Default I just got my Fascinate today. 9/29/10

I want to root it and deodex it.

What is the easiest way to go about it.

I read his thread but it says you have to be rooted for it to work.

But i dunno what my OTA or what ever is im just being apprehensive cause i don't wanna go in gung ho and **** it all up!

Thanks guys

First start with the thread Root, Recovery, and Update. Follow the first section called "Note 1" to root and flash clockwork recovery. Then you can follow the steps to flash the Deodexed system. Make sure you make a backup of your system before you try to load the deodex just in case.

Yeah... definitely do your reading before you start cluttering the forums with these silly posts. If you read the Sticky Thread at the top you would not be having these questions. Call me an ass, call me whatever... but if people would just read everything would be so much better.

I did read that thread. it hasnt been updated in like 3 weeks so i didnt want to do something out dated, As i said i didnt know what OTA that would be great if there was a sticky for lingo too. But Im sorry im cluttering your precious little forums bro. Hope you can sleep at night knowing that will be not packed with posts about people looking for advice without people being condescending assholes.

The thread hasn't been updated because Theirs no updates simply everything in the root thread is confirmed and working just follow instructions very carefully and you shouldn't run into problems. But as you know it if "You" screw up then you might can get bricked.

I just followed the One click root method like 5 mins very easy then Clockwork recovery was easy trust me not hard.

Seriously.

I feel that if the first five posts on the forum were just stickied copies of the LOOK HERE FIRST thread, people would still be making these waste-of-space posts.

Human nature, I guess.

I'm happy you got your phone and I share your excitement over it, but I don't really care that you have it, and I don't need to know that, either.

After you're all Deodex'ed, Rooted, and Backed-up, just wait around and lurk like the rest of us until somebody makes something for us.

and btw i learned all of the lingo by typing things i didn't understand into google.
