jaynlisa, There are several one-click-root-tools available, e.g. for the Eris, this one looks promising: (BTW: xda-developers.com is a great resource!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 I have rooted all my Android phones without bricking one of them and I think this is a really great thing to do, but please be aware of the consequences: - In the worst case, you may brick your device and render it unusable - You may lose your data on the device (make a backup first!) - If you want to install a custom firmware, do a so called "nandroid" backup first (this is a complete dump of your whole phone and can be done in the recovery boot once you've rooted your phone) - If you are sending in your device for repair, you may need to install the unrooted stock firmware/recovery first (for HTC phones, just download the newest stock firmware image from the HTC website and install it, this will overwrite your custom recovery and firmware) Good luck and have fun! -- flattermann Christian Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76584 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
