Will it work correctly with only a root?

[ozzybiker]

It appears from the many comments listed here that rooting a stock Fascinate will cause the data and wifi to stop working. Is there a way to root the phone and have it still work correctly? I don't want to install roms, etc. I just want to get rid of some of the useless junk. Thanks.

I have not heard of anything like that ever happening. Root the fascinate and you can get rid of bloatware yes. Its simple.

I lost Wi-Fi and Mobile data when I rooted my stock Fascinate. See my thread where I detailed my entire experience. Look at post #10.

From what I read, however, you can get it back with a call to *228 or something. I didn't bother cause I was installing a new ROM, which BTW I LOVE!!!
