Hi, I have been strolling around these forums for around a week now, gathering all the info I can.
I would like to Root my Hero, but would like to get a few questions answered beforehand.
1, Does Rooting void any warranty I may have? (Not even sure if I have one)
2, If I Root, and have a problem with my service from Sprint and take my phone into the Sprint store to get fixed, would they deny fixing my phone because it has been rooted?
3, I have heard to back-up all the files all the time etc. When you back it up, does it store EVERY file from the OS in the back-up? (Reason I am asking is say I wanted to go back to a non-rooted device after the root, is it possible?)
4, True or False, I will have to re-install all my apps and redo all my Contacts?
5, What is the best method for rooting? Or is one just as good as the other. I am decent with computers(Windows), but have never messed with Lunix.
6, When the new version 2.x or whatever it's going to be FINALLY comes out, will I have to re-Root, or will I just have to install a new ROM? And would my phone still work after the update and before I installed a new ROM.
I will probably think of more Q's in the future, just wanting to gather as much info as possible before I do the Root.
Thanks in advance,
Evan
