So I installed the Verizon OTA update and now I seem to have lost root. I was rooted via Z4. Now when I click root, it just vibrates and nothing happens. I cant use rooted apps any more. The Superuser app is still present, though it doesnt do anything. Can I just do the oneclick root over the Z4? I really don't want to ruin the tab. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
* I am running stock rom.
Thanks
After any ROM update root has to be lost. On new ROMs z4root does not work, that is right. Try to find SuperOneClickv1.7_ShortFuse - it really works with latest updates. Put the package on your C:\ disk. Run executable with administrator rights, otherwise it will not work out. If you have any anti-virus running on PC - stop it before copying the package to disk, otherwise it will immediately kill one of the files in package (this one is not a virus!).
Hope this helps.

I also applied that update and lost root. z4root wouldn't work anymore, SuperOneClick did the trick! Thanks for the help!

You are welcome!
Qman, thanks for you help. I did simply run the onerootclick app and it worked perfectly!
Hmm. Turned on USB debugging, ran SuperOneClick as admin but getting stuck as "Waiting for device......"

Did your PC detect the tab? Are drivers installed? Other people did this trick smoothly.

It is not so funny, many people just are trying rooting without drivers... Please see some details here, it may help probably
Where do I get the drivers and how do I install? I found SuperOneClick1.8ShortFuseDrivers but I'm not sure if that's it and how to install if it is.
Thanks.
It took a while but I finally found the drivers and was able to root successfully. However Titanium backup still says it can't get root access....
EDIT: I had debugging off. Works now.
I have been putting off doing the VGT update for fear of having to reroot or something else going wrong but I got sick of that pop up so I said what the hell and went for it. . . .
And I still have root. . .
But I am running just about stock everything, I have not found or seen any good reason to run a custom rom yet.
Now it there was a way to run CM7 I would love that!! I have that on my Evo and love how fast my phone is.
But to the point. . . Are we all getting the same update? Again I just did it and I have not lost root.

THANKS!!!! Worked like a charm.
I was previously rooted with Z4. I installed the "mandatory" Verizon update and of course lost root, Z4 and Superuser no longer worked. Found your post, tried it on my XP SP3 machine with no luck, kept coming up with daemon not running or something like that. Just now tried it on a Vista machine and it worked flawlessly. I did have to reboot for it to work, did not see that mentioned anywhere here, but after a reboot my apps that require rooting are once again working.

It is not mentioned because it is considered to be done "by default" - after any system update a tablet must be rebooted...

Hey guys,
So my brother recently purchased a Bell Motorola Atrix. I have been trying to root it for him in order to install the hack where you can access the WebTop environment via a normal HDMI cable.
I tried SuperOneClick, and it says rooting successful (even after it does the test to determine if the device is rooted) and SuperUser does appear in the applications list. I also tried UniversalAndroot, also to no avail.
However, any applications that require root claim that the device is not rooted.
Are there any other ways of rooting this device? Or am I just doing something wrong? (keep in mind I have rooted several other devices with SuperOneClick, and those have all been successful)
Please help,
Thanks,
DS1495
look for "adeo" in the dev forum. try that
Try rebooting? That's what happened with mine.

DONT DO THIS.
He has a Bell Atrix.
I had to toggle debug on and off a few times before it would move past waiting for device.
Make sure you have the mkro drivers installed. Also the phone should be in phone portal mode, I believe.
Good luck

Thanks guys, aRoot worked wonderfully! First try!
I have tried the aRoot on the Atrix I just bought yesterday from Bell (I am now a bell customer :-( ) but it doesn't work. I must be missing something. I double click the script, it runs through all the steps, even says, rebooting at the bottom, but it does nothing. I press any key to continue, and nothing.
any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Figured it out, turns out it wasn't recognizing the adb driver.
nick78ru said:
Had this problem. While connected (as USB storage) uncheck USB debugging and and enable it again. Check in Control Panel=>Device manager for ADB Services (should be at the top with sublisting for Motorola usb device or smthing like that).
Then open command promt:

cd\AndroidSDK(or whatever you called the SDK folder)\tools\
adb devices
Let me know if it helps

So I got the Froyo update and it killed my ability to tether and root.
Seriously, Im even having trouble with WIRED tethering. Its not working and wont root.
Please point me in the direction of some noob friendly step by step instructions for installing a custom rom that is tethering friendly, along with any info for simply getting wired or wireless tethering to work after the Froyo update?
You shouldn't have installed the update.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Yeah I know. Is there nothing I can do now?
They say they can bring you back to 2.1 if you take it to the shop. Does the update do anything that prevents installing ROMs? When they bring you back to 2.1, will that fix whatever they did or is it in that version now too?
Why can't you root?
Because I accepted the update and the update killed root and tethering for me? I guess there was a way to upgrade without accepting that update.
z4root wont work, and also it says that the OS no longer has the drivers to support the free wireless tethering apps.
......Did you read the OP?
So how am I supposed to root if I cant even use clockwork to install new roms without root access? Am I totally ****ed? Should I just return this phone and get one from Verizon?
Yes I read the OP but the 2.2.1 update doesn't prevent rooting again. If it did, I wouldn't be rooted right now.
I'm not sure what you did or didn't do, but the one click method works.
hes never been one clicked. he only used z4root.

z4root is hokey. you need to use the oneclick root. its really simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
use this thred. it is for real root, not z4. also, the drivers are installed on your computer, not your phone.

Thank you for something helpful finally.
That makes sense. I tried installing it on my phone. Thank you for noticing that.
You know, if you wrote these instructions for noobs it would really help....For example, when we are dealing with not 1 but 2 devices, it might be helpful to describe which device is doing what. One minute I am doing something with the phone and the next its just "install this"....Dumb it down a bit, like you are talking to people who dont know anything about anything.
Anyway, thanks. Im going to try this now.

Don't feel too bad. I had to read that stuff several times before even deciding whether I should try it.
It keeps saying phone is not connected, even though it says USB-storage is enabled and I can access the files on my phone.
Don't click on mass storage.....and turn on usb debugging

The NON-One click solution seems doable but complicated, and I dont really know what I am doing.
Im thinking about paying somebody to root the phone properly. One person advertised in the SF Bay Area that I know of.

OK. Now it says rage against the cage is missing.
The file is clearly there, but VLC media player wants to open it instead of anything useful.
do you use any sort of anti virus? it will remove things from the ragagainstthecage exploit. disable you antivirus for a few minutes and redownload the the rootpackage. im not saying thats what the problem is, im just saying antivirus clashes with the root method.
A little effort goes a long way. Getting root is easy for the epic. Install the samsung drivers, turn on usb debuging on phone, extract the oneclick folder and run the "run.bat" file and let it do its thing.

I had that problem also and it turned out that I was trying to run it from a networked drive. I had to unzip the file to my computer desktop then run the program from there before it worked properly.
If you check out this thread there is a how to video i made to root and flash a rom. Check it out, I think it will help you out.

make sure correct samsung drivers are installed on your computer (32 or 64)
download and extract once click root to your computer
Enable usb debugging on your phone (settings - applications - development - usb debugging)
Plug phone into computer
Run run.bat, wait, and enjoy.
Hello,
I'm completely new to Android. I've been working on computer chips for 15+ years though (IC layout). I'm currently working on the follow up to Tegra 3.
I wanted to use SwitchMe on my N7 so I rooted it with msabra's one click root tool(CWM). Now I am getting constant reminders about the 4.1.1 system OTA update.
I really have no desire or time to play with mods right now.
I've searched on how to do it, but would one of you mind explaining the steps in detail? Also, if I unroot to install the update will I lose all of my user data, apps, etc?
Thanks!
Chris

You can just unroot, install the update, and reroot. I would use Wug's toolkit. You could also install voodoo OTA rootkeeper I believe, and backup your root, temp unroot and install the OTA update, and then restore the root that you backed up.
Unless you lock the bootloader and unlock the bootloader, the device shouldn't wipe the data partition on it's own.
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately the toolkit keeps crashing at the unroot step.

Try toolkit release by mskip..hope it help and for the wug toolkit make sure reboot your pc and please connect and disconnect the usb cable. Be sure that there is one android adb driver is install. Check at your device manager. If you use winXP, kindly upgrade to win7 pro or later for better stability. Hope it help .
I was able to run backups with Wug's kit, but it gave me an error every time I tried to unroot. I don't think I rebooted my PC after I installed it, so I'll try that out tonight.
I also downloaded mskip's kit, but haven't tried it out yet.
I'm on W7 64.
Thanks!

I have been trying to root a Sidekick 4G for two days now. But the only process that I could find to do it that was currently updated was SuperOneClick. I am posting this to hopefully help others that might be stuck somewhere along the process because in my extensive searches, I have found so many people that were stuck at the same places I was, but noone seemed to have any answers other than re-install the drivers. Well I installed and re-installed the drivers about 10 times; downloading them from various websites.
Problems that I had:
- My Samsung drivers would install part of the way or not all all
Finally, what worked for me was to DL KIES from the Samsung Website. I installed KIES and let it fix the drivers for me! I was then able to get past the 2nd line in SuperOneClick where it was waiting for ADB but now...
- I was getting stuck at Step 5 in SuperOneClick and sometimes at step 7
What I found was that my virus software (Bitdefender) was deleting the exploits as soon as I started the root process! Even though I thought that I had shut down Bitdefender (in MSCONFIG) when I went back into MSCONFIG to check I found that Bitdefender was turning itself back on!
I found that there was a way in the settings within BD to turn off the autovirus scan for a short period of time. Once I had it all turned off, I unzipped SOC again (because BD apparently couldn't see the zipped up files and never deleted those). I reran SuperOneClick, then it finally worked!!!
Hopefully this helps someone from spending the hours & hours that I did trying to find the solution.
SuperOneClick stuck on step 5 for me too.

This worked for me. Couldn't have been easier.
Always used SuperOneClick to root my ML2.
Please, check this items:
- User Debugging Mode
- Motorola Flash Interface (on Device manager of your computer), if not show this, will not work well.
With your device manager opened, click on Root button and check if your cell loses connection when stopped at chmod command.
The SuperoneClick uses the zergrush tool and seems like a exploit by anti-spyware softwares. Make sure that you disable when runs the SuperOneClick.
Hey all OUYAins!
So recently I updated my OUYA to Chickcharney and lost root access *cue crying*
I tried installing RootMyOuya1.1 by WonderEkin but it didn't install. So I snooped around for different rooting methods such as ReRoot script by Eldon McGuiness (You can take a look at his script here).
The method that worked perfectly fine for me was to download a piece of software called Kingo (here). Simply download and install it and connect your OUYA to your computer via USB and click Start Root. Wait for the software to root your OUYA and it will eventually reboot. You should now have SuperSU installed with root access!
I hope this thread helps anyone having difficulty with getting root access on Chickcharney!
I'm assuming the device needs to already have been rooted prior to trying Kingo ROOT? I just got my system on Thursday and since I'm new it forced me to download the Chickcharney update and I can't figure out what the best way is to root my OUYA.
i just got one on friday and the same thing it updated automatically
i use this to root my system it still works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2350900
my ouya was rooted before the update. yesterday I tried Kingo and it said "already rooted", but I had no root permission. So I clicked "root again" and after a minute or so my ouya was rooted again properly.
Thanks Sn0wdune

The driver's wouldn't install because I had to turn off driver signing. I got it working after that with Ouya Toolbox root... even though it was crashing part way through. I had to run the TEST version of Ouya Toolbox and just forced the root and I guess it was fine because it appears to be rooted.
