One Click Root App....

X10iUser · November 9th, 2010, 08:49 PM

It starts the process and reboots, but if it doesn't install Busybox, downloaded it from the Market and it should confirm the phone has been rooted.

What this does

It is an app you install (currently you must side load it, but it will be on the market once it's had some testing here on XDA), that has a single button that will root your device. Should work on ALL Android devices -- please leave a note if it works or doesn't work on your device.

How safe is this?

Should be 100% safe - nothing on disk is changed besides the root binaries, so if something goes wrong, simply rebooting the device should fix up any and all issues. Let me know if you find any bugs!

Changelog

V1.0.0 : Initial Release
V1.1.0 : Will now open the application settings page if USB debugging is not enabled.

Am I right in thinking this works on 2.1?

Tried and tested last night on my newly flashed UK generic 2.1. Like I said it reboots but hadn't installed anything, but if you get Busybox from the Market after it will confirm it's been rooted.

Way better than Superoneclick. Took 15 seconds. Once I loaded JIT ver2, I was having all sorts of issues trying to root.

Great Find!

There's a newer version of the app available on Android Market now which allows both root and unroot

Try it and see, and yes, rooting doesn't affect updating.

Did you click "install"? This works with 1.6 - X10Root.1.0.8.apk

Smoked · November 13th, 2010, 10:06 AM

Awesome thanks! The 1.0.8 didn't work with 2.1 but this worked like a charm.

KTP · November 13th, 2010, 03:26 PM

first time i tried to install busybox it said my phone was not nand unlocked although it was rooted, a couple of install attempts and it installed.

Alexp08 · November 23rd, 2010, 10:23 PM

hellsrage619 · November 29th, 2010, 01:49 AM

I have att and i really want the new version but att has no plan as of know to release it.So if i root it and upgrade will i void my warranty?

X10iUser · November 29th, 2010, 05:23 AM

Yes, but you can easily switch back when they do release it using THIS method.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 12:45 AM

Do you think its worth it?And does the one click app one you suggested work good and b that i mean what are the chances ill brick my phone?
What version can i upgrade to and whats some key features they give you?

Sorry if its a lot of questions but ive only jailbroken an ipod and thats rather simple except when i started to emerge my self in all the root files.
So i dont know how hard the droid system is.

EDIT:Also once i root it what do i do to upgrade to OS2.1 or does it do it for you?

You don't need to root to update.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 04:40 AM

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 04:45 AM

Run SEUS, PC Companion, or THIS.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 04:55 AM

Does it matter if i have att and that its a x10a?

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 05:02 AM

Use THIS instead as you can download the generic X10a rom.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 05:05 AM

Alright and whats the difference between rogers and generic?

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 05:12 AM

One's branded the other isn't.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 05:14 AM

Which one do i choose?never mind you said generic sorry this shits way more confusing then ipods.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 05:27 AM

Easier than a one click app, no.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 05:38 AM

K i was just curious 1 lat question (hopefully) whats the firmware directory?

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 05:42 AM

???

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 05:53 AM

it was in a post below the place you put the generic firmware.

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 06:04 AM

From the OP...

Quote:

You will see that there is a new Folder "firmware" the firmware files must be inside this folder!

...what's the problem?

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 06:07 AM

This is what he says
"Put the extracted firmware in the firmware directory (along with loader.sin)(10 sin files together)"
But in the flashtool folder i dont see a firmware directory.I just want to know were its at.

X10iUser · November 30th, 2010, 06:16 AM

Use this TOOL instead as it has the folder.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 06:24 AM

Will it work the same?
I only ask as one said gui a version and the one you just recommended was non gui.

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 07:01 AM

hellsrage619 · November 30th, 2010, 07:49 AM

Ok so i did everything ran the .bat file but i cant get my phone into flash mode i turn it off press the back button while pluging in the usb and hit enter the green led goes solid for about 30 seconds then the x10 turns back on.
What am i doing wrong?

Les Ismore · November 30th, 2010, 08:39 AM

I just rooted my Spica I5700 with Z4 Root. Worked as advertised. Very easy. However, the stock kernel does't include netfilter, so still no tethering (my main objective). I'm assuming this means I need a new kernel, or is there a way to add the necessary features to make it work?
