I was wondering if anyone has tried or if they know if gingerbreak works on the O3D. I have unlocked Rogers O3D and was thinking of trying it out
I'd love to know the same thing

you mean Gingerbread? right?
i think it'll be better if we wait for official 2.3.. when it arrives the developers will cook better ROMs (i hope)..
Wait until CyanogenMod comes to the O3D, it wont work right now since there's no ROM with it for the O3D, probably would start if you compiled it yourself but that's about it, it wouldn't be functional.
Im thinking he means the root app gingerbreak. The one used to root a phone via a app installed on phone. It worked for my ATRIX when I was on froyo.

ya i was talking about the root exploit. Has anyone tried it on the O3D
I think you'll find most people used superoneclick as that works just fine for root.
Doesn't gingerbreak come under super user as an option? sure i used the gingerbreak method to root my phone. can't remember where I got the software though???
Why would someone need to root the phone twice? Superoneclick works perfectly and the procedure is very easy and fast as hell.
Whenever i tried superoneclick on my comp with my nexus it always hanged. Most likely some problem with my comp so i wanted to use gingerbreak so root straight on my phone without the computer

Yeah, the only real option at this point is to just downgrade to 2.2.1. Since this is my first post, I can't post a link yet, but there are a few tutorials floating around already. After I get my obligatory 8 posts in, I'll be back with a few links.
im running 2.2.1 on mine it wont root with z4....
anything else i can use to root it
thanx for any suggestions

Again, you just have to downgrade back to 2.2. I think that 2.2.1 doesn't really have much to offer the Vortex anyways.
I tried super unroot something , its an app that u use. On your CPU, didn't work although it has apparently worked for others running 2.2.1 ****warning ***** never try to put your vortex in recovery mode you will lose everything as have i

Hi!
I bouhgt an Imito im7s tablet with android 2.1 installed.
I want to root it but I dont know which software to use.
I read about z4root but I dont know if there is another software.
Will z4root make permanent damage if it doesnt work?
What should I do?
Thank you!
Since noone answered... I tried z4root and rooted the tablet without any issue
Yea it wouldn't damage anything, it just wouldn't work. Cool that you got it working.

Are you sure this works for incredible 2?
Ok, so I'm interested in this also. Has anyone tried J-Birds method successfully? GF always complaining about bat life on the Inc2. Rooting would definitely fix that issue.

Lol, I asked that question for my Gf's Inc 2. I used the downgrade method in the forums and it worked like a charm.

It's amazing we were supposed to so called have our gingerbread like 2 months ago, has anyone heard anything? Because I am trying hard not to have to root my Infuse, and I don't really have a way to root it either but it is so aggravating being on 2.2 still especially with such a great device.

AT&T never said an exact date officially, unless you go by what some customer service rep said on twitter. They only said it would be this year.

Just root it and flash serendipity or infused, or dlev, or any other gingerbread rom.
It's very simple.

No way to root? Huh

+1 All you need to root is a comp,usb cable and your phone, rooting is quite literally one click (superoneclick)...unless you use HDMI religiously, the roms here are awesome gingerbread goodness even if unofficial.

I have a computer but its dead basically, I tried to do the oneclickroot on my moms laptop and it didn't work at all, tried on my cousin's computer and yet another fail so I basically gave up with the root and yes I have seen a lot of beautiful roms on this forum but I can not get this thing rooted to flash a recovery or rom
Random fyi I have rooted and flashed recovery/rom on only one android device (Motorola Backflip) and I haven't been able to root another device

dude, get the drivers from the samsung site, get heimdall 1.1, get visual c++ redistrobutable package and get the comunity kernel.
extract the kernel .zip and find the zimage
install the drivers
open heimdall
put the zimage in the kernel slot
put the phone in download mode and connect to usb
hit the flash button in heimdall
pretty easy

To make things easier on yourself, you should really find a comp, google "Superoneclick Infuse" and it should pop up step by step install instructions. (download link included)
Still, with the root/flash options, I too would like the official release from AT&T...the wait is getting too long.
Question -I assume I'll need to reload apps if I flash a ROM, correct?
I'll just leave this here...

I would like links to do so/.apk. I did this to my dell streak 7 rooted with the gingerbreak1.2.apk stock works great. Any help would be nice. I like to hack game and remove bloatwear plus the other user friendly features. I don't have a computer I chose my ds7 instead of a pc. Cliq XT was first device. Any help would+1 rep.
Wow. Z4root......i havent used that sense my Droid X days. Its extremely outdated. The dev never updated the app to work with new devices so it will not work on any device anymore. Universal root is even older then z4root so that wont work at all. And gingerbreak is only for 2.3+ devices only. So no none of them will work. Sorry.

Well put, greg!
Well gingerbreak worked on my dell streak 7 stock 2.2.2 froyo so no its not just for gingerbread 2.3
Just looking for root access. I don't want to change stock software.
Arcade shopper linked you to the rooting method of the phone. Its not hard to download and press a button. Because that's seriously how easy it is.just have to have a computer. I'm pretty sure none of the market apps work to root our sidekick. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

I don't have a computer and just about every device you can find a .apk root app. So I ask again is their another way other than using a computer to root. NO Computer!
You HAVE TO AND NEED TO use a computer to root the SK4G. This device has no app to auto root the device for you.
UnlockRoot
UnlockRoot worked great on my SK4G - very straightforward and very effective. More stable than SuperOneClick by far.
Is unlock root a computer program or what? I used super one click at but buddies house it worked fine. Simple to download the drivers for the phone then super one click extract files and click root bam done, but and app would have been so much easier.
