Rooting?

**RussBurt** · 07-18-2010, 11:44 AM

I have a Legend with 2.1 on Vodafone, who have no idea if or when they will ever release 2.2 so I'm thinking of rooting my phone to get it.

My question is is there anything I'm likely to lose by rooting it?

Here's how to root http://android.modaco.com/content/ht...w-with-1-31-x/

HTC already said every phone they released this year will get 2.2. All you lose with root is official OTA's but they are usually leaked and released as part of a custom ROM before they are released anyway so you really lose nothing.

Hey thanks for that

Are there any links for HTC saying that? I don't disbelieve you but I've not found anything anywhere that says the Legend will get 2.2 and I'm starting to lose faith.

you also void your warranty. i'm still a firm believer that if you know what you're doing when you root, you should definitely go ahead and do it. the warranty oftentimes goes unused anyways, so why not get the most out of your device.
