[Q] Best way to root? What did you do and why?

---

I wanted to know the best way to root....
The only thing I care about is tether to my moto Xoom. I really don't want to Boise warranty and have counter go up unless it is te BEST WAY


System flash
Overclock kernel
Root kernel

Wow 65 views and no opinion....

Well, I tried to copy the thread URL from the AT&T Note development forums but kept getting a force close so I just went to the browser to copy the link. I haven't rooted myself yet, but this seems to be the easiest way I've seen.

I imagine that it won't be to long before this is improved further. Anyway, here's the link to that thread:

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Yea that's the kernel version, I just wanted to get opinions on what they used and why they think it's the best

That's the root that I used, and then I did his overclock kernel from another thread. The Note is my fourth Android phone and that's by far the easiest and fastest root that I've ever done. Literally, within minutes I was rooted and overlclocked.

I just want to be easy and safe... Not like I err break a phone and get warranty work... Knock on wood

system root only because it won't increase your flash counter so ATT/Sammy can't deny warranty on it if they choose.

I did system root for now until there is a way to reset the flash counter.
