I have a friend trying to root on mac and suggested this app. What exactly did you do make z4 work and did you do the permanent or temp version?

permanent and read the above. install superuser and then run z4root. easy peasy

how do i know if i am rooted?

I just used the Unrevoked to root my phone and after the last step, I am lost...How do I know if my phone is rooted and what do I do next???
Go to market and search for root. Download an app that requires root and if it works you are rooted.

[Q] HELP!! Phone won't reboot

On my EVO when I click on the the reboot I get a black screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle. I need help!
Are you rooted?

Yea we need to know if you are rooted. If you are try rebooting the ph using on of the reboot apps on the market, (Rom manager, Quickbot)...
Yes I am rooted

Doesn't sound like you are rooted.
Black screen q/ the red triangle... I thought that meant you weren't rooted that results from quickboot and you are NOT rooted.
Can you atleast shut down, then boot?
I thought I was rooted. I have the superuser permission icon. I jus **** down and tried to reboot. Got the black screen with red triangle over a phone. ROM manager said error when attempting to run privileged commands.

You are not rooted. Installing Superuser does NOT = rooted...
Ok then what is the best way and easiest to do so?

Ok so I need to root my phone fully. Need help!

It can't get easier than using unrevoked. Google it, and watch the instructional clips on youtube.
Once you are rooted, you can flash roms via rom manger from the market.
a quick fix: hold volume up and hit power while on the red triangle screen. then hit reboot. if that doesnt work, hit the wipe button on the same menu to start over. if that still doesnt work, take a hammer to it and say u fell off your bike
Do I have to download from my pc or can I download the unrevoked straight to my evo?

Can I download it straight on my phone.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you can't read, follow instructions on step by step youtube clips, you should just live with stock.
What the hell do you think the choices given by the unrevoked site is for?

Windows (PC) Linux (PC) Mac OS (PC).

Any other way to root without computer??

So Ive pretty much given up on trying to connect my phone to my laptop. Any way to root this phone with an app or something?? Like gingerbreak or z4root??

Nope, you need to flash cwm recovery through Odin then flash superuser.zip to root. Maybe rom manager has the cwm. Then reboot into recovery then flash the zip but I'm not sure. I don't use rom Manager

Isn't there SuperOneClick? I've never used it, so I'm not sure if it's an application used on the PC or on the phone.

Its used on the pc, i remember using that to root my optimus v. Im going to see if i can borrow someone's laptop and see if it works on theirs, if not i guess I'll see if i can get another phone thru the warranty

Superoneclick doesn't work on 2.3.6. They say it works on 2.3.5. Odin, easiest way.. why is it that you don't want to use PC??

Was your problem narrowed down to your phone or the pc? I had a similar problem, but it was driver issues. After downloading Kies, it works fine.
I'm just sayin!

I thought it was the other way around, but anyways. Odin really is the easiest way to root the phone, hardly takes any time either.

Somehow I'm not sure mobile ODIN will help root anything.
Was pretty sure mobile Odin does not support our version of the sg2.

If i were you I would play it safe and borrow a computer. Last thing you want is a $500 paper weight

Actually there is a way.
Here is how I did it.
Download Rom Manager FREE and Premium.
Flash clockworkmod recovery for GSII Tmobile
Download Superuser from "Download Rom" section and scrolling down to where it says "Superuser"
Install the latest Superuser, and you're done!
It's that easy.
And then to get busybox, you can search the market for busybox installer and install the latest version of it.

Thank you all for responding, I have tried almost everything and nothing has worked. I spent like 6 hours last night searching all over the web and nothing solved this. The only thing i have left is to try on another laptop or pc. Hopefully that works

oh wow you still didn't get it to work? yeah narrow it down to either the pc or the phone.
his previous phone states that his old t989 connected completely fine to the laptop but after doing an exchange the new one is not detected. He has tried reinstalling and uninstalling the drivers, kies, and removing whatever is installed through usb with usbdeview.
so yeah, i'm stumped also. any of the mentioned method worked for me... soo good luck once again op! lol

[Q] Rooted or not?

use superoneclick, btw, cm10 comes pre-rooted I guess?! maybe theres something corrupt..
you should have installed CWM after you rooted already.

Kill adb.exe and try again

i got same problem.. did you solved it?
It should be already rooted... BTW!?
Ηι, someone was able to do it and how?
I have the same problem, actually this is the 2nd time.
I installed clockwork recovery, flashed cm9, it wasn't rooted.. Tinkered around and it worked. I remember it being fairly simple and therefore I took little notice of what I did.
After screwing my phone up I flashed again.. Now no su access, no root access.. And i cant seem to surpass it. Clockwork works fine, and superoneclick does not
Flashed rom and su patch from maclaw..
If anyone could shed light id be very grateful.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA Premium HD app
If I remember correctly, cm9 had an option to enable disable root access for apps and adb. Have you checked if you have the right options enabled in the settings ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've tried root apps only and root apps + adb
Also tried disabling root and applying su patch.. Nothing! It sucks cos I hate bloatware. Cm10 was rooted using the dev options in settings, but the rom was too unstable for me
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA Premium HD app
Try following these steps. Might work
1. Flash Stock ROM back.
2. Root the phone.
3. Install Clockwork MOD
4. Then install CM9 RC2 by maclaw
5. After that, install the patch through CWM
These steps worked for me.
It worked for me! Yaay su permission has never felt better
Thank you!
