and I am nowhere near being a power user, but would like to root just for wifi hotspot, and to delete all the VZW crap and to be able to get decent battery life.
That is it, but I also am afraid that I will either brick my phone in the process, or that I will screw something up afterward. When my phone is rooted and in its normal use state can I blindly key something in, is the possibility there to enter something that disable my phone. I have been reading some of the threads and am trying to grasp the idea but am still confused, I don't mind reading but have had trouble finding links with info that dumb it down enough, I just want to be able to use my phone, without all the apps that are useless to me.
