Hi I will be recieving my Mytouch in a couple days and I was interested in rooting. I read about the different methods and the 1 click seems the most efficient. My questions are...
1: Should I root my phone right when I get it or should I download all the apps I want and transfer my contacts first?
2: Will the 1 click method be patched in the upcoming week?
3: When I root my phone will everything be deleted?
4: How can I backup EVERYTHING I have on the phone?
5: When new updates come out, how will I apply them?
Thank you.

wrong place - this is android development. this belongs in Q&A - mods, please move to Q&A -
answers:
1. either way - i would suggest rooting first, because you may need to wipe, thus losing your apps/contacts and needing to re-sign in
2. you may still be able to use the 1-click method - give it a try
3. see #1
4. you can use 1 click to install a mod'd recovery image thus allowing you to create a nandroid - however see #1
5. you download them and apply them through the recovery image.
MOD EDIT
Please follow forum rules and post in relevant forum.

Since the ice cream sandwich is not out yet, what is the advantage of rooting it now?

Worked for me! It was even easier than rooting an HTC Evo 4G. This thread, or at least the thread referenced in the first post, should be stickied in the Development sub-forum.
I am a Noob and I can Root my Note!
I had experience rooting a Milestone 2 with SuperOneClick and an unbranded Android Tablet with Z4Root. (Thanks to developers of these!)
Unfortunately, both these methods did not work on the Galaxy Note so I came here and found this thread.
Unfortunately, ADB drivers was an issue with the zergRush Exploit on first run. The easiest way to get around this is to install PDANet on Windows and have it install the drivers for you. No need to complete the whole installation, just watch when it's finished installing USB drivers and then when prompted to continue, just cancel. Then re-run the zergRush Exploit and it should do its magic (Again thanks to the developers who work on these!)
While I'm able to freeze some apps with ROM Toolbox, I'm unable to change boot animation or the battery icon. Would appreciate if anyone could help with this!
Rooting hav no relation to install official/crckd version of apk.
Rooting needed for those application which are needed to access your system data e.g backup etc
when you need to install these kinds of application (weather off/unoff) you needs Root.
The optional unrooting package works also perfectly (just for info)...
i have sent back my Galaxy Note to amazon just to wait for the white version of the Note.
This method won't increase your binary counter, so root and unroot it as often as you like
Never either had any problem at all after rooting it, so this method is also stable and won't crash your device in any way or crash any applications...
Root confirmed working here, superuser.apk doesn't have permissions set properly but still works, easy to fix, updates fine from market.
Awesome - confirmed working. This needs to be stickied... other websites are promoting netchips CWN kernel method instead of this MUCH simplier way.
For you noobs with a clean system (that means me!), get the following files:
Note I run a 64 bit windows box, get the 32 bit variants if necessary.
You need:
1) Latest version of Kies
www.samsung.com/ca/kies/index.html
download file for me was: Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe
2) Java:
www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Click on jdk and download. File for me: jdk-7u1-windows-x64.exe
3) android sdk:
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
My file was: installer_r15-windows.exe
4) zergrush root script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
grab the zip file in that page i.e.
DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING.zip
and unzip it to your windows box.
Install 1, 2, 3 in that order.
Find the SDK Manager program in your sdk install directory, double click it, and download/update 'Android SDK Platform Tools'.
Note you can't run the sdk manager program from the command prompt, or it'll complain that directories are being locked.
Now follow the instructions on the zergrush page, i.e. do the 'before you begin' stuff.
Go to the directory where you unzipped the doomlord zip file, run the runme script from a command prompt,and that's it.
To test, download terminal monitor, run it, and do a 'su' then 'id' and see if it says you are root or not.
Good luck!

sir can i ask a question?
after i install the cwm and i will make a nandroid back up before rooting the phone.
if i restore the unrooted back up. Will i go back to became un root again and go back to out of the box state?
will this work with the Korean version of the Note? thanks in advance.
Well, it seems that the new update (as mentioned in a previous thread), breaks the current root.
I was looking to see if anyone can provide a step by step tutorial on how to successfully install CM7 onto their Kindle Fire. I have tried in the past (few days ago really, but "past" sounds so cool to say), and it failed. Are there any tutorials, other than the original, that are easy to understand and help install CM7?
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
Background: Not a total newb on computers, but not a total vet using cmd and/or Android devices... I currently have 3-4 Apple devices with iOS and jailbroken. I am fairly comfortable with messing with my devices.
I'm a newbie to rooting and CM7 but I managed fine by following the main threads in the developers forum and the videos on kindlefirewire.com
Use the .zips and files contained in the main thread and make sure you follow those commands (I think they are the same, but just to be safe)
When you root, make sure you install BusyBox when SuperOneClick asks to - you will need it later. I didn't have the 'cp' command without it. So you might need to root again before installing CM7 just to make sure.
In the CM7 thread, follow the steps to install the google apps - it was a lot more effort to get the Market back on the KF without doing so (I had to push dropbox and ES Explorer to the device first).
Edit: I should note that I did all this with 6.2 before the 6.2.1 update came out. If you've got the new update in your KF I would wait until a workable root solution is found.
Here follow this guide

Thanks a lot for both of your helps!
I purchased a Nook Simple Touch during Black Friday for $40 from Sears. The first step for me is to learn from XDA Nook forum on how to root the device. There are lots of posts and confusion is inevitable for a newbie like me. Finally I figured out what's the best approach and rooted the device quite successfully.
To save time and effort for those newbies like me, I think I shall share what I learned and what I tested here. Therefore, I wrote a post on my personal blog and the link is below:
Step-by-step guide for turning NST to a fully fledged Android e-reader
The tutorial covers:
COmplete backup and restore of your NST
Root
Multi-touch and NoRefresh improvements
The main XDA posts from which I learned a lot are:

Enjoy your rooted NST!!!
hi, thanks for the easy guide! one correction though, on step #2 of the actual rooting process, you mention "sdcard,XUFullTouch-PART-1-START.zip" twice instead of using the END zip.
thanks for your blog it will help since the information in this forum can be harsh to gather.
But it is necessary to add a step: Check the backup before the step #3
a lot of noobs (included me) fall into the trap of a wrong backup (76Mg instead of ~2G).
The purpose of the backup is to come back to something safe. There is already another blog that details everything to root, but omits to check the backup.
You need to add a section to check if the backup is correct:
- size (must be more than 1,8G,
- must contains 8 partitions
- must have the rom partition with the serial
some people here in this forum gives the procedure for all of this. What we need now is an updated procedure and your blog could be the beginning and then the wiki of xda should be also modified.
