Root Trouble with z4

[Mr. Boom]

I use z4 for temp root on my Incredible, and until a few days ago it worked great. But now I can't get it to obtain root. I noticed there is a market update. Would that have anything to do with it ? Is anyone else experiencing this?

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app... don't think many people use that app anymore.

 

[Mr. Boom]

Yes, i have. It has worked perfectly for temp root until a few days ago. The only changes i have noticed were a market update.

Some people have said that sometimes it only works right after a reboot or the dreaded factory reset.

At this point you are probably out of your warranty and might be worth it for you to permanent root.

I would just suggest using unrevoked. I was in the same situation as you. I loved the z4 temporary root, especially because it was very easy to unroot if I needed to. But after z4 started to become unreliable, and actually deleted all of my pictures (I don't know why it did that. I was just doing a temp root like I had done a thousand times before and it shut off in the middle, and when I rebooted, all of my pictures were gone), I decided it was time to do it the right way. And I don't regret it. Unrevoked is quick and amazing, and it's easy to unroot if you need to.

Can you keep the stock ROM, and run it? I only use root for a few apps, and like the stock.

You do not have to change your phone in any way when you root. You will just have the option to.

Took the words right out of my mouth
