Re: [HOW TO] Gain Permanent Root on CL14 Out-The-Box and Backup/Restore Customization
Yes I am late to the rooting party just got my moment last Friday.
If I root my phone will I still be able to install the new 2.1 update that is coming out sometime in the future, also can I still use market?


I have read several guides on rooting the moment some say to partition the SD drive, yours doesn't, what I haven't seen is anyone post the downside of rooting.

What are the down sides, phone can't be updated any longer through sprint or market? or is that just a rumor?

I am just curious what is gained by rooting, yes there are some stupid sprint apps I want to remove. I want to know what is gained by rooting, by the way yes I use Linux OS, haven't used windows in years so will have to find a copy of windows to install in virtualbox to root the phone to bad no guides to root moment via Linux.

I use 64 bit Linux so would have to virtualbox a 32 bit Linux if a guide was available so doesn't matter I guess.
