Default Rooting Android

The arrival of one-touch root apps for Android means that it just became a whole lot easier to open up administrator-level access to your device. Zac and Ron take Easy Root for a spin and run down why you might want to root your Droid.

Watch or download now!

Episode 207 talks about rooting the droid. I did this a few weeks ago on my Sony Xperia X10 using a free tool called "Universal Androot", with a 1 click process that works on quite a few Android phones.

Just thought it seemed like a nicer alternative than "EasyRoot", and its free.

As far as I can tell, this is the original blog for Universal Androot, though it's half Chinese. From the comments it seems to have problems with the Desire on 2.2 and the Hero, but other than that I don't see any complaints at all. I don't know about Motorola Droids specifically but then the Droid isn't so popular over here outside the US.

I've been laughing all the way through the episode... ...The title "Rooting the Droid" had me scratching my head... ...Why would you want to have sex with your phone???...

Then when I pressed play on came the lolz...

In my part of Australia "rooting" mean sex... ...And "rooted" means broken... ...so talking about rooting your phone is bringing on the giggles...


Ron: "And I'm not going to "root" my phone"... ...lolz...

hah, funny.

"ROOT"...Australian for "Boning."

on another note, i rooted my HTC Aria via a custom ubuntu cd someone made up (without installing linux...but i've always wanted to try it, so it was a 2 birds with one stone kinda deal), or you can do it with unrevoked via their site.

http://unrevoked.com/

i dont want to put roms on it at the moment and just trying to get rid of the at&t bloatware and be able to install 3rd party apps without at&t saying i dont have permission. even though i have root and superuser permissions, i still have to do one more step.

hopefully i'll have them both figured out tonight...after i mow the lawn of course

And boning gets triple meaning in Australia.
