You obviously do not read instructions or search for answers or take the time to reread threads so that you understand what has been said.

1) No questions in the Development section, see the sticky thread at the top of the Development section for ALL you need to know about using the forum and rooting and what ROM's are available.
2)Search if you do not find what you want in the Sticky at the top of the development section.



It's only polite to read and take the time to understand what the dev's and other helpful people have gave us before inundating the forum with questions that could be answered if you took the time to look for help as pretty much ANY question you could ask has most likely been asked.

As much as I agree with the post above, I've only ever seen this asked once, and that was in the CM forums.

Temp. root isn't enough, you'll need to downgrade and root that way.

haha, i actually tried that, and it dint work... and i don't know about fake flash back then. you should read post and stickies.
if temp root be used to install custom rom than you should read something similar.

but i did't manage to try this as i have rooted my phone before i tough of this. make a gold card. copy CWM2(update.zip) to root of your card, copy a rom of your choice to your card. off your phone. go to recovery red[!], press vol+ and power button. run update.zip and flash your rom form there. i know now i can. but what about thous that who have stock, will this work? anyone want to try?


thats weird, i tough you cant post anything on the dev side for less than 10 total posts [scratches my head].
Genisuresh currently have 4 total posts.

Worth a try using, with ROM Manager, install the recovery and try reboot into recovery.
If you only get the red exclamation screen, like the above poster suggested, press VOL UP + POWER, flash update.zip (That's your ClockWorkMod/fake flash)
If you have ClockWorkMod show up, try flashing a rooted rom of your choise and report back
