== Root ==As of July 2012 you cannot root any Casio GzOne Commando with Build M100 or higher, currently M110.  The latest from version reads C771M110."''No one has been able to root c771M100. All it finds are hellions with blue flames.''"  This refers to the exit message of a failed root attempt.Why no root?Root is the superuser mode of Linux, and Android is a Linux.  It isn't the Android OS that prevents root, it is, in this case, Verizon pushing Casio (and other hardware manufacturers) to fix bugs and lock these Android phones down so users cannot root them.  To root a phone, a bug in the operating system or sub system is exploited, breaking into the underlying Linux.  Again, carriers and device manufacturers are the people who lock down devices in an attempt to prevent end users from gaining root access.  It saves the carrier money in reducing support incidents.  Super user privilege makes it easy for the end user to do harm to the phone.
