Have anyone try this one?


Froyo is a bit of a pain to root! Well, this fixes that.

What this does

It is an app you install from the market or by side loading, that has a single button that will root your device.

How safe is this?

Should be 100% safe - nothing on disk is changed besides the root binaries, so if something goes wrong, simply rebooting the device should fix up any and all issues. Let me know if you find any bugs!

The new temporary root option works on 99% of available Android devices - no list yet of which specific devices are incompatible with the temporary root option - I am still trying to find out.

Here is the list so far of known compatible and incompatible devices for the permanent root option. I haven't actually tested these myself - I only have a Galaxy S device - but this list has been created by reports from users.

depends on the phone. z4root works on backflip/cliq/xt just fine for perm root.

Many thanks? that mean it's 100% tested?

Many people have used z4root to root their cliq/xt/backflip. You can upgrade to 2.1, if need be, then use z4root to root the phone. Should be fine. I rooted my cliq in December or January of 09/10 with shx so I never used it on my cliq but my shift used it just fine for temp root.
