2.3.4 ZergRush

Phryxus · May 1, 2012

Alright, with my 2.3.4 update I have tested ZergRush method of rooting and here is my result:

It eventually froze at waiting for device doing both methods.

Well our error is with the rootit files. This means we have to bypass security again.

My question is why does it matter if we have root? God forbid we want to remove Verizon Crapps and feel like we own our phones. It's the same with AT&T not allowing any type of unlocked phone on their network.

If you remove the Verizon apps, that's less of an opportunity for Verizon to make money off of you. They also talk about security issues, which I can actually see a point to it. After having had my father destroy a computer by deleting system files and registry keys, I believe that root access in the hands of the technologically illiterate could be devastating.

However, that's why they can claim that warranties are voided, because it was something we did to mess it up. Frankly speaking, it's business. They pay people to develop these apps, and the OEMs pay people to make the user interface, which I'm sure is why they like to lock the bootloaders. In other words, companies like to make money, which means they're going to try their hardest to make sure they have every opportunity to.

I posted in the other forum too but maybe I can get some answers here too...

So.. I was on stock 2.3.3 rooted with locked bootloader. Took the OTA without unrooting and now I seem to be on the new 2.3.4 with root. Root checker app confirms it, how do I verify this?

Edit: I used titanium to remove a system app and used open garden and was prompted with the superuser screen

A big part of it is that the carriers don't wanna receive calls from people who did something stupid after rooting, and want repair/replacement.

So am I to understand that if I use root keeper when I've used the zergrush method then I'm okay?

If you are rooted then update OTA you usually keep root access.

In preparation for 2.3.4 I flashed a stock 2.3.3, rerooted, then went ahead with the OTA. It kept root but for some reason my signal and wifi indicators are now a constant gray. Everything works fine so I guess its nothing major right?

I have the same issue. Called Verizon to see if it was part of the update, they called Sony "who could not tell" but said "if everything is working, dont worry about it."

I had the Verizon 2.3.3 firmare, and rooted with zregRush. Before the OTA I read that it would fail with root, so I unrooted the phone. Started having a couple issues, so minor I do not remember what they were, but ended up using flashtool to reflash the stock image I downloaded. Everything was fine then, my icons were turning green when connected, and all. Then did the OTA, and everything is working but the icons for wifi and 3g never go green. Is there any more word on this? Is there any futher word on zeregRush rooting?

I have the doomloard linux script to to the root process, and I tried to run the commands instead of the script, I found that I was unable to create or pus files to the device, so I tried to use the sdcard, but when running the zregRus program all I get is access denied!

Sorry to quote your whole reply. I'm currently mobile. I have the same greyed out issue and turns out a lot of people are having this issue with 2.3.4 on other phones. Galaxy Nexus for exmaple. They are all using stock like most of us with R800x. My Wifi and 3G do work flawless but its annoying because I can never tell if its lost signal or not.

Check G-Talk, if that can't connect, that's the issue (I had the issue on a non-rooted version, too)

I checked G-Talk, and no it can not connect to the server. Is this an issue I can fix(reload app, factory reset??) or is this something in the update?

To my knowledge, something in the update, I tried flashing latest Gapps, and still have the same problem

BTW I have locked bootloader, never messed with that! Did root, 2.3.3 also had an issue were I used flashtool to load the R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf so I guess I am not quite sure if I was running a stock image before I did the OTA to 2.3.4?

If you ftf'd back to stock, you were on a unrooted device when you updated, so root isn't the problem
