If it is not working for you (either the z4root itself or the apk is not copied) -

please run z4root, dont press the 'root' button, connect the device to a pc and run "adb logcat", wait until all the log is shown, press on the device the "root" button, and paste here the relevant logcat messages.

GREAT. Finally. Works superb on JPA.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Great job!
30 sec and my SGS is rooted.

cheers

one thing... as long as they use linux, there will always be bugs that can be exploited to root your device. They might want to make it a tad bit more difficult, but when you have the machine in hands, you're root.

I so wish i had more time, i'd completely tune this baby to my needs!

ps. why doesn't anyone modify the values/options in /etc ? afaik there is no reason not to...
pps. ryanZA: maybe some error checking in the rooting code?

this isnt working on the evo. it runs, reboots, but it doesnt take.

No go on my friends Desire

Root access cannot be found

I just ran the root process from my Evo 2.2 in about 15 mins. very simple as stated by dev. Once it was done it self rebooted and root was a success. I'll post back if any issues.

Thanks to the dev @RyanZA for making this simple process extremely simple and @mic_888 for initially posting the story.

I ran the the root process shortly after reading into it, installed a couple known root required apps ie; shoot-me and overclock they installed nd worked. When I installed and tried to run titanium backup and cryogen nd rom manager I was unable to run them.I keep getting a root access failure message. I also installed busy box via titanium cause it mentioned I might may have an outdated version, no luck there either.

I was also curious if this root came with nand unlock?
Evo 2.2

works on motorola droid x

I just downloaded and installed on My motorola Droid X 2.2, it hung the first time i tried it and had to pull the battery, everything rebooted fine and i ran it again. this time it took less than 30 seconds it rebooted on its own and when it started up i had so far as i can tell full root functionality.
awesome and easy, keep up the good work.

Very nice, thank you.

unfortunately doesn't work on desire hd

cant get link to download

i noticed that when i select the download unsuccessful notification it says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone". I have a
D2 that is stock running System Version 2.3.20.A955.Verizon.en.US. Android Version 2.2. Baseband Version BP_C_01.09.07P. Kernal Version 2.6.32.9-g462500f dbretzm1@il93lnxdroid22 #1. Build Number VZW. ERI Version 5. PRL Version 52031. But I quessing that you already know that.

I went as far as downloading it on my computer and putting in the download folder on my SD card and tried running it but no luck. If anyone can help that would be great, thanks.

That works for me

I tried to root, it goes though the process and reboots but busybox says phone needs root. Evo running 2.2, thoughts?

rooted the backflip update to 2.1 (official) perfectly.

do we have to do this from our computer, because i downloaded it on my evo on this thread but it said it wouldnt open it because it didnt have an application to open it. thanks for the help.

don't work on spica i5700

install ok
the run, and crashed, reboot, and nothing different on the phone

how long does it take ? After 5 minutes, it is definitely crashed ?

thx

hello,

works flawlessly on a 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S

I never tried rooting it before because I didn't want to do anything that needs a PC (yeah I'm lazy !)

and on a side note, I installed OCLF just after that, no problem so far

thanks a lot for your nice work !

sorry for doublepost, but can confirm its working on i5800 galaxy3
