Rooted an Android device? How difficult is it?
Has anyone rooted an Android device?
All devices, all the time, for years.
Not very difficult but you need to buy a phone with an unlockable bootloader.
XDA is your friend.

Why is that?
I’ve been rooting and messing with Android since Cupcake (HTC Hero), messed with Apple and Blackberry too. As the devices become more powerful and the market gets more competitive, manufacturers tighten up security and lock down customization more.
If you’re looking to root and customize your device, research XDA forums and check the process for each device you are looking at.
Its best to start on a sim unlocked phone, and go from there.
