I can only speak from experience. I have no knowledge about z4root.

I use super1click on 2.2 (easy as pie) - can you not use that?

thought I would add...My Phone is the Galaxy S GT-I9000

Ah,
I wondered if this had happened to anyone else.
Don't know about 2.2 but when I rooted my 2.1 I downloaded the apk, installed then run and had exactly the same problem, it just did, well, nothing.
For another reason I restated (soft reset) the phone and then tried Z4 again and it worked straight away.
If you are rooting so you can apply a lagfix then permanently root it, I did a temporary root and when I applied OCLF it all went fine until the restart then it bricked.
Turns out OCLF needs root access at start up.

That's very true. Sorry to hear you bricked your phone.
Hope the other person heeds your advice.

Super1click worked for me...make sure you right click and run as admin though if you choose to use it!

Thanx Lisa but it was no big, took it back to VF and they flashed 2.2 onto it.
