I tried the Z4 root method.

They are the devil because they allow n00bs to root with no knowledge on how to fix their phone should they break them.

Agreed. I think it took me something like six hours of research before I was comfortable rooting my G1. Having to learn beforehand is priceless.

I spent the better part of a month reading through this forum and androidcentral.

I only vaguely underalstand what I am doing.

Worked wonders. I figure I'd share the information. I'm sure most of you know already. You cant get Z4 from the market anymore. Have to search Google. Worked wonders. Way easier than the adb shell. Sorry if this is a repost

its not hard to manually root your phone on a computer. you should have saved some of that energy searching the internet and just gotten it done already

Yeah but by the same token we all screwed up our phones at one point or another when dealing with root issues. It may bother you that "noobs" don't understand what they're doing, but that is only in the sense that you hate their incessant questions on the boards.

By this same token, what really bothers you are people being lazy to the point of not doing a little research. So really, it's not one click root apps, it's people's laziness that bothers you.

There are alot of people here that act like android professionals and condesend to others. Correct me if i'm wrong but nobody here works for google or invented any of this... we're all just hacks at different skill levels, and everyone was a "noob" at some point.

z4 root does not work on this device...all you have to do is flash the su2.3.6.zip file in cwm recovery and your rooted.
