New to the forum, but attempting this OneClick tonight! Thanks Droidxcon[WARN]Gingersnap (along with all other Android modifications) is experimental software and while I have made this as safe as possible, differences in operating environments and natural disasters can cause your device to become unusable. Please make sure you understand this important fact before downloading.
Disclaimer: Neither myself, Android Central or any other member of Android Central are responsible for any disasters that occur as a result of any hack or modification you perform on your device. Your use of this application is at your own risk![/WARN]
With that out of the way, I'd like to introduce you to the Gingersnap Root Utility. Gingersnap is a one-click root utility, much like SuperOneClick or Universal Androot.
The nitty gritty: Gingersnap uses a modified version of the famous GingerBreak exploit to automatically root your Android-powered device and installs the necessary files to maintain a permanent root status.
Pre-use Requirements:
1) You need the .NET 4 Framework. Not the Client Profile, the full .NET 4 Framework.
2) For some reason you need the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable installed. Don't ask me why.
3) You need proper drivers for the your phone. Your video card doesn't work without drivers and neither will your phone.
4) Before running this Utility please make sure your phone is in debugging mode
Instructions:
Credits:
- Download and unzip Gingersnap-V1.2.zip to anyplace on your computer
- Connect your phone to computer in debugging mode
- Open Gingersnap-V1.2 folder
- Double click Gingersnap applications icon
![]()
- press GO , sit back and relax

GingerBreak exploit: C-Skills (Sebastian)
Autoroot shell script (com.sh): Droidxcon, YAY ME!

I had this working great on build ED1, but now I OTA'd to ED4 and it unrooted. I tried using the GingerSnap and doing it by hand/ADB push with no success. Any way to root ED4 without having to flash the ROM?
I'm hoping this works. I've lost lots of sleep trying to root my Replenish![WARN]Gingersnap (along with all other Android modifications) is experimental software and while I have made this as safe as possible, differences in operating environments and natural disasters can cause your device to become unusable.
