[01-05-11]-GingerBreak Root Exploit...WORKING on S-OFF

MarylandCookie · Apr 21, 2011

I have managed to S-OFF my Desire S and can confirm that GingerBreak v1.2 DOES work on a S-OFF DS.

Simply S-OFF your DS, install the app and run it.
You will get the following message:

"Not sure what happened here. Either the exploit failed or the reboot failed. Please reboot manually and see if you have SuperUser!"

Reboot your handset manually and you should have SuperUser installed with root access. However you will need to install busybox from the market manually or from within Titanium Backup.

Happy Rooting for those with S-OFF.

As long as you have s-on ita kinda useless, but it will give you root, its only temp though... But will give the devs some more working space, I do like!

I didn't even get temp root
I lost a few apps, I had to istall again

yeah i tried this one out earlier, doesn't get the job done yet, but it is at the earlier stages, only a matter of time.

Okay, I've tried the GingerBreak1.1
The thing is, it rooted my S-ON Desire S with 128mb SD card that I made as a Gold Card inserted. But frustratingly a lot of applications has been force closing.
I did make the 8G memory card that comes with the package into a Gold Card, too. Assuming that it will be successful...but unfortunately, it is NOT.

I'm going to take out of my mind the whole rooting of Desire S for the meantime. Then visit XDA after a month or two...

You should post your findings in the apps thread so that the dev can fix/modify it where necessary. Can you provide a logcat too?

"ChainFires" post on Logcat:

Chainfire said:
For logcat you need adb, but no special priviliges. Run from command line:

adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

and voila you have the logcat. Also, the output of:

adb shell ls -l /system/bin/su

and

adb shell ls -l /system/app/*uper*

both before and after attempting the root, will be helpful for me! Note that the the result may be "nothing" - that is not weird.

Here, I was able to take a screenshot

Even if it was able to root it, the phone is almost unusable. Syncing icon is always there. Can\t use the browser..etc etc

MarylandCookie · Apr 23, 2011

^You need to post it in the developers thread:

when you reboot it, is superuser app still usable?

Yes, it's usable. Granting permission to an application that requires root. But everything is a mess. It's not worth trying, guys.
I hope Unrevoked will going to come up with something soon

mikep1993 · Apr 26, 2011

new version of gingerbreak.

had anyone some luck with the new version?!

micoud · Apr 26, 2011

i'm trying...wait

no luck with s-on phone

baste07 · Apr 26, 2011

i don't think it's rootable yet with the newest release. NAND lock is still there and not touched by the exploit.

chwads2k8 · Apr 29, 2011

with 1.2 i can get root temp tho so that does work but apps go missing on mem card until i reboot phone but then lose root lol

chwads2k8 · Apr 29, 2011

update on previous post can confirm i installed set cpu titanium backup. can give apps permission. tried installin busybox and realised the mem card not mounted and cant mount so i gotta reboot lol which will unroot

Pacjonek · Apr 29, 2011

Guys, please check this:https://market.android.com/details?id=com.grrmode.quickreboot&feature=search_result . Theoretically, Android shell and process reses but not physically phone. Probably will not work, but check it out.

You have S-ON ???
