Pre-rooted odin tar


what makes this different is this is pulled from a phone taht has root already and thus when you flash it, will get root ;). so no kernel involved, i was hoping for it cuz this is a big download :/



as for how to flash it you ask? well hopefully someone here is a former indulge owner and can work with us ;)

here is the pit, and a copy of odin, hopefully it works for you guys worst case we gutta find a newer version :p

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FLASH
open up odin
make sure re-partition is UNCHECKED
power your phone off
press and hold the following Power+DOWN+Home
press volume up to continue
you should see downloading
plug your phone into the computer and you shoudl see a yellow com number appear in teh box, like so

load the pre-rooted factory into pda slot
click start!

once you have it flashed you have root!

all credit goes to bliss and rangekid15 for the files



Make sure to double check the checkboxes, if your odin doenst look like the picture then you are prolly wrong
 
no, this leaves your data intact, all this does is flash system. leaving your stuff alone.. i wanna say the dump isnt complete in that it has easy wifi from metro removed, but its either that or you guys can wait a few more days for root ;)

and yes two coms are fine, should only take 5-10 mins if it gets stuck (which it prolly will more than once) use a diff cable,m diff usb port pull batteyr retry etc etc... you cannot brick using this :)

worst case is you have to reboot and flash it again

just for teh love of god do not repartition, if you do let me know how much you want for your phone cuz its gunna be useless to you
