What is rooting exactly??

Rooting

Via TT

Linux users refer to administration rights as ROOT. Android phones are Linux. So rooting is obtaining Administration rights.

So simple clarification here..

1. If I root, can I not get updates pushed out by ATT?
1a. If NO then how do I?

from what i understand, yes, you can still get updates from ATT if the device if rooted and you retain the current carrier issued ROM.

i'm rooted and i received the last JH7 update but since then i've removed the ATT bloatware. i'm curious to see if the supposed upcoming froyo update will take with the bloatware removed (***keeping fingers crossed***).

if a froyo OTA update does take, you should expect to lose root access and have new bloatware installed.
