Let me give a bit of insight:

If you have read lately about the e911 Dream rooting method, it uses the same exploit found in this application.

Simply put, the app automates that process. It gives you root access, without flashing the SPL, Radio, or a new ROM.

Reading in the thread, they have had success with the HTC Magic (which is the Canadian naming), and the HTC Dream.

The root method offers no means of bricking, because it simply uses the exploit to inject the SuperUser.apk into the phone, and give root access. It's one of those "If it works, you have root. If it doesn't, it'll say like 'denied'".

Which device do you have?
