1) Partition your SD Card to have first partition as fat16 and second ext3 [this tutorial assumes you have this setup exactly as stated]

2) Boot in Test Mode with Call+Center+Power

3) copy root into your tools directory of the sdk

4) adb push root /system

5) adb shell chmod 0755 /system/root

6) adb shell /system/root

7) unplug usb, remove battery, reboot into test mode when instructed

8) adb shell

9) /system/bin/btld_testmode

10) /system/root

Excellent. It work!. Just do exatly the steps above. Thanks for putting all this info together.

FYI... Samsung post the source code of the samsung moment.

Is this temp or persistent root? For temp root I don't think partitioning the sd card is necessary or at least I didn't partition it when I temp rooted my Moment.

Was a long time WinMo user, I was stuck with a Moto Q9c on sprint for way to long. I'm still stuck with sprint, but got the Moment in hopes of having a badass Android to start with.
Night and Day compared to my Q, the root is key though, custom rom's were so easy on the Q.

soooo im a newb to android, same question as johnbarry3434.
does it stick?

I've got two Moment's(thanks sprint for shipping me 2 and charging me for neither) ?maybe one for test purposes?
Anything I can do to help the rooting process, please let me know

Sorry guys but I'm very new to this android. Only had my phone for a week now. Is rooting like flashing a custom ROM for the Touch Pro?

Does this require seperate adb drivers for the Samsung phone?? If so where can I get them and are there any avaliable for Ubuntu???

Hi guys,

I have just gotten myself a Samsung Spica. Can I use this guide as well? Is there a ROM-update tool for the Spica?

I'm really n00b, so any help is appreciated :)

I need someone with this rooted phone to contact me, I need to get some data from it so I can work on something for it.
