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 .

One Click Root.
first thread at the top of this forum. is a GUIDE on how to ROOT.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
use odin to 2.1, then root with update.zip
use odin to flash something with root already

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.

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.
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.
i tried all update.zip and unroot.zip from different sites with cwm and none of them unroots my phone
Try unroot.zip from main post in development forum.

Superoneclick could be a good idea. Install it and just click on unroot. They say just don't mount the sd card and you'll be fine.

For me the SuperOneClick program seemed to freeze but I waited and it was just lag. Worked great anyway.

If you are rooted using chainfire superSU, go in supersu settings and you will find an option to completely unroot
Otherwise, flash a stock kernel from your rom

any other way as I cant get odin on my work pc?
ignore this
I wiped all my apps and forgot my phone was unlocked which was only available through root so I have to keep root.
Whats the best rom to use these days?
get the stock kernel from <sammobile.com>. and flash through ODIN. really very simple. but then you root for the fun and freedom and why go back?
