Rooted my Vibrant tonight. After transferring the rooting file to my phone, somehow it ended up being named update.zip.zip. My first attempt didn't work with the file named this way. Read some forums and found this issue. I renamed the file correctly "update.zip", on my phone and tried again. Bingo, I am now rooted. Had the confirmation file: Superuser Permissions under applications. Didn't know what to do from there. Checked forums again and found I needed Titanium Backup Free to delete the root applications. That working, I then concentrated on getting wifi tethering to work. I downloaded the wifi tethering app, copied to my phone, and installed. My laptop immediately saw the phone as a wifi source and could connect but the laptop could not connect to the internet. Bummer. After some checking in network settings, on my laptop, I found I needed to set the connection to the phone wifi as a home network. Bingo! Now I can use my Vibrant as a wifi source and connect it to my laptop usb port to charge my phone. Aroooooooo!
