Root So ive never rooted but want to. can u free tether yet? thats what im waiting for.

well actually, i did update and it screwed up my phone so i exchanged this morning. it prompted me to update but i didn't. dont know if its safe to or not. so i should be in the clear to root. dont know anything about it. i have read through some of the tutorials but they seem confusing to me. id do better if i had some one walk me through it i think. i may try it tonight though. any suggestions as to which tutorial is the best?

I definitely wouldn't update if you want to root.

There is tons of info on it over at XDA-developers.com

READ READ before you do it tho, also there is a 3 step easy root that I think people say works well, but I would still read up on it until my eyes hurt.

I envy you and your non-updated phone =(

its my third one. i tell best buy anything and replace it. its all real problems of coarse, but thats how i got it. the update didnt mess ur gps and stuff up?


Update went through fine for me, It was supposed to improve battery life a little and some other stuff...but I almost think that was just BS because I noticed absolutely nothing from the update.

Only thing I did notice was it killed the ability to root =\
