is rooting your droid safe?

none whatsoever i would do it a gain in a second!

i just want to find different ROM's

 

if you dont have a reason to root, then dont do it. i have plenty of friends who tried rooting their phones, because they thought it was "cool", and ended up bricking their phones.

 

Droid-life.com is the best Droid resource i have found. They cover all the latest Roms and custom themes. They also provide walkthrough videos and step by step instructions for rooting and other mods.

 

Really no reason not to root unless you can't follow very simple instructions. The free tethering alone would cost you $20 each month.

 

I have rooted about five different phones for friends. There is even an app that now roots your phone with one touch. It is pretty difficult to mess that up.

 

IMO xda-developers.com is the best but its all the same.

 

x2. most sites get their info from xda-developers. xda has been around since hacking the old winmo phones was popular. Lots of software developers there. I've been on that site for about 6 years now.

btw androidcentral.com is a good site for newcomers to the android world and they cover android news pretty dang well too.

 

its almost retard proof haha jake took me thru it yesterday

 

sure rooting is...but what happens when you accidentally update your radio twice and brick it? if all you wanna do is tether for free, then yeah its easy, but if you wanna go deeper it gets more dangerous.

 

im retarded. all i want is tethering

 

meh, main thing i use anyways too. I just can't stop at that though. gotta keep tinkering. only bricked one phone in my life (knocks on wood).

 

is tethering like mobile hotspot?... and where can i find this app that roots your phone? i tried lookin for it in the app store, but found nothing

 

:lol:

there are two ways to connect a pc to a phone. wireless (aka hotspot) and wired via usb cable.

you won't find anything in the app store. check xda as others have discusssed

 

yeah man. download teh xda-developers app.
if yo know how to use tapatalk then it should be pretty easy to navigate

 

thanks. im gonna try rooting my phone once i get the froyo OTA update.
