Rooting Your Phone: T-Mobile Disclaimer

Many eager cupcakers have decided NOT to wait for the official update and have instead “rooted” their phones and installed the cupcake software themselves. A user on the T-Mobile Forums provided a 3-part Video Tutorial via Youtube, teaching How To Root Your Android Phone. T-Mobile added the following disclaimer above his post:

WARNING: T-Mobile does not support manual installations and will not assume responsibility for any device problems or failures that occur from following these instructions.

*NOTICE: Rooting your phone can be a risky procedure, and if you make a mistake and brick your phone: T-Mobile, these forums, authors of this post, or other subsequent posts, nor any party, company, corporate entity, individual, or estate; living or dead, associated or otherwise connected with the above shall not be held liable for any damage you do to your device, others devices, your person, other people/living things, or property belonging to you any other entity in the known universe should you attempt to root your phone. You take full responsibility and liability for any action you choose to take to attempt to gain root access to your phone. Rooting will prevent your phone from receiving automatic updates. Do this at your own risk.

Thanks for the info, androidhtc2009!

A few things I’d like to point out:

  1. That is a hilarious disclaimer. I particularly enjoyed the “any other entity in the known universe” bit.
  2. Props to T-Mobile for not only keeping the “How To Root Your Phone” post up, but also for thanking the poster! The disclaimer was necessary and I think many carriers would have just deleted the thread. This goes hand-in-hand with T-Mobile supporting customers using unlocked iPhones. T-Mobile rocks.
  3. Great tutorial.

In going along with #3, I’ve embedded the 3 tutorial videos below:
