Great post! As a new owner of the Spectrum 2, this should definitely come in handy. I'm sad to see mostly crickets regarding the modification of this phone. For me, the specs and wireless charging made it a no brainer. I'm oming from a long line of Palm phones, with my last device being the Pre 2.

I know that I'm bumping an old thread, but how do I unroot this thing? It was dead easy to root, but how can I undo it? Apparently Google Wallet/ISIS Wallet refuse to work on a rooted device. I've found ways to unroot the Spectrum, but not the Spectrum 2. Will these programs for the original Spectrum work on the Spectrum 2, or no?

Just follow the steps to fix a soft bricked device, you will lose your apps and settings so back them up, there is a thread about it.
