How do i root my vibrant with 2.2. I had 2.1 rooted but the update.zip i used to root with won't work.

use odin to 2.1, then root with update.zip
use odin to flash something with root already
use the methods to root stock 2.2 on this page (search)

Just woundering is there a way to root a vibrant 2.2 without using a computer such as directly from within a file manager like a one click root type?

I'm pretty certain you can do the super one click root from vibrant 2.2 but that still requires a computer

Thanks to everyone. Superoneclick worked like a charm.

[Q] Rooting 2.2

I just recently updated to Froyo 2.2 (KA6) using Kies Mini. I have searched around on how to root the 2.2, but to no avail. I have tried using SuperOneClick v1.7 and it seems to not work when I try it.
Could anyone please refer me to a link on how to successfully root my phone or you can just show me how to do it here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Just downgrade to 2.1 with odin then use Z4 root then flash rom that is 2.2 and ur good I recommend trigger amazing speed with better battery life then bionix in my opinion

I'm not familiar with Odin. Where can i download it and where to look for instructions for it?
You can use a pc app called super one click, i used it to root my vibrant after updating through kies. You can find it in the vibrant app and themes section.

I've tried using SuperOneClick but every time i run it, it says no space is available when it's trying to copy some files like busybox. Any idea on how to go about with this?
All the info you need is in the Noob Guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028

I've finally got my phone rooted. Thanks for the response guys!
Now on to finding a rom/kernel that has a long battery life, smooth, and gps works. Any recommendations?
Great. Sorry for the late reply but I just saw your pm, anyway glad you got it up and running.
I recommend trigger or the new 2.2.1 Bi-Winning Rom. I've used both of them and TBH the latter is simply the best Rom I've ever ran on my vibrant. Extremely snappy and very smooth.
I never had a problem rooting before but now I cant get super one click to work. I have all drivers installed but when I try to get shell root to get 3e recovery super one click freezes at waiting for device. I rooted using the update.zip format.
SuperOneClick v1.5 worked for me. Froyo 2.2, KA5.

[Q] ROOTED, but says it's not... WTF?!

Stock 2.2 Long story short, I rooted my Vibrant. Says it rooted, everything's fine. BUT
Busybox says it's not rooted, superuser is there.
Everything acts like it's rooted otherwise except ROM Manger doesn't ask for permission but won't boot into recovery.
Tried custom 3e recovery installer. When I try to reinstall packages it never goes into CWM recovery.
WTF?!?!
I don't think you can root 2.2. I have always found the best way is to Odin back to 2.1 and then use super one click root. Then install your customs roms or whatever from there.

You can root 2.2 I did it but did you power down your phone after root... it needs to reboot as far as cwm you cant use it on 2.2... 3e is cool but alot of people have problems with it... Odin to stock 2.1 its easier...

How did you get it to work? I am having the same problems as you described.
run superoneclick and reboot phone afterwards. You must reboot for it to work.

Rooting after stock update

I had rooted on stock ka6 using one click super user. Recently I updated to kb5 stock using kies.
But looks like I lost the root privileges, though I've superuser app in applications. I've uninstalled
Superuser and tried rooting using one click superuser, but could not as one click application failed.
Any inputs on how to get the root.

You could follow the going back to stock guide, then flash a new rom. Takes an hour tops.
Use superoneclickroot v1.9.x.

**You might have to install busybox separately because it doesn't install properly at times.**
Thanks man it worked.

Superuser does not root your phone . In fact your phone must be rooted to install Superuser from the market . Just download Z4root and put the Z4root.apk on your phone then install it .

root my phone. HELPPPPPP!
I'm new at this rooting stuff, but I've been all over Google & YouTube I have not found a root that works on my phone. I don't have a USB cord so I'm having to root it by my phone. I have an at&t huawei u8800-51 its running on 2.2.2, I've tried to z4root but I read it won't work with 2.2.2 I've tried and no use, I also tried gingerbreak & I went through the process but it just keeps rooting for like ever. I don't know what to do. I've been trying for days at this. If someone could help me, I will love you forever! Ugh.
