Froyo 2.2.1, 2.2.2 on Ally rooted (Updated 5-8-11)

[dougau]

Just thought everyone should know the program SuperOneClick will indeed root the Ally running stock Froyo 2.2.1
You can get it at XDA [APP]SuperOneClick v1.6.3 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App, Get UNLOCK code) - xda-developers Please follow the instructions on the download page closely and consider donating to the author if you find his program useful.

**Edited**

I have found a new App on XDA called GingerBreak APK to root and unroot Ally. It is run 100% from your phone like z4root was, and will root/unroot at the click of a button. It uses the newer GengerBreak exploit and works on Ally running both 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.

Thanks for the link. Hopefully I'll get a chance within the next day or two to give it a shot. That certain teenager will be very happy once again. Said she likes Froyo, but mad that it took SU permission away. LOL

 

[dougau]

Just remember to enable, disable usb debugging and plug in / unplug the USB cable when told to in the instructions.

 

[Ratchet]

Will do. I have no problems following directions.

I made one attempt last night to regain SU permission. Ended with a fail. Superoneclick said device was rooted, but indeed it was not. She has so much garbage running on the phone that I don't seem to have enough time to disable/enable/disable USB debug. Gonna do an operation cleanup shortly and attempt again.

New version available now also, same link.

Ver 1.6.5 was the one I tried yesterday with no dice. Still haven't had a chance to clean and retry as of yet.

 

[tefca]

1.6.3 worked fine for me with stock Froyo. Make sure you reboot at the end.

 

[Ratchet]

Per tefca, I gave 1.6.3 a shot and it worked flawlessly. Thanks guys, I feel alot less of a moron now. Have rooted TONS of newer phones and this particular Ally was trying to get one over on me.

 

[Ratchet]

It confused me as well. Phone was rooted prior to Froyo. Update notification was recieved and she installed the update. As expected, root access was lost. With 1.6.5, I first tried with debugging enabled. No error messages, but didn't have root. Initiated the process with debugging off and then switched on/off during the process. Still wouldn't return root. Tried with it 1.6.3 and it went through just fine. Who knows...

 

[tjp419]

cant find v1.6.3 anyone know of a direct link to download??

 

[dougau]

Its now up to 1.7 here the link is on this page at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

 

[tjp419]

i've tried 1.5.5; 1.6.5; and 1.7 havent had any luck with rooting. it either loops or cant seem to disable, enable, disable usb debugging fast enough, though usually as soon as i do disable it the whole program freezes. found this .wmv on rooting ally, haha looks so simple when he does it....

 

[Katosepe]

It didn't work for me. Hung up on waiting for device. Tried following the instructions on unlockr.com for this problem but nothing worked. unfortunate...

 

[kaefbaml]

so has anyone successfully rooted their device int his forum, im about to do it to my dads phone, i rooted with revoked for the incredible super simple 1 click, hoping i can find something similar for the ally.

Another way to root, this ones a little more involved though [GUIDE] FroYo 2.2.1 for Root Users! (Updated 3/3/2011 at 3:40 pm EST - NOW EASIER THAN EVER!) - Android Forums

 

[kaefbaml]

I'm not trying to do a mission to get the ally rooted its just so I can give my dad the wireless tether in case he ever had to use a laptop or just to help someone at the local coffee shop with no wifi. I was at office depot contemplating if I should buy something was on my phone using the bestbuy app when I remember duh wireless tether one of the laptops on display. Sure enough it worked was cruising their browser instantly.
