If you downloaded root but it didnt actually root your phone, this may be your prob

---

My problem was that I would download SuperOneClick and it would not give me actual root. The SuperUser icon was in my app drawer but if I tried to use any apps that required root access they wouldnt let me. When I opened Super Manager and clicked "Enable Root Access" a popup would come up and it would say something like "Your ROOT image will not work" or something like that.

The problem was this:
I found out that I had downloaded the most recent version of SuperOneClick. This version will not give root if you had the official 2.2. update. You needed to download the 1.5.5 version.

I hope this will help anyone who made the same mistake as me.

anybody? im freaking out since no one else has had this problem.

Try enable USB debugging

Settings > Applications > USB Debugging > Enable.

You should repost the OP with the solution in case someone else has the problem, if not people will search in vain.

good idea. Ill do it now.

Thanks alecjake, I am on ka6 and have heard there were issues with the latest SuperOneClick. Odd that an older version can root froyo but the newer version can't. Very helpful advice.

Not helpful at all. Did you even read the OP? Trying to get that post count higher with meaningless drivel?

Enabling usb debug helps with pc connection issues. Who's the post whore here?

One thing you also want to do, is after using superoneclick is to reboot. That way root actually works.

I also have problems with rooting my andriod, I ran Titanium Backup but it required root access to work, so I downloaded z4root and universal root apk, it says that my phone is rooted but still Titanium Backup cant detect any root access.

Also my Link2sd App(app2sd alike) also requires root, I think I rooted my phone but still doesn't work. A noob like me really need your help guys.. thanks in advance..

BTW i am running 1.6 andriod firmware.

Easiest way I've found is to use AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I'm on my phone so I can't link it but just go to the development section and look for the post with the program name in the thread title. It's super easy to root with it. Just follow the included directions!
