I would wait at this point. Ics is supposed to be only days away for the spec and that's when we will get some awesome roms (hopefully Cyanogen...). But if you really want to root I believe they have ported clockworkmod somehow. Sorry but I don't have any links. Sent from my VS920 4G

Haha i could do that or I could just wait for my upgrade next spring. It's not stopping me from rooting anyway. Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the tip. I am definitely going to be cautious and backup everything possible before I do any serious tinkering. I don't have the luxury of multiple smartphones yet. Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

That's what I hoped. I don't consider bootloops and other "soft bricks" legitimate bricks. Is there any way to backup even partition 7 or any other partition and just rewrite it from a computer if you mess it up? Just wondering I'm not that paranoid haha. Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

Okay I may root when I get some time or i may just wait for ics because by that time this phone may have gotten some more dev support and we will get some more roms. I'm looking forward to cm9. Thank you. And how is this phone easy to brick? What makes it easier to brick than other phones...

Yea looks good but a little too chunky for my taste. I need to be able to carry this monster of a phone around in my pocket all day Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

So no matter how bad I mess up i will be able to fix it? And how easy is it to brick this phone? I came across this link (thanks to scyther2333 on Androidforums.com). I was told this would be the best way to completely restore my phone. How does it look...

Hopefully. I am really looking forward to cm9 on the Spectrum but I still need to be able to get back to stock first Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

Haha don't worry we spectrum users hate Verizon as much as you Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

That's cool. Spectrum forum is still way too small for anyone to care. I have only seen 1 mod over there Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

Alright sorry I've run into a lot of jerks on the forums in the last few days and I guess I jumped to conclusions. I would take the risk and root on my spectrum right now if I didn't have a possible ics update soon. Don't wanna screw myself out of ics :rolleyes: lol. Sent from my VS920 4G...

Sorry if you don't want my input Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2

Great! Thanks for answering. I would prefer doing this all manually through command line so that I know what's going on and make my own scripts later. I'll check that out though. And is there any way to fix my phone if I mess up so bad that I can only get into download mode? Would the built in...

Yea i agree. They should really just include a third party launcher by default or better yet offer a choice. I'm running adw ex on it right now until I either root it and / or upgrade to ics when it comes out. I would have rooted it in a heartbeat of it wasn't my only phone and I had to be...

If the laginess is bothering you just root it and freeze all the stock crap. Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2
