[HOWTO] Easy Root 1.5.7 & 1.83 using GingerBreak

[jug6ernaut]

Simple Thread to show how to root 1.5.7 & 1.8.3 using GingerBreak

Requirements: SD Card(real sd card not internal)
WARNING: THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERAL SD-CARD, BACKUP FIRST!!!

First if you don't have adb you need to get it. Easiest way is by downloading SuperOneClick. DO NOT run superoneclick, you only want adb from it.

Next download GingerBreak.apk made by Chainfire, it can be found here

Next launch from command prompt move to where adb is c:/path/to/adb/ and then run the following command

adb install /path/to/apk/GingerBreak.apk

It will install it, next on your phone in your app menu browse to and click on GingerBreak. Click root. Your phone will reboot and you will have root .

I have personally tested on a stock 1.5.7 and it works!
I have not personally tested on 1.83, but it has been confirmed by many. Same procedure applies

If you want side loading use Gladenable.

So to follow up.

1. Get ADB
2. adb install GingerBreak.apk
3. Run GingerBreak
4. Root
5. If needed run Gladenable to enable sideloading if needed.
6. Done!

All credit goes to the GingerBreak team & Chainfire, all did was apply there work.

Or you could do this, Thanks kennethpen .

Does this work for phones that were never rooted/have sideloading disabled still?

 

[WarningSLO]

You can always sideload using Android Sideload Wonder Machine.

Oh, nice. That tool is way better than the other one I have...

Also, the OP doesn't mention needing an SD card installed but the other thread mentioned needing one. So do I need an sd card in?

Yes, you need an SD card (not the internal one). As best I've been able to tell so far, vold can only be exploited with an external SD card mounted.

Because of the risk of formatting the card, its recommended you either back yours up first, or use some old 2GB junker. You can get these in the impulse buy isle at your local grocery store.

Yes this is a full rooting method, afterwards you would need to enable sideloading through say GladiRoot.

I can do one better, I have a 512mb junker Hopefully that will work.

Just download the .exe that I made (it is in the OP).

So we don't need to flash the SBF in order to root now???
I have a completely unmodded Stock Atrix running 1.5.7, and this will allow me to root and do all the cool root type things that cool kids do these days?

correct

Nice! Just a suggestion to make it clear in the title that this roots system version 4.1.57 and does not require any sort of SBF flash. Maybe even update the Gladroot original post to link to this one?

 

[nrobin]

Good . I have MB861. It's success. Thanks jug6ernaut
