My Galaxy S3.... I've had at least 3-4 android phones but, I never had the courage to do anything to them. About a month ago, I decided to root it. Seeing what the hype was about. I ended up hard bricking it due to flashing an international rom but I ended up getting a new one through sprint. I was still determined to root it, but this time, I went in with a lot more knowledge on it then before. Did a lot of research. I ended up successfully rooting and flashing my first rom without any problems. I'm very happy bout it. No issues whatsoever. Even decided to get a theme on it. I'm probably going to end up rooting every android I own from now on since I'm very pleased with the results.

first phone I rooted was my Galaxy SII Epic Touch, then my EVO lte, and now my GSIII :good: Samsung devices are so much easier to root than HTC devices

First one I rooted was the OG Evo. First phone I unlocked to flash a custom rom was the PPC 6800, otherwise known as the HTC Mogul. Unlocked every phone since I had that one 6 years ago.

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.

HTC Droid Eris. The good ol' days when Verizon wasn't actively trying to screw over its customers.

    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.

    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
