Q. I have a lg p500 that runs on android 2.2 froyo and i'm trying to root it. Are there any apps that will root my android safely? What will brick it? Are there any ways to avoid bricking my phone?
A. hey i too had an optimus one.ROOTING will void the WARRANTY .okay leaving the warranty aside :P .....to root p500 ensure u r on gingerbread because gingerbread has a newer baseband and many roms only support the newer one. easy way of rooting is to use 'superoneclick'. it is a free software and u can find it by googling superoneclick. install the software on your computer. open it using admin privileges. connect your mobile. make sure all the 'adb' drivers are installed on your computer. click root option in superoneclick and wait till it says OK, finished. your mobile will switch off in this process. power it on and u must find an app called superuser in ur app list,this means u r rooted. for further confirmation download root checker from the market. for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167. the first 4 steps r actually not necessary but for safety, go by them. happy rooting!

A. Rooting ur android means u can get root access u can get many apps for rooted phone whih r very cool
Its pros and cons
Rooting frees your Android phone from the clutches of the mobile carrier where you got your phone from, unless you got it unlocked. If thatâs the case, rooting frees your phone from the restrictions of the Android OS.
Rooting allows you to install âunofficialâ and advanced versions of the Android OS. Generally, Android OS are carried over-the-air by Google and selected carriers to their Android-released devices. And this usually takes awhile to happen. Luckily, there are developers who make this updates available and the only way you can install them is to root your phone.
Rooting allows you to uninstall stock apps which are most of the time useless and were pre-installed by the manufacturer or your carrier
Rooting allows you take screenshots of your phone. It is so easy to take screenshots on the iPhone, but it will take rooting for Android phone users to do this.
Rooting allows you to back up your phoneâs system to an SD card so that you can try out custom ROMs and revert back to your old system
Rooting allows you to move apps to an SD card instead of cramping your phoneâs internal storage.
Rooting allows you to use custom operating systems that will render your Android phones more useful.
Rooting lets you overclock your phoneâs kernel, making it performs faster than it was intended to perform by the manufacturer.
Rooting lets you fully personalize and customize your phoneâs interface with cool themes, wallpapers, widgets and more.
Cons
Rooting might void your phoneâs warranty.
Rooting can cause your phone to act abnormally, especially if not done properly.
Rooting renders your phone unqualified to receive OS updates through OTA. So you will be on your own to look out for valid sources. The good news is that, your phone is probably running the latest OS after you have rooted it.
Youâll be spending more time with your phone since rooting entails constant updates and all.
Rooting may make your phone perform faster but there are downsides to it specifically running too hot to the point of overheating your device.
It can brick ur phone too
Android rooting info help?
Q. Wat are the consequences for and android root I have a galaxy s 2
A. Hi there,
Android rooting is a serious task , if done wrong it would brick your phone (means dead phone) only usable as a paper weight.
But if done properly there is nothing to worry about, just follow the instructions carefully and you can root it easily. Just look at XDA forum, they are the best in regards of rooting and modding.
Now the consequences are
1) You could brick your phone, chances are 5-10 %.
2) You lose all your warranties and guarantees as soon as your root.
3) Customer care may or may not accept your phone for any repairs or may charge you extra.
