How to root DL09

**DroidXcon** · 01-13-2011, 06:35 AM

So you got a shiny new Build and you are ready Here are the three options that i know of to root. If you know of any others please let me know.

1.z4root.- has been removed since i havent heard anyone that it worked for , if you have a fix for it let me know
In its place try this method this will not only give you root but will also setup Clockwork recovery

send it to your sd card or email it to your self and save to your sd card.

On another note I had to do this all manually with cmd, pain in the *** but it is done rooted once again. Now I just need to figure out what lagfix I want.

**afbar1114** · 01-13-2011, 10:07 AM

what is a lag fix

**afbar1114** · 01-13-2011, 10:11 AM

is z4 root a "root" or do i have to do the one lick method as well

nope z4 root will do the same thing if it works right, I personally like the one click or DIY. The lagfix is a new kernel, voodoo is very popular right now I have the new simple one that does not bloat tests or so they say, works great for me.

**curley** · 01-13-2011, 10:54 AM

I cant get anything to root right now. What am I doing wrong. I follow the one click, reinstalled the drivers and still device not found after the reboot.

**rgm1266** · 01-13-2011, 11:06 AM

MIne has the same error. Follow the one click method. It finds the device and says installed superuser. Shutdowns and reboots. I unlock the phone and it gives me an error that reads "error..device not found".

Any suggestions??

**DroidXcon** · 01-13-2011, 11:38 AM

Guys if one click or z4 dont work try the 3rd method, i know its kind of a pain in the **** , but it will get the job done.

yep that is what I said also , lol seems dl09 only likes people typing or copy paste to get superuser rights.

i tried downloading the Z4.apk from the link you sent and when I try and open it on my phone it gives me an error saying there is a problem parsing the package. Noob here, so any help would be appreciated.

are you trying to download it from email or browser?

**dhdmart** · 01-13-2011, 12:10 PM

I downloaded it from Dolphin browser, the .apk file is actually on my SD card, but when I try and install it. I get that error

what are you using to open it with, Astro? try Filedroid pro , installer, or install it from the market

**dhdmart** · 01-13-2011, 12:21 PM

Maybe that is why I am having trouble installing it. I am not using any kind of installer from the market or otherwise. Is this usually required to install .apk files?

its not required, i am using the file program that comes stock, but sometimes in some phones you have to try a different method,,,if those files dont work ill place the original site maybe downloading it from there will yield a different result. but try one of those explorers from the market

Cool, thanks buddy much appreciated

**dhdmart** · 01-13-2011, 12:50 PM

I was getting ready to try the installer you referred (filedroid pro), but have not done so yet, just saying Thanks for the suggestions. I will give it a shot and update you on if it works.

**dhdmart** · 01-13-2011, 01:07 PM

I tried File Droid Lite and Astro, and niether of them worked......I may try and redownload the file and then see if that changes anything. Another question though, my phone is like extremely slow after installing the new update, is anyone else complaining about this issue?

**mdionis** · 01-13-2011, 01:07 PM

If using one click method please note the following as it worked for my phone.

edit the start_root.bat

modify the line: call PMSLEEP 60

to: call PMSLEEP 100

Also when the phone reboots during the first step unplug it wait until android boots back up then plug your usb back in so that you can force the ability to mount the sdcard.

What was happening in my case was the batch file was calling the pmsleep.bat file to quickly before my phone was totally booted up.

Hope this helps for those having problems.
