Anyway to gain temproot for now?

---

Hey,

I was wondering, is there anyway to gain temproot until we have full root? Am I right in thinking that temproot allows programs requiring root access to work e.g. AdFree?

Thanks

There's an app called gingerbreak which works on the S E Arc (it roots anything on Gingerbread) so I wonder if it will work on the Sensation?
I'm waiting to get mine at the moment...
Hopefully tuesday

Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?

1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.

2. Save on your computers desktop.

3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)

4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.

5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.

6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.

7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.

8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.

9. After installation completes, open the APK.

10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?

11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.

12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!

13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.

In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.

Yeah, but does it REALLY work?

Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.

Yeah, I'm not really willing to believe it works either mate.

If the guide has some proof (i.e. a bootloader photo) then I will try it. If not, it's all just based on theory, but nothing practical.

Somebody has to be the guinea pig.

Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.

It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********
