Code: adb push su /sdcard/su adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox adb push root /data/local/tmp/root adb shell cd /data/local/tmp; chmod 0755 rage busybox root; just place it inside of the G2TempRoot folder and double click. Then its just two commands on the phones terminal and you have root.

NOTE: The below info is all pretty outdated now that the fantastic Paul O'Brien has created a one-click temp root app called VISIONary. I recommend using that - get it from his thread ! In case you don't want to do that (what are you, some kind of masochist?), or want to see the old way of getting temp root, keep reading this thread.Insert the usual disclaimers about "if this breaks your device, it's not my fault... do this at your own risk... voiding warranty... etc."Note that for now, this is a TEMPORARY root. And things are now well over my head... I just got lucky with figuring out the first few steps. For now, I'm going to leave it to the fantastic folks over in the thinktank thread to figure out how to make this permanent, and will help out wherever I can.Update 10/6/2010:Per suggestions later in the thread, I've compiled a zip file of everything needed to set up a temp root. I've also made some tweaks to the root script, included in the archive as "root" - notably, it will now create symlinks to busybox for commands not included with default android (example: cp).Here are updated instructions to use with the attached zip file. USB Debugging needs to be enabled:: On your PC1. adb push su /sdcard/su2. adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk3. adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage4. adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox5. adb push root /data/local/tmp/root6. adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rage /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/root7. Disconnect phone from pcHere's an alternate Stage 1, thanks to Aphotix:: On your phone (Assumes you have already installed Android Terminal Emulator from the market)1. Launch Terminal Emulator2. /data/local/tmp/rage3. Wait for the message: "Forked #### childs."4. Menu > Reset Term - Terminal Emulator will exit.5. Launch Terminal Emulator, it Force Closes. Launch a second time, and you'll have a root shell6. /data/local/tmp/rootStage One only needs to be done once. Stage 2 needs to be repeated every time you reboot your phone.Follow the Thinktank thread for progress on a permanent root solution.Special Thanks:The dude that made rageagainstthecage - http://c-skills.blogspot.com gariak, for the ideas in the root scriptrpmccormick - improvements in the later PC stepsAphotix - Windows batch file to make the first part easier
