Download these and copy to root folder of sdcard:
- rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
- su
- Superuser.apk
- Terminal emulator
Enable USB debugging: Settiings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging
Open terminal emulator and....
- cd /tmp
- cp /sdcard/rage*.bin /tmp/
- chmod 777 rage*.bin
- ./rage*.bin
Wait for about 5 minutes. It may finish and return with a $ prompt.
Hit the Home button, then: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Running -> Terminal Emulator. Force close terminal emulator.
Return home, then open terminal emulator. (You should have a # prompt. If not, and/or you phone is lagging reboot your phone and start over at "cd /tmp".)
- mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su
- cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
- chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
- mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
- exit
Reboot phone.
Check to see if you have the superuser app in your app drawer. Also open terminal emulator and type the following command: "su"
A window should open prompting you to allow it to have superuser permissions.
You now have root.
Also, another droidfurums.net reference here, with what to do after rooting.
