Know about Rooting Android 2.1, 2.2

Today I will give you basic knowledge of rooting , what the hell it is and other important information related to this Hack.


Introduction :







ROOTING
One of the most incredible, yet-not-advertised hacks for an Android-based phone is Rooting.
Rooting is basically elevating yourself to SuperUser (almost comparable to SYSTEM user in Windows), removing all firmware restrictions on your phone, making it completely customizable, including upgrading to later Android versions (Gingerbread, Honeycomb).
Some of the advantages are ~
1) Increased speed and performance since it removes firmware restrictions
2) Allows you to transfer all your applications from Internal Storage to your SD Card, yet not made available by developers to the Android loyalists :D
3) Installation of tons of apps requiring Root privilege
4) SuperUser permissions required for Debugging consoles like Terminal Emulator, Titanium Back-up, etc.
5) And obviously, Live Wallpapers! (LWPs XD).

Note : Rooting your phone temporarily voids your warranty (but can be easily retrieved by un-rooting your phone to its original state if you want to claim your warranty for any reason) and doing so incorrectly may brick your phone (you can re-flash it using Odin3) or cause a factory reset. Please use at your own risk and I or HF are not responsible if you in any way damage your phone (or yourself)

How to Do Rooting :
Ok let's start ~
(i) Download SuperOneClick v1.5+ by XDA Developers

And if its a Samsung, I highly recommend 'SGS Eclair Easy Rooting' over anything else. Its what I used to root my Galaxy 3 :D

(ii) Install required drivers (Mostly installed automatically)
(iii) IMPORTANT: On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development > *USB Debugging ON*
(iv) Connect via USB (Tethering is necessary and Wi-fi won't work...
(v) Launch SuperOneClick and click 'ROOT'
(vi) Congratz! Your phone should now be rooted and a 'SuperUser' app should be present in the tray
