[joser116]

Hey Joser! Did you use SetCPU to reset to 600 MGS?

Yes

 

[jEFF gREEN]

Yes INDEED!!! Thank GOD!!! Ok phone came back on. Now what do you suggest?

 

[Jazziette]

This thread is going to turn out to be a great Tutorial for rooting the Cricket Ascend after all!

 

[joser116]

If your phone turned off, that means its working.Did you click permanent root?

 

[Jazziette]

Yes

Ahhhh..okay...headed back to the Market now!

 

[jEFF gREEN]

Permanent root? Never saw an option to click that. Hummm

 

[joser116]

Yes INDEED!!! Thank GOD!!! Ok phone came back on. Now what do you suggest?

Your phone is now rooted. If it is, check in your apps for a black skull icon

 

[jEFF gREEN]

What do I do if I never saw an option to permanent root?

Thats fine, as long as you find the skull icon.

 

[jEFF gREEN]

No Black skull icon among my apps, but I do see the blue Z4 icon. How do I find the black skull icon

 

[joser116]

If there wasnt an option for permanent root, it means that you have an older version of z4root, but that is fine.

 

[jEFF gREEN]

should I try to connect to my laptop now to see if it will tether or are there more steps first

 

[joser116]

I'm sorry, If you didn't find the skull icon, then root failed. You may need to uninstall z4root and download again using dolphin . But make sure you download the latest version of z4root, which is z4root version 1.3.0. If you wish, you can give me your gmail associated with your phone and ill email the latest app to you.
Then all youll have to do is intall the version I sent you and just click one button and youll be good to go

YIPPEE KI YAY!!!

My phone is now rooted and bloatware removed and overclocked at 600 MGHZ!!

I'm a happy camper!

Thanks again Joser!!!

Good luck to you Jeff...hang in there and Joser will get your phone set up right!

BTW...who is your carrier? Cricket or MetroPCS. I didn't see.

 

[jEFF gREEN]

this is z4root version 2

 

[Jazziette]

I'm sorry, If you didn't find the skull icon, then root failed. You may need to uninstall z4root and download again using dolphin . But make sure you download the latest version of z4root, which is z4root version 1.3.0. If you wish, you can give me your gmail associated with your phone and ill email the latest app to you.

Joser, maybe Jeff could open up Z4root again and if it is rooted it will give him the option to re-root, etc.

The skull app is called: Superuser

 

[jEFF gREEN]

definitely no Superuser among my apps. Will uninstall and install version 1.3.0

 

[jEFF gREEN]

Before I uninstall, Question : If I uninstall will I lose any data or anything that I might want to keep from my storage that was rooted?

 

[joser116]

definitely no Superuser among my apps. Will uninstall and install version 1.3.0

Excellent
