If you rooted your phone then you should have had to flash a different rom onto your phone.

Did you do that?

If you rooted your phone then you should have had to flash a different rom onto your phone.

Did you do that?

I have only done this:

1. Download the Superuser Whitelist (http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/Superuser/Superuser.zip) and unzip it somewhere safe such as c:\SDK\tools\
2. On the GW620 dial "3845#*620#" to get in to the secret menu
3. Tap "Module Test" then tap "Stability Test" then tap "Enable Root Permission"
4. Open a Command Prompt on Windows by pressing Windows Key + R, then type "cmd" in the empty field. Note, you should also run this with Administrator rights. Linux users can use Terminal.

Navigate to your installed Android SDK (ie: "cd c:\SDK\tools\").Type "adb shell"

1. You should get a #. If you get a $ then something didn't work. Shutdown the phone and PC and try again. If you get a # then all is well. Type "exit" to return to your PCs command prompt.
2. Type "adb remount" to remount the GW620's file system as read-write so we can make changes.
3. Type "adb shell cat /system/xbin/su > /system/xbin/su.original" [Note: This step may give you a "could not find path" error. Just continue on with step 5 and the root will still work.]
4. Type "adb push bin/su /system/xbin/su"
5. Type "adb push bin/su /system/bin/su"
6. Type "adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su"
7. Type "adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"
8. Type "adb install bin/Superuser.apk"

Hmmm...

I don't think I've ever seen that outline for rooting before.
