Rooting Your HTC Magic

Well since India got its first Android Powered Phone HTC Magic...lets learn How to Root...????? You might wonder What is Root and Why...????

What Does Root Give Me?

1. Full control over your system
2. Ability to alter system files. You can replace many parts of the "Android Core" with this including:
* Themes
* Core apps (maps, calendar, clock etc)
* Recovery image
* Bootloader
* Toolbox (linux binary that lets you execute simple linux commands like "ls") can be replaced with Busybox (slightly better option)
* Boot images
* Add linux binaries
3. Run special apps that need more control over the system
* SuperUser (lets you approve or deny the use of root access to any program)
* Task Manager For Root (Lets you kill apps that you otherwise could not kill)
* Tether apps (like the one found at [android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com])
*
4. Backup your system
* You can make a folder on your sdcard and backup all of your .apk files to your sdcard (helps if an author decides to "upgrade" you to a version that requires you to pay to use the version you just had)
5. Relocate your (browser/maps/market) cache to your /sdcard
6. Relocate your installed applications to your /sdcard
7. Reboot your phone from the terminal app easily (su reboot )

Remember Rooting Your Phone Can Cause Your Phone to Be Bricked so Do It On Your Own Risk.....No Body Is Responsible For Your Act.....
