1) download the recovery here, unzip it, u will have a file call recovery.img

2) turn off ur phone, press vol + and vol - and power button together, the first screen of ideos will show, do not release this 3 button until a purple screen show up.

3) when purple screen show, release the button and connect to your pc via usb cable.

4) on ur pc, new window pop up, go to image folder or cust_backup folder or whatever folder it contain a recovery.img file.. (sorry, i flash too many rom until now i can,t recall the ori folder name)

5) copy out the recovery.img file to ur pc and put it safety.

6) now copy the recovery.img file from the folder that u just download, and replace it ur phone. window will ask u want to replace or no, just click copy and replace.

7) after replace, unplug use cable and take out the battery, and insert again. press only power button to start ur phone.

8) here u go, rooting and clockworkmod is done!

Yeah, need to install the partition zip twice thou, those who wanna try must remember that, mine goes smooth, now got 1.08gb ROM for apps and games, great 

Custom ROM installation guide added on the front page guide, courtesy of Piumiu! Gonna follow his methods now. As for rooting, it is really that simple. If the phone hangs on startup, just replace the boot.img with your original boot.img that you *hopefully* backed up somewhere.

Thou u can save apps and games data files in SD card, some system apps and games root data files are not movable, eg flash player 10.3, installing too much apps will cause insufficient of phone's ROM size, u will know how important is ROM size if u play Gameloft's games lol
