Today i will share another released GingerBreak exploit (credits to The Android Exploid Crew), which is meant to attain root access on GingerBread. This specific exploit may work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.
Installation
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled
- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted. I use 4gb sdhc which didnt work untill i change to default 16gb sdhc which was preinstalled with my dell streak.
- Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it. must be install on phone.
- Open the APK, press the root button
- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
- Make sure the Superuser app is install and working.
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) - often this works
