Super one click root.
Search on google, first link it comes to xda.
Use that. You need to have a computer though..
All you do is enable usb debugging connect usb click root it pushes update.zip to your phone
Then it installs super user app on your phone.
Then click test or something and on your phone superuser should ask for permissions
Z4root app
Simple..install the apk and root straight from your phone without need of usin usb and that

So i said factory reset will work bro, if you reset the phone that wiill make it work

SuperOneClick works, but it was also the exploit in all those bad apps Google pulled and your pc will think it's a virus.
If you use the ALT METHOD in the noob guide you can have a leaked froyo+root, and then flash a custom rom or stock froyo + root.

Go to Settings-> Applications and make sure you enable Unknown Sources. Then go to Development and make sure USB debugging is checked. Reconnect the phone via USB then check the flashtool again, Root button should be available after that.
Let me know what happens.
Alright thank you 10000 for everything dude you are awesome +1 when I grab my pc for sure!

There is an app called z4root that used to be on the market and it might still. You could try that.

Download biffmod and then the update file from clockwork recovery. Do the three button trick to get into recovery mode and hit reinstall packages. From there you can flash the rom.

Your better off going back to 2.1 and gain root access that way. But that's just me

Bin4ry has developed a script to root any ICS and above device. Search for it.
Thanks for your help but didn't work.keeps saying remote device not detected. I tried it a few different ways even though it does say it is done but when I check it isn't. busy box and superuser are installed but still no root.
