Rooting of the Samsung?

[rjpear]

Whats the staus of the other Samsung Android phones in this class as to their ROOTING ability? Has there been any inroads in that area? THX..

A friend of mine has a Vibrant, and he's got it rooted. I was helping him with ADB and such so he could try and theme the interface.

Good info.. I look forward to the "FacinOID!"

all the other Galaxy S variants have been rooted to my knowledge so i would assume it wont take long to root the fascinate....

a friend with the captivate has his rooted and has been throwing other custom roms on it all over the place. Sounds pretty easy. He's got it so that he can use any of the other carriers market places.

I'll wait until the Fascinate get root'ed and able to use WIFI Tether before I look into buying. But with the recent leak of the HTC EVO coming to VZW, hmmm...

all the galaxy phones are rooted easily, so i think fascinate will be rooted from day 1

It comes stock with a tether app

It comes stock with a tether app

if you use the stock app it costs an additional 20 or 30 dollars a month depending on what option you choose... 2 gigs a month or 5 gigs a month.


wifi tethering on a rooted device is free.

I'm with ya there... Almost jumped on an X but the "Chip o' doom" scared me away from that...then the Facinate was my next Target.. but the EVOid .. Wow.. that's my new target...

The galaxy s series of phone are very easliy rooted and able to have custom roms on them. They come unlocked out of the box (no locked bootloader) Pete rooted him moms and even made a rom which removes some of the bloat ware from it all in the first day his mom got the phone.
Ive been looking into this phone and running a galxy s theme and love the look and specs so I may make the jump.Sounds like a good phoen to play with because of the ease of rooting,roms and what not. Hopefully it will have a good developer backing.

yea this is one reason I am going Samsung as well, should be a quick root. I'm thinking within a few days of release for sure..

Found this, its a one-click root/unroot for Vibrant but was said to work on Fascinate. Not sure if anyone has tested this.
