help, ive tried to root so many times using the superoneclick rooting method, and i dont know why it isnt working, im usb debugging, and everytime, the program stops at waiting for device and then stops responding, i have to force close it cuz it stops responding. Ive looked at the forums but theres too many, and very little for the vibrant, ive tried what they say but come out with an phone not rooted. Can someone give me detailed information about what to do, and not just give me a link to a forum ive probably already read.
Do you have a android 3e recovery? Or you can't root straight up because I rooted fine with superoneclick root even after the 2.2 upgrade

ok cool sounds good
*Download SuperOneClick root on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
*Run SuperOneClick Root (remember to enable usb debugging)
*Download the files on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
*Put both of the files found on step 3 in the root (not in any folders) of you INTERNAL sd card.
*Download root explorer on the market .
*Copy the recovery found in the 3e_recovery_installer.zip* in system/bin
*Copy the keys file found in the res into the efs file
*Run shell root on SuperOneClick
*Now enter the 3e_recovery_installer.zip on your computer and run the bat file found in there
*Go download Rom Manager in the market, flash clockwork recovery, and Reinstall Packages in recovery you may have to do this more than once

Officially, youre stuck on 2.1
Try uninstalling xrecovery then reinstall. Or just reflash using SEUS and format the whole phone if youre afraid of a boot loop. You gotta reroot and stuff. Custom rom-wise, quite a choice we have.

did you go into estrong or Root explorer, change it to writable, then cut and paste appropriate xrecovery files into appropriate folders? needs to be done to use xrecovery.

I thought the auto install of the xrecovery.apk was sufficient? I didnt do any manual copy of files and my X10 is ok. Is it a thing for certain phones or something?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Owner of post,
Do you have the latest busybox from the market? That helps with the xrecovery installation.
yes i do have most recent busybox
This might sound weird but download "root checker" from market to make sure u have root and busybox. Ur phone be able to install xrecovery if u have the latest busybox and your rooted correctly. Something sounds weird here. Lets make this step a make sure step.
When pressing back button, to activate xrecovery, i press it the second i see the sony ericsson logo and i keep pressing till i see it boot to xreovery.
when u installed xrecovery through the Apk. From the forums of xda, did u press the new xrecovery button in your apps and follow the directions from there?
I hope this helps.

use gingerbreak
got root and custom recover without PC
Use the Gingerbreak app to get root without a PC. I have just finished doing this.
I sent the link to myself in email from my desktop browser then downloaded with the Optimus to my /sdcard/download directory. I then installed the file using Explorer from the Market. Then just click and the Gingerbreak installs the root with the "su" program and the Superuser app. Then you can install a Busybox and Terminal from the Google Market. Check if you can be root.
I then flashed a custom AmonRa recovery without a PC for RA-thunderg-1.2.0-GNM by sending the link to myself in email and downloading to my /sdcard/download directory. I then used the busybox programs "md5sum" and "unzip" with the AmonRa zip:
Code:
cd /sdcard/download/
md5sum amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip
unzip amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip -d /sdcard/
cd ..
su
sh ./rf.sh
I hope I remembered everything. I do have root now and AmonRa recovery without a PC so that is possible. After all that, I just got the "adb" working in Linux by adding the IDs to the udev config. Of course, I could have used USB file transfer to the Optimus instead of using the email except my phone was sitting in my truck at the time. Look here for more information:

Need more info... Did you get the .zip files?
Did you put them on your SD card?
Did you unzip them first?
I have the 3 files in zip and unzipped on the root of my SD but I haven't even got to that part yet I can't get the cf3d driver to install it says can't write to /system

It's been a while since I used an sd install, but I remember having to remount the sd as writable for some stuff. There are some apps to do this, including Remount RW (i think it's called) and File Explorer/Root Explorer.
Have u seen any tutorial on it or is it pretty easy to do I have file explorer and can get root explorer/ or remount

You should have 3 zip files, if you unzipped those, it won't work.
Are you running Android off the SD card?
In that case, transfer the files over usb. If you are running android off the uSD, android labels one partition of your uSD as "sd card" and CF3D may only be looking in that partition. Transferring the files over usb will put them in the appropriate partition.
OK I got root explore and was able to install the cf3d driver so I will erase the three already unzipped and use the zipped ones thanks for ur help

I have the same problem with my Incredible S. I cannot install drivers (NOT plugins). After the installation Chainfire asks to install drivers. I tried both CWM 3+ and simple options - but it doesn't work. The smartphone's stuck and after manual reboot Chainfire asks to install drivers again.
Could you please explain how you managed to install drivers with root explorer?
Open root explorer then click on /system then mount r/w after that try to install the driver again

For some that are having issues with write permissions for chainfire. Try updating Busybox and see if that helps. It worked for me when I was having the same issues from

Why don't you install one from play store?es file manager will do you fine...

Hey there! About 2 months ago I first rooted my HTC Legend and unlocked my bootloader and ugraded it to hboot 1.02
I installed cyanogenmod 7.2 and all worked great. I have CWM 5.0.2.8 installed too. And supertool worked for me (zergling rushes commenced . I was also able to use eclipse for android to view my root files via the computer.
Well I cant do this anymore. I can only see my root files via the phone using Root Explorer Lite which I downloaded from the play store.
And supertool is giving me errors of read-only file system (see attached screenshot) and says pushing Superuser.apk, so it appears on my phone, I also opened it but I don't know what im supposed to do in there??
I just want to be able to access my root files via my computer. do I have to use eclipse or is there another program? what am I doing wrong here?
ATM im using a workaround where I copy files to my SD card and then using Root Explorer Lite I copy for instance ringtones to the system/media/audio/ringtones folder and that works. But I need a simpler method like drag and dropping files into this folder via my computer. How can I do this?
Thanks for you help!
You can try qtadb.

Curious as to actually know the need to use supertools when your already using a rooted rom?
I am so sure supertools was only needed to root a non rooted Rom, perhaps supertools stuffed it up....
Have you simply tried just using adb commands from cmd?
Perhaps your issue is the pc itself.
Maybe first is to try this:
Adb devices (proves phone and pc are connected).
Adb shell
Then type "su"
Then type "ls" (this gives file listing on device)
This is assuming you know anything about windows cmd, Adb and stuff like that.
Just some basics to get you started in trying to diagnose.
Hey, why not try restoring a nandroid backup you did earlier, you did do a backup yeah?

thanks this actually worked! i dont even know how/why but it did
i tried other programs like Droid Explorer or Android Commander but it didnt let me copy files to system/media/ or wutever. and it would say my phone isnt rooted.
i tried the cmd promt as ranger said with adb shell
i did the su and ls thing and it works (displays dir/files list) but thats not the problem, the problem is when i type something like this:
chmod 777 media/
and it says it cant change permissions cuz its read-only file system, the same reason supertool didnt want to work. i wan my zergling rush!!!
seriously this is weird
