I made it. I tested it. It works. You can get it from shortfuse.org or use the links below (if you're a registered XDA member).

Here's a one-click root with almost all phones and all android versions. (including the i9000, Droid, Nexus One, etc)

YOU CAN ROOT ALMOST ALL ANDROID PHONES! :)

The program requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0+ or Mono v1.2.6+
Operations systems with native support:
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7
  • Ubuntu Hardy (8.04 LTS)
  • Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)
  • Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)
  • Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS)
  • Ubuntu Maverick (10.10)
  • Debian Lenny (5.0)
  • Debian Squeeze (testing)
  • Debian Sid (unstable)
  • Debian Experimental

If you run Microsoft Windows XP, install .NET Framework v2.0 or above
If you run Mac or another Linux flavor, make sure you install Mono:
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

For more information about making it work in linux:
See here


You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.

Great news. -1Day roots AT&T Motorola Atrix4G!!! YAY!

11/29/2010:

I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately!!! The problem is, I no longer have an Android phone and I can't play around or test anymore. I'm going to see if I can find one on craiglist or ebay.

I finally figured out how to root without looping. After rooting 13 phones, this is how I did it on the first try.

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Click Root

When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

It'll now run RATC

When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again


11/1/2010:
Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to lots of posts. I've been really busy lately with work. I've been reading some posts and I've made some changes in v1.5.2

Let me know what bugs and issues you guys have.


10/17/2010:
Thanks to all that donated! I was worried for a bit but you guys proved me wrong. So, I fixed the NMA (non market apps) button. It should now install sqlite3 and busybox into a temporary folder if you don't have it. I added an unroot (by popular demand). I did some major code clean up, so you can expect faster releases from here on out. Next version will add sqlite3 and busybox to the /system partition included in root.

If you're having issues with "wait for device" or if RATC is looping, try this
Unplug your USB Cable
Go to Settings > Applications > Development
Uncheck USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable
Unplug your USB Cable
Check USB Debugging
Plug in your USB Cable

10/13/2010:
I need people with issues to post their device model and if they tried rooting in recovery mode. All posts ignoring the read me will be ignored. (meaning nma complaints and those NAND locked devices).
I'm getting flooded with replies, PMs and emails. Seriously, try reading a few posts back.
The program has been downloaded over 5000 times and only 2 people have have donated. I see donations as signs of gratitude. Even if it's 25 cents, please donate.
When I find the time (and will) I will work on the v1.5 release.
The rageagainstthecage looping is by design. Bad usb cables and ports can cause ratc to not run properly so I have it loop until it works. The "waiting for device" hang is for the same reason. There's nothing wrong with my application. It's usually your usb cable or port. This is not a cop-out answer. This is not an excuse as if I didn't know why it happens. This has been investigated and the problem is USB connectivity. It happens with my Captivate as well.

10/11/2010:
Enabling market apps isn't working unless you have busybox installed. I plan to fix this in the next version. The problem is, different devices have different locations for the com.provider.android.settings/settings.db and I was using the 'find' command to find your settings.db location. I didn't realize this was a busybox command not internal. That will be fixed.

I also added some information about root that I think people should read and classified different root levels.

By classifying root levels, I make it easier for the users to know if certain options will work or not. For example, enabling non-market apps will only require a Level 1 root, meaning it will work with the HTC Aria

Incompatibility list

With the absolutely beautiful ADB exploit I use, titled rageagainstthecage (ratc), absolute ALL devices can be rooted. This is because it exploit is ADB which all devices use. There is an issue though. Some devices have a NAND lock which does not allow you to write to the /system mount. Because of this, you can't copy su, sqlite or busybox to /system/bin. This creates some issues but there is a work around. For things that don't need access to /system (like enabling non-market apps) I can use the ratc exploit to make those changes. If your device cannot use su in /system/bin then you can simple select a checkbox (as of v1.5) that says to use ratc.

There are 3 levels of "root" we can define:
Level 1: Shell Root (with ratc rooting the adb shell but no /system write access)
Level 2: Temporary Root (/system/bin/su installed but lost on reboot)
Level 3: Full Root (/system/bin/su installed and sticks)

Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.
The following phones can use http://unrevoked.com to remove this lock:
  • Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
  • Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
  • HTC Desire GSM
  • HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
  • HTC Aria
  • Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
  • HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)

THe HTC Legend and My Touch 3G 32A also have a NAND lock and need more specific methods to unlock.

The T-Mobile (HTC) G2 has something different which may or may not be a hardware flaw. I have yet to really research the device, but while it may root, it won't be permanent since copying /su to /system/bin/su has problems. I believe this is a Level 2 root, but to be honest, I need to research more.

All other devices has a Level 3 root via SuperOneClick

Version changes:
v1.9.5
Driver Installation Fix
Force Administrator on Vista/Win7
Fixed Non-Market Apps not working for some devices

v1.1
Universal device support. Application now finds your /system path.

v1.0
Initial release.

Development Plan:




Scheduled for next major release
  • Linux support via mono-project
  • Add a check box to use su or rageagainstthecage for other scripts (like Enable NMA)
  • Better error handling for devices with NAND lock on /system
  • Have options show what level root is needed (0,1,2,3)

To do list:
  • Jupiter fixes
  • Custom scripts support
  • Plugin support
  • Mac support via mono-project
  • Linux support via mono-project





Wishlist:
  • None
Thanks to basily, I have an Captivate v2.1 nv_data.bin I can test with to create the unlock button.
I need a mac/linux user to help me. PM so we can chat on AIM/Google

Courtesy of TheUnlockr.com, here's a step-by-step video:

Mod Edit: this app will set off some anti virus software...here's a small explanation by pulser_g2:

rageagainstthecage is a root exploit via a fork bomb.

It IS a potentially malicious payload, BUT it is being used with owner's consent to root the phone.

The DreamDroid malware use exactly same payload - they are trojans, but this is a helpful tool.

It IS a dangerous tool in the wrong hands, but this is a root exploit, so you should exercise common sense and a little understanding of what it does and how it works.

What does this mean(in bold).
I made it. I tested it. It works.

Here's a one-click root that works with Froyo on our Captivates. It's not just the Captivate. It works with almost all phones and all android versions. (including the i9000, Droid, Nexus One)

I've included busybox and sqlite3 because i wanted to. I'll make a full-fledged UI later (where you can select what apk to install, with or without busybox, etc);

If you don't have your Google SDK path set, include adb.exe in your folder (or just copy it to the sdk\tools folder).


It's Windows only at the moment (and you need .NET Framework 2.0+) but I'll port it to mac/linux later on (if you guys are that interested).

Couldn't have been easier. However when I launched TiB after seeing the successful ROOT message box from the unroot app, I am not rooted.

Update to my post: ran again and Busy Box states that I am rooted.


Thanks...

When i run this .. The GUI just hangs with a blank screen .. no errors.. if i go to task manager there are two adb.exe processes and if i force close one the GUI closes.

Any ideas?

You should reboot the phone, but I didn't want to make it mandatory. I'll add a prompt asking if you want to reboot.

Cl,

When I unzipped I clicked the gui and ok. It gives me an uncaught exception error. I figured I would just have to have USB debugging enabled, is there something else I am missing.

I figured I would give this a shot so I don't have to go though ADB to do my root all over again. I will post the details of my error.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

....... Ideas?

Seemed to work fine for me. I have the android sdk's tools dir added to my PATH. On Win7 x86 and using 2.2. Didn't try busybox or anything yet. Thanks CLShortFuse!

OK ... got it done ...

But now what? I got the Superuser Icon but I still can't replace system files.

Is there anything else to do?

How can I get rid of the AT&T apps?
How do I access the "open" market?

    The T-Mobile (HTC) G2 has something different which may or may not be a hardware flaw. I have yet to really research the device, but while it may root, it won't be permanent since copying /su to /system/bin/su has problems. I believe this is a Level 2 root, but to be honest, I need to research more.

    All other devices has a Level 3 root via SuperOneClick

    • Mac support via mono-project
    • Linux support via mono-project

    • None
    Thanks to basily, I have an Captivate v2.1 nv_data.bin I can test with to create the unlock button.
    I need a mac/linux user to help me. PM so we can chat on AIM/Google

    Courtesy of TheUnlockr.com, here's a step-by-step video:

    Mod Edit: this app will set off some anti virus software...here's a small explanation by pulser_g2:

    rageagainstthecage is a root exploit via a fork bomb.

    It IS a potentially malicious payload, BUT it is being used with owner's consent to root the phone.

    The DreamDroid malware use exactly same payload - they are trojans, but this is a helpful tool.

    It IS a dangerous tool in the wrong hands, but this is a root exploit, so you should exercise common sense and a little understanding of what it does and how it works.

    For you linux users:
    To get ADB working:
    Install these libraries:
    apt-get install lib32ncurses5
    apt-get install lib32stdc++

    If you run ubuntu, see this:
    http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#setting-up

    Install Mono
    apt-get install mono

    Install WinForms 2.0 for Mono
    apt-get install libmono-winforms2.0-cil

    Mark adblinux as executable
    chmod 755 adblinux

    Open application with mono:
    For v1.5.1, it has to be launched from the same working directory as adblinux, so open terminal, browse to the folder and type
    sudo mono SuperOneClick.exe


    In the next release, I'll make sure I fix the "working directory" problem so you can just right on SuperOneClick.exe, hit "Open with other application" and select mono

    The OP has been updated by me to indicate that this Exploit is intended for Gingerbread and older Android version devices. Since the OP of this thread has not officially been updated since January 2012, THREAD CLOSED until the thread owner notifies us to reopen it.

    Couldn't have been easier. However when I launched TiB after seeing the successful ROOT message box from the unroot app, I am not rooted.

    Update to my post: ran again and Busy Box states that I am rooted.


    Thanks...

    You should reboot the phone, but I didn't want to make it mandatory. I'll add a prompt asking if you want to reboot.

    When i run this .. The GUI just hangs with a blank screen .. no errors.. if i go to task manager there are two adb.exe processes and if i force close one the GUI closes.

    Any ideas?

    Plug in a device
