Question A question about rooting

I want to root my phone but I don't have a card reader. I have the 2GB memory card that came with the phone. I have ordered a 8GB memory card (and reader). Is it ok if i root my phone now or should I wait til i get my new memory card? (I want to show off to all my friends with a hero build )

Thanks,
Jacob

Well my memory card should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. In the mean time I'll prepare everything I need to root my phone.

I used a 2gb sd card before I got my 8 and it seemed to work fine. The ext2 or ex3 only needs to be around 500-600mb. I had no problems. I believe that JAC has a rom that is made just for slow sd cards.

I rooted my phone just fine without a card reader and i used the stock 1gig card that i received. If you dont wanna wait you can root your phone awhile and when you get your new card just reformat and apply ext2 or ext3 whichever your prefference. Root has to do with the phone not the sdcard applying different roms has to do with the sd card but even the biggest rom is around 90mg which a 2gig card can easily handle need any help with root or applying roms pm me

hope this helps

you can root the phone with he stock sd card. I rooted my phone before apps to sd was even possible. just follow the process exactly and you'll be fine.
