Can anybody confirm this? I have a friend who's been looking at rooting a bit, but doesn't feel comfortable with the current method...

 

handy app to have around i am sure.

 

i just downloaded it to try it out and it does work. you can root and unroot.

 

nice definitely will buy this for only .99 cents you cant beat it

 

When you root/unroot do you lose all settings, apps etc?

 

I keep getting a server error when trying to purchase the app!! Any ideas??

Can you post a QR code?

 

Is it easy to unroot if you don't like it? I don't really know what rooting is but I want to try it, and this seems like the easiest way. I won't lose anything if I root, and does it automatically update to 2.2? How would I get to 2.2?

you might want to read up on it first.

I must definitely buy this app while it is still cheap. I too have been wanting to root while I don't know of the benefits it seems as if it could be great.

 

I'm surprised that no one in the community knows the technique he is using to get root without flashing custom roms/recovery. I guess that's why he released it to market and did not share his method.

Has anyone else here tried it?

 

Well I took the plunge and the application worked exactly as advertised. 1 click root/unroot. Amazing work.

For the modders here who are curious how it works, don't know the details but it looks like it's using a Bluetooth exploit of some sort as that's the only permissions required by the application, and it turned Bluetooth on to perform the rooting.

 

G.Armour have you flashed clockwork recovery and if so are you having the issue that some others are having where its flashing back to stock recovery some how?

 

Does easy root automatically flash clockwork for you?

 

wanna be a guinea pig for me(assuming you can get the stock recovery glitch to happen again)....I have a couple of simple ideas for fixing the stock recovery reappearing thing but I dont particularly want to buy the $.99 app just to find a fix since I wont ever use it.

 

I agree with this entirely. I've been trying to learn of the rooting process along the way, and looking for the simplest way to achieve root, and while I'm not going to try a custom firmware yet, I've already done the basic steps of installing BusyBox/Titatinum Backup.

I think it should be made clear to all the 'casual' users that once they have root, they should take as much care, if not more than others who used more commonly published techniques of getting root since that typically always includes the steps of taking backups.

If anything this simplifies the process, but the rest of steps and cautions taken do not change. I hope the community as a whole does not look down as this application since it only makes the initial steps simpler -- so hopefully users will understand more exactly what they are doing since there is less complexity on getting started.

 

weird. If it happens to you again pm me and maybe we can get a simple solution figured out.
