I just wanted to say great first post...hopefully someone will find the way to root YOUR phone because according to the 100 or so other threads, if you would have SEARCHED FIRST nobody else has been able to get it but I have faith you might be the one. So please when you get the way to root will you please share it with the rest of us! But you might wanna check the first thread at the top of the Q and A forum I think the info u need is there. So when you figure root out please report back how you did it! Oh thanks again for one of the best first posts we have seen...
P.S. HOW FA KING HARD IS IT TO SEARCH BEFORE YOU FA KING POST!

I'll give $20 to someone who will walk me through rooting my phone, via paypal.
It's the holidays so I can't do it now, however, I'd like to do it within the next few days.
I'd like to do it via skype. I'll have my cam ready so you can see my phone and computer screen, if you need to.
I'm afraid I'll mess something up, I read through the final frontier post for rooting, and it was so confusing for me, so I'd rather have someone help me and I will reimburse them.
I have hboot 2.10, version 0003 and my computer is windows 7 64 bit. I don't know if that matters but hey.
Thanks!

Use unrevoked. Its as simple as installing a few drivers and following the menus.

Great if I come across a joke I can use it..
Read through the last 20 pages or so of zicronix root method then read through the steps a few times and you should be fine. I just rooted my phone a couple days ago with hboot 2.10, with little problems and nothing I couldn't handle on my own.

Don't blame you man. The questions he asked he could of found in the same time it took him to actually post his question. You were nice enough to help him and post links, I just cant do that with some people who to me have to be lazy if they can;t find simple stuff. Two question in Q&A today can someone post a link to Decks rom -Really? and this one.. There are a million stock rooted roms in Development and I bet ya Google would of helped him as well...
sorry did not mean to rant.... I'm out!
Ok guys don't blast me. I haven't been on this page in like 2 days because of work. Thanks for finding those links for me Shorty. I don't have the ability to surf the site on PC and it takes too long to surf on the phone and its even more complicated to surf on the app. I thank everyone who helps me on here cuz I know others take time out of the things they have to do to help people like me. Sorry for not replying to this sooner. Its not my fault I work all the time.

And searching Google never led me to any of the links I needed. I try to help however I can when I can. I just don't have a lot of time to actually surf the site. If I search using the app it doesn't bring up the right pages. If I had a PC it would be easier. so thanks again Shorty.

The reason that i ask this question is that i bought my mother a droid incredible 2 as she needed a solid phone to use for her business and something for her emails, easy web access, amongst many other things business oriented that her LG flip phone couldnt do. The issue is i dont live anwhere near her so i cant do the only root methof that we currently have, bc im not there, and it would be overly dificult to remote in and explain to her and all that. My question is, is there going to be something as easy as unrevoked or revolutionary that will come out for this update? THat i can explain over the phone, not a problem. Dont flame me for asking, if you look at my stats ive been here for some time and dont need someone telling me to wait if im a noob, im not, i just dont have easy access to the phone. also, is there any easy way to to tether? without root? like changing something in the service menu? that is a fool proof tested way to work? sorry for all the questions, ive stopped coming here for a while bc f some dooche in the fascinate forums, that ended up in the thunderbolt forums, that then ended up in the bionic forums and i just got tired of him. Good to be back all, thanks in advance for any help

"Any progress on 2.3.4 Root update? Besides Clip?"
I've read through the forums and the answer seems to be, "Yes, you can now obtain root without the clip. But only if you're competent in Swahili, like everyone ought to be. Otherwise, you don't have any business asking questions about how to do it."

Okay I've been a little nervous to ask this in spite of the answers I may get, but I'm going to ask anyway. What exactly would I need to know to make my own ROM, tweaks, themes, hacks, and what not? I've taken 2 C++ courses although that was high school and 1 java course. I'm really interested in this, and if anyone who knows what there doing would take me under there wing to teach me. I thank anyone for any answer in advance.

Well if you want to get started I would say the easiest way would be to get an aio like mine here (There are others as well). Get your PC setup so you can decompile and compile apks and jars. Once you have that setup, I would start by looking around in the folders that it decompiles. This will help you learn where things are and how the apks work.
If you want to do theming you would need to know xml, how to edit images, and knowing java is always a plus.
Once you know where things are and feel comfortable editing apks, Then I would start learning the other stuff. ROM making, mod making, and tweaking will all get easier if you understand how the phone works.
Hope that helps get you started. Let me know if I can help you out with anything.
Shoot me questions if they pop up, can't always get back right away but I'll always try to help. Its been said before and sounds cliche, but read up. And I mean ALL over the net. The amount you learn troubleshooting your own problems as they arise(error messages etc) are invaluable and unfortunately can't be taught.
But for the other stuff, hit most of us up and you'll find help. Think I can speak for he majority of us on that one.

This is what I love about the xda community.... everyone so helpful I wish to build my own ROM someday too! I wanna take an android programming class but current college I'm attending doesn't offer it and I tried learning on my own but never could get android SDK or eclipse to install my old laptop.... gots me a way better Asus now and I always help with anything I know but that's simple stuff like making bootanimations, where stuff goes in the ROMs ( but I don't know how to make my own), I'm always experimenting with my build.prop and other tweaks til I soft brick and have to dirty flash my phone, I flash to different carriers, different prls, etc.... just simple stuff I'll gladly help. If asked I'll be a tester.... but I can't quit build my own rom

Google search will always be there for you when most needed
Ya googling only can take you so far. Not the same as an actual Mentor. If that were the case we wouldnt even have schools anymore we would just tell our kids. "Hey google it!" And educational systems would be pointless....
Thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it, so when I do have questions I can't find the answers to I am happy to have people I can go to. Although I have to put off until I get my own laptop around Christmas... soo you won't be getting anything from me for a while lol
