Debating on Rooting or Not

[Technoman]

So it really is this complicated to root the TBolt? Coming from the Droid 1 and then the Droid X this seems very cumbersome. As far as following the commands, that is no big deal. The issue seems to be way too many steps and room for something to just go wrong.

Alot more steps involved,yes more confusing but if u own an HTC its good to start getting familiar with the system took me a little over 2 hrs just because it was my first and was being extra cautious

The instructions look overwhelming at first but once you take the plunge its not too bad. You will be glad you did it.

Yea it's a couple hours of cutting, pasting, and watching your phone reboot a couple times. Overall, it's not too difficult. Just pay attention to what you're doing and get good with the cut/paste options on your computer. Happy rooting

It's the best decision I've made for my phone ever. Totally worth the work to do it (even though it's not that much work, really).

I've had my TBolt since March and it still isn't rooted. I'm not having the reboot issue and my battery last 8+ hours on 4G and all day long on 3G. Everything runs fast and smooth so I have absolutely no reason to root yet.
That said, the tech geek devil on my left shoulder will eventually talk me into rooting and flashing ROMs but for now the stock angel is winning.

i rooted my TB the day i brought it home. coming from a droid1 it was a no-brainer for me. if nothing else it lets you get rid of all the bloatware krap thats on the stock phone. plus for me i love trying different roms, it was one of the things i loved about my original droid
