Attention

Looking for anyone with a Droid Charge willing to help me test a Semi Auto Root for it. It will only require typing 2 commands. Please PM me and ill get with you tomorrow if you are willing to test this out

Please pardon my ignorance, as I'm new to the Android community (currently deciding between one of the LTE Android phones vs. the iPhone), but what does rooting actually do for you? Is it to run apps that aren't from the original marketplace or does it give you other controls over the phone?

Thanks.

I will be doing this when I get home.

All of the above.

Google it and read up on it. It's great, but not for everyone.

The same risks as if you do it manually

Ooh, this is great news. With Samsung's commitment to posting all their source code, I'm really excited to see what the community can come up with. If someone can port a Nexus S ROM to it (stock Gingerbread on an ext4 filesystem) with everything still working great, I may just give up waiting for the revised Bionic. I'm willing to bet that the right kernel and ROM would have this phone running as fast as anything dual-core is likely to do in the near future, in which case the screen may be the most important consideration.

The phone will then reboot and you are now rooted

You could replace the "adb shell" command in the script with the follow and maybe make it fully automated.

adb shell /data/local/GingerBreak
adb shell /data/local/com.sh

adb shell /data/local/com.sh

I tried, but what happens is when gingerbreak is done running it leaves you in adb shell and it wont execute the last command.

But i have been working with someone and we are working on something to fix it

 

[imnuts]

What about "adb shell /data/local/GingerBreak && /data/local/com.sh"?

ill try it but gingerbreak always seems to hold at the prompt

 

[choppaj247]

i need to play around with a rooted phone and see if its worth it. My old jailbroken iphone was a blast.

 

[Cruiserdude]

If we see CM7 on this device before I hear anything about the Bionic, I won't be able to resist.
