Hi guys first off I would like to thank the community for all the help in these forums. The problem I am having is specific but I would like to make it more general to help others as well.

I have an HTC Raider and I would like to root it, but I don't want to change the interface with a rom or anything just the iptables so that I can use auto proxy to get "full" data on the phone.

To make this a little more generalized a website with a bunch of rooting downloads for other phones as well. Thank you.

you don't need to change the rom in order to root it, it is more like the other way round.

i have rooted LG and samsung, all using the stock ROM(as I don't believe that customized ROM is better given my experience in the software field).

rooting in android is not black magic. it is pretty simple, usually just involve replacing a copy of the busybox with 'su' compiled in and create a symbolic link of 'su'(which is usually not the case in stock ROM).

iptables is a seperate executable that i haven't seen one android shipped without it, and the kernel support of it is always there so nothing to worry about.

it is the 'su' that you would need. if you see the 'su' in the app folder, you have done it right.
