Root acquiring root

[Jakk]

since they finally got around to giving the phone it's own little section. i figured it would be prudent to try and compile instructions for it in the correct area!

Woot for the phone having it's own section! Hoping more people purchase the phone and we start seeing more progress in this thread.

It only took months and lots of begging lol
Hopefully development picks up now

I just bought this phone and have already bricked the damn thing. lol
Basically, I got it rooted and then tried to install the wifi tether app manually by copying the files to /system and instead of copying the files it deleted the entire /system and my recovery is cooked. So if anybody knows how to get wifi tethering to work please share. I am downloading the stock firmware to flash in odin and get my phone back, but basically just trying to use my phone as a wifi router.

Check out this thread here: http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-get-wifi-tether-to-work-no-root-needed.958360/ . I don't take credit, another user shared how they did it and it truly was that simple.
