One Click Root Exploit by p3droid

unzip the contents into a folder and run the exploit, make sure your phone is on, plugged into your computer, and under settings/development USB debugging is turned on

OK, that worked for me, got bootstrap working. Now to backup? All I need to do is push the bootstrap backup button? I did and it says "success". Is that all it does?

First you bootstrap recovery, then you reboot recovery, that's where you will make your backup

great. so once I do both and on main menu click on backup and restore, then backup? Its working now, so once I get this done I can start flashing ROM's?

ok, thats weird. Just tried taking a screenshot pic with the screenshot app and when it did a small message appeared and said at first is: error fb0 is your phone rooted

then when I reopen the app it says that: ScreenShot only works on rooted phones

Its worked before in the past when I was bone stock?

If you are still stock root I would do the forever root and then back that up that way if we get the update you can just go back to that and get OTA without loosing root.

OK, you got a link to the forever root? Got too many dang windows open and too much going on right now to even think straight LOL

Edit: nevermind, I had downloaded it earlier and had it already LOL So it says I am forever rooted now. Now to make sure I have backup'd everything before I flash any new roms. Whats the best one out there?

Ok, when I make a backup do I just do system data? Does it override last backup or make a seperate entry? thanks for all the help guys. Getting ready to go to work so wont be able to flash any roms till tomorrow. I will check back in here once I get to work to see anyones response. THanks again........cant wait to see what this puppy can do

Make a seperate backup just like you did the first time just remember what one it was then go to whatever you want to do

When that page mentions 'the Root Explorer method', they're talking about this app, right?
