rooting help

[fezrock]

I'm really new to this stuff and these terms. But all of this info is in the forums. Every bit. Also search for z4 and root on Droid Life for some easy quick info to steer you in the right direction.

You'll want Titanium or somesuch to backup your apps. And clockwork bootstrapper at least. After you root that is. CYA!!!!!

OK i will try and post results

 

[1KDS]

just follow my above post and you will be rooted in the next few minutes

Use superoneclick there are not apps you HAVE to have. To take advantage of being rooted setcpu is recommended if you want to install custom software rom manager. If you don't have a clue what you are doing I suggest you google everything do research and always make a backup of your current set up before installing or as we call it flashing.

wait do i back up before root?

 

[1KDS]

no, there isn't really anything you can back up without root, there isn't any risk involved with rooting with z4, it either works or it doesn't

 

[WilfulHippo]

rooting as we speak...thanks guys for the help!

There's nothing to it...just install z4root 1.3.0 ,open it , touch permanent root. It will ask permission,quickly touch ok. Phone will reboot. Open app again, it will ask permission for superuser, ok again..should see unroot option,bottom of should say rooted..

Sorry I was late...enjoi

it has been saying running exploit in order to obtain root access for minutes now? what do i do?

 

[1KDS]

give it maybe 6-8 minutes, if it hangs there back out of the app and reboot and try again, or just pull the battery and try again

 

[WilfulHippo]

is it supposed to take that long?

 

[1KDS]

it can, like I said, if it hangs for a while pull the battery and try it again, this is very common with z4

 

[WilfulHippo]

That won't corrupt anything?

 

[1KDS]

nope, it either works or doesn't
