has anybody used Z4 to root an admire? Its an app that runs right from the phone. may try it on my friends phone. also i noticed Madteam Moca has a one click simular to the one posted here.

When I first got my phone, I tried it. It does not work, all it does is freeze the phone which forced me to reboot it. It was an old version of it though but going by my experience with it, I wouldn't recommend you use it.
 
wouldnt recommend using any other type of rooting method that isnt posted up here and is confirmed to work. can cause issues
 
thanks bud. i used the super one click on my admire. i heard about z4at xda they hadnt tested on an admire yet. wondered if anybody here had. they say its safe .it runs as an apk on the phone you are rooting. which is nice if you dint have acess to a computer. the z4 is said to work on quite a few phones. also curious about the madteam one click. the files seem almost identical they threw in a few extras it looks like.
 
super one click in the stickys is really the only tryed and true method on stock admire roms. the new root method by pg and kid allstar is for ff18 update.

z4root uses rageagainstthecage exploit written by Sebastian Krahmer. it works by basically spawning a number of "adb shells" to the max your device can handle, then making one more and causing it to crash and force that new shell as root. closing all the other shells and just leaving you with a rooted shell :)

however this was patched with new adbd binaires in gingerbread and thus got backported to many froyo devices

got a link to this madteam one click?
 
ah ok they use zergrush, again doesnt work on this device and another exploit written by a well known team :)

the problem with most one click solutions is they take someones exploit repackage it up with them not taking credit, but not really giving credit to whom did the actual hard work.

for the admire you owe thanks to djrbliss :)
 
ah ok thanks again for investigating the madteam file. now i used the gingerbreak on an optimus m. does gingerbreak use the massive shell spawning as well. and the updated binaries to prevent z4 success does anybody know how they stop the root? do they kill the shell sessions?
