My Glacier is unrooted since it was Froyo (currently OTA Gingerbread).I'm interesting of ROOTING my phone.I know I should downgrade to root my Glacier.Also I know before I gonna root my device,i must check EMMC chip of my device.So I searched how to find EMMC chip & got those ADB COMMANDDS.

cat/sys/devices/ platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

cat/proc/kmsg|grep'mmc0:0001'

But the problem is none of these working!Reaultr is always NOT FOUND! Please tell me HOW TO FIND EMMC CHIP OF MY UNROOTED GLACIER..

Download terminal emulator from the Market and type in

cat /sys/class/block/mmcblk0/device/name

Then hit enter.


Edit: There is a space between "cat and forward slash". No space after that.

Ok, since your on Gingerbread, youll need to downgrade to froyo.
Use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Then you'll need to root it once your on 2.2.1

I know its a lot but make sure you read all of it before you actually do it.
Oh, and GFree is a package that uses exploits to gain root. It also sim unlocks. I believe there is a youtube video on how to use GFree, it looks sketchy but follow it lol.
Here is the link for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4B4y0CQUDo
There is a part two so find the second part.
Hit thanks if i have helped :)

I was scared of this comment

I'm not here to bash anything, so don't take this the wrong way, but DO NOT USE THIS METHOD. I did the same thing after a while it will turn off your phone randomly and brick it. You probably won't believe me but you'll see, it has happened to a ton of people. I just don't want people to make the same mistake I did. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD.

    Downgrade and flash away.

    By the way, after I'd flashed my millionth or so ROM I decided to check my emmc chip. I have the "bad" one, but guess what? No problems.
