It's easy, and you really don't need physical help to do it. If you just click on the link above the main VM Intercept forum page that says "all things root" there are multiple ways to achieve root access. Personally, I think the easiest I have found which I posted about is located here: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...asiest-rooting-method-vm-intercept-2-2-a.html


You don't need to mess with anything yourself, other than double-click one file. If you need help let us know.

easiest way i can think of...
flash a custom recovery using swupgrade
flash a custom kernel w/root using custom recovery

Android Central | Android Forums, News, and Help (for root, custom recovery, custom kernel
Virgin Mobile Intercept - All Things Root - Android Forums (for root
SDX-Developers (for root, custom recovery, custom kernel

so to do the things listed that i want in original post. which type of root do i need? flash rom and kernel? idk how they work. some one needs to update z4 root. asap!

try temp rooting with super one click
flash a custom kernel using joeykrim's flashimagegui
most root exploit applications dont work
the applications that do work like gingerbreak are usually blocked
try downloading gingerbreak using pc copy to sdcard
install/run using file manager... if gingerbreak works
on your intercept please post a reply stating so...
i would test it but I gave my friend my intercept
