrost some things I had frozen. So the OTA removes my root but kept my apps frozen. There are a few apps that I have frozen that I would like to have back.... so im waiting patiently lol. Cant wait!!! thanks for all the hard work people put into these things! really!

You can also just go to app manager swipe to the far right to disabled apps and re enable the apps you want. I have re enabled apps disabled by titanium this way.
There is one app disabler that disables apps in a way that doesn't remove them and they cannot be restored this way. I forget the name of it. So beware there are some apps outside titanium this may not work for. If I find the one I used I will post the name.

Its not really Samsung's fault, its AT&T's for locking the bootloader. Samsung makes a great product IMHO.
