jumping the gun and using it as his own ip.
those of us who follow the scene still remember Geocunt, go crawl back under the rock you slinked out from.

This root method works using a exploit in the linux kernal that android is using now. This is why it works on so many different devices but he did state that some Motorola and HTC devices where immune to this technique. You might see some other sites calling this exploit a security risk for malware. Stating that if you install an unsafe app it can be then used to steal user information.

Looks like a donation is mandatory but I can't blame the guy for doing so..........assuming I'm correct.
I would totally donate 5 bucks to this person.
If indeed this works then PROPS to the dev.
