z4root (Android)
[APP] z4root Froyo is a bit of a pain to root! Well, this fixes that.
What this does
It is an app you install from the market or by side loading, that has a single button that will root your device.
How safe is this?
Should be 100% safe - nothing on disk is changed besides the root
binaries, so if something goes wrong, simply rebooting the device should
fix up any and all issues. Let me know if you find any bugs!
The new temporary root option works on 99% of available Android devices -
no list yet of which specific devices are incompatible with the
temporary root option - I am still trying to find out.
Here is the list so far of known compatible and incompatible devices for
the permanent root option. I haven't actually tested these myself - I
only have a Galaxy S device - but this list has been created by reports
from users.
