I got my PE today and I've been trying to gain root. First I tried the ADB method from androidpolice.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08...-instructions/

But that didn't work. I got adb to work, but it isn't root:

Code:

$ ./adb shell
$ busybox uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.29 #1 PREEMPT Wed Sep 29 13:04:47 EDT 2010 armv5tejl GNU/Linux
$ busybox whoami
whoami: unknown uid 2000

Next I tried installing z4root, which "successfully installed permanent root", but when I try to run su, I get this lovely error:

Code:

$ su
link_image[1638]:  3749 could not load needed library 'libbinder.so' for 'su' (load_library[984]: Library 'libbinder.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I tried to adb push Superuser.apk to the PE, but it said it was already installed (by z4root). How the heck do I root this thing?
