if you have an HTC you can goto unrevoked and do the subradio hack which works on all upgrades forever.
I use Rom Manager and run the MIUI rom which looks similar to an iphone (some love it , some hate it) but its very polished, the battery lasts forever compared to others .. and yes very important is tethering. Sprint wants 20 bucks a month more for tethering to be enabled on the phone so wireless tether is nice, and on 4g its even nicer (6dn 1up) From: Rene de Haas [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 8:19 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT : Rooting Android phones On my Samsung Galaxy S running android 2.2 tethering is on there already iirc.

I rooted it just to have "root" access but then found some apps that will allow me to tether my phone as a wi-fi hotspot. I had often loaded different roms and such but that got old real quick. I can't run updates on my phone because of my rooted access but I'm ok with that. I haven't tinkered with my phone for over a year now and still on OS 2.1. The only real benefit of rooting for me is the wi-fi tethering, Hope this helps. -Jimmy From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 12:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT : Rooting Android phones Lately I've been seeing a number of articles and videos on rooting Android phones, including the HTC EVO that I use. Besides the obvious 'gaining root access', has anyone done this that can list some of the benefits from rooting your phone ? (I'm thinking maybe I could finally uninstall that Nascar app that was bundled by Sprint ) Thanks in advance Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !
