No. The zergrush exploit has been patched. Once an exploit is patched, it can no longer be used in any future Android version.

Zergrush is the name of this exploit. Zergrush will never work again. The team that created it may someday find a new one, but this thread needs to die.

Agreed.
Closing note: if you see hellions with blue flames when running this exploit, it's been patched. It wont work.

I will try this on my Gingerbread Xperia Ion LT28i Generic International, no unlocking BootLoaders, no flashing.... worth a try!
Anyone that might still find use in this exploit should have a look at DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit which uses the zergRush exploit

Hello!
We would like to announce the public availability of the root exploit we use in Revolutionary, named zergRush.
This local root exploit should be Android-wide, across Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3). However, this will not work on Android Honeycomb and up (3.0+).
Simultaneously, we're also releasing source code for this root exploit through our github.
The binary is available from here: zergRush binary.
The exploit source is available here: Revolutionary GitHub.
Usage:
You will need adb shell to execute this exploit. We need shell permissions.
Push the binary onto /data/local/ and execute these commands in a shell:
Code:$ chmod 755 /data/local/zergRush $ /data/local/zergRush
The resulting output should look something like this:

That is all folks!
Update 20-10-2011: zergRush has been updated to include some support for Sony Ericsson phones, updates for Samsung coming soon!
Update 22-10-2011: updates for Samsung phones, get the new download (or build yourself)8I have tried the most recent zergRush on my Vizio VTAB 1008 running Gingerbread 2.3.2 and this exploit did not work. Here is the complete output which I ran in manual mode.

[-] Bad luck, our rush did not succeed
I did notice that other earlier versions of zergRush had been tried on this tablet but none succeeded in rooting it.
Is it possible to modify the exploit so that it could succeed on this device? Or is it possible that this vulnerability has been patched and will not succeed at all?
Any help provided by anyone will be HUGELY appreciated. If this helps, I do have the Android source code installed and am able to compile this from source code as needed.
All other exploits have failed on this tablet. I have tried rageagainsthecage, gingerbreak, etc. It is difficult to believe that Vizio has made such a secure tablet with no exploitable vulnerabilities.
Thanks again... Getting desperate...
New version updated to fix this problem, check the GIT2Getting "[-] Cannot copy boomsh.: Permission denied" from the shell when attempting to run zergRush on HTC Amaze. This was the 2nd time running on this phone after a reboot. The 1st time was successful, however my wife pulled me away so I couldn't finish what I wanted to do with root. No, I'm not going to divorce her over this.

You may need to create /data/local/tmp first.
Also, if you've already ran this once, you might need to clean up this directory - remove boomsh/sh.2Anyone that might still find use in this exploit should have a look at DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit which uses the zergRush exploit1Reboot?
It worked in my HTC Chacha. Then I remounted System as rw. And then after a while(about 30 secs), my device reboots.
I tried it twice, after deleting /data/local/tmp/*
Is it normal? My device is S-ON.
Edited: I found it, it is because I modified the system partition, because after reboot it was as before.
Thank you.
