Root Using Gingerbreak--Solved

L

Hey all,

I'm trying to run the one-click Gingerbreak but when I click the apk on my phone (from ES File Explorer) I get "problem parsing the package" error.

Currently I odin'd back to Eclair after the horrible Froyo update. Do I need to be on Froyo to use the Gingerbreak? Is that why I'm getting the parsing error?

FWIW, I'm only wanting the root for wireless tethering. I have quite a bit of travel coming up and plan on wifi'ing my iPad to my phone for email and such.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Solved. Used the Clockwork Foryo one-click. Thanks.
 
After some more reading, I'm a bit confused. I've read that this is only for 2.3 phones, but since Epic has only officially released Froyo...well...what's the deal?
 
If you using epic you want the one click root 2.5.5 over at xda I can't give ya a link from my phone but its at the top of epic development at xda, not hard to find. You should go with the one that has clockwork 3.0.2.5. If you don't want clockwork I'm not sure where it is but I believe there is one that roots without clockwork.

Would that be this one?

Looks simple enough actually.

One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector! - xda-developers
Click to expand...

[MOD][One Click Root]ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5[RFS & EXT4] - xda-developers

I'd suggest this one, you can can use that one I think. If your running stock you DO NOT w want clockwork 3.0.0.6, that one is only for ext4 file system. The on I posted will work on rather both, will also work if you decide to root later. Its a sticky at the top of development says clockworkmod 3.0.2.5
 
Also, warning. If it doesn't work the first time DO NOT REBOOT. Try again til it finishes. There is a spot it stops and says rebooting adb. DON'T UNPLUG just be patent and wait for it to finish.
 
Yup, that's the one I found and used. I upgraded back to Froyo then rooted using the Clockwork EC05.

Worked great and I'm good to go. Thank for the advice!
