[Q] Root question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed my vibrant with a 2.2 Froyo ROM from this site using ODIN. It works. Now, I would like to root my phone. I don't believe the ROM had root included. My question is this. Can I root my phone with super one click after the flash of 2.2? Also, can I use ODIN to do this?
I searched but couldn't find a ROM with 2.2 + root that works with ODIN. Can anyone provide a link?
Thanks

the noob guide has an ALT VERSION which is a leaked froyo that has root and a recovery... it's done via ODIN.
I use it, and then flash a custom 2.2 rom.

You can simply use 'SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse' from 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682', this will very easily root your Vibrant. To use this, you will need to enable USB debugging and connect the phone to your pc/laptop.

Thanks for the replies!
So I can use Super One Click after I have flashed my phone with 2.2?

Hey man thanks for the reply! idk I still can't locate that leaked version with root. Is it a .tar?
Is it in ipeench's thread?

yes, it is in the ipeench thread.... hard to see, the link is subtle... It's qouted below where it is in the thread, "here" is a link to the file.
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here

The zip you download will have eugenes pit / tar / and an older odin (3 files).
I do NOT suggest using the odin that comes with this zip as it is older and more likely to freeze, I have a link in the noob guide for the newer ODIN if you do not already have it (the ODIN you used earlier should work, just use the pit/tar from the zip).
I would strongly encourage following the steps for the ALT METHOD (near the bottom of the first post) in the noob guide, once you have it up and running, go into recovery and flash a custom froyo (I suggest trigger for speed and stability).
Once you have Trigger on your phone, you will be a happy camper. If not, PM me.
