The thing is rooted ..there shouldnt be questions about this...but try an app that needs root access and se if superuser pops up asking to allow

Download an app like titanium backup and see if a pop up for superuser comes up. Or download a terminal app and type su. If you get a # you are rooted.
There should be an app in your app drawer called "Superuser"....
If you got that then you're rooted
Thank you guys. I have rooted my Vibrant with one click and it works yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really. He could have that App downloaded from the market but since he doesn't have root he wouldn't be able to run it. But it would still be there.
get app from market... Root Checker... i rooted with Superoneclick and it said I was rooted, but really wasn't, took a dozen reboots and 4 more tries with Superoneclick to get it.
If you don't have an app called SUPERUSER! your not rooted!!
yeah I usually look to see if the app "superuser" is installed...

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 .

I already install the superuser app, do i need to configure something else ?
Superuser will prompt you when it's needs root access for something (i.e. using a application requiring root) and you will have the option to allow or deny this access. You shouldn't need to configure the application itself unless you just want to change some basic settings. Hope it helps!

Give Titanium Backup a try. It needs root and can backup your apps+data. A must have tool.

I rooted my phone way back when using one click root and I have superuser installed but never had any custom roms. Every time I use root check it does not confirm if I am rooted or not and keeps checking for what seams like an eternity. Am I missing something? Please help, I am trying to back up my current stock rom and can't get by. Thank you in advance...

Ways to get confirmed:
1. Use root checker from market.
2. Install terminal Emulator and run command su
$ su

If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..
3. To get rooted.. Universal Androot for 2.1 - 2.3 devices.
Sorry I dont have the above mentioned files but you can have those with a little Googling.
Also you haven't mentioned your device, on which you are performing XperiMents

I guess, If its Photon4g, then go for Photon Torpedo method, and confirm the root with above.
Thanks for the reply. Every time I use root checker I just runs forever and never stops checking. But I used the cmd prompt su and and the cmd line changes from a $ to a # so that means I am rooted. I been trying to perform a nandroid back up with rom manager and I keep getting a Failed to Boot 2 message every time, any ideas?

yeah. don't ever ever ever use rom manager. it's junk and doesn't work. do not use it or its recoveries. use jokers v3 or photon3 or another confirmed working recovery. NEVER USE ROM MANAGER.
Ok it's a lot to go through, but I'm going to see what I can get.

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

Hi guys. I apologise if I put this in the wrong section. So I want to know if I am able to root my note lte (gt-n7005) without the computer? Is there a software or an app where I can install superuser and root my Android without the computer?
Any answers would be appreciated

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.

Is this a bug ? Or is my phone going nuts
Without a special kernel you can't use any root app that attempts to edit /system.

Root Checker is a nice little (free) app...sometimes helps when in question so then your energy can be spent elsewhere finding solutions, I know there are other apps as well that do the same thing....
