My friend has a vibrant and he wants it rooted. I have a Droid X and its rooted using z4root. Can I root his phone using z4root. I know tha Galaxy S devices are compatible with z4root but I was wondering if it was safe since he has the OTA 2.2 update from T-Mobile/Samsung. Which took for ever to get on his phone.
Thanks
Since he has the official 2.2, there is a way to root but it would have been easier from 2.1. You can search the forums for the instructions, or you can do what I have done for a couple of people, and odin back to ji6 (2.1). And then use one click root in the dev section.All of that really only takes about 20 minutes. Just my opinion.
Odin to stock, Flash Ji6 Update to 2.2 and root with latest oneclick, get all this in the sitckies
So I can't use z4root even though its for galaxy s devices and 2.2 devices

No that probably you can but I don not know if they have updated for the 2.2 and why take the risk, Rooting is rooting doesn't matter which method you use......so it is prudent to use one that is safe and known to work.
No, I don't think that z4root will work in the official 2.2
ota 2.2? maybe you meant kies..
I meant kies. Which was a,huge pain.,

Hey guys, running 2.1 and Ryan's OCLF.. Patiently waiting for Froyo.. Question is, I know I should remove the OCLF and unroot the device..
- Once its removed from the phone, can I just do the OTA update or thru kies and hop on to froyo? Or should I do a reset of the phone?
-Once I do have froyo, is it necessary to have the OCLF mod back on? Is it even possible to OCLF a froyo?
Thanks for any help
You can uninstall and reinstall rooting and OCLF all you want. Just make sure you don't have OCLF installed when doing the OTA Froyo update. But why wait? Just flash to a leaked Froyo like I did. And you can reinstall the OCLF with Froyo once you do. Anymore question pm me! Enjoy!

Yeah flash Axura I was scared of doing it week ago but I did it yesterday and I will never look back.
The official froyo probably wont be as good as the custom ones anyways haha

I've upgraded my samsung vibrant to 2.2 froyo through kies and got a root for it with super one click but one click lag fix does not work for it and I can't find any other lag fixes. Can anyone tell me how to lagfix my phone again?
Download voodoo lagfix and pick the one that works on your phone, there's a thread about it somewhere in the development section
Ok I'll give it a try

My cousin is in town and I'm trying to help her unbloat her Fascinate. I've got a Captivate and have used TGA_Gunnman's OneClickRoot to root my phone - Has anyone tried this on the Fascinate.
Supposedly the OCR is for all Samsung Galaxy S models.
Thanks
Depends one what baseband they are on. Ea28 is hard to root I hear. Never herd of your root methid being done on the fascinate. On android central, there is an all in one odin pack that gets pushed in the pda section that uses sc2.6, is prerooted and has the new cwr already on it. Maybe that will help...

This would be best for DI01, DL05, DL09 baseband as said above. Some indicate it works for EA28, while others say it causes problem.
I'm trying to just root the phone for now to do some testing while she's in town - I don't want to leave the phone rooted or load a ROM just yet.
The advantage to OCR (if it works for Fascinate) is that I can root/unroot with a single click - Very easy compared to other methods. No ADB/Terminal commands at all needed.
Just checked, and her phone is an EA28.
If your tryin to root and then unroot, try adryns all in one odin pqck for di01. Then root using z4 if you want. Then reflash the all in one pack for di01 in odin and it will unroot it for ya....

Well, I don't want to flash the phone at all yet; even back to stock. I'm just testing a few things but don't want to change anything permanently on the phone quite yet.

does anyone still have the update.zip root for 2.1? I just got this phone, and would lovee to have
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If you have a GT-I9100 that would be a galaxy S 2, not this phone. Considering you are asking for 2.1 though mayber you do have this phone. In any case, 2.1 is outdated and there are upgrades to 2.2 and 2.3. You should upgrade to those versions as apps are now built for at minimum 2.2+.
If you choose to use a custom upgrade from the devs here, your ROM will come pre-rooted so you won't have to worry about rooting it yourself.
