SuperOneClick is a one click root application for Android devices created by CLShortFuse which makes it very easy to root many different smartphones. Until now SuperOneClick was only supporting Froyo devices but thanks to the Gingerbreak exploit SuperOneClick makes it easy to root Android devices running Gingerbread.

Disclaimer: Please note that we will not be responsible if you end up bricking your device. Rooting or customizing your device can be risky, if you follow the instructions you should be fine!

SuperOneClick can virtually root any Android device as we told you back in November: SuperOneClick - One-Click Root for Android devices.
