I also downloaded from the market a program called Root check and it appears that i don’t have yet root. Can anyone help?

  69. If you brick your Sanyo zio or get stuck in a boot loop here’s what I did to fix mine.

    1. Install all the drivers needed for the zio (plug in the USB and micro USB etc or Google the drivers.

    2. Download the clockwork mod or open zio rom and find a way to put the openzio.zip file on the main directory of the sd card

    3. Put your phone into fast boot mode by pressing the call button and end button at the same time

    4. Follow the instructions on how to use the clock work mod and if you do it correctly the the phone will have an android logo with a circle around it and will eventually boot up to a new phone

    Side note I screwed up my sanyo zio by trying to install the jitter and busybox programs before installing the clockwork mod. Z4root does work for the zio. Now I have the zte score which I was thinking about rooting any questions email me at kooler_than_Jesus666@yahoo.com

  73. I have the Samsung epic 2 touch aka Samsung galaxy s 2 I also have a Samsung galaxy tablet and a samsung droid chargeI am wanting to root all of the devices but please not in the blog if someone is willing to help please contact me @ dodgeking4x4@gmail.con

  93. Hi Joe!

    Yes, Orange San Francisco/ZTE Blade is supported. I just tried! 🙂

    See: http://www.chrislowthian.co.uk/how-to-unlock-de-brand-and-root-the-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/1824/ or http://sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/android/how-to-root-the-orange-san-francisco-zte-blade/ etc. 😉

  94. I’m thinking of doing this, but my phone is on neither of the lists. Is the Orange San Francisco/ZTE Blade supported? Thanks

    Thanks.

  110. Roger: go to YouTube and type how to root Droid very easy and look for the one that says something about it being the easiest way then link will be in description

  113. Sounds cool. Any chance to find support for Motorola BackFlip (MB300) running Android 2.1, or is this not likely / ever going to happen? Is there an an alternative rooting method for BackFlip running 2.1? Thx!

    • Here you go: https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-motorola-backflip-android-phone/
      Also added it to our collective rooting guide at https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-your-android-phone-device/

  114. Hey there
    i have x10 mini and the UNIVERSAL ANDROOT doesn’t work with me 🙁
    When i press root 🙂 it gave me this : ” Failed ! No~~~Fu goo~~~ “

    • I have replaced the download link with the latest version available so you might want to try that.

    • Hi, I am trying to root my xperia minipro 2.1 version. I also have the same error as Graphoxy had. What to do now?

  115. I got the HTC hero 2.2. Does anyone know if this will work for Sprint HTC Hero 2.2 (last update)?

    • Hero running 2.2 still doesn’t seem to be supported officially as the comparability list mentions it will work only on 2.1 with Hero.

  116. sorry i didnt finish… all it shows is…. menu>setting>applications> (manage apps or development)

    • I don’t know what could be the problem there – it is supposed to show that. Try searching for and downloading AppsInstaller from the Android Market and use it to install the androot APK instead. Perhaps that will work.

    • ive tried that… it also said the same thing….. ive also tried to click in the usb debugging but it still says the same thing

    • Then I am not sure what the problem might be or I would have loved to help. Try asking on forum.xda-developers.com – the people there are most likely to have a solution.

  117. i am trying to root a sony ericsson x10…. when i go to install the androot, i get, INSTALL BLOCKED…. i tried to go into setting to click the unknown source, but the problem is, i dont see it… plz help…. i really want to root my phone….

    thanx

  118. Great job with this app!!! I actually just downloaded it straight to my Milestone and opened it from there and it worked nicely. Now, can I install a 2.2 rom with this root method? If so, how can I do this?

    • Will feature a guide for that shortly…please check back in a day at https://www.addictivetips.com/mobile

  119. when i try to install the app thru astro, i got the following message:
    “for security, your phone is set to block installation of application not source in android market”

    what do i do now?

  121. Don´t works in my HTC Magic. This software make all process, inform “root” sucessfull and don´t work…

  122. Now that I’m rooted where do I go from here as far as being able to modify some of the useless crap on my phone ?

  124. Android Handsets Not Supported With This Root Method Are:

    HTC Desire
    HTC Legend
    HTC Wildfire

    Wow, way to go, you’ve got no support for 3 of the most popular Android phones. Useless program.

    • if you did a little more digging you would know that there is another way to root the HTC devices , i.e. UnrEVOked.

      This is FAR from a useless program, it works on devices that use the Android stock ROM, which is applicable on a LOT of other models…but then again, you’d know that….;)

    • if you use this with the droid eris, just root using the temporary root feature. the normal root feature will brick your phone on the next reboot.

  126. Acer Liquid 2.1

    I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!I ROOTED IT!

    THANK YOU!
