I am using SGP Silke and loving it due to slim-ness.

Getting OtterBox later this month though. Time to save

Please refer Page 1 Post#5 : ALL the BASICS are there. TUTORIAL : My Guide on How to ROOT using Supercurio kernel ?
I have listed the PC software requirements and all the steps. Just follow it exactly. The tutorial while written to flash Supercurio kernel is SAME as flashing other roms. I suggest you start to learn to flash using Litening 5.0. So just replace all references to Supercurio and replace it with Litening specifics

Flashing Litening will give you : AUTO root, install Clockworkmod recovery and Litening rom itself

After you have successfully flash LItening, boot into recovery mode with phone off : Vol up+home=power button simultaneously
Some roms required you to flash only thro recovery, while some require you to use Odin

Please read page 1 FAQ post #3 where the whole procedure is written

If you just want to root only , than either use Superoneclick or flash supercurio kernel. Flashing Supercurio is easier
Your rom will remain intact. Rooting will NOT delete any data

Let me use a car as an example
Rooting is the KEY to access your car so that you can open your bonnet to tinker/tweak the engine
KERNEL is the ignition starter - the interface between you and the car engine
FIrmware/Rom is your car engine

In order to root, you need a UNSECURED kernel . All process whether is through SOC or using rom flashing has to installed a unsecured kernel first before the phone can be rooted. SOC is just a software to root the kernel. Flashing the kernel eg using Supercurio do it in one step - install unsecure kernel and root same time. That's why I said use Supercurio is easiest way

As the phone kernel afterv root is in unsecure mode, when you boot the phone you will see a YELLOW triangle,. This si Samsung internal process to displaty kernel has been tampered with and is in a unsecured state. To fget rid of this yellow traingle, flash back stock kernel or with phone off, plugin the JIG. ALL these stuffs I have listed in Page 1

I also started knowing ZERO about these stuffs. What I did is just research, google and read XDA ( like reading bible). And to help fellow users, I started this thread. And I am still learning new stuffs every day from XDA and from other users in this forum. Stuffs I think useful I will posts it up in the first 7 posts
