Hello everyone. I have a question for you. What was the first phone you rooted?

Evo Shift 4G. Rooting from 2.3.4 was so hard for me. Literally took 2 days of work to do. Glad I did though!

I think I may have watch qbking77 videos like a good 20 times before I took the plunged and rooted. Every phone I get I root before I activate. Same goes when I get my note 2 hopefully in like 2 weeks well I'm still thinking it. Who decides to go android may as well learn about rooting.

No one had to root the Tmobile G1 or the Mytouch 3G? Dang, that was my first devices. Having to use gold cards and then using sd cards that had the ext partitions to make the first version of the Hero Sense work on the G1.

Took me a couple months to build up the courage to do it, but it started with an HTC Hero... And then every phone I could get my hands on after it. Everyone's phone. Nothing is safe around me. Turn your back and you'll be wondering what that SU app is.

First rooted phone was an evo shift on 2.3.3, and then later the same phone (but a replacement) on 2.3.4

Didn't take me too long to decide to root, I rooted about a week after I learned what root was

I rooted my OG Epic from the command line using adb commands - I downloaded all of the files and read every guide I could find a couple days in advance, but I hadn't found XDA or the one-click packages yet (it was the Epic's release week, so the scripts might not have existed yet).

HTC Hero (Sprint)... However, out of all the Android phones I've owned, the GS3 is the first phone I haven't rooted. Haven't felt the need to root this one.

    LG Optimus S. Unfortunately the roms where never quite right. So now I stick with stock rooted. Hey, it's a great os.

    Samsung Moment... Sadly every single rom had bugs though so it wasn't much better than stock

    Samsung Moment courtesy of SDX-Developers. If I recall correctly, I went from cupcake to a leaked version of Eclair before the official release and then we got a ported version of FroYo. I thought I was hot **** with my live wallpaper. I had a love-hate relationship with that phone. Many times I wanted to throw it against the wall or out the window of a moving car. Bottom line is I learned a lot from that phone and the good people over at SDX.
