ok I did everything unrevoked3 said but have a message saying Internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash?     What does this mean do I need to redo it? it was just saying Internal error and I deleted some apps. Do I need to delete more apps?? tyvm for such a great tut and for the help...

Hi thanks for the rooting tutorial.

I have rooted with the Leedroid, and everything seems ok.

Except I still only have about 49mb left on phone memory.
And it keeps asking me to do a su binary update?

Why I try to do this is says:

This updater cannot update the su binary on phone that have some kind of write protection system like S-on. yuou can continue to use superuser with your outdate binary, or supdate su with Rom manger??

Any help will be gratefully received.

Rob,

I thought i did, is there a way I can check.

Hi SimonP,

Total;69.92Mb,  free:30.03mb

Is that abour right?

Spence

Yes, I think you're right. I'll re-do it the weekend.

Not sure, why there was no reply for my query. Anyway, now I have rooted my phone. But I used the other simple guide than the one here.

sakai4eva has done a wonderful job in writing this guide. I like the casual style and attention to detail. However, I feel it was a bit scary, due to which I shied away from rooting for almost 18 months. A warning cum disclaimer at the start and the cautions towards risk of bricking or something going wrong put me off.

I suppose we need to separate this article into two - one on rooting and the other on flashing a custom ROM. The rooting article can then be updated with a simple guide, that is based the latest improvements in the technology which makes the process very simple. A disclaimer can be stated at the end in a more friendly/reassuring way.
