I used odin to root mine.
All things root has a very good step by step guide as well as roms that are compatable. Once the phone was rooted I backed up images and music to my pc. Partitioned my sd card and restored it with the 187MoD.honeybread6 rom. Then used sm manager to tweak my settings. And terminal emulator to remove stock apps. I then had close to 400mb of internal storage before restoring my apps with titanium backup. And I was done. The only issue I have is my bluetooth. When its turned on my phone resets over and over until turned off. I do need assistance with that. If anyone can help

Need help rooting my prevail. I don't know a lot about rooting at all and not very techy but I don't like the phone in it's current state and it seems rooting can give me control to change a lot of things. I'm on the 2.3.6 and having a hard time finding any info on how to root it. Everything I keep reading says I have to flash it back to 2.3.5... No idea how to even do that. Any help would be great.

Im just here to tell you guys the bad thing if you have it updated to the latest version you're screwed there is no way unless you flash clock work mod and then flash a rooted kernel

I would love to learn how to root my dart, if it could be done, and if rooting a phone is not some kind of joke, like unicorns, pots of gold at the end of rainbows,and socialism.
