I am having trouble rooting my phone. Crying I have never rooted my phone before. I recently update to froyo through the tmobile website.


 I downloaded z4root and followed the instructions. I first tried temp root and the process froze mid way im assuming. It vibrated several times and went back to the normal homescreen as if i had just hit the home button. I noticed busy box wasnt installed so i tried z4root again but this time i selected the permanent root and the same thing happened. My phone vibrated several times and nothing, it went back to the homescreen. I googled why this was happening and i read that i should reboot phone and try again and that it should work the second time. But that did not work either. I then just restored my phone and deleted z4root off my sd card.

I found a different root option from the unblockr website. I followed the directions again. I right clicked on "vibrant one click root' and ran it as an administrator. I selected root and when i was in recovery mode i selected reinstall packages like it said. (usb debugging has been selected throughout this whole time)
Well when this was happening, it said:

reboot system
reinstall packages
delete all user data
formate internal sd card

so then i have to hit reboot because it does not finish the rooting process. Im assuming im doing something wrong since i am a noob at this but cant figure it out and i dont want to brick my phone. can someone please help me. pweeease Happy

I'm a semi-newb I guess, but I'm having the same problem. I rooted my phone a few weeks ago through the super one click method and it worked out fine. However, I unrooted it because I sent it out to have the GPS repaired (it works fine now by the way). However, when I got it back yesterday, I could no longer root it. The version 1.65 I had used earlier does not return a success message. So I upgraded to the latest version, which will not find my phone (although it is in USB debugging mode). So I gave Z4root a try and it does the same thing. I've been trying to find an alternative, but haven't found one yet.

Z4Root will not work with 2.2. Use The SuperOneClick found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 When you use this program select the  rageagainstthecage option. If you plan on flashing a custom ROM I would suggest using Odin to flash back to stock 2.1 then root... there can be some problems with clockworkmod recovery when coming from 2.2.

Ok, I finally got Super One Click to find my phone (it was a driver issue), but it still won't root it properly, it says that there is no space available (there's plenty, Sammy just restored it to default before returning it). Here's what happens, could you help me out?

A lot of people are having problems rooting the official Froyo. I would suggest using Odin to flash the stock JFD 2.1 then root and flash a custom 2.2 ROM. The custom ROMS that are out are so much smother and faster than the official Froyo.

I have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 updated to Froyo.UVKB5 and lost my root after updating to Froyo. Now I can't seem to get it back no matter what I do.

What is the latest on rooting this phone after updating to Froyo?

Thanks
