"Rooting" an android phone


Recommended Posts

Just wondered has anyone done this before? What does it actually do?

I tried to update my galaxy s and I've killed it good and proper, but while im getting into rebooting it im having to download the software that would allow me to "root" my phone, would this have any benefit?

just a heads up, if your phone was downloading it over the air using 3g or wifi you can let it resume download in recovery mode, also when rooting make sure you put back the firmware on the phone it in line with your network if its like a vodafone variasion etc and not a generic one as it voids the warranty if your phone goes back to a repair centre

I managed to sort it after about an hour of hunting down the firmware i needed, I've got it back up and running and now i have an app called superuser on there, but the phone is okay now apart from it wont turn to landscpe any more :(
