[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cinaed666:
Right. Hi. First post.

I wanted to post this in the actual thread, but since I'm not allowed, having not 10 posts, I'll just post this here.

It says the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro (2.3.5) is supported, and in fact I was able to root my phone earlier before I updated it (not sure which version I was at back then, before my last update it was still on 2.3.6 too so I'm guessing that hasn't changed.) using a different exploit. I'll be darned if I can remember which it was, but it did required me to run a .zip file in recovery mode of my phone.

I own this phone (Well it's called a Galaxy Txt here, but it's the same device.) and it's running Gingerbread 2.3.6

Kernel: 2.3.6.35.7

Build: GINGERBREAD.CELK2

The tool gave me this output:

I'd like root access again, so I figured I'd post my report anyways.

Thanks.
