Jive Turkee Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've rooted 4 phones so far: 2 EVOs, 1 Samsung Galaxy Prevail, 1 EVO Shift. It's nice to have control over the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboy225 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 hey yall, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to rooting..I was way too scared to try when I was still on the first Moto Droid, but it looks like everythings easier these days. However, before I even attempt to root my HTC Thunderbolt there's a few questions I need answered. - is it worth the risk?? (I really, really want improved battery life) - if I download a 1-click app on my nonrooted phone, will it work in reverse to un-root it later if I so choose? - what is currently the best mod, when it comes to ease of use, functionality, and ease of updating?? thanks for any and all suggestions!

matthewdroid023 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It will erase your personal media files such as photos and videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdfull3r Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It will erase your personal media files such as photos and videos. In most cases no it doesn't. Rooting is usually a straight forward process that has no impact on personal data. There are a few rare cases where that is the case but you should always do your research.

Psywar Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 ^^ This is correct. Rooting the phone will NOT erase personal data. The only time you will lose any settings or contacts (if for some reason your not setup to sync with you google account.) is when you install a ROM on to your device. When you install a new ROM it is recommended that you wipe everything before the install. (It is not necessary, but to prevent stuff from not working correctly it is recommended.)
