Never Rooted before

[dased1]

One more question after I have rooted the phone how or what is the easiest way to flash new roms. So I can find the one best suited from me. Thanks again

Rom Manager is a great program for flashing and backing up ROMs.

I hate to threadjack here, but it didn't seem to make sense to start a new thread.

I have installed Z4 and Titanium Backup to my phone and have been removing unwanted apps that way. Rooting ( I assume ) is much more in depth then this method? All I'm really looking to do is uninstall unwanted bloat ware, as I like the stock look and feel, but on the same page, I'm not sure if i should try rooting as I'm looking for a fix to the terrible battery life.

Any input?

If your just looking for bad battery life fixes I would check what apps you have that are using your battery with spare parts.

If you want to get in to undervolted/underclocked kernels then you'll have to take the rooting plunge.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah, I think as of right now I'm going to stick to this method I'm currently using. Thanks!

I am still lost about the SDK files. Where do I get the files from. This is very confusing

With your version of software (I read in earlier posts that you have 3.7 with hboot 2.10) you need to use this root method: [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - The Savior Edition - Upd. 12.26.10 - xda-developers

and don't need to get anything from the android sdk - all the files you need are included in the first zip you download.

dased14, you have to follow the directions in the thread that you're using word for word. It's hard to say at each step that you take because it's a pretty involved process.

thefredelement, in the root instructions it says makes sure usb debugging is on. I don't see it under settings

from the home screen, hit menu, settings, applications, development, enable usb debugging
