Rooting your Android with one click?

There’s a tool now out in the wild that can reportedly root your Android with a simple apk and one-click to flash the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 image. The tool is called FlashRec, and it utilizes this exploit. The exploit has already been patched last week, and T-Mobile and other carriers are likely to be pushing out a fix very soon. But until that happens the tool should work. I’m not personally going to endorse it, because I haven’t tried it. And as always with these sort of things, make sure you make backups and you know what you are doing. It should also be noted this does not work with “32A” HTC Dreams.

You can read more about it here. Or download it here.

If you try it, let us know in the comments how it worked out.

    Gotcha. I can definitely see this technique being used in the future with a downgrade->upgrade method.

    It worked once on a reboot but the next reboot showed the standard Android console. Does this need to be done each time before a reboot to use? Thanks.
