Brilliant! All the more excitement added on now

 

I am about to give it a go, wish me luck.

Cheers mate.

Edit: All good, thanks again.

 

I am still running 1.6, but will be upgrading when generic uk firmware is released. My phone is rooted now, but would it be wise to de-root it before upgrading?

 

Ah good, i'd thought as much but what with the apparent troubles people had rooting 2.1 today I didn't want to brick the phone
Cheers

 

Mine goes no further than Installing superuser.apk...

EDIT: Nevermind, I unplugged USB then went into settings->applications and realised that I didn't have the box ticked allowing none market apps, ticked it, plugged USB back in and it worked

EDIT 2: Although it said it had successfully rooted, and superuser is installed, no rooted apps will work

EDIT 3: Working now after installing Busybox

 

where can i find these file mate? where is that folder?

Copy these three files from the Android SDK tools folder...

adb

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

thanks...

...opps, okay so i need to download the SDK file.... replaced the files on SOCR folder, ran it, tick/untick the USB debug, but i am still stucked on the loop ratc....

pls help...

 

Thanks mate, i did that, the whole 23MB file, but i will try your attachments and copy paste and see if it works...

... nope. still the same mate...

when i untick/tick the USB, i have three options
Connect your phone (update phone and manage account)
Install PC Companion
Charge the phone

so i always select Charge the phone.. but still nothing....i also installed the PDANet already.
how hard can it be?

 

What is the SOCR folder please? Can't find it....

Found it - didn't read properly and missed superonelink at the top.

 

Thanks mate, i'm rooted since yesterday using SuperOneClick, had to use the other version though but all went smooth without probs.

I installed the PDANet though then ran SOC. Without it, i was going in loops for quite sometime.

 

This was a pain for me, but what you should do is connect the phone, get to your USB debugging screen on the phone (under Apps/development), toggle it on.

Do not close that page on your phone.

Then just open up the superuser program, click root.

My phone just went crazy at this point (connecting, disconnecting, PC companion pops up). Exit PC companion, click on the connect to computer, then toggle USB off and back on.

I tried this about 10 times with no luck and then once I toggled USB off/on in the span of 5 seconds, I was rooted. I am having some hang up issue with titanium. It is removing apps, but it's getting stuck - so I have to use an app killer to kill it, then re-open and go to the next app to delete.

 

I downloaded superoneclick the latest version I didnt even needed to replace the the files and it works 100% u just need to wait 10 min and it works all by itself in my case ..

 

rooted matey cheers

 

Worked a treat, i copied files as per instructions.
the superoneclick never actually said complete, just seemed to hang on the installing superuser.apk, but looked and it was on. the rest was simple, Now rooted and all SE apps removed.
cheers

 

is it easier to do than it sounds? i dont wanna start playing with it and brick the phone. lol. is there a tutorial video i can folow to make it a little easier?

 

Just download z4root from Android Market and with one click you are rooted and it also has the option to unroot too.

 

excellent thanks

 

that program worked great. phone is rooted and it was painless. thanks

 

Glad to hear it mate...with the use of Titanium Backup you can either remove or freeze all the unwanted apps

 

i need to read up to see what i can get rid of. with my luck ill delete everything and have to start again, lol

 

Let's do it the REAL easy way... download z4root from the market... and it's done... Worked perfect and now i have titanium installed and working. No more playing with debug setting
