[adjangs]

try giving more details like what method you tried

[cfox10]

Yeah, the Fascinate community has some pretty great tutorials on how to get things rolling. Took me 15 min. to get up and running with root after finding a good tutorial.

[big_limits]

Need details. Looking to root only? Looking to install a custom rom? What are your plans after root.
For instance... if you plan on a going to a rom like kangbang etc. There are some options that are super easy because they include root in them.

or geeks

Is there a difference? I usually use those terms as synonyms. Whatever we are, we're way too into this.

[INFO]Geeks
From the Jargon File entry for "geek":

"A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance. Geeks usually have a strong case of neophilia. Most geeks are adept with computers and treat hacker as a term of respect, but not all are hackers themselves - and some who are in fact hackers normally call themselves geeks anyway, because they (quite properly) regard `hacker' as a label that should be bestowed by others rather than self-assumed."

Nerds
From the Jargon File entry for "nerd":

"Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals."[/INFO]

I stand corrected DXC. Sorry to Rey999 for filling up your thread with pointless posts. Hopefully you work things out.

[MegaSoundwave76]

That settles it. I will let my wife know that she can only call me geek and not nerd...

make sure USB debugging is turned on.

Z4 root is pretty simple way to root. Just make sure the version you download supports the fascinate.

Really when did they start supporting the fascinate again?

[nightrider2291]

I simply want to root my phone so I downloaded the su package from the link you provided but when I extraced it to my desktop it is three things (installbusybox, system and METAINF). When I go to put that on my SD card in the folder do I put all three on it?

I one click rooted and it worked but once I downloaded su from the market it said it was out of date and had a message saying there's a zip on my SD to update it in recovery mode. Thing is, when I go into recovery mode it does not show up there. So now, none of my root programs work because they think the phone is not rooted

Any help would be great! Thank you thank you
