I unsuccesfully attempted rooting my spice using zroot.. I didn't have clear instructions. I've read somewhere you may not be able to root the newer spice with zroot.. I simply found a down load of zroot using the phone , dLoaded, installed and ran the app. I don't know how to run the app off the sd card as someone has suggested. however.. I did succesfully root my spice using super one click, using a usb cable connected to a pc. It took me a couple attempts and I did need to reboot the phone after.. Uninstalling the useless app flashback (spicey) using titainum backup did speed the the phone up and reduce lag.
