why dont you root your device by itself? using the recovery screen and a rooting apk?
it's easy..

 

you forgot to ask questions like:

how effective is it with my goals (improve batt life, faster speed)?
will i have official update problems after rooting?
will i have unmounted memory card problems?
will it void the warranty?
etc. etc.

anyways you can always unroot, study the guides in this forum, ask forumers. nothing cant be learned.

damn, i still am freaking happy w my SGY. my phone's is still unrooted. im satisfied w my apps, esp the emulated games. i still do treat my phone as a phone, i have my pc to do d heavy hard stuff...

 

rooting is putting ur cp beyond its limit..don't root the phone if you are "NETWORK LOCK"
