Folks,


I need someone on DL17 to test for root access. Due to the small community, I haven't heard if anyone is rooted on DL17.

While I can build kernels and get clockwork working for DJ20, for DL17, I need the stock kernel dumped, and for that I need root.



Steps:


1. Go to Index of /files and download rage.bin. (right click, save as)
2. Copy or adb push rage.bin to /data/local/tmp on your phone.
3. In adb shell:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rage.bin

Then
Code:
/data/local/rage.bin

It will give you a wall of text. Wait a few minutes, hit ctrl-c to close adb shell, then type

Code:
adb kill-server


Then do adb shell again. It should (hopefully) take you to a # prompt. Please report back.

Thanks.
