    The WiFi option seems to have stopped working as soon as I rooted my device.
    And I am a beginner to this, so could you guide me as to how I can make better use of the rooted device? For starters, it would be nice if u told me how to upgrade it to JellyBean, or something like that?

      Dear Vignesh,
      You may face problems on rooted devices. I would suggest you to install any of your favorite stable ROM. You should read this, if you are using a HTC Desire: How To Install Nameless ROM on HTC. Please clarify if you are using any other device.

    Hi, I would like to know how long approximately does the phone reboot on step number 7? I was like on the HTC reboot screen for more than 5 mins then suddenly decided to cut the process and haven't tried it again. Can you help me on what needs to be done in this kind of instances or could I probably missed on something. I would appreciate to hear anything from you.

    Thanks
