Ok, I am running Android 2.3.3 now after I had to unroot my phone to take to Sprint. I ran a program to switch the S:ON, then reflashed the factory image. The Sprint store of course update my phone while it was there and now I have 2.3.3. I have looked and looked and keep seeing that Gingerbread can not be rooted. I am sick right now. I miss my super phone and want it back. Tried to roll back to 2.2 and have not yet been successful. Any suggestions?

[zedomax]

@TSmitty001 see the new method at my site, every evo 4g/3d has been rooted/can be.

[MERGATROYDER]

This dude is wasted space on the youtube servers. 

[zedomax]

@MERGATROYDER This only works on S-OFF, only on people who have rooted previously then unrooted, not for S-ON!

[11pandadog11]

THIS ONLY WORKS FOR PREVIOUSLY ROOTED PHONES!!!, you cannot root a 2.3 device yet that has bootloader 2.16 as it isn't unlocked. The only reason this worked for him is because he was previously rooted and had s-off. If you have s-off then you can do it, if not you are out of luck until devs find a workaround.

Thumbs up so people don't wipe their phone, pl0x!

lmfao@ Root Medicine. i wonder how many idiots actually thought "I gotta get me that bottle!"

[xxxsno0py]

Sounds like he growing weed.

[253tbone]

LMFAO.....how many can you grow and do you need a Med card.

[job4ataco]

How often do i water it?

[ltmoto1983]

i get error 140

[artemadorous]

I can't fathom how cool you must be. You probably have 15-20 people in your entourage at all times just lapping up the cool that drips off of you. Don't forget to remove that butt plug before trying to hit on the boys though.

[MrAlphaKennyOnee]

Were can i get the RUU file?

[TOUGHNERDTOYS]

HAHAHAHAHAHA



[squidaudio]

Bless you- goes in tight.

[lopy78]
