I don't mean to sound stupid but what in the world did you say? I have no idea what you mean when you said "Place this .zip on the root of the sdcard and boot into recovery (vol down. + call + end) and apply zip from sdcard." I don't know what the heck is 'root of the sdcard mean'. The last sentence "I would reccomend going to the sdx custom kitchen and downloading your own .zip file with the new recovery 3.1.1 and current kernel of your choice (no doubt the one in this pack is old)" What does that mean??
I'm truly sorry for sounding like a complete idiot but when it comes to electronics I'm a complete idiot. I just don't want to do anything stupid by messing up my phone. All of this is getting me more confused than ever and if I'm getting this way, it's not worth it. I do want to thank you for having the little patience you may have left in dealing with me. I seriously and truly appreciate this more than you know.
