Do you root/jailbreak?

  1. How many people here root or jailbreak their phones? I rooted my last phone before I returned it and I rooted an old Nook. My wife’s iPhone is factory unlocked but I’m not sure if that is the same as a jailbreak. I’m thinking about rooting my Nexus now because I want to run tethering software.
     
  2. My N1 is rooted, think I simply flashed a new image onto it.
     
  3. Currently all stock on my Note II since there's no factory image for me to revert to if needed.

    I rooted all of my older android devices though. Didn't jailbreak my second gen ipod touch when I had it.
     
  4. Jailbreaking seems like much more of a hassle than rooting. If I remember right you have to re-jailbreak after updates.
     
  5. The only device I've jailbroken was my 1st gen Apple TV, as I wanted to try out the Boxee beta (or alpha...or whatever it was...didn't work too well).
     
  6. I rooted my Galaxy S1 and my wife's Galaxy S3. I never bothered jailbreaking my iPhone 3G or 3GS. I may jailbreak my iPhone 5 so that I can use my unlimited 4G LTE data plan for tethering without paying extra.
     
  7. My mate jailbroke my I3GS but after the first week I have not used the features really.
     
  8. I'm not sure if the phrase 'Do you root?' has any other meaning from where you guys are, but from where I am, it most certainly does. I thought Phisix was just taking the piss initially.
     
  9. rooting one's android must seem quite the deviation then.
     
  10. does anyone else here jailbait?

  12. oh, while i'm in this thread, might as well update.

    i went ahead and flashed a custom rooted rom on my note to get multiwindow multitasking support on my note 2. the process took less than 5 min. odin clockworkmod recovery and boot into it and flash the rom. the long process what the 30+ minutes it took to make a nandroid backup. :(
