Is 1.6 Rootable?

**Raw_Sama** · 10-15-2009, 02:10 PM

See subject. Everything in tutorials and threads I see people were at 1.5 or less as I was, but my friend is at 1.6. So does the same method apply.

If you do the whole downgrade to RC29 thingy and then put a custom ROM on like Cyanogen's, you will have 1.6 along with a few tweaks.

Yeah it works because as MeMongo said you always roll back to an earlier build where the root exploit is available.
