Gingerbreak?
Does the Gingerbreak.app HAVE to be on your SD card for this to work? I downloaded it to my internal memory, and installed it from there. I just updated to 4.1.83 using the prompted phone update (what is that method called in Android-speak?, and what is the method using RSL-Lite called?...I'm new to this whole thing).
I'm assuming I lost my root since I updated (duh), but I haven't touched the thing since.
If I don't want to lose everything on my SD card, I should back it up right now to my computer (before running Gingerbreak)?
I guess what I'm asking in summary is:
1) For Gingerbreak to work, does it have to be installed from the SD card? (i.e. should I go back, uninstall it from the internal memory, and reinstall it from the SD card?)
2) After I run Gingerbreak, assuming it works, all I need to do to "get back to before" is copy and paste stuff back to my SD card?
3) And for my own personal knowledge, what happens if I can't get the root to work? What things won't work on my phone? I've already looked at Applanet, and I see that it won't download anything. Will that functionality be restored once I root? What options do I have if Gingerbreak fails?
This whole rooting thing makes me nervous! I rooted 1.57 from stock (had to flash back to 1.26...the whole nine yards), but this is my first rodeo as far as doing an firmware update is concerned.
Any help/attempt to ease my concerns is much appreciated!
Cheers!
