I have used z4root and got root access. I wanted to know if I need to keep z4root installed or if I can remove it.

Once you gain root I'm sure you can delete it. And for future reference you may want to post questions in the general section to avoid getting flamed. Happy flashing :-D

Thanks I hope to hear some more responses, as I want to be 100% sure.
Yes you can delete it once you are rooted. I've used Z4root several times now and have removed the app every time.

You can delete it if you want but it isnt in the Market anymore. Google told those guys (also Ryans OCLF dont have the root part in it any longer) take them down.
But you can get the .apk HERE or HERE
I also found the update.zip root on the cyanogenmod wiki web site under vibrant. So if u ever need to reroot and can't find anything u can use that method.

That will only work with the 2e and modified 3e recovery, but not the real 3e. You will need the Super One Click root application for that.

Yes. Search the dev thread for the keyword "engtools3.zip" My guess is it's in the same "One Click" thread referenced earlier.
That will not get you a good OC kernel, though. You might want to replace that (the boot partition) on your stock phone as well

Thanks I plan to ROM but first I would like to back up my ROM so I can put it back on if I would like

Busybox oh busybox, what are you busybox?
What is busybox. I know I have it, but never knew what the heck it is.
Someone care to explain what BUSYBOX is.
I need the original one click root app. It was taken off the market. The one you can root w/o PC. I had that on my 1st vibrant.
Any help please!!

Please use Google before posting threads like this.
Google will show you the xda thread where you can download the app. Also, if you're running any 2.2 Rom, the old root methods no longer work.

Got the same problem went back to 2.1 and then installed the update.zip and worked perfectly . I think you need to Odin back to stock and root the phone probable u won't able to root in 2.2 as far as I know

Superuser does not root your phone . In fact your phone must be rooted to install Superuser from the market . Just download Z4root and put the Z4root.apk on your phone then install it .
