At a guess - and reading between the lines somewhat... I should imagine he wants fedora friendly tools to do the job...

@OP: Check this site - there are comprehensive tutorials on their forum for many models of phone and links to the linux tools necessary

Hi, OP

this is not about "rooting", but if you want something new, try this

Inferno OS on Android phones.

Little or nothing. Thread moved.

Did you try doing a "hard reset" on the phone? Just make sure you do a contact, pictures, etc backup...

Yep, definitely would help to know what phone you have.
Also would like to suggest that if you live in EDMONTON or CALGARY, you can change phone service providers... windmobile.ca -- unlimited data = no charge for downloads

that sounds good but do they have a buissnes account deal? i need one where i can do avpn and scramble my phones ip address to comunicate from a diferent ip address and drop all data packets not on the vpn
i could only do that with a buisness connection

im using the sony erricson experia arc

maybe it's slightly off-topic, but if you are looking for a android based open source replacement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanogenmod

But it's a bit behind. Cynagenmod 9 will be based on Android 4.0. The stable 9 release of this is not released yet, only rc1.

Work on Android 4.0 is being dropped, it will never go stable. Changes between 4.0 and 4.1 are fairly minute, all work is being transitioned to 4.1 immediately.

I'm not sure how the carrier/service plan relates to your ability to use a VPN. VPN is configured at the phone level, Settings --> Networks --> VPN
