What is this thread?
This is where steps will be tried to get root on the device
What should be posted?
Steps to try, steps tried and failed, steps that worked
What should not be posted in this thread?
If your post doesn't have anything to do with root then you may ask in general, we will not help get adb set up or anything else, there are thousands of threads all over the interwebs that tell you how to get adb working and this will not be one of them.
So now that we have devices in hand and we have a few devs on-hand as well we can really get into this.
I will update this post later with tried methods and failed(and why) but for now we have some simple rules.
If you want to test, fine but share any and all details
We do not have someone in charge of root as several that are working don't have devices(myself included) and so we may just post steps, if you try the steps be sure to quote the steps tried and post results of each step(errors especially)
Once root is achieved provide pics and what you did so we can replicate and verify
Anything done on the phone is YOUR fault if you think that what you are trying could cause issues and you are uncomfortable doing the steps provided then stop and ask questions.
Standard disclaimers apply, if your phone is broke then fix it, we will try to be helpful if it was caused by our steps but the end result is if you brick it then it's your fault and we will note it as a step not to try again.
Hope this is helpful the rest will be updated below this later when I have computer to work at
Yea I preordered mines so it should be n by the oct 6 day(my brithday )
But yea I want root asap once I get the phone ill be up to trying a few things to help out.
What's mainly needed? A system, boot, and recovery dump?

what about unrevoked universal root method?
Give me some clockwork. I want the process to be easy like it is for the Vibrant. **** only took 2 seconds to root.
If I do acquire one.. how can I be of help?
The slides method should work. It works on all newer htc android models so far. we'll just have to wait and see really.

The thing about that is that I own only Macs. Doesn't adb, and odin only work with pc?
I know we won't really see clockwork on the G2, I'm just wishing here. lol
Either way, I just want this to be easy.
odin was for vibrant, adb will run on any OS so long as you know how(put ./ in front and run the command or just make sure that the adb binary is in your path) i plan on trying the adb method tonight, just need a build with root to test with
Hopefully I will be able to test this theory out tomorrow when I receive my device

Damn, that's a little discouraging. I was hoping the root method would be quick. Oh well, it will give me some time to play with a vanilla rom.

When it arrives, get into bootloader by holding volume down, then hit recovery, volume up+power makes text menu appear in recovery

Hey man, thanks for being so helpful, and willing to answer questions. I'm kinda new at all this, so I know who I'll be following around here in G2 world.
Well I only get the phone for 1 day but I will be as helpful as I can be with the phone, and I'll have one at work to toy with. Right now I am trying to get used to the keyboard and how it's set up

how do the short cut keys work? programmed? and what can they be programmed to do?
I've got one in hand with adb access but no root. Unless I'm doing it wrong, UniversalAndRoot, Unrevoked, and "fastboot oem unlock" all don't work. Other ideas?
This phone had 2.2.1 when i bought it.
I used 1 click root to root my samsung epic 4g and now i want to unroot it and get it back to its stock settings..
Could anybody help me?"

Many can, but for best purposes, why? You can have a lovely rooted, stock version that I believe they just updated. Otherwise look at qbking's vidoes on Odin/Heimdall to stock. No real reason to, unless you plan to sell or repair it.
When was this update?
And lately i havent been receiving any texts and was worried that it may have something to do with being rooted? idk..
and i know nothing about rooting/unrooting so when the day comes and i have to use my warrenty, id like to know how to unroot it.

Check the dev section, but not receiving texts may be an issue way easier than going back to stock. Also, be sure to state anything you've played with that makes you think it could be attached to s/u status. Lots of people will be happy to walk you through a variety of things that won't make you lose all your data.
honestly i love the whole rooted idea. I rooted my phone to use a screenshot app..but i feel like i can do more with it...the thing is..idk how. I wish i can get themes on my phone but everything seems so complicated. I probably wont unroot now...but since we're both here, any ideas on how to add themes to my phone? and maybe even reset to the default theme.

Did you flash a Rom after you rooted? What instructions did you go by? Be aware, it's 12:33 here and your questions may get differred to everyone else until morning. If you're on certain main Roms, you might be able to easily flash to either a new Rom or theme with little effort. This is where it can get tricky though and retracing your steps out loud will help people walk you to what you need until you get more acclimated to searching and "shopping" for what you what in here. remember your thanks, donations and verbal support, people like to help here
i did nothing after rooting. All i did was use 1 click root and enjoy the apps. I also know nothing about ROM or any other terms :/

but I don't think you should. There are plenty of good roms that you can use to make your phone better than a stock phone.

Nothing is complicated about putting ROMs or Themes on your phone Its developing them that is Complicated!
Follow the link in my sig to qbkings videos and you will be wondering why you thought it was complicated to begin with!
And here is a good link to read about all the terms and what not that you have no idea about

As long as you have a backup of your data on your card, your phone will live on as it did when you last clicked the wrong button. Bricking is everyone's biggest fear, but mostly because it's an inconvenience not a sentence.

The Root is right. The word "brick" is used too much. I can only remember a couple of people actually bricking a phone thus making it useless. 95% of the problems can be fixed with Odin. I didn't know a damn thing 6 months ago. I had to Google "rooting your phone." Now I test ROMs,themes, and kernels for developers. I could never go back to stock now. Rooting really frees the phone to make it your own. Flashing ROM's, themes, and kernels is easy and if you have any questions, there are people like me that are glad to help. Also, qbking makes great videos if you are a visual learner or want to see the process before you do it.

I agree with JohnCorleone, there have been many times where I thought I had bricked my phone, but there is usually a way to fix any problem. This site is great for finding out answers to your questions. And if you need help with a rom or rooting you can PM me. I'll try to help if I can.

Anyone got a root going for the new straight talk (verizon) Samsung Proclaim S720C ?
This will be great for me an affordable phone on straight talk with verizon coverage all I need is root
Has anyone tried the one clikc root fo this phone? I havnt been active on the site for close to 2 years so did some back reading and have seen stuff on the one clikc root but hate to be the first to try it as im not the most tech savy here
Im wanting this phone too! Im just trying to find official word if its verizon. Im sure theres a root for the phone somewhere its an old droid.
It is Verizon for sure I got my daughter one and my father one as well since verizon is the only carrier who gets service where my father lives except US cellular. The phone works great.
In the rural area we are in you have slim pickings as to what carrier has good service in certain areas.
Verizon has great coverage in this area but their contract phones are a bit pricey for my father and daughter's usage. But to get Verizon coverage on an android pre paid with straight talk is just a win/win for me. The only thing is that I really would like to root these phones so that they can use wifi tehtering in a pinch.
Its not going to be very often but sure is handy when you need it.
at the moment I have them set up for USB tethered sharing for internet when they have to have it mobile.
Id be willing to donate if someone takes up the challenge of rooting the Proclaim/illusion
I'm not currently a developer, but between the Proclaim and the Illusion I would think there's enough of an audience to develop something for these phones. The user group should be rather large.
I got it! But I hope we can get a trusted root. I'm afraid the straight talk software will go buggy if I root it. And I want to go over to ice cream.
I got one too - the proclaim and looking for a root. Please help XDA developers!

Do you have problems since you rooted when connecting the phone to your computer via USB? I've read there are problems with that once root is performed based on the link I provided above.
How long have you been rooted cozmo?

Figured out how to get the MSL code!
So after spending too much time at this I happened over an interesting method.. and that was to simply use the free LauncherPro and create a shortcut on the main screen for com.android.hiddenmenu.advanced. You simply install LauncherPro and hold down on the main screen to create a shortcut then go into Activities and scroll down to com.android.hiddenmenu and there are a ton of options there. A lot of them will not actually open up even when you try this method but advanced will open and ask for a SPC code and when it fails aLogCat will log the correct code!!
So to sum it up
1. Download LauncherPro
2. Download alogcat & use msl filter
3. Create a shortcut/activities
4. com.android.hiddenmenu.advanced
5. open the shortcut and type in a bad SPC
6. Success you have now logged your SPC in alogcat.
Nm.. I went ahead and took a look but it does not appear like the hiddenmenu contains any references to the "secret code(s)" and I know creating a shortcut to ETS Channel fails.. so maybe it is the hiddenmenu.apk? Otherwise I am not sure how to fix it if the phone is lacking in some way.
delete?
Ok so ive been threw quite a few threads trying to find out how to do this. So far none of them have worked for me. Im not a total nub i have experience with this and i know a lot of the terminology. I think my problem is that i dont have the drivers for the phone because i tried using super one click and that doom lord app. I was trying to do it manually but the instructions i tried to use had bad links (image that!) OH! its for sprint its running on 2.3.3 at this moment im running the ginger break app witch i know wont work but because i kinda ran out of options SO COULD SOME ONE HELP ME! and please if you send me a link to another fourm please make sure it works the instructions are clear and the links work (my biggest pet peave is when a link doesn't work and your screwed because you don't know were else to get the whatever it is! THANKS!!!!!
OK!

Like it might be for noobs but like i need working links to this so called driver i need like just last night i foud an amazing torral on how to root a evo v i bring that up because thats what im asking for lol because im giving up (lol mabey just because its 4:08am but lol PLEASE HELP!)

Our epic is the d700. Yours is the d710. Check out there foruma for root. And don't use our files, you'll brick your device.

I am currently running the Note 3 and have been rooting and flashing since the S2 epic 4g touch. I just dusted off my old epic 4g and rooted it with the fc09 stock rooted rom, and activated sprint for my brother. I didn't have any issues until after flashing. When I go into recovery now, nothing will mount, so I am unable to perform any actions in cwm. The stock rooted rom runs fine. I haven't ever had this happen before. Does anyone know of a solution? I even installed a 16 GB SD card that I had from my S2, and still get the errors in cwm.
