You think if I install CYANOGENMOD it will work?
We just recently had someone in the forum attempt to install a CM7 ROM that is meant for the ASCEND on a different model phone & ran into a lot of problems,basically bricking their phone.
I would make a back-up of your current ROM or download a copy of it & place it on your SD Card & also put a copy of it on your computer before even thinking about proceeding any further.
Next,I'd check out YOU-TUBE for a tutorial for rooting & installing a custom ROM on your phone. If you don't have any luck there,check out
http://www.xda-developers.com for assistance w/your particular model of phone.
As I've said before,if anyone has suggestions to help out,please chime in.
I wish we could be of more help to you,but,since your phone isn't the same model as everyone elses here,we don't want you to end up w/a bricked phone.
The ASCEND is virtually brick-proof,as it can be restored to stock,or,any ROM suited for it,so we have nothing to worry about.
However,I'm not sure that's the case w/yours,so,it's best to play it safe,unless you're willing to take a chance,&responsibility,for your phone in the chance that things go bad & you end up w/a brick.
