Guest pdbasham Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 @gazwsf I'm new to all this too. If your SF is still stock ROM (which I suspect it is), try using the Market app already installed to download pigfish (I used Universal Androot, had to run it a few times but it worked eventually). Hope this helps (first post, helped someone AND entered competition) :-D Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA :D like Paul said you should try universal androot. I have rooted my device many times (for some stupid reasons lol) and Im yet to encounter some sort of problem with it. Once that's done for the love of god get your self rom manager. it will make your life 20000000000 times easier. need any more help just pm. hope you that restores your will to live. chimas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep updating as I go......... Will to live peeping round the corner at me now.................... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
