Before I get flamed for not searching, I have and I was unable to post a question to the forum from which my question originated. Basically I need some help with installing the root using a Mac. I don't know how to make sure the root has taken place. I already have the bootloader unlocked and now I am trying to get the "perma root" to take. I get the root confirmation, all the way to the "GG!!" line at the end. However I don't know what/how to proceed. Any guidance would be great! Thanks guys!
If your not sure if you have root, download 'Terminal Emulator' from the market, type in SU, hit enter, and it should ask for superuser rights. If it does, hit yes. This means you have root.
If it says access denied, then you dont have root.
good luck man
Might I ask how you went about the unlocking-bootlader process on a mac? I'm stuck at this step (I know my way around everything else, but haven't used the terminal since the N1 days).
Also, check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310115 mac version posted.
Figured it out...bad download on my part.

Ok, I did this, and it worked. So I have a permanently rooted device. Now I just need to know how to delete the extra bloatware that I despise so much! any suggestions?!

So many options out there.
I used MyBackup Pro to Freeze the bloatware. No point on me uninstalling them really. I have plenty of space. A few megs won't make a big difference in my opinion.

I have a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.
I followed a guide here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
I can get into the recovery menu and I can see the option to reinstall packages. However when I press a power button to reinstall packages it seems like something is happening and it takes about 3 seconds and then the phone reboots.
I tried to use titanium Backup and I get a message it can't get access to root. I am assuming that am still not rooted.
I tried rooting with this method two times and it seems the result is the same.
Anyone has any idea?
thanks

But that is normally how long it takes.. It doesn't take long at all for it to work. Just go to apps on your phone, and look for an application called "SuperUser"
If it is there then you are rooted, and for apps that require root, there will be a little box that pops up asking for permission

Why are you going to flame him? None of the stickys have been updated with any information regarding root information for JI6.
Some people have issues, while other people do not.
I visit this forum everyday and still haven't found any definitive information about rooting on JI6...just people saying "hey try this" or "try that".
Goofing around without knowing what you're doing is the easiest way to jack up your phone. If he messed it up just following a thread by 'Billy-bob-Joe' then you would probably be the first one to flame him for not asking for help before he tried anything.
Cut the guy some slack.
Master thank you for responding.

I had the superuser application even before I was trying any rooting.
I also just tried another tutorial for one click root and another tutorial where a rooting is done from a apk file from within the phone but nothing seems to work.
Some people have the same problem at the one click root thread but there is no answer to that.
Thanks Tarzanman
I am assuming JI6 is a firmware that I have.
As of this post JI6 is the latest firmware for the Samsung Vibrant.
T-mobile is sending it out over their network ("OTA"), but you can also obtain the update via Samsung's (very buggy) Kies or Kies Mini software (assuming you get the software to recognize your phone properly).
It is called JI6 because if you go to Settings|About Phone|Baseband Version
then phones running this firmware will read "T959UVJI6"
Tarzanman thanks for your explanation.
On my phone is actually reads as: T959UVJFD.
Can this firmware be rooted?

Yes, JFD is the stock ROM. You might as well get JI6 loaded on to it, as loading it on after will reset your root priviledges anyways.
Best way to check if you have root is to download Terminal Emulator, open it, and type in SU...

you followed the steps on this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7150299&postcount=1
make sure you DL the file on that thread, and follow its steps!
1) make sure you rename the dl'd file "update.zip"
2) make sure you have the file in the internal memory of the phone, not the SD card
Try it again, and let us know!
I have never had a root problem, though I do find it strange that you had "superuser" prior to rooting.
You have a brand new phone? or did you buy it off the internet somewhere? There's no way new phones have "superuser" on it already.
If you've already tried to many methods, i'm guessing one of those ways you tried installed superuser on the phone without granting you root access (which is weird too)
From the General Sticky (and it works regardless of JFD or JI6):
HOW TO ROOT
justadude had a great post on how to root. Please read his post. I have used this method about 10 times and it always works flawlessly and it's just so incredibly easy.
Be sure you are placing the file on the root of your internal memory (sdcard/). This is possibly the easiest phone ever to root.

The phone was bought from second hands. It was locked to T-Mobile. The guy who i bought it from unlocked it and claimed that he only used it for one week.
The phone came with superuser app. It is part of the phone and not a 3rd party application. I cannot remove it. I thought it was part of the stock apps that come with the phone.
s15274n, yep did that at least three times now with no luck.
Just to confirm. I am putting the update.zip file on the root of the drive that has internal memory of the phone, not the SD card. I am guessing if I was putting it elsewhere then the recovery menu will not see it as install packages option.
I am lost. Perhaps the dude that sold me the phone messed something up somehow and now because of that I can't root.
Thank you for helping me guys.
s15274n
Can you tell me something?
When you select install packages how long does the process take before the phone reboots?
For me it takes about three seconds.
It really does not take long at all.... several seconds sounds about right.
Are you renaming the file on your phone, or the pc?
My concern is you are renaming it update.zip.zip (because your pc is hiding the file extension).

I am renaming the file on the PC via total commander.
I am pretty sure it is not zip.zip issue.
Download the file to your phone directly from the thread I linked.
On your phone, go to the filed (sdcard/download).
Long press and rename it using Astro or Root Explorer, etc.
just start to the left of update.zip and delete the name so it's now just update.zip
long press and move this file to sdcard/
go to stock recovery and flash it.
Do all of these steps and tell me it doesn't work....
Moved to Q&A and closed
After I install Metamorph and I grant it superuser permission....I clcik on Start Checks...
it never completes the checks...it gives me a message "make sure you have enough room on /system"
is there something I am missing???
I use root explorerer and I see I have a folders on system....but not sure what to do
Thanks
It does that to me sometimes when first installing. You just need to keep re-trying until it actually does it. Apparently its an issue with the app itself, not necessarily your phone.
EDIT: That is, assuming you are rooted.

I want to back-up some things--mainly the wife's angry birds stats. Trouble is that every post I read talks about loading things using the market after the tablet is ROMmed.
I've tried putting superuser on manually but it doesn't seem to recognize root explorer. All this after following the root instructions found here.
Angrybirds backup, superuser ... is not available in the gtab market (hadango) found on the device when stock. AppBrain doesn't seem to have any way to get the appbrain app onto the tablet.
I need advice on how to get apps on the tablet or to get superuser to recognize root explorer, or perhaps just how to get angrybirds backed up.
I use titanium backup or mybackup root!

Respectfully, what you use isn't the question really. If I can't get superuser to work with it then I'm still stuck.
So to restate here, I need a way to get these apps onto the tab before its rommed, or to make superuser to work.
honestly, I thought my wife would freak when I lost all of her angry birds saves, but she said it was "fun" to have to do it all again.
For superuser:
Install ES File Explorer from market
Use ES to install Z4root from xda
Run Z4root to root tab
Test root using Root Explorer
For backup:
Install Titanium
Perform backup of User Apps
Flash ROM
Install Titanium
Restore User Apps backups

You can trust the link. Lots of good info there.
If you are on a stock rom, you are not rooted (unless have you used something like Z4 to root it). All custom roms are already rooted for you. Anytime you nvflash back to stock you will not be rooted.

Well I remember looking for an answer to root and finding several places saying that I would have root after following those instructions. I guess I let my experience with rooting got in the way of understanding. That or nobody thought to mention that you don't need root to load a new recovery image or a ROM.
z4root it is. Thank you for your time and attention to my small problem.

No problem. It's all a learning experience. I knew absolutely nothing about android 3 months ago. When installing signed zips (which is what you install via recovery or cwm, the install scripts set permissions to perform the installations. Nvflash, also has root access. It' only you the user that doesn't have it when android boots on the stock rom.
Android is a big learning experience. There are no manuals and the only place this all exists is either in a post somewhere or in our minds. What 'goodintentions' did by creating the dummies site was try to make it as much a one stop shop as possible for new (and old) users to get the most out of their gTabs, but, there is just so much and each rom has different nuances that it's not possible to put everything there. Especially since he alone is footing the bill to keep the site going.
You also have to remember that not everyone is an expert and we all benefit by putting our collective minds together and helping each other. What one person doesn't remember another user may & hopefully help out. Just as hopefully you can do the same to someone else with your experieces.
Anyway, didn't mean to preach...time to get off the soapbox. Hopefully you can now do what you set out to do & if you need more info, feel free to post again.

Yea, well so much for z4root. It does do a good job of restarting the tab though.

Are you saying it didn't work? I used it on my gTab & Cruz Reader without problems. It's really simple. Install, single butten press & it will reboot. Where did you download from? How do you know it didn't work? After install/button press/reboot, open Terminal Emulator, type su & return. Does it respond with a # prompt...if so you have root access.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, or if it should be in General... BUT, can anyone tell me how to remove the Barnes and Noble Launcher and replace it with another (Looking at GO for now unless there's a way to run Nova on the current firmware. I'm looking at 1.4.2 right now (I saw the 1.4.0 stripped of B&N with GO launcher in its place)).
Any help would be appreciated
Yeah, this should probably be in General. And you'll need root access to install a new launcher.
you know... I ALMOST included "Yes, I have root" in my original post... but I thought, There is NO WAY someone would assume that given the question, I wouldnt have root access... that being said, YES, I have root access..
So, since you know i NEED root access... do you know how to accomplish this feat? or you just felt like telling me it should be in general, and that I need root?
Can an OP move this to general please?

This is a question. It should go in Q&A, not general.
If your launcher is available on the play store just install it and use button savior to hit home. Once you do that there will be a popup asking which launcher you'd like to use. Click the checkbox and select your launcher.
To remove the stock launcher, I would use AntTek app manager or Titanium to freeze the apk. That way if you ever need it, it's there. Only do it once your other launcher is installed.

Wow really? Have you ever read some of the questions that get asked around here? Then you'd understand why I have to assume you don't even know what root is. Sorry for trying to help you as simply as possible.
By the way, yeah, just install a launcher from the Play Store that are compatible. Then use that one as default.
Sorry, Been a member a long time, and yes.. I sometimes forget people have NO clue what it is that is needed prior to asking when they try doing something the device wasnt originally set up to do. I sort of equate the statement "Is it rooted" or "It needs to be rooted first" to something along the lines of: "How do I install a new transmission in my BMW" with an answer of "You need to have a BMW first". That being said, I have GO Launcher installed, but every time I hit the home key, it brings up the B&N interface, To get to GO, I have to go through TaskXP. Currently I'm using:

This is quite right. In my experience, if you want answers its best to give as much information as possible. Depending on the device it might consist of:
Bootloader unlocked, yes/no
S-off/on (HTC)
Root access, yes/no
Custom recovery, yes/no, if yes, what recovery + version
Current software version (if stock what version, if a rom, what version, etc)
Custom kernel, yes/no, if yes, what kernel/version
Solar is specifically referring to some posts we have seen on the nook forums; many nook users are very very new to Android and don't realize how important it is to provide the above information when asking for help.

@Luke, my thought process exactly.
@OP, no problem, I understand.
Anyway, I haven't been on stock ROM for a long time, but try installing an app called Homecatcher. It prompts you which launcher you want when you hit the home button. After that, you can set a launcher to default.
Hi! I recently updated to JB 4.1 my Prime and i read a lot of post talking about wipe and factory reset. Many users say that the tablet is much faster if you do it, and now i don't know if reset or not.
I have some questions that maybe users with more experience could answer:
- I have root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, will i lost it?
- I have a lot of apps instaled, which is the best way to backup and reinstall after? If i reinstall all apps, will get the same result like i already have now?
- Will i lost my setups?
- Is there any how-to guide that i can follow??
Thanks a lot!!!

I did a factory reset after the JB update
I did lose root. But the improvement in smoothness and responsiveness was worth it. I still hope to get root back soon however.
I did not bother backing up apps. I just got them back from Google play after I was back on line. No big deal

You will keep root, in the sense that the su bin will still be present. All you need to do is re-install the superuser app and you should be good to go

My Approach
ICS
a. Root Tablet using fsdebug. I did not unlock Bootloader to maintain warranty
b. OTA Rootkeeper
c. Update to JB
JB
i. Try if you are satisfied with carried-forward update of JB.
If you seek improvements
ii. Factory Reset
iii. Once done, download OTA Rootkeeper. Restore Root.
iv. Superuser etc.
End of story.
Personal Opinion (No Benchmark etc)
I believe my way of benchmarking Prime is accurate up to 0.5 to 2 seconds. I'm not milliseconds-obsessed.
A. Prime is noticeably smoother. (Tip: Using Titanium Backup to get rid of bloatware. Asus has kept bloatware low. Kudos)
B. I still get ANRs (Dolphin Browser) but only with certain websites using like an endless chain of javascript
C. Adobe Reader is smoother now. Not as Ipad smooth but much better. A 120mb Magazine can be scrolled impatiently without waiting for images to load. (my time on each page is 1.0-2.5s/page)
D. Wifi and GPS are inherently hardware-related issues. So I won't speak about those.
E. Google now is fun and polishes the experience
F. I have not tried Games.
Conclusion
ASUS has improved Prime in terms of how it handles instructions. However I/O Speed remains limiting but to the casual (>95% users?), it is good enough.
Sometimes best isn't enough and some people just won't be satisfied with anything. For me, I used to look for the best, now I look for whats best for my needs.
Sorry for rambling >_<

It's very strange because a few days ago, after updating to JB, i entered into a terminal end executed the order "su" without problems, and now i see the message "you don't have privileges"
