Rooting the Liquid - introducing Superboot!

Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!

APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! - this superboot is only test with ROM 1.002.03 EMEA GEN1, and this early in the Liquid hacking game you may be left without a fallback if things go wrong!

How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX

- Download the Superboot zip file here and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - turn if off, remove battery plug in power cable, when battery icon appears onscreen, replace battery then tap the powerbutton while holding the Camera key
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
