Question regarding rooting kindly advise

hi
im planning to buy a tatoo soon i do know that maybe i should wait for the wildfire but then i want to try android and tatoo is within my budget
my question what is rooting is it the same as HSPL done on a Win mo ie u do this to flash any rom u want on a win mo and i see things like a gold card
u see i positively want to flash other cooked Android roms on the tatoo

so kindly advise

thanks in advance
Thanks,
Hari

Default root/

firstly to understand root you need a little linux understanding, a simple definitive answer is here...

http://www.linfo.org/root.html


now back to the tattoo, you will see in the first few threads that guides and how-to's are available to help you root your phone, its easier now than ever,

theres a simple click and wait method, (it works well but you wont really understand whats going on using that method )


the SPL is not the same as root, hard spl allows cooked roms to be flashed and on some devices it re-maps the device memory to give more space ( see G1 danger spl for details )


follow any instruction very carefully if your used to windows mobile - its all a bit different with android, there is so much scope though and lots to learn which is the best bit i feel..

===== have fun =====
