been 9 months and have found no reason to Root. Now needed WiFi tether cause easy teather USB is not gonna work with my new Nexus 7 I think its time to ROOT.
Not sure what the down sizes are here but this is what I think I remember... some applications will not work with Root, like netflix which I dont have..Is there any other negatives about root I dont know.
I figure if I brick the phone its only $200 on eBay to get another and in that case I'll fork another $150 on top of $200 and get the S3.
Also I'm not sure If I should put a Rom on it like NilsP business Rom. But if I do I think I should do what people call a nandroid backup on the original ICS so I can go back to stock if I want and do all this before I flash a Rom.
well picked a Saturday to do this so I can take my time and not get stressed out that I'm running out of it. Gonna follow Mr.Smiths guide below. I have all the drivers I need and even got so far last night in almost pasting the token into the HTC dev site. but I held off till today. Let you all wonderful people of AC know how it went or will post questions here if I need your help. Cant trust the other site really anymore for quality grownup help. This is gonna be fun..I figured its focus my attention on rooting or go out and buy some gadget to fiddle with that will cost me like $200 like the NEST thermosat I want LOL!
Well here goes nothing!
I'mm a sccccared!!
