Gain limited root access on a locked phone with FRF85B or FRF83 or FRF72
XDA-developers have a tested and confirmed a method to gain root access with a bootloader locked phone. That is root access while preserving your warranty.
You have to use the android sdk tools (adb, push, etc.), or FRF85B or FRF83 or FRF72 (FRF85B only on ATT), and a small modification to the battery to allow you to insert a sim card. The link has instructions for changing between radio images and links. After this process you have limited root access, but can flash a fully rooted, odexed stock image or custom ROM like cyanogen.

 Ya I never rooted so I don't know how to check for you. The only thing that I'm interested in rooting is to change the color of the Notification bar.

Ok, I think FRF91 released today broke this method. It relocked my phone and I can't use the same trick to root it again.
That's what I get for updating before making a backup. I really don't want to unlock my bootloader if I can avoid it. |

You can do this with FRF91, but you will have to revert to one of the earlier updates. Here is a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870 If you change your recovery image you will lose the over the air updates. I don't know if you can restore the stock recovery to reenable this afterwards, but I think this defeats the purpose of having limited root access on a stock phone. I have an unlocked phone so I can't really test any of this. Last edited by themikemiller; 07-05-2010 at 04:05 AM. |
