by nand permissions im assuming you mean superuser...and yes root gives you superuser.
fwiw oclf is a mostly placebo lagfix that does nothing but give giant quadrant scores...ditch it

no. from what I gather there are 2 kinds of roots. the first being the one that gives superuser. now I'm hearing of a deeper root that opens up more possibilities. and about oclf, I thought it replaces the file system with a better one. what would you suggest? I would try voodoo, however I don't believe its out for this phone yet.

i think you are thinking of htc phones that have root and then unrevoked which will give you permanent nand unlock.
our phone isnt like that
the filesystem you are referring to is rfs and oclf changes the system to ext2
voodoo changes it to ext4 which is more effective and has been out in some form or another for over a month and a half

What would be the benefits of rooting right now? I just have the urge to mess with my phone for some reason.
Having root access to the phone...getting rid of bloatware...having root access apps...flashing one of the lighter ROMs we already have...being ready to flash a froyo ROM as soon as it hits...toying with the phone...lots!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Interesting, I guess I'll root today. What themes and roms are currently available? And anyone know when the "real" lag fix is coming?
Theres a couple different themes in the themes forum...nothing that appeals to me. Theres also a very nicely cleaned up rom in the dev forum. Install clockwork and check that out
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
In your opinion what is the best rooting guide to follow? There are a couple out there.

Yeah I went to one click root. Followed the link to Android Central and followed the manual directions listed there.

I'm guessing we just flash this the same way I used to flash stuff on my droid? No need to rename to update.zip since I'm using clockwork, correct?
I dont understand why people want voodoo...what does it change?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
it changes the /system to ext4 format from FAT(i believe it is) which is much much faster on system read and writesso makes phone run way smooth

Just flashed voodoo. HUGE difference!
If i flash voodoo would i be able to switch back if the need arose?

Rooted, Clockwork, Titanium Pro worth every penny (froze all things crap), voodooed.
Battery life and spiffyness is sweet. At 75% battery when at this point in the day I would be at 35 to 45%. Do it. Just make sure you read and read more. Coming from years of winmo this android stuff was definitely a huge learning experience.
good day.
there are a lot of apps for rooted phones, and you are able to flash clockworkmod so you can use it to install roms and make backups, and more....

Can I apply oclf and be good with no bugs or soft bricks or is there something else for the Axura lagfix

Do not apply oclf. It does not play nice with axura use the voodoo kernel in the op of axura thread.

Put the voodoo.zip on your phones sd card, go into Clockwork mod recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card, and choose the voodoo.zip file, and the process will take awhile, so be patient

Voodoo works great on Axura. My phone has zero lag no matter what I throw at it.

Go to the Team Whiskey site. There's a thread on the Voodoo install and uninstall. It very different then OCLF yet still easy just not as..
I don't even run a lag fix anymore, Axura 2.x is quite snappy without it. And I find Voodoo while it works well, it tangles up in my system more then I prefer because I'm always flashing something.
But that said, Axura and Voodoo and your flying.
Good luck.

Call me careful but when I went from 2.2 to 2.2.5.5 I did full Titanium Backup, nand backup, turned off voodoo, and cleared data/cache.
I then updated the phone and restored everything then turned on voodoo. It didn't take that long and everything loaded perfectly.
How do I disable voodoo? And where do I find it?

Easiest way is to download the app in the market (free) called Voodoo Toggle. The picture is an Android guy with pins in him. Click disable and click restart.

Won't work; I've tried a while back.
It'll just freeze at the "Acquiring Root" part.
So no, you cannot use z4root to root, unfortunately. However, there are various topics on how to do one-click roots on your phone, with all types of computers - Windows, Linux, or even Mac.

Yes, when using the one click roots, you get a lot of options.
One being rooting the phone w/ cwm redirector.
And another that gives you the option to unroot the phone.
So basically, use the same method to unroot it as you do to root it, although choosing the correct option.
Simple as that

I've now tried darky's 10.1 aswell as GingerReal. On both roms I had the voodoo lagfix enabled and ext4. Darkys is supposedly the fastest and most popular rom and I still can't tell the difference in the performance of my phone even though I am getting around 1400 - 1700 on quadrant.

I'm on jvp.2.3.4 ext4 and have to say jvo 2.3.3 was smoother and felt quicker - despite quadrant saying otherwise. I still haven't seen a 2.3.4 change log so very interested to know what improvements I'm supposed to be getting.
In fairness though jvp is a leaked rom of course and may not yet be ready for production

Give a try to Talon 2.1 for JVH, 2.2 for JVP.
It gave me the best result on both roms as yet.
