Yes Eclipse Smartphone Root Attempt

Yes Eclipse Root Attempt

The geek fraternity should rejoice that Yes hasn’t locked down their maiden Eclipse smartphone ala Motorola. Running Android Froyo v2.2.2, I’m currently attempting to root the device using GingerBreak v1.2. The hardware reminds me a lot of my Nexus One, 1Ghz Snapdragon yada yada. The rooting process should only take a couple of minutes but then again, it is quite a customised ROM so we’ll see. Will report!

    Hi, I have been trying Z4root, universal androot,  unlock root and superoneclick, but none of them are able to root my Yes Eclipse. Please advise if you found another way of rooting it, thanks. seekchuan@gmail.com

        Well, I just want to root it and get rid of ads and control over my privacy. Also, I find the battery drain very fast even I closed all the background apps. Do you have any way to cope with it?

          I think the battery drain is hardware related. There seems to be some hardware issues with the battery. I’ll see if I can learn more from Yes team. Keep you posted.
