HOW TO ROOT ANDROID

                             


Google's Android operating system is riding a wave of popularity that has rapidly eclipsed Apple's iOS, and by the end of 2010 it's expected to overtake RIM's BlackBerry as America's leading smartphone platform. However, despite the relative openness and flexibility of the OS, your Android phone still isn't as powerful and customizable as it could be. To unlock all of your phone's potential, you'll need to root it.

WARNING: Rooting--adding superuser capabilities to your phone by altering its system permissions--is an advanced technique that the inexperienced or faint of heart should NEVER ATTEMPT. It's hacking, folks, and if done improperly it can destroy your phone. Do not follow any of the instructions in this guide or on any of the linked sites unless you are comfortable with the very real risk of turning your phone into an expensive brick. As of this writing, rooting is not supported by any carrier or manufacturer, and will most likely void your phone's warranty. In short: This stuff is for big kids only. No whining if things don't go your way.

Tutorial - 
1) Download the update.zip file here - LINK
2) Now copy this update.zip file directly in your phone’s SD Card not in any folder.
3) Switch off your device and restart it into recovery mode using the following key combination

Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button

    
 4) You will find your phone in recovery mode with blue coloured UI. You cannot use touchscreen while your phone is in recovery mode. 
For making selections and movements, you have to make use of volume up/down keys and make the selection by pressing home key.

5) In the recovery mode menu, there is an option 'apply update from sdcard' Select it. 
6) Choose the pasted update.zip and click on “yes”.
7) After the patching of that file, you will be back to the menu, and there it’s written “reboot system now”. Select it.
8) After the reboot, go to phone’s main menu and if you are able to find the “SuperUser” Appon it, it will simply mean that you have rooted your phone!
