[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shrihari007:
How to root?

By this time, many users may get rooted but there is no tutorial for that in androidforums so posting here.

Plus, I have modded original boot.img of A52 myself and added init.d support plus support for initializing ext2,3,4 modules on boot.

DOWNLOADS:

1) Unsecured boot.img (zip contains unsecured boot.img + A52 scatter file)

Advantages of my boot.img:

I have added init.d support plus ext2.ko,ext3.ko & ext4.ko modules initialization on boot.Just place this ko files in /system/lib/modules/ after rooting the device, u will be able to use Link2SD with ext2,3 or 4 filesystems on your 2nd sdcard partition.
