[islandmixed]

Can someone provide me with a step to step guide to root my fone as we won't be getting this damn update...I. think I mite as well join the fun.

Also once I rooted will everything be wiped frm my fone? Like my scenes n stuff.

Cheers

You need to make a backup before root and add a rom.

you will find everthing here just make sure its for your phone.

Rooting does not change your phone....
It only gives you access to your root directory, so that you can make changes to your phone.

If your are going to load a 2.1 Rom., then yes
You will need wipe everything.. to ensure the 2.1 will load correctly.. wiping everything.. you will loose everything...
So make sure you have what is important backed up
