Re: [HOW TO] Gain Permanent Root on CL14 Out-The-Box and Backup/Restore Customization

I appreciate anyone that tries to help others, but as a total 'root' noob I have got to say your instructions are pretty atrocious. Obviously all these folks that successfully followed them must have had previous insight into rooting their phone because after step #3 I just started scratching my head!

1. Make sure your phone is not connected to your computer

Okay that's pretty straightforward

2. Install Sprint Utility using default settings

Did that fine

3. Uncompress Zefie's kernel using 7-Zip

Did that but not sure why

4. Browse to C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS\SWUPGRADE\MODELS\BINARY

Understood and did that one

5. Copy existing file name including extension(SPH-M900_CL14_MR.tar) then rename the file

Totally lost! Rename what file???

6. Copy Zefie's kernel to the BINARY folder and rename it to the file name you just copied in step 5

Copy Zefie's kernal? Is this the ZIP file I downloaded from Megaupload, and if so, why did I have to extract it in step #3?

7. Run SWUPDATE.EXE and follow the prompts, when successful you[r] phone will reboot

This all happens wirelessly? Because I followed step #1 and disconnected my phone from the computer.
