Try with Super One Click latest version,:) I have heard it can root gingerbread samrtphones too using gingerbreak:confused:.... BUt, I haven't tested it. You can try for sure but as always Do it at your own risk.:D
:)
 
Thanks for this, I'm about to root for the 1st time and need some info:

I am using a galaxy S (from Korea) on a gingerbread.vg26 (firmware 2.3.4)

Can I mess up my phone is this is not the right file?

a colleague of mine had to go back to the costumer service because of something like that...


thanks a lot

You can't root GB 2.3.5 with this method... Search for 2.3.5 specific method/thread... :)

Hey guys.

I thought i post this because when i upgraded to gingerbread i didn't knew how to root it and SOC (SuperOneClick) didn't work for me.

So who upgraded to gingerbread and wants to root it follow these instructions :

1. Download a file called upd_1.zip from here .

2. Put this file to your main(root) directory of your SD card.

3. Turn off your phone and boot in recovery mode by holding Home button + Power button untill it shows you the recovery mode menu.

4. There you can't use the touch screen. So you have to use the Volume up/down keys to move up and down and home key to select. Select "Apply update from sdcard" and select your file that you downloaded upd_1.zip.

5. Wait for it to install (It took about a second for me to install it ). And then select "reboot your device" from the menu.

And there you go your device is rooted and you can see the superuser icon on the menu .

This worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps you gingerbread users.

It's not apply update from SD, the option is :

Install Zip From SD .

Why don't you try more simpler and clear instructions? Just follow the link on my signature below and you will get an opportunity to know a lot more, far more than just rooting.

I am sure you would get much help if you visit HTC Merger thread/forum. We are galaxy mini users and unlikely to know about HTC devices. :)
