Default [Q] After upgrading to 2.2, I had problems with the rooting.

Hey guys,

I'm a new user here but I've been reading allot in the past 1 and 1/2 since when I got my first Android which was a HTC Wildfire.

I never had major problems regarding upgrade and rooting procedures but now I have a weird one.

After upgrading my Galaxy 3 (I5800) to FroYo, I've downloaded the Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root program intending to root my phone.

Once I run the software, it gives me a a popup error message that says:
The application failed to initialize properly (0x000007b). Click on OK to terminate the application.

As anyone else here would do, I went straight to google and search for the message itself and also for the error code. With no luck, I couldn't find anything reasonable to fix it.

Note that this message happens of Windows XP SP3 and also on my Windows 7 Ultimate.

I'm just running out of ideas guys.

Have anyone here seen this error or heard about it? I search here on the forum for that code and there's nothing matching at this point.

I would appreciate if anyone here can help me.

I can take a screenshot if needed.

Cheers
Fred Kaiser

I'm not on a computer, but I believe you downloaded the wrong one.

Did you download from the Galaxy 3 Development section?

Those are the steps I've followed in the link bellow. I couldn't find the z4root on the market and if I download it from the internet, I suppose I need the phone rooted in order to install the app, or not?
