Root Is this legit?

[skora]

Brand new, haven't even had the Ally for 2 hours yet. Upgrading from a palm Pixi Plus.

I found this to see if the Ally had gingerbread. Being I haven't seen it anywhere else like here (seems to have the biggest community) I have my doubts.

EDIT: Link pulled due to its worthlessness.


What are the risk trying this? Can I brick my new toy or try it because there's always a recovery option?

If this is garbage, I'll pull the link next time I'm on so no one gets bit.

Interesting! Id like a more educated member to take a look at this :'

Hmm I haven't heard of this before. I'm leaning towards too good to be true if none of our awesome ROM developers here have said they are working on anything Gingerbread-wise for us, but I suppose anything is possible. I certainly won't be the first one to try installing it.

i tried it it failed install error code 0

This has to be too good to be true, even though i don't have an ally anymore i'll just dig in the zip cause im bored.

Now i'm no developer (publicly anyways) butttt the following lines are in the build.prop

# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.id=HONEYCOMB
ro.build.display.id=sdk-eng 3.0 HONEYCOMB 104254 test-keys
ro.build.version.sdk=11
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=3.0
ro.build.date=Wed Feb 16 19:26:18 PST 2011
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
ro.build.description=sdk-eng 3.0 HONEYCOMB 104254 test-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=generic/sdk/generic:3.0/HONEYCOMB/104254:eng/test-keys

# Honeycomb SDK for Nexus S
ro.sf.widthpixels=480
ro.sf.heightpixels=800
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=254
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=254
ro.sf.lcd_density = 120

Theres even a section that says "#system.prop for generic sdk"

Seem's like an Honeycomb SDK port for the Nexus S
That alone leads me to believe its fake, but i'll wait for others to chime in

One word: LIIIIIIEEEEESSSSS

Once again: LIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

Thank you.

Definitely fake

Oh, its android 3.0, from a nexus S, says the build.prop, will leave your phone unbootable, and bricked if you do other dumb stuff too.

It's the same link the OP had posted. The file is fake, its an Nexus S honeycomb SDK port. See my earlier post in this thread.
