Default D2G 2.4.330 won't root

So, i was rooted before the update and it unrooted me. I saw a lot for people used z4root to reroot but for me it isnt working. I have ran it probably 8 or 9 times just to be sure. I says that it is accessing the shell, the the screen goes white for a few seconds and it reboots. Once it reboots i am still unrooted. I tried the temporary root just to be sure and that doesn't work either. Anyone else? The first time i rooted it via the android terminal. I havn't tried that again yet...
Thanks in advance!

make sure you are using the newest apk for Z4root which I think it is 1.3.0 and make sure usb debugging is checked in the phone settings, and also do a battery pull and put it back in and then try it again.

It worked for me after the update.

Definitely am using the newest z4 and made sure debugging was on. I just said "screw it" like 15 minutes ago and did the whole thing through the terminal again. What a pain, but at least it works. Rooted.

Yeah i even tried installing the app through the browser and both the official and beta releases of the sideload wonder machine. Then, just to cover all of my bases, i tried older versions of z4. I guess this thread may help others who have the same issue as me but it doesn't sound like anyone else is?

Although I had to reboot after installation before it would work.

Installed the update while crossing my fingers. It removed root. Just reran Z4root and then rebooted. Fine and dandy.
