A buddy of mine is looking to root his SF I was on the Incredible Forum eariler and saw someone asking about Z4Root. I was wondering if anyone has tried it with an SF or not?
I've tried it on my Fascinate but can't get it to work. A few people on an AndroidCentral forum have reported SF success. I'm still hopeful. I don't want to do a full-root until after Froyo rolls out. I'm still pretty new to Android.
I'm still super-new to Android (~1 month). I'm easing my way into this I'm still learning all I can about the mod/hack methods before I make any big changes.
Update on the z4root: I just got it to work on my Fascinate. I disabled (not just killed) Lookout App virus scanner, and used a task manager to kill all running apps, then immediately ran z4root. The process completed successfully in about a minute. Thanks to the author of post #38 on an XDA forum (I'd post a link, but I don't know the etiquette of linking to another forum from this one).
glad it worked for you...but :sigh: on phone root apps are..............
I know, I know. I'll be in your camp before long. Thanks for the advice!
I have tried to do my Fascinate 3 imes now with this app and it doesnt seem to work. Just sticks at the running exploit screen. FAIL
As soon as I saw this thread title I knew you'd be in hereuse the regular root method in the sticky at the top of this subforum

Big and bold just like you like iti wish i had the power/ability to block all conversations regarding 1 click root apps...they are my #1 hot button topic when it comes to android.
that was one of the things i liked about this phone....COMPUTER FOR ROOT
Big and bold just like you like it
not yet
There now Im killing you
Yeah honestly when I reset to stock a few days ago it was faster me for to just re-root since I had all the files and drivers on my PC already I than it would be have been for me to go to Market and DL a one click app which may or may not actually workLOL!
I've always done it the hard way... there's never a one-click option until I've already rooted my phone.

LOL I love you tooSaps you are turning this thread into my android nightmare
It didn't work for me. It mainly uses an exploit found in 2.2, so I believe it doesn't really (or shouldn't) work on the SF.
There is nothing wrong with doing a one click root bro, I know its not your cup of tea but if someone blows up a $600 phone they are out not you. I do agree with you that a one click root will bring people in to the rom world that don't know what they're doing.
