I have to try and salvage this phone, so I'm ready to root. However, you guys throw around a lot of terms, etc., that I don't understand, so I wanted to ask my last questions before I take the dive.
1. If I perform all the steps in TheAndroid's [GUIDE] Custom Recovery and Root 2.2 [GUIDE], will I have completed everything I need to have the phone files backed up in case I need to reverse the process? If not, what do I do?
2. Once rooted, what actually enables me to make the phone faster (or in the case of my phone, do anything within 10 minutes of pressing a function)? The deletion of things such as SprintID, etc?
3. I've read in the other posts that my paid apps (and free apps, for that matter) will still be there after I root. Just want to confirm that one last time before I do it.
Sorry for the supernoob questions, but I like to fully understand what the heck I'm doing before I ruin something. Thanks!
