I have a MyTouch 4G Android phone, I just downloaded Avast mobile and I chose to root my phone to get all control over it but when I try to activate the firewall it tells me it can’t if you phone is already rooted check to see if your permissions will allow the SU for the firewall but don’t tell you how to do it? It also tells me, my wireless is 3G and my phone is 4G? Is this program changing my phone to 3G from 4G? How do I allow my firewall. my phone is already rooted but can’t run firewall
