Tutorial for rooting your Android Phone.

I am writing this article because rooting is necessary for sound working of many apps on your Android phone.First of all you should know about what is rooting and why it is necessary for many apps to work on your Android phone.

What is rooting?

Before we get started, I want to explain what “rooting” is. When you root your phone, you gain “superuser” privileges to the Android operating system. When you are using a stock device, you have the equivalent of “guest” privileges. If you are familiar with any Linux operating system, you know that the superuser privilege allows you to gain access to administrative rights. This level of access gets you down to the nitty gritty of the OS with no restrictions, lets you make changes to the system, and run scripts that would normally be blocked with a standard user account. As long as they are not encrypted, that is… such as the case of the Droid X, which has an encrypted bootloader. With superuser privileges on an Android phone, you can install programs that need complete access to the OS – such as ROM installers (like ROM Manager), theme modifiers (such as Metamorph), and simple apps like DroCap2, which takes screenshots from the device without having to plug it in to your computer.

While the act of rooting does not do much for an end user, it means the world to a coder or developer. Rooting your phone gives you access to run the applications that developers create that need elevated privileges. Always be careful what you install, though, because the wrong program could take over, or even brick your phone.

Well its kinda very easy tutorial and can be found on many places on the internet but i am like very lazy or you might be so i have written from my heart inside just for you guys believe me.Before getting started, remember to back up your phone, including your contacts, SMS messages, files and photos…

Here are the steps to root your android phone:

1. The first step is to download and install Superboot, a boot image that, when flashed, will root the device the first time you boot up.

You can grab a copy of the Superboot zip file from the Modaco forums here.

2. Dude, extract it !

Use Winrar or Winzip etc

3. Now the tuff work, we need to boot our android phone on bootloader mode.

To do so, turn off the phone, remove the battery, and plug in the USB cable. When the battery icon appears onscreen, pop the battery back in. Now tap the Power button while holding down the Camera key.

O.o

4. Depending on your computer's OS, do one of the following:
Windows: Double click "install-superboot-windows.bat"
Mac: Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type "chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh" followed by "./install-superboot-mac.sh"
Linux: Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type "chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh" followed by "./install-superboot-linux.sh"

5. Ok we are done !
