Rooting Galaxy Mini/Pop Gingerbread [GT-S5570]
First of all, What is rooting?
“What is rooting? Why should I root my Android device?” These are common
questions that I get asked quite often. Today’s lesson is to talk to
you about both the advantages and disadvantages of rooting your Android
devices. But before we get started, a word of caution: rooting or
modifying your phone in any way will void your manufacturer’s warranty
and possibly “brick” it. What does “bricking” your device mean you ask?
Exactly what you think… It means screwing up your phone software so
badly that your phone can no longer function properly and is pretty much
as useless as a brick. I do not in any way recommend anyone to root
their Android device.
“Rooting” your device means obtaining “superuser” rights and
permissions to your Android’s software. With these elevated user
privileges, you gain the ability to load custom software (ROM’s),
install custom themes, increase performance, increase battery life, and
the ability to install software that would otherwise cost extra money
(ex: WiFi tethering). Rooting is essentially “hacking” your Android
device. In the iPhone world, this would be the equivalent to
“Jailbreaking” your phone.
The term “root” comes from the Unix/Linux world and is used to
describe a user who has “superuser” rights or permissions to all the
files and programs in the software OS (Operating System). The root user,
because they have “superuser” privileges, can essentially change or
modify any of the software code on the device. You see, your phone
manufacturer/carrier only gives you “guest” privileges when you purchase
your device. They do this for good reason… they don’t want you getting
into certain parts of the software on your phone and screwing it up
beyond repair. It makes it much easier for them to manage and update the
devices if they lock it all down. This way, all the users are running
the same unmodified version of the phone’s software. This makes it much
easier for them to support the devices. But, for the tech-savvy crowd,
only having “guest” privileges on your device is pretty lame and it
locks down a lot of potentially useful features.

modifying your phone in any way will void your manufacturer’s warranty
and possibly “brick” it. Do it on your own risk, I am not responsible for any harm to your phone, thank you! ]
