Thank you for this post. I accidentally updated my phone to 4.1.57 not realizing I couldn’t root it from there without Gladroot. I saw this originally at XDA but didn’t understand it that well. Thank you for making it easier. I used your steps in the blog and now have my phone back to 1.26. All I have to do now is run gladroot and ill be where I need to.
Will this get rid of all kernels? I downloaded a gingerblur one and I wanna get it off?
I personally had a bricked phone from modifying my phone with webtop after rooting it so didn’t personally have an issue with Gingerblur. I have however had a few people tell me that to get a true “back to stock” to use the directions in this blog and then run the normal reset via the phone itself after. This method should remove everything from your phone and make it an out of the box installation. If you do this please let me know the outcome.
thk you very much dwngraded from 2.3.4 to 2.1
Thank you, this really helped me out!
