    Charge? To root? Profit from xda's hardwork?

    Lunch is more reasonable.

    Not to much, if it's one or two friends I wouldn't charge. If it's high demand I would just do a little fee.

    As for the above poster, a lot of people charge for things they didn't invent/innovate. I would say most anybody. i make an app and charge for it, I don't pay Java any royalties. If u have the talent and the demand, I would charge. But not something like 40 bucks to a friend.

    A beer would be good enough for me to root a g1

    people charge from other people's hard work all the time.... i fix pc's for my fellow church members all the time and they pay me.

    when a plumber comes out to fix your toilet you pay him and he didnt invent the toilet of the tools he used to fix it.

    you pay people for the labor they are doing for you. i wouldnt charge to root some1's phone but if i did they have an option of paying or learning how to do it them self.

    just like the plumber... you can either pay him or learn how to do it yourself...

    Yea... but lets stay relevant to the OP and the sake of free mods.

    Sounds like a service you can get at the corners, unless you're broke.
