Free your phone, once again. Successfully tested on Gingerbread
(2.3.3) but might also run on Froyo and Honeycomb. If it fails
there, some offsets and indexes need to be adjusted which is
left to the reader.

failure or damage. Make sure to read the README file carefully!

[This software is >1 year old meanwhile, most vendors fixed
the bug already. So its unlikely to run on new devices.]
[Update] I replaced the tarball with a new version to fix
some glitches while parsing vold.fstab. Should now also
work on the GalaxyS. Thx to Chainfire.

Thanks indeed !
Can you tell which device you were waiting for now ?
Excellent !
Thanks for the work !
I just had to insert a blank sd card to make it working.
Will this work on a non-rooted G2 ?
Works on HTC EVO 4G
Um....What is this exactly?
Hey, I found over at xda someone that used your exploit in a .apk. Just figured I'd let you know it works on the DX on .588. AWESOME WORK!
Just thought I'd let you know it works on DX on GB .588 . Thanks!
Thanks, work great. Nexus One (AT&T band version), fireware 2.3.3.

Works on HTC Desire S :-) nice job.
Doesn't seem to work on Samsung Galaxy Ace. Was on "[*] vold: 0087 GOT start: 0x000153b4 GOT end: 0x000153f4" for 20 minutes before I killed it.
Thanks so much!
premission denied
trying it on HTC Desire (CDMA) ran it once, it reboot my phone but no SuperUser installed any ideas
Good job!
How to use this exploit
Works on Wildfire/2.2.1 (Froyo). However, it doesn't always work on the first attempt and it helps if you keep the phone busy (e.g. permanent touch-screen inputs) while doing it.
Unfortunately no R/W access to /system is available (-> yaffs error messages), would be nice to have this permanently.
I'm sorry, because I was wrong in My last message. I forget to chmod the file :$
The exploit works like a charm in HTC Wildfire! :D
Great work! Thank you!
Worked on 2.3.3 Droid X
Thunderbolt 2.2.1 Stock
It is not working on Galaxy ACE. Appreciate if anyone can help me to root Ginger 2.3.3 on Galaxy ACE.

Does this work on Wildfire 2.2.1? Is it temp root or permanent root?
Temp-root confirmed on HTC Wildfire 2.2.1 (Software number: 2.22.405.1)
Worked on LG Optimus (P500), firmware 2.2.2
Works on Samsung Droid Charge (pre release device, but likely release hardware/firmware)
it's not working for Wildfire, just temproot.... http://twitter.com/#!/unrevoked
The exploit works on HTC Wildfire 2.2 ?? i haven't root permissions
What's the difference between temp root & permanent root on wildfire?
Work on Acer Iconia A500 Honeycomb after altering the code to detect the proper device id, more info on that can be found at xda.
Also tested on LG Optimus S with Froyo
Many thanks gingerbreak 1.1 worked on a Motorola Atrix from Mexico, Telcel carrier.
Regards.
Just tested on a Nexus One 2.3.4 and unfortunately it just hangs
was ist der Vorteil, wenn mein Nexus S gerootet ist?

It hang on my Nexus One 2.3.4 as well :(
Worked for me on an LG Vortex running 2.2.2. Thanks so much! If I weren't broke as hell I'd be sending you $$$
Worked on 2.2.2 froyo on the OG Droid
works like a charm via APK-mod from XDA-Dev site (search "GingerBreak APK root for GingerBread").
On AT&T Atrix MB860 Build OLYFR_U4_1.5.7 w. Froyo 2.2.1
You have to work this apk w the new 2.3.4 update in nexus s man your appk work great on 2.3.3 but we got the update and lost the root
Thanks! Worked on LG Optimus S with 2.2.2
how to install this?
Hi! It seems the new Samsung Galaxy S has a new vold with a relative fresh patch:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-security-discuss/browse_thread/thread/1ac1582b7307fc5c
The exploits for vold (e.g. GingerBreak) is not working :-(
Hi,
The HTC Incredible S ROM 2.3.3 can not use GingerBreak to get root, it blocked when running this, and I found out the pid of vold does not present in /proc/net/netlink, any workaround?
Thanks.
Does it work with Gingerbread 2.3.4?
Thanks for the great code the dev team is offering ! Unfortunately, this did not work for me :( .
For those for who the Gingerbreak does not work (as me, on Galaxy S i9000), here is another method to root your phone : Root any Android version with Odin without losing any data
It is not more complicated than the Gingerbreak to use, and it works everytime.
Hope it will help.
To bad it does not work with 2.3.4 any more.
PLZ CAN N E ONLY EXPLAIN IN SHORT HOW TO TAKE UP THESE FILES????? PLZ EMAIL: falcony_boy@yahoo.com
Worked on LG P509 v2.2.2 FRG83G build

It's Gingerbreake v1.2 i'm running.
Tried on DROID X2 2.3.3 and failed. Only shows blue screen when I open same. Any suggestions?
Worked on optimus S 2.2.2
Now what can i do with root?
Hi. I'm also having problems with gingerbreak. stays on the screen that says its rooting forever, doesnt reboot or anything just stays in the rooting screen. I'm trying this on the galaxy s2 using the 1.20 gingerbreak with usb debugging enabled. please, any help here would be fantastic! Should also point out I'm not using a pc but rather downloading to and attempting root from the phone. cheers in advance.
Will not root LG Optimus M unning latest update 2.2.2
Gingerbreak APK v1.20 has been confirmed on Skypad Alpha. Also I must say I looked over the code and wow I just wish I could hack like that :)
Do it work on LG g2x?
I wish this would work on the Vizio Vtab1008, sits at the GOT Line waiting for root endlessly.. That tablet is getting no love from anyone, including their manufacturer

Hey guy Iam a newbie to this but I have a stock EVO 4g running 2.3.3 I wanna root don't know where to start please help I've tried this but was having trouble any suggestions
worked PERFECTLY on my LG Optimus V (SuperOneClick was not working for me)
Thanks a bunch!!!!
New Vizio Tablet Rooted Well Before Launch > It's a lie. GingerBreak does not work on Vizio Tablet. In fact there is no one out there with a Rooted vizio Tablet . The pictures one see On the web are of the same one. Doctored screen or maybe rooted pre-order version. But I can only tell you has something to do with how the SD card mounts.
I think its not working on Sgs4G... Have any one of u guys try it? the firmware update is 2.3.5
Not working on Defy+ with 2.3.5. Stops with vold: 1209 GOT start: 0x00014350 GOT end: 0x00014390 and never finishes.
It worked on my Alcatel 890D but with some apps only. Overclock still needs root. Well its been a great help anyway so thanks to the developers :-)
Are you able to compile the gingerbreak-binary for x86-platform?
This would be very useful for different Tablet's and for GoogleTV.
It wont work for my lg optimus s n e suggestions?
Hi I have LG Swift Me p350. Many people use these smartphones and used Your software to make root rights. But after upgrade software to Android 2.2.2 2.6.32.9 it doesn't work. I tried find resolution for this problem but I found only the same problem like main in Polish forums and English. I hope that U will think about this case in next version Your software. I can only say that other programs didn't work too.
Thanks for good job.
I need help using the gingerbreak v1.2 apk. I installed it on my pantech breakout but when I click root device it takes more than 10 minutes. I give up at around 30 minutes. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't work on Gionee Pioneer P1, Android 2.3.6.
It just keeps exploiting for the whole time and when I rebooted my device (I made it exploit for 15 minutes just to make sure), There are no signs that my device was rooted (No supersu) I tried using rootchecker and it tells me my device isn't rooted.
Pleaseee I want my device rooted... so bad
