Hi Guys,
I'd really like to root my phone and get one of the latest custom roms (that anyone would recommend and that has been used by any of U and proved to be working fine)
I did upgrade my phone to the latest genuine software but it's running too slow and it has lots of lags (games and even the music player)
I tried to read some articles about rooting and using wolfbreak but I couldn't get how to actually perform it.
So, I'd really appreciate if someone can give me a step by step guide to how I'd do that and the programmes I need too.
Thanks in Advance.

Now that you are rooted, you want to install xRecovery.

You install xRecovery and then you can install custom ROMs.

i'm halfway following the instructions .. the phone isn't trurning on :'(

Please elaborate.

I mention that in the instructions.

When it is done, unplug and turn off the phone.

Now, we need to root, the phone won't start so remove the back on the phone, we will need to pop the battery at some point.

When rooting you are temporarily putting a portion of the old kernel on the phone. Then rooting it....but the phone won't start. That is normal. Then after root, pop the battery like I said, and flash with the new kernel again....it stays rooted and it has the new version.
