"Rooting" a phone in this case is a good thing, (I guess). Because what they mean is they can then have "root" access (a Linux term) to all the phone's inner workings. Basically it just means you can fool around with stuff the phone carrier or manufacturer or sometimes both tried to lock you out of.
