seems like the only thing that the root can do for you is give you the ability to take off bloatware (which if you do wrong can really mess things up) and the tethering (which i will probably never use). not to mention void your warranty, and at this stage of the game is that a good idea?.

i guess all i want from rooting the phone is a clean rom without all the bloat apps that sprint puts on. everything else to me right now is if no real priority or concern until i find that i need it. if i could get a rom to do my dishes or vaccuum then id be all over it like flies on Sh!t lol

Screenshot apps, control of phone, ability to move cache and programs to storage card. If you only take off the ones that are confirmed to work it will cause no problems. Tethering is nice on vacation when hotels charge $10 a day for wifi haha. Voids warranty, except, you can reflash stock ruu and no one will be the wiser. I would have unlocked sooner if it was available haha.

Roms will be coming soon, but if you want a clean one ask around, modaco and cyanogen will probably be willing to help you, learn to cook. You might be a chef before you know it. You may not find a rom to do that, but you will find one to occupy you so you don't have to think about it not being done!

if you go to the link it gives you when you start it you can get them there. also an animated one so you can do a vid if you can capture it.

I did unroot with the Sprint RUU and all is well now except there is no recovery image. When I turn off and hold down the home key and power key the phone with the ! comes up. Is it supposed to be like that on the stock Sprint RUU. And recovery image is only for the rooted phones, or do I need to install a sprint recovery image?

Thanks for your help

when you use Sprint RUU, it unroots your phone. so that means you can't hold down the home key and the power key to get the the black screen with green letters (you get that when you are rooted). when you used the RUU, you went back to the factory settings just like when you first turned on the phone. when the phone is not rooted and you press those buttons like that, you get that ! mark.

Is anyone else getting "ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR"

When they are running the stock RUU Update Utility?

I have no idea what is going wrong it get to the point of "waiting for bootloader to start....." and it times out and I get the error message.

I've used RUU's before on my Diamond many times without fail. I'm currently on Fresh 0.4

Can someone please help?

Edit: Also, i'm on windows 7 if that matters. Tried running as admin as well as compatibility mode. Don't know what to do now...
