Ok, so the process is now complete, and root access has been gained for the fantastic phone that is the HTC Legend. There are a number of reasons why you might want to root your HTC Legend:
* Store apps on your sdcard instead of phone memory. So no more running out of space to install apps!
* Get rid of those stupid demo apps your provider adds to your phone.
* Turn your phone into a WiFi hotspot. Other devices can connect via wireless and share your phones internet
* Take screenshots of your phone from your phone.
* Better memory management, your phone will never slow down!
* Overclock your phone, more speed! (If possible!)
* Full backup ability. Backup your whole phone state. Restoring this backup puts your phone in the exact same condition as the backup.
* Use 'Market Enabler' to access paid apps if currently unavailable in your country.
Lets get on with this then!
