Root SuperOneClick Root -- Anyone try it?

God I wish that would have been out when I rooted. I think I spent a total of about 5 hours getting my phone rooted. But I sure felt a huge sense of accomplishment when the little ninja dude showed up on my phone asking for Superuser permission the very first time.

Oh well, I'm still happy they came out with an easier way. I just hope when 3.0 rolls around that they figure out how to 1-click root faster than it took them this time. I remember when 2.2 came out how many people said they would hold off on upgrading until they figured out how to root it. At that time I had never rooted my phone so I didn't know what the big deal was. I thought, "why in the world would you wait"???

Lol, well let's just say I'm enlightened now. When 3.0 rolls out I will be one of those people holding off on doing it until there is confirmation that rooting is possible. It just wouldn't be worth loosing all the cool ass root features of this phone, I don't care how great gingerbread is. All I've heard about it so far anyway is that it's going to have an all new UI, and they're going to concentrate on the gaming abilities of the phone... those are two things I can wait around for a few weeks/months if need be before upgrading. It's not like when I had 2.1 and the promise of a more efficient OS surrounded 2.2. I simply could not wait until they finally released it.

And as many people who have said they hate froyo and wish they could roll back to 2.1, I'm definately not in that boat at all. I have been enjoying every bite of my froyo. Very much worth the few initial bugs I had to iron out of it (it took formatting my SD card before everything fell into place) in the beginning.

Froyo + root = nirvana!!!

can't root and I tried again with this method.

Killing ADB Server...

OK

Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

OK

Waiting for device...

what am I doing wrong,..I am following all the steps exactly.

Make sure to grant it root access, its best to go to settings, application, check screen on while charging so you don't miss the prompt to give it access.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I have a couple of questions. I downloaded the motorola drivers, and the root program last night. Do I need put them in seperate directories or in the same one. Also when I ran the update program some other program popped up and said my 20 of my drivers were not up to date and then wanted me to pay to complete. I deleted everything and ran my virus detector. nothing found but that kinda threw me. I am wanting to root but a bit nervous. I would like to tether without having to being raped for another 20 bucks a month.

thanks

By the way guys, version 1.6 and above of SuperOneClick doesn't include busybox, which is necessary for a lot of root programs (such a Titanium Backup). An easy way to install it is to search for "BusyBox" from the market. It'll install it right from your phone as long as you have root. Worked well for me.
