Who's rooted so far?

I am extremely nervous. I can jailbreak an iPhone til the cows come home, but rooting for some reason totally makes me nervous. With the iPhone if there was a problem, just plug the sucker into iTunes and restore. Is there a way to restore the Inspire to factory settings if things don't go well with rooting?

Yes there are ways to bring back to original state. Do some research on XDA

I happen to have Rom manager premium. For fun I decided to flash a recovery Rom and of course, the current clockwork Rom manager incorrectly identified my phone as the desire hd.

My car and the android market both think my phone is a desire if that's any consolation. I don't think it's your ROM, I think it's the phone, it must be recycled it from the DHD.

OneClickRoot can root it and unroot it with the push of a button. Rooting is the easiest of the steps involved in flashing a ROM. Just find the correct drivers for your phone. That was the hardest part for me because Samsung didn't have drivers that worked on their site. Whats up with that?


will one click work? I haven't seen it mentioned at all

Personally, everything is SOOOOO new to me, I'm just loving the whole package. Maybe in 5 or 6 months ill be ready to plunge and start modifying it, but for now, HTC made a beautiful phone, and I don't care about the 4 or 5 apps att put on it.

It's not necessarily to remove AT&T apps, but to enable wifi tethering without paying the extra premium for it, and to enable hsupa for faster upload speeds.

I definitely see the merit in rooting for those reasons. I don't have anything to upload from my phone, or my computer really. Nor do I have any devices that need the internet lol. Maybe im a simpleton lol.
