Universal Androot Hits The Market, Now Supports One-Click Rooting Of 23 Android Phones

If you can think back to the time Universal Androot was released, you’ll recall the then small xda-developers startup that allowed for one-click rooting of a very limited number of phones, all of which had to be running Android 2.1 Eclair or lower.

Now, the app has hit the Market and is ready for prime time with support for a multitude phones, including devices running Android 2.2 FroYo (though, only limited to Nexus One before 2.2.1 and an older FRG01B Droid build), 2.1 Eclair, 1.6 Donut, and even phones stuck on 1.5 Cupcake, like the HTC Magic. Unfortunately, some phones, like the HTC EVO 4G and handsets running the FRG22D version of FroYo, are still left out of the fun.
