    Which route should I take (rooting)

    I appreciate all the info above and everything went smooth. Now...I think I understand, but wanted to confirm how to do what you are describing. The main function of me rooting was to wipe out all the bloatware. At this point all I did was freeze the T-mo crap. What is the most effective way...
