hi im new here and see alot of people rooting there phones and was wondering why they do it and how do i do it to mine. what are the benifits to doing it and is it easy to do?
Root Info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583291 I wouldn't attempt it if you are not comfortable with it. Its easy if you have some slight computer background or linux user experience. -- After rooting you can: Install a new rom Use nandroid backup and other items from the custom recovery image Un-install crapware from sprint (Nascar, NFL Mobile etc..) Use programs that require root like wi-fi tether, one button cache cleaners Do the Apps 2 SD card so you don't run out of room on your phone and a few more things I'm sure i missed like the mess of applications available on the market but say you must be rooted to use. Happy Hunting!
