How To Root Motorola Triumph With GingerBreak [Guide]
If you opted to go for Motorola Triumph, the 1.0 GHz beauty with a classy 4.1 inch screen, and were waiting for root access on your phone, get ready to get into action! Apparently some folks at XDA tried Gingerbreak – the newest single click rooting method – and it worked without flaw! The phone ships with Android 2.2 Froyo on board which means that gaining root will open possibilities for custom ROMs, kernels and other awesome post-root stuff. According to some testers, the root access is permanent, so you won’t have to hack away stuff on every reboot.
Gaining root access on your device means that you will be able to gain complete super user access to every nook and corner of your phone. You will be able to flash custom recovery needed for flashing custom ROMs, kernels and mods etc., install apps that require root access, modify the contents of your phone’s system partition, change system framework files to theme your phone, and apply scripts that will get rid of any lag, permission glitches etc.
