Guys so i wanted to root my phone and
1) i just didnt have to patience to do all the work
2) i didnt get some stuff
3) and i wanted to do this quickly and effectively

i found this youtube video after like an hour of searching and it worked GREAT. [Video and end of post]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

pretty much the instructions are to:

Download the drivers first *NECESARRY*******IMPORTANT. this is one of the ke things cause without this is wont work in the beginning

*JUST A MENTION*
i tried doing this on my 64 bit system and it wasnt as easy when i did it on my 32 bit.
so it could have just been my comp.
just a heads up.

64 bit driver:

32 bit.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml

After that you're going to download this file:

http://tinyurl.com/Sidekick4GALLinOne

this is the file/folder whatever that will root your sidekick and add the CWM.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^REQUIRES WINRAR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so to start rooting and the CWM

1) You're going to install the the driver that you download...64 bit or 32 bit etc.
2) after that you're going to set your phone to "USB DEBUGGING" when connect and ofcourse
connect your phone
after that your open up the folder thats called "sk4g root with good recovery"
3) ignore everything you see and just go straight to run.bat
4) click it and then wait, "Press any key to continue" press anything
5) let the thing run and you should be set at the end.

ENJOY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

your phone will reboot during the process and that is ok

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

if your doing this to install a new rom i recommend ayoteddy's GingerCloneV2. if great and has barly any glitches

You cqnt just flash cwm from rom manager, you have to trick the phone into booting into a cwm "clone" there is a thread on how to do his, I am in class now, but when I get out I will post the link, or you may be able to find it.

Beware! Softpedia installs malware on your computer.

The file 'C:\Users\\Sk4g_root_with_good_recovery\Sk4g root with good recovery\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin'
contained a virus or unwanted program 'EXP/Agent.5392' [exploit]
Action(s) taken:
The file was moved to the quarantine directory under the name '4a696fda.qua'.


Just sayin'.

This phone doesn't have much of a life left anymore anyway. Most people have already left. The phone was a great idea, just needed to have better specs and have a more open source. Right now its just on it's last breath. Kinda makes me sad, the keyboard was amazing. The doubleplays keyboard doesn't even compare. But I couldn't handle how slow a single core CPU is. As with most people.
