:cool: So I've been watching the 3 part video "CAPTIVATE ROM FLASHING VIDEO SERIES"...

So I'm thinking maybe I'll give 'er a try ("flash a ROM"). I see one of first things you have to do is "backup" your stuff, so I start watching the "Titanium Backup for Android (How to backup and restore applications)"...

which then tells me I need to be "rooted"

. So I then start watching that video...

which now tells me I need to "download" and install something called "one click root" ...

Well it ("one click root") seem to be a "rar. file" which I can't open

So is there a program for XP I can download and install for free, that un-zip's them?

Oh and on a side-note, all this stuff you have to do before flashing your ROM makes flashing a ROM a PITA, not a piece of cake like it's made out to be... :mad:
