How to root Samsung Galaxy S (ECLAIR 2.1)

(This is for ECLAIR 2.1 as ZROOT no longer works on Froyo 2.2. Please refer to the next posting for Rooting Froyo 2.2)

Rooting an Adroid phone is an equivalent to Jailbreaking an Iphone device. There are many ways of doing this but the easiest and safest way to root a Galaxy S (any variation) is using z4root.

Download the z4root APK file here and transfer it to your droid and fire away !

Why I want to root your phone ? I want to install cool useful tools like Clock Synchronize - Micro Second and Wireless Tethering which can turn your android phone to be an instant internet hotspot (I'll post something on this when I get it running on my droid!)
