  • i.e. modification of the boot image, and injecting it through the tool of Samsung "New PC Studio".
• we shall have to wait for a Fastboot-method

Thanks to drakaz on hdblog.it for the very first root hack! The first information on the i7500 came from Steffen Lindner in his ReceptorBlog. Another Thank you to paolosv from the Androidiani Forum, who was even quicker to figure out the i7500s button cheats.
