Rooting

[G2 Forum User]

I know there are numerous things on the net about "rooting" an Android phone. But I was wondering if it is able to be explained in english (with some phonetics of course)

How hard is it and what should I expect once this "rooting" is done?


Thanks again.

Hi Scott, very simple.. Rooting allows you to gain "Super User" access to the phone. It will allow you to load apps or customize the phone in a way that you might not be able to do with a stock phone.

Rooting the phone shouldn't be that hard, lately there have been any 1 click apps thats do it right on the phone.

Here is a good article about the G2 Root situation

G2 doesn't have rootkit, it's just the same old NAND lock
