In his case the exploit is not printing the typical success message (that is why I gave him a link to the ZergRush thread), neither reboots but he can check with "su" - he may have gained root eventually

Shouldn't brick it, but ANYTHING like this potentially can brick your phone.

Im not getting anywhere with this , im unable to push zergRush
i get "cannot stat 'zergRush' : No such file or directory.

Files are in the correct location.

I am also unable to adb remount , that gives permission denied :rolleyes:

    SEEMS TO WORK ONLY WITH VERSIONS THAT GOT THEIR UPDATE BEFORE NOVEMBER (EUROPE SHOULD WORK, ASIA/INDIA I DO NOT KNOW!!!)

    IF THERE IS A NEW TEMPROOT EXPLOIT AVAILABLE IT SHOULD WORK FOR NEWER VERSIONS ALSO

    okay now more in detail

    first you have to know that you will loose all data on your system, please backup bevor doing anything!!

    what you will need:

    - misc_version http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/trac/project1/wiki/misc_version

    this will change your version information on your desire s later

    - zergRush https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush/downloads

    this will give you temporary root privilieges (so that you can change the version number)

    - phone

    - chargecable

    - adb-shell (see this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272595)

    - windows os on your pc

    - RUU http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
    --> please notice: if you have a branded device, use a branded RUU to downgrade!!

    1. Connect your phone to your PC in debug mode (Set option in settings (application --> developer)

    2. unzip the downloaded files in a folder (e.g. c:/Users/yourName/Downloads)

    3. run the Terminal (Windowsbutton + R --> cmd) and change into the folder where the files are (change folder with 'cd')

    4. now type to the terminal (every line is one command!)

    adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
    adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
    adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
    adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

    now type
    adb shell
    cd /data/local/tmp/
    ./zergRush

    --> now adb shell closes and restarts, instead of having a $ you have a # which means root

    5. now type

    adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6

    --> this will change your version information

    6. now you can doubleclick on the privous downloaded RUU and follow the steps. it may tell you from going down from version 2.xx to 1.xx but it is possible.

    7. phone reboots and when it is up again you should have android 2.3.3 hboot 0.98.0000 S-ON

    8. now just download revolutionary from http://revolutionary.io and create a beta key and start programm
