   Works great on my Motorola Droid Pro. Keep up the good work

2. yotex October 14, 2010 at 9:06 AM

   • comancsm October 15, 2010 at 12:11 PM

     did you activate DFU mode?

     • Thomas March 23, 2011 at 8:06 AM

       what is DFU mode? How to activate, please?

4. Arthur October 17, 2010 at 7:45 PM

   Wouldn't Samsung void our warranty if they find out we've rooted our SGS?

   • comancsm October 18, 2010 at 12:50 AM

     There is allways a risk of loosing waranty with any root / unlock of any phone

5. Russell October 19, 2010 at 1:56 PM

   I have a HTC Desire running android 2.2 I have never done anything like this before and im a little apprihensive of it.I want to get rid of preinstalled apps on the phone and open it up for non market apps.Will this work for my phone?

   • comancsm October 19, 2010 at 2:02 PM

     Read the article carefully, and you'll see that in order to root HTC Desire you need to download the NAND lock fix

6. pk878 October 22, 2010 at 10:09 AM

   I tried to use this on my Samsung Captivate, i get waiting for device, tried it in DFU mode, using 2 different usb cables and on 2 different computers same result. am i missing something

   • comancsm October 22, 2010 at 3:39 PM

     Are you using any apps that can prevent your phone from entering idle ?

7. badmash October 22, 2010 at 8:32 PM

   I just signed up to your blogs rss feed. Will you post more on this subject?

   • comancsm October 23, 2010 at 1:53 AM

     Of course. Every time something new comes up you will find it on our website

8. kenobicode November 16, 2010 at 7:57 AM

   I've tried using unrevoked 3 but can't seem to get it to work. Also, I've read on multiple forums how to get HTC sync off of my device but still to no avail. Obviously this didn't work either... Any suggestions?Sincerely, Sad HTC Aria user

   • Cosmin Coman November 16, 2010 at 8:59 AM

     That's weird... My girlfriend has HTC desire and unrevoked worked great for her phone....I'll look into that problem, just leave a comment if you find your answers in the mean time, so other people can share

   • areskks January 21, 2011 at 11:35 PM

     • Anton Raphael January 18, 2011 at 4:39 AM

       Hello, I just bought the Garminfone from T-mobile and I was wondering if this program will root my device? Also where is the download link on the page or where can I get the direct download. Thanks...

     • Cosmin Coman January 18, 2011 at 9:48 AM

       I dowbt that it will work for newer devices like yours but you can try it. If it doesn't work it'll give you an error saying that your device is not supported. There is a link to XDA forums, where you can download the software.

10. Mustafa November 19, 2010 at 5:19 AM

    it says: Pushing Recovery... (2920448 bytes) and coudnt push in an hour :s M sure m doin somthin wrong.. any hlp!!

        thnx

15. Ben December 27, 2010 at 9:56 AM

    Hi I'm running a Samsung galaxy S Orange branded handset. Is it worth me rooting before 2.2 becomes available later this month? (i hope) I have never hacked a phone before but would like to improve the performance. If so will i need to back up my contacts and apps etc? Thanks

    • Cosmin Coman December 27, 2010 at 10:00 AM

      Rooting your device won't boost its performances. It will only allow you to install lagfixes, custom ROM's and non market apps which will boost your phone's performances. Rooting only gives you full access to your phone. You can browse our Android section to see what custom ROM's and lagfixes you can install after you root your device

16. eric December 30, 2010 at 1:33 AM

    Will this work on garminfone 2.1??

17. Kevin January 11, 2011 at 2:46 PM

    It keeps looping with my Xperia X10 2.1. It says I have to disable USB debugging, but when I do so, SuperOneClick doesn't respond anymore. How do I fix this?

    • Cosmin Coman January 11, 2011 at 4:19 PM

      That's the thing. You need to have USB debugging activated for this tool to work..

18. Pepe Begines January 12, 2011 at 1:06 PM

    Hey! Says "waiting for device" on the lastest version of the program; on a Huawei U8110. If it needs to put in recovery mode, i don't know how to put it in recovery mode!!! PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!! Thanks...

    • Cosmin Coman January 13, 2011 at 2:14 AM

      Every device has a combo of keys that you need to press to enter recovery mode. Ussualy volume up + power button, but Google it to be sure.

19. michael January 26, 2011 at 10:07 PM

    I hey I have a samsung transform and its brand new... and my friend told me to root my phone so is it worth it and can it screw up my phone

    • Cosmin Coman January 27, 2011 at 12:36 AM

      It won't screw up your phone. Worst case scenario this won't work

20. samir January 28, 2011 at 9:20 AM

    I can't even download the file from xda develpers, it says I need to be a member so I registered but it then says I need at least 10 posts??!!Help anyone?

21. Jax January 28, 2011 at 9:57 PM

    I have a Superpad 10" Flytouch. It had 2 USB ports. I plug in a USB cable with two male ends and the superOneClick just says Waiting for device... USB debugging is ON. Can you help?

    • Cosmin Coman January 29, 2011 at 8:51 AM

      It may not be compatible with your device

22. RH January 29, 2011 at 3:20 PM

    I never hear anyone with a good root for Droid Increadable. I understand the warrentee is voided, but dont want to brick the phone. Id like to find a root that is easy as in one click, that if it dont work, it wont brick the phone, it will just not work without damaging anyting. Is this the one for me? Is it good with DI from verizon running 2.2? If anyone can help with this info please let me know thank you

23. Cosmin Coman January 30, 2011 at 6:54 AM

    This should work for your device, but i don't think anyone on the web woulg guarantee that you don't brick your phone. There are too many variables and nothing is full proof. I don't think this will brick your phone but it's not a gurantee

24. michael February 3, 2011 at 2:55 PM

    Hi um I finally tried this and it didn't root when I clicked root? Well it did but when I tried to get apps for root users then it said I didn't hav root access so will it hurt it to click root again??

    • Cosmin Coman February 3, 2011 at 11:54 PM

      You should be just fine if you root again

25. michael February 6, 2011 at 9:11 AM

    Hey I think I'm doing something wrong cause when I root like 30 min later then it dissapears some how..... like I have root then 30 min later I dont

26. Gonzalo February 14, 2011 at 11:52 AM

30. zobo1942 February 19, 2011 at 4:21 PM

    I recently purchased a cheap 7" Android 2.1 tablet, but the 'stock' applications are crap - and most of them force quit as soon as I try launching them. So, I installed another couple of apps I downloaded, and they work fine - but, I'd like to get rid of all the nonsense that came with it when I purchased it, and install the stuff I want on it.Here's a spec sheet :https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B51BDQlvhkZ1NTljOWY0ZDAtZGZlMC00NjhlLWIzMzktMDJhZDkzNTQ4MTY0&hl=en&authkey=CJrsqLUG&pli=1Can this machine be 'rooted' using the above method?

    • Cosmin Coman February 20, 2011 at 3:27 AM

      Give it a try. If it won't work your device will not be accepted

31. shreyas February 20, 2011 at 5:51 PM

    Hi... I just bought a samsung galaxy 5 GT-I5503 I tried the superoneclick root but it says "automatic version check failed" have i downloaded a different superoneclick version for my device or what? if so..which one for android 2.1 eclair...?

32. shreyas February 20, 2011 at 6:04 PM

    previously I was using v1.6.5 now, using v1.5.5, I got it rooted ...but i am unable to see any application in the superuser application list.....I am struggling to get rid of a few applications that came with the cell...the ones that might be in the phone memory... ....do tell me if i am not going the right way.. :)

33. Andrei Alexandru February 21, 2011 at 2:13 AM

    you are on the right way :)

34. shreyas February 21, 2011 at 6:21 AM

35. Jeff Curee February 21, 2011 at 8:46 AM

    Just got the HTC Inspire from ATT. Android 2.2 . Will this work for me? I want to tether the phone...

    • Cosmin Coman February 21, 2011 at 12:49 PM

      i don't think so..because most of the HTC phones require a specific root..but you can give it a try..

36. Andrei Alexandru February 22, 2011 at 6:06 AM

    guys you can try root any Android phone. No harm can be done to your phone. If something goes bad just reboot your device and you are fine.

    • Andrei Alexandru March 6, 2011 at 3:13 AM

      no danger..if something goes wrong just reboot the device..but probably if one click root doesn't support your device it won't accept it..so relax and give it a try

46. gudge March 5, 2011 at 2:11 PM

    sorry for multiple posts, something went wrong, my posts did not show up til now.

60. L--e Free March 27, 2011 at 3:34 PM

    "Phones affected by NAND lock:" What about HTC Legend? Has it got it?

61. Carl March 27, 2011 at 9:30 PM

    This super one click is absolutely hopeless, its doesn't even work on windows 7, as soon as it starts 'daemon' the program crashes and thats all i get everytime i try, i have tried as many ways as possible, fastboot mode, standard usb connection with debug mode etc and i get the smae thing every single time......
