I know, I know... learn to use the search function.
I have searched and read until i couldn't read anymore. I have also watched numerous videos on youtube. I am still left unsure. My goal is to be able to wifi tether and freeze some bloatware. Nothing more than that.
So here are a few of my questions. How many of you have used Z4Root? That seems like the easiest and surest way to not brick your phone. But... is too good to be true represented here? So... is it legit?
Another Q. In the Z4Root video... they used Astro File Manager. Reading the comments on the market... seems like a lot of people don't like it or have problems with it. Is Astro safe? Do I really need it? Any comparable file managers that are better/safer?
Finally... If I root... freeze the bloatware, and unroot... will the bloatware remain frozen? I really can't afford to brick my phone so if Z4Root is as good as what the videos show... I will only root my phone when I need to tether (I am currently paying the $20 per month hotspot charge... and only use it on the weekends and not more than 20 megs per month).
Ok... one more last question... what is the best Wifi tether app? If there is a link to a pole I haven't seen, that would be appreciated too.
Thanks everyone! I appreciate you all putting up with a newb. There are so many threads and posts... it gets a bit confusing.
