Less than one week after release, Google’s Nexus One phone can be rooted by anyone for access to tethering and other killer apps. The Android and Me blog has a helpful walkthrough of the unlocking process.

There isn’t a whole ecosystem of custom ROMs built for the Nexus One at this point, as there had been for the G1 when we rooted it for better performance and other goodies. Still, Cyanogen himself has released a little add-on, an Android 2.1 SDK is just out for developers to play with, and by giving yourself su powers, you can install a lot of apps from the Market with more capabilities than the average package.


The video below walks through the basic steps of the process, but see here for a more detailed guide.
