Not following you exactly but yes, you must be rooted to flash custom.
If parts of the ROM arent working then I'd post in the forum/thread associated with the ROM.

btw-Wifi tethering works great on OMJ's ROM

anyways.. got it going... i think i will wait a little longer to flash a rom.. once something more tweaked is out.. i cant complain too much about the stock rom i guess.
Mayonesa..Question for ya. Why did you root if your were not going to flash a ROM? (remember I am an android newbie) Does rooting provide some other advantages?

Re: What are the benifits of rooting.

So speaking of voided warranty, is it possible to unroot and go back to bone stock? If so how?

Re: What are the benifits of rooting.

Rooting gives you a whole lot of different things. You can tether the device without a phone as modem plan and you can install custom ROMS that make the device more stable.
