Guest Navie Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Today I bought a new phone called 'Monte Carlo' My previous phone was a 'San Francisco', I used a guide on here to root the SF, however...I am unsure how to root the 'Monte Carlo'. Is it worth it rooting my new phone? The only reason I want to root is because I want to remove the default 'Orange' apps and services because my phone is slow and laggy, at this moment in time...its slower than the 'San Francisco' Many thanks.

May I ask which is safer? Installing clockwork recovery & flashing custom rom OR rooting and using anttek app manager as you have mentioned. This is going to sound really stupid but...is there a guide to tell me when to connect my data cable etc, something like a step by step guide?

It's up to you really - a custom ROM will optimize performance as well as remove orange bloat. I'll post a step by step guide later :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/ this is the link to pauls tutorial on rooting. i would allso install clockwork recovery as it can be very handy, both are safe & have no reports of bricked phones.. i think flashing custom rom may be safest way & faster.
