There is an app called z4root that used to be on the market and it might still. You could try that.

z4root doesn't work with the Fascinate anymore... Only way to root is with a PC

Is there a one click rom install method?/ flashing.

Sent from my X10a using XDA App
no, there are no roms available at this time. Bootloader is not cracked
Ok, but is there such thing as that or is it absolutely necessary to have a pc.

How to root vibrant

Anyone know a simple and easy way to root my vibrant 2.2.1 froyo, z4root 1.3.0 didnt work for me....roms, kernals, all that stuff is way over my head, just need some clear and simple easy to follow instructions to root, any help would be appreciated

Super one click root.
Search on google, first link it comes to xda.
Use that. You need to have a computer though..
All you do is enable usb debugging connect usb click root it pushes update.zip to your phone
Then it installs super user app on your phone.
Then click test or something and on your phone superuser should ask for permissions
Z4root app
Simple..install the apk and root straight from your phone without need of usin usb and that

So i said factory reset will work bro, if you reset the phone that wiill make it work

SuperOneClick works, but it was also the exploit in all those bad apps Google pulled and your pc will think it's a virus.
If you use the ALT METHOD in the noob guide you can have a leaked froyo+root, and then flash a custom rom or stock froyo + root.

Go to Settings-> Applications and make sure you enable Unknown Sources. Then go to Development and make sure USB debugging is checked. Reconnect the phone via USB then check the flashtool again, Root button should be available after that.
Let me know what happens.
Alright thank you 10000 for everything dude you are awesome +1 when I grab my pc for sure!

Ok. Instructions are simple. Unzip the zip and run Autorpedo.bat. Simple. But thing is, I don't know if it works since I don't have a Photon...
