No, this is not how I feel stupid for rooting my Fascinate like the title may imply. Far from that. This is how stupid I feel for having trouble rooting my Fascinate. I spent a good three days fighting this thing with each attempt ending in the same result: An error message when I tried to flash anything from recovery. Then my brain woke up, pimp slapped me around and showed me the error of my ways. I was not in CW Recovery when I was trying to flash...Apparently it's much easier to get stuff done when you flash from there...whoda thunk it? Now I am running DL30 with Superclean rom and I am much much happy.

Point of all this rambling? I'm an idiot.

Everyone is a noob at one point...

Lesson: You're not an idiot.
