Hi, I've got an htc magic 32a with 1.5 android.
I've downloaded androot from the market, but it won't install superuser after rooting.
How can I install superuser?
I need it for the proper use of rom manager..

Thank you!

The Beta (UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk) appears not to work on my ZTE-Blade (Orange San Francisco 2.1-update1 P729BB01 2.6.29 [email protected] OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08)

The app claims to have rooted my Blade, via either the soft or full route, but "Titanium Backup" and "Wifi Passwords" both claims the phone is NOT rooted, and there are errors in the log e.g.

Code:
Wifi enabled ...
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
rm failed for /system/app/Superuser.apk, No such file or directory
rm failed for /data/local/tmp/rootshell, No such file or directory
Exploit delete success
Install/Uninstall rootkit: true
ls -l /sqlite_stmt_journals
-rws--x--x root     root        16224 2011-01-02 22:57 rootshell
ls -l /data/local/tmp
opendir failed, Permission denied
ls -l /app-cache

However if it doesn't root your phone, there are numerous other methods of rooting out there. I suggest SuperOneClick or unrevoked.


EDIT: I see that a lot of people have no idea what rooting is, or don't even know how to install an apk. Seriously, rooting can potentially harm your phone if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing. For that reason, I strongly recommend you hold off using this app (or rooting in general) until you have done enough research and are more comfortable with Android.
If you insist on using this app, use it at your own risk. You have been warned!



This is a good post to guide you through how to flash a custom rom, after rooting your phone. And no, this app does not unlock your bootloader.

It's not a virus, but it is a security exploit, thus classed as dangerous by AV programs. It is safe.

I previously used this on my Dell Streak with AT&T 1.6, worked on second try. Just tried 1.6.2b5 with O2 2.1 and can confirm it also worked on the second try.

No clue about any virus, since I don't plan to use this stuff for long, but looks normal so far.
