Here's another reason to root if you're outside the US, but want US only (or other region-restricted) apps, or apps from Amazon's app store.

i had it rooted successfully, then used a terminal emulator to put CM7 on my cell...
i was in the recovery screen - after wiping the data & cache... ready to load the ROM & reboot.

[bear with me - i had a lot of things going at the same time (not just hacking) so...]

i either moved the ROM to the wrong folder, or downloaded (but never unzipped) the ROM
or i unzipped it & left it sitting there?

(really, i have no clue why it wasn't there)

but i had a blank phone, looking for a cyanogen mod that wasn't there (on my SD card - unzipped / extracted from my PC)
and i dont think there is a way to get back to a point where i can move files around to where they need to be.

i was on the VERY LAST STEP and...

File Not Found.
Reboot?


[rinse, repeat]

the file is not there so i reboot to see where that takes me...
and i sit there staring at my phones manufacturers logo endlessly

:shock: - ...heh.

:oops: - ...uhhh.

:mrgreen: - yeah!
