[Q] How to root stock gingerbread

[zzmomo73]

I tried flashing a gb boot loader from ics and it didn't work so I flashed back to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I tried rooting my phone like I did when I was on froyo but it didn't work..I can't find any other methods.. any links that could help?

You have to use a kernel swap method, our flash Boogs kernel which has a root option in cwm.

You flash the fugu root mod with Odin, which is a kernel.
Then flash the stock kernel with Odin.

You could also install the Corn Kernel and use the CWM options to install root. From there you can choose whether you want to keep running the Corn Kernel or flash back to stock.

If you're just going to go back to ICS, you don't need root

I use Odin one click first then. Odin 1.7 to flash speed kernel use CMW from it to Flash GB or ICS ROMs.

Or better yet, Odin to KK4, let boot until your passed the 3G screen, Odin the Talon kernel, boot to CWM recovery, and then flash your selected ICS ROM... (don't flash the ICS kernel first... it will cause problems... I found out the hard way)

if you don't want to do kernel swap or any flashing you can install superoneclick on you PC and then connect your mobile and click on root button on superoneclick and your crappy will get rooted

I rooted mine crappy running gb with soc about 3 months ago
