About LinkBacksI am new to forum and rooting. Can someone direct me to site to root my phone? Also, a quick 2 questions. Will I be able to backup my contacts before rooting and will rooting enable me to utilize wi-fi hotspot without calling Verizon to turn it on and charging me?
thanks

02-09-2011 11:05 AMBest way to root is with z4root. I would go to market and download 4shared and open that, then search z4root.apk and download the app. Open it and hit permanent root and shazam your rooted. When rooted go to market and download wifi tether and the you have a hotspot.

02-09-2011 02:25 PMCheck and see if you have superuser in your apps. It will have a skull and crossbones. If not go to z4root app and unroot and root again

02-09-2011 02:36 PMit says " an error occurred and su was not updated. a zip file has been placed on your sdcard. please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary." i don't have a clue what that means or how to do it. Also, says, when trying to use wifi tether.."unable to start tethering, is you your device rooted?"

02-09-2011 02:42 PMDid you hit "permanent root" or "temporary root". A buddy of mine had this problem but that's because he hit temporary. Then he just unrooted and re-rooted
