Rooting Android device seem is a easy task and there are various roots method available. Z4root and Universal Androot tools was the easiest can use to root Android phones. But we know that most of Android phones will always get latest Rom updated in shorter time, so Z4root and Universal Androot may not support each and every stock of ROM . For example, Z4root and universal Androot failed to do it root work on the latest release of samsung Galaxy S android 2.3 ROMS , Android 2.3.3 (XXJVK).
nikademus, who is one of Xda Developer member has just introduced to us the latest root tool which can use to root any SGS stock ROM. He created a kernel (based on fugumod) which supports all filesystems and rooting any SGS stock ROM. FugoRoot Mod is safer than rooting using speedmod or whatever other all purpose kernel as it does not try to start android after rooting, so there is no fs corruption possible. Yes, it is awesome root tool because It works even for very new leaks Android Rom. Here is root instructions via FugoRoot Mod,
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin 3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
How to reflash the original kernel on windows using Odin
1: install 7zip if don’t have it already. It has been reported that IZarc or PeaZip may be more reliable.
2: unpack zImage which is in the PDA tar or tar.md5
3: with 7zip, IZarc or PeaZip create a new tar which contains only zImage and save
4: flash the the new tar using Odin
Note: The kernel will install the SuperUser app, busybox, and su. You can download busybox from the market if busybox doesn’t install on your Galaxy S.

Sony Ericsson today announced that it has developed a secure mechanism for developers to unlock the boot loader of select Xperia devices.
“It will be possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of our 2011 Xperia phones, such as Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia pro and Xperia PLAY”.
According to the blog post, It will be possible to unlock the boot loader for some releases of upcoming Xperia phones series, such as Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia pro and Xperia PLAY. Not all versions of these Xperia devices will be so open to development. If the phone comes locked to a carrier you won’t have the same access, and Sony Ericsson says there are other factors that may prevent an unlockable bootloader depending on market and phone configuration.
This will be limited to only sim-unlocked phones, so carrier-partnered versions are out of luck here. Anyway It isn’t the perfect situation because Sony Ericsson states that once you unlock the boot loader you may void the warranty of the device . Sony Ericsson explain that they are strongly recommend that standard users NOT unlock the boot loader, as it is not needed.
