Hi,
I've just flashed my Vibrant to stock Froyo and now I want to root it. I'm trying Z4root and it just says "atempting to root device" for a long long time. Is there another app that does that? I've tried z4root (which worked wonders with eclair) but it doen's seem to work. I've tried SuperOneClick and it tells me it has been rooted but when I try to run the one click lag fix the option to fix the lag is not available.
cheers

Usually, i use z4root to root my x10. Its very easy and fast
But since yesterday, I messed up my phone and all those apps gone in the menu, but the memory is still there
So i decided to restore with SEUS
i updated to a newer software
after that, z4root no longer working
SuperOneClick v1.5.5 also not working as well
Can anybody tell me any solution or ways to root the phone?
Thanks

You've updated to a new ROM which, until now, is unrootable. However, you can flash the previous ROM, re-root it and then flash zdzihu's pre-rooted ROM along with JiT.
It's all here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883890.
Galaxy S Vibrant had it rooted with 2.1 but now that i have updated to 2.2 wont work. Tried uninstalling Z4mod(RyanZa) installed Astro and reinstalled z4mod (had to use astro to install non store app) Z4mod installed and will open but it gets stuck each time i try to run the perm root. I'm a total noob only rooted originally with the help of my little brother. Problem is the phone is sooooo slow now i can hardly stand it. It needs to be faster liked it better before.
If there is no fix for this how to I go back to the 2.1 so i can re root.
Debugger is checked
error message i get says
"the appllication z4root ( process com.z4mod.z4root) has stopped unexpectedly"
Plug in your USB cable . If you read the debug option it says "Debug mode when USB is connected" . So plug in the USB then run z4root .
If you get stuck, Odin back to stock, then root> then flash any rom you want. In the future use Superoneclick to root, it has less problems.

Previously rooted with out using a computer, was hopping that I could do it the same way.
I have never used odin and i have never flashed my rom....just a noob with a phone that used to be faster...
Please elaborate on flashing a rom i want to learn more i have seen some stuff but really am just a bit scared to try it myself
should i uninstall z4root and try superoneclick instead... as of now phone is just stock with z4root installed but not working.
Try superoneclick

I have an LG Optimus One ( LGP500 ) running 2.2 and I rooted it using the z4root tool, version 1.0. From what I saw, back then it didn't have an unroot option. In the meantime, I did an update using the LG Mobile Tool, and I think it updated my system to 2.2.2 .
I noticed that the newer versions of z4root have an unroot option, so I upgraded my z4root from 1.0 to 1.3, to try to unroot the phone ... but I only see the Temporary root and Permanent root options. I tried pressing the Permanent root and it seemed to do something, after which it returned me to my Home. From this, I'm drawing the conclusion that rerooting did not work. I am assuming z4root needs to root, so that the unroot option is available.
Is there anyway I could unroot my phone now?

since you have updated to 2.2.2 therfore z4root wont work on it .it requires version 2.2 to root u can go back to the 2.2 rom and then try z4root

I recently updated my phone to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini on my PC. After updating I attempted to re-root with Z4ROOT and after a few random vibrations it closed out the the app... So I have two questions...
1) Can you still root a v2.2 Samsung Vibrant (U.S.) with Z4ROOT?
2) Also I have Clockworkmod on my phone, will that still work properly without root on my phone?
Most probably z4root won't work.
Use super one click.
cwm needs root.
Thanks. Also after updating, my phone seems to be lagging more then usual. Is this a result of updating with clockworkmod on the phone?
Means you flashed cwm after update? And now your phone seems to lag!
I don't know, I updated to froyo and also have cwm but I don't get any lag.
I don't think any custom recovery must cause a phone to lag.
You must try auto task killers, there are many in market, maybe they help.
just odin back to stock fixes almost everything.

No, Z4root does not work, I have tried it.
But yes, if you can get into cwm, you do not need root to flash anything with it. I have flashed files without root through cwm, so that is how I know.
ok so my friend has a Virgin Mobile Optimus V now i see 2 options for Root
ADB
and
Gingerbreak
the phone has stock 2.2.1 so i'm going to make the assumption gingerbreak is a no go as it states Gingerbread only.
so does that leave me with the ADB shell option only? I truly hate adb so i have to ask.
seems alot more troublesome then rooting my Vibrant which only took an update.zip file to root/CWR install >.<
well if anyone can let me know if gingerbreak works on 2.2.1 lemme know.
Sorry. It does not work. I have LG Optimus V with Froyo 2.2.1. I tried using the Gingerbreak, to root the phone. While using the Gingerbreak is effortless to use, I could not break through. I did not know that Gingerbreak does not work on Android 2.2.1. That explains the fact that I was not successful.
I have also postponed using the other option as that is quite involved. However, I will get around to doing it one of these days.
I used that gingerbreak on a LG Optimistic V, I have root access and have titanium backup working. This phone was purchased just last week. And I just looked at the version it reads 2.2.1. So that is all it did for me.
Is it supposed to change to 2.3.4 if it worked?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
gingerbreak is just to root. you need a custom recovery to upgrade to 2.3.
as far as gingerbreak not working, it takes a bunch of tries sometimes. it should work on 2.2.1
you might need to use the stock sd card that comes with the phone to get gingerbreak to work, I've read.
Help with Gingerbreak
I got the gingerbreak apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 for my lg optimus v 2.2.2 downloaded it, turned on usb debugging and install non market apps, I ran the downloaded file and it started to install but was taking forever, so I exited out of it. everything has been screwed up since then... i uninstalled it and tried to redownload it from the same place and I cant do it. just keeps saying download unsuccessful, but i can download anything else... I dont have any network problems has installing it halfway ****ed everything up?
