  67. <p>Ok so here it is :) one note before hand please do not replicate / repost this guide (by all means use the method / code / files in other places) but due to things outlined here (<a href="/2011/04/28/some-thoughts-on-guide-reposting/">http://androidroot.mobi/2011/04/28/some-thoughts-on-guide-reposting/</a>) we would rather this just be linked in other places to keep information up to date :)</p>

  68. <p><span style="">UPDATE 4/5/2011: New blob released! This blob is intended for latest firmware update (V8.2.3.9) and fixes the camera/bluetooth issues! Use V4 for previous updates! If you use V5, replace all occurrences of CWM_BLOB_V4 with CWM_BLOB_V5 in the guide below.</span></p>

  124. <p><br>[Guide]</p>

  125. <p>1. extract all of the files from the zip to your adb folder</p>

  126. <p>2. run "adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/"</p>

  127. <p>3. run "adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/gingerbreakBB"</p>

  128. <p>4. run "adb shell" followed by "/data/local/gingerbreakBB"</p>

  129. <p>5. Wait up to 10 minutes for gingerbreak to do its stuff, once its done you will have SU (#) symbol</p>

  130. <h2><span style=""><strong>6. DO NOT CLOSE THE SHELL.</strong></span></h2>

  131. <p><br>## Note if you do not get the # su symbol the temp root fail, reboot and try again from step 4 ##</p>

  132. <p> </p>

  133. <p>## This Part Of The Guide Is Installing CWM and insecure boot image ##</p>

  134. <p><span style="">Update: As some people have pointed out, md5sum does not exist on android, so the guide has been updated to fix it. </span></p>

  135. <p>Run steps 7 to 9 in a new terminal window</p>

  136. <p>7. run "adb push CWM_BLOB_V4 /data/local"</p>

  137. <p>8. run "adb pull /data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4 cwmblob_retransfer"</p>

  138. <p>9. run "md5sum cwmblob_retransfer"</p>

  139. <p>10. check that the output string matches the one next file list at the bottom of the page, if not re download and re-push the blob DO NOT CONTINUE if they do not match !</p>

  140. <p>Step 9 requires the md5sum program available locally on your computer. <span style="">PROCEED FROM STEP 7 IF THE MD5SUM IS WRONG</span></p>

  141. <p>Return to the shell from step 6 and do the following commands:</p>

  142. <p>11. run "dd if=/data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"</p>

  143. <p>12. reboot the device, on reboot you should see a progress bar indicating the flashing of the "blob"</p>

  144. <p>13. boot the device. You now have CWM recovery and insecure boot</p>

  145. <p> </p>

  146. <p>Once you have successfully done the above steps and have insecure boot, you can follow the below steps to get 'full' root and the usual SuperUser app:</p>

  147. <p>1. run "adb remount"</p>

  148. <p>2. run "adb push su /system/xbin"</p>

  149. <p>3. run "adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su"</p>

  150. <p>4. run "adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/"</p>

  151. <p>5. reboot (you now have root and can run root apps)</p>
