Root So when are we getting root for this one :) ?

or a different mount for system. does this phone have touchwiz or is it stock android? whats the errors when it runs?

How do I check for mountpoints?
I don't believe this is stock Android.

Here's the output when running this:
"starting adb in wait-for-device"
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
"
[*] Triggering core dump..."
[1] Segmentation fault app_process /dev...

Ive tried that out for rooting my cricket vitality and it doesnt work. I installed superuser from the market and installed busybox cause a root app requested me to install and even thou it did ask for superuser permission it still didnt work. If anyone know any other way to root this device, please let me know. I know there isnt any roms out for this yet but hopefully soon there will be.

I have never rooted anything - so this will be my first. 2 questions...

1. is it worth the effort - I really would like to squeeze a bit more oomph out of this phone

2. is it hard to brick the phone? Don't wanna screw it up...


It is definitely worth the effort. When I first started rooting it was with the g1. Ever since then Ive been doing it with every android I have ever owned.

BTW, idk if your the same person but if you are, hope you get other peoples opinions too also. Dont know if your the same person on facebook earlier today....Im Jose
