Re: HOW TO ROOT A SAMSUNG MOMENT Thread (help me find out)

I must say, sadly in the current state, those who are expecting it to run their root apps will be disappointed.

Even when the wrapper works, the permissions get reset. Don't know what is doing it. We do know why though. Samsung uses FAT16 in a RFS wrapper for a filesystem. The FS does not support permissions.

I'm too chicken to reflash my phone and try to convert it to yffs2, I'm out of exchanges at Bestbuy and don't want to pay a $100 deductable to Asurion. Those who can still exchange it and want to try it, that might be the way to go.

Not sure yet.

So in summary, this is progress but we are NOT at the stage of running stuff like "Root Explorer", "drocap2", or "wifi tether"

Also, to help keep stuff consolidated, I'll be mostly replying on SamsungMomentForum, http://www.samsungmomentforum.com/ho...ly-achieved!)/

I will keep checking here, and post back here if any major milestones are achieved though, no worries!
