I'm not afraid to root my phone. I've done it before. It's just so damn tedious. I've tried Wug's toolkit, and unfortunately it didn't work. I wonder if I should back up my data and factory reset my phone.
In case you are unaware, Titanium Backup can now back up your unrooted phone's data - ADB required. Head over to the Titanium Track website for the news blurb.
