dont just jump on the bandwagon and root your phone with a one click thing without DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! im tired of seeing people who rooted their phone without really understanding anything about what they are doing and coming on here shitting their pants asking ignorant questions because they're stuck in a bootloop and don't know any way into recovery except ROM manager. if you want to root your phone by all means more power to you. on a phone like the ally it will make a HUGE difference. but don't go one click root it and flash a custom ROM without any more in depth knowledge. that's asking for trouble.

and there is TONS more info in the all things root forum along with the rest of the web, Google is your best friend
so for the OP, if you want to root your phone, go into the all things root forum and do some reading, get on Google and look around. And know the first thing that happens to your phone when you root it is you
VOID YOUR WARRANTY. do some research and if you still want to root it, more power to you and the people in the all things root forum will be a great help to you. i just think you ought to know a little more about what you're doing first.
and for you root users, don't be so quick to tell someone to one click root and flash a custom ROM. Im all for being able to root your phones but having people just one click root and flash a ROM is asking for trouble because they know NOTHING about the risks and how to troubleshoot. if you frequent the forums you know what I'm talking about. how often do you see posts from someone who has just made an account flipping out because they are stuck in a bootloop, something you guys know is usually an easy fix.
case and point. . . . just in the past couple weeks there are countless others, i see it ALL THE TIME
