4. download and extract superoneclick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682
5. make sure that adb can see your device. From a command prompt change directory to the place that you installed the android sdk android-sdk\platform-tools and run "adb devices" you should see your device connected.
6. run superoneclick.exe make sure that you select GingerBreak from the exploit menu
7. donate me.


I am running kernel version 2.6.32.9

sorry josefchrist i pulled a stupid my fault thanks for the help

Hey what was the stupid? I may be doing the same thing. If not, I can't get this to work. It just dies at step #5, no error code, SOC freezes, and I have to task kill it. I have no AV enabled. Here's my setup:
- running win 7 Pro x64
- pantech drivers installed
- development is enabled
- adb can see device
- SOC set to gingerbreak
- there is no mem card mounted or even in the device (it gets further if there is... step 7 and dies... maybe file system is inaccessible?)

What am I missing?

i have noticed an error message that comes up on the side thingy, it says "mount: are you root?" and ive come to the conclusion that its having a problem gaining root access to the phone... thats all.....

    Rooting Pantech Crossover - Easiest Way

    1. Download & install File Expert from the android market.
    2. Go 2 settings, then applications & Enable unknown sources & usb debugging.
    3. Download & install Terminal Emulator from the android market.
    4. Download & install Gingerbreak.apk using Google.
    5. Pun Gingerbreak on the microSD card & install it using File Expert.
    6. Open Gingerbreak & click "Root Device"

    The phone will restart & is now rooted
    Open up the Terminal Emulator, type "su" & hit enter. Choose the allow option to get Superuser Permissions

    4 convenience, I uploaded the all apps needed. There is no possible way of this not working & messing up your phone. You don't even need a pc do do this.
