Just noticed there is an All Things Root section. If any mod paying attention could be kind enough to move this there it would also be greatly appreciated.

Done!

Sorry we didn't see this earlier :) [feel free to press the !Report /!\ button to give us a heads-up].

Don't know how much I'll be able to do. I haven't seen a exploit for 2.3.7 yet. I'm going to download the source to gingerbreak and see if I can make some sense of it and maybe tweak it a bit.

OMG, I think it was the Gingerbreak exploit source that I looked over before...my brain about exploded, LOL ;) :). The C-code for the vold timing exploit was pretty "out there".

Yep, here's the site where I got it from: C-skills: yummy yummy, GingerBreak! and they do say:

[This software is >1 year old meanwhile, most vendors fixed
the bug already. So its unlikely to run on new devices.]

Best of luck with your rooting efforts!

Good Morning, I found another website which supposedly has a root for it. I haven't had the balls to try it. Any body:

Sorry I cannot post links yet.

That root method is known to be fake. There was a different website that someone copied it from. It was supposedly a name change from a guide to an HTC phone. I can't exactly remember where... I think someone on xda tried that method and it didn't work

The scary thing about this link is the fact that it says P1, which I have to assume is referencing the Hardware Model, if you at About Phone in the android settings our phone is Hardware Model P4....I'm not ballsy enough to try and push this on my phone with out a proper nandroid backup and someway to restore it...if we had that we wouldnt need to flash that thing in the first place ;)

No worries. I didn't mean to sound d insulting. Sometimes I lack social grace. Not trying to shut anyone down.

I definitely appreciate everyone who is working on this root. It would make my life a lot easier to get to battery stats lol

★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ Anyone else notice the "Update from modem" option in the recovery mode...? My coolpad seems to enter odd "hang" upon reboot after selecting. Additionally, Odin plays nice when in recovery mode. Has anyone looked hard at perhaps a file signature "spoof"... ?buffer overflow or the like, Seriously this is getting personal at this point. If I have to break out the solider liquid nitrogen and electron microscope to get this done so be it... lol I'll post some actual useful info here later or this weekend. Uh-oh....if I'm not carefull I might actually contribute. Happy hacking. SiKk ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆ ★ ★ ☆
