Dec 20, 2012 at 10:25 comment added hsuk @avirk : seems installing bootloader is the initial required process for rooting a device
Dec 20, 2012 at 10:22 comment added Izzy @KusH Yeah, same time as I wrote that comment. But please keep those facts in mind for future questions.
Dec 20, 2012 at 10:00 comment added avirk And installing/flashing the bootloader is not same as rooting. They both are separated process..
Dec 20, 2012 at 9:58 comment added avirk The bootloader is the first thing that starts up when a phone is turned on. At its most basic level, a bootloader is the low-level software on your phone that keeps you from breaking it. It is used to check and verify the software running on your phone before it loads. Think of it like a security guard scanning all the code to make sure everything is in order. If you were to try to load software onto the phone that was not properly signed by the device vendor, the bootloader would detect that and refuse to install it on the device.

Dec 20, 2012 at 9:45 comment added Francisco Alvarado If you don't know what means rooting a phone, I don't understand why are you asking before how to root your phone. I recommend you to carefully read about rooting: its advantages, its dangers, and then decide if you will do it or not.
