Universal Androot

Yep same one I have on my phone which I have not used yet, LOL but not sure what version it is as there seems to be 3 versions on the XDA forums, the one I have is 1.6.1


Just saw this in the market, anyone wanting to root your phone, look for 'Universal Androot' in the Android market.;)

Not sure if it works, but just a heads up

Ok, I found out how to download the app. Now, my question are...

What does "superuser" mean? - it is required to run root programs...gives you full control of your phone

What exactly is a "soft root"? you can experiment with a few apps...when you reboot...you will no longer be rooted. you can also use the widget to toggle between root and unroot

Will my phone fully be rooted by using this app? YES.....as long as you use the full root not soft root opyion

What does "generate log in/sd card" mean? :thinking::thinking::thinking:
Has anyone had any issues with this app? i haven't ...worked fine....but that is just me.....

Well, I tried booting into recovery and then pressed home. After that, it went black and then showed a pic of a phone with a red triangle over it. It basically froze my phone. I had to take the battery out in order to get the phone to power back on. It still works, but now I'm scared to try anything else.


sounds like you need to flash a recovery image... Maybe try the rom manager app to get it flashed?

I did everything in the video and the same thing keeps happening. It keeps telling me that there is an error when I try to flash clockwork mod...

Are there any settings I need to configure in order to get this to work? Come on guys, someone's gotta know why this isn't working for me.


I rooted the old fashioned way, I don't really know much about androot. Sorry dude
