Many thanks

Or you can just grab it here. dancedroid

In order to upload it to DF, I had to change the file extension to ".zip". You will need to change it back to ".apk" in order for it to work properly.

Download the file
Rename it to z4root.apk
Copy it to the root of your SD card.
Single tap and install.

Thanks a lot...
This really saved me a lot of hassle...

Well, Temp Root would be Temporary...which means after you reboot your phone you wont have root any longer and any root apps will not work..

Perm Root is Permanent Root...which surprisingly means, root is permanent, so when you reboot your phone you still have root access and root apps still work.

Come on now...did ya really have to ask this....:rofl3:

well yeah i had to ask i know what permanent and temporary means...but if you dont remember well, back in the day z4root was just a 2 procedure app. root and unroot i asked because i notice it was not the same in which case i rather be safe than sorry dancedroid hmmmm better yet ill rephrase it, if you root permanently can you unroot with z4root like before...

 

[furbearingmammal]

There's also the fact that Temp root doesn't work on Motorola phones for some reason, but Permanent (until you unroot) works fine.

 

[nerdslogic]

Regardless if it works or not. Temp root is gone upon reboot. Can cause serious issues at that point.

 

[furbearingmammal]

Very true. However, just root it and be done with it. When you don't want root anymore, just unroot.

 

[Ajmazin]

I rooted mine yesterday and unrooted it to check something. Now I'm trying to reroot my phone and it's is getting stuck on the spinning blue wheel. I even tried to reboot the phone and clear the cache partition

 

[furbearingmammal]

You'll probably have to manually root or you'll have to use SuperOneClick to get it to root again at this point.

 

[Ajmazin]

Z4 root is only a one time deal? Also superoneclick?

 

[furbearingmammal]

No, but the way it roots/unroots can be sloppy.

SuperOneClick -- you plug your phone into your computer and tell a program to root it and hopefully it works.

Or you can follow link 3 in my signature.

 

[Ajmazin]

Does that mean there are still traces of the rooting on my droid from the first time? Without having to use a computer, could I fix Z4? Or if I use superoneclick, is it for mac as well?
Thanks I appreciate the help!

 

[furbearingmammal]

It's supposed to work on a Mac but I have only heard of one successful attempt to use it, and no details, without using bootcamp or something.

Just follow link 3 in my sig.
