Charge to Thunderbolt User, have questions.

[Beezzy]

I had the Chrage, just wasn't happy. No need to get into a huge debate, there are plenty of threads what I see. But I just wanted to ask a couple questions.

1. I heard that the newest update is effing up a lot of the new phones. But I just got it today and wanted to make sure mine wasn't loaded with that update.

Basband Version
1.16.00.0223r

Kernal Version
2.6.32.21-gb05544a

Build number
1.12.605.6 CL338893 release-keys

Software number
1.12.605.6

And how easy is it to root this thing and put a solid GB build on it with a Mac, or should I just stay stock and download different themes?

Thanks, seems like a great community in this forum!

That looks like the first release number... and the root procedure is easy and well laid out by Cory... I did the ADB process and it was very easy.

Thanks I'll def check it out, any other tips anyone's got? Any help would be appreciated, im pretty well informed bout Android, just rooting messes me up a bit, but the guide by Cory seems solid.

I rooted with cory's guide and it was simple. The directions are very thorough. I had to read about adb and learn a little about using the terminal beforehand, but i had no experience with those previously.

If you decide to try a GB rom, make sure you read about the leaked gb radio bricking possibility [NOTICE] Gingerbread Related Bricking - May 27th 2011 update - xda-developers .

Personally i am only using froyo roms for now bc of this issue.
