So the rooting section of the guide is for .62 rom AND kernel? I have unlocked bootloader with the test point method and .62 firmware from the factory and I want to know if it is safe to use this guide to get root because I want to skip the downgrade process.

I ask this because in the root section it says this:

Alternately, you can just install a custom kernel and root using zergrush method but if you want to try the .62 kernel from this stock rom then do this.


If I read that right its saying how to get root on .62 kernel if you wanted to try it?
