I'm new to rooting an Android device, and am trying to find a clear, step-by-step guide so that I don't miss anything and end up bricking my device.
The only 1-2-3 guide I've found so far is the one over at the CM Wiki (which I cannot link here). However, I heard some people mention in the AlpharevX Thread for Windows that this guide may not work, and you could end up FUBARing your device.
I was hoping someone may be able to chime in an either 1) verify that the guide I linked above is kosher, and I'm good to go, or 2) provide a step-by-step instruction set for all the noobs who have no real idea what they're diong.
Thanks.

Hi,
I see the Evo has a simple root process with a program now ( XDA News on main page ), just wondered if anyone is working on a similar program for the Desire as i'm a bit nervous of rooting my phone with the current method, thanks.
There really is nothing to be nervous about! There used to be problems with older methods, but the new method now is virtually foolproof.
Give it a try and if you get stuck or panic then post here for help.
Simple things to remember are follow the steps in whatever guide you use, and let the process finish, be patient as sometimes things look like they are stuck, but they are not!
There is virtually no risk in rooting the Desire now.

Hi.
A very good Tutorial with Videos is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Take a look and remember to read it all before starting.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask them here. I'll try to answer as much as I can, but other members can help too.
I used the thread mentioned above when I came to root my HTC, everything worked perfectly.
Step-by-step instructions.. can't really go wrong
Hi, I have tried following leedroids steps to flash his custom rom but encountered problems which I wont bore you with. The write up is fantastic but I think I need a youtube guide as I keep getting it wrong.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best youtube guides for flashing htc desire hd as soon as its been unboxed. Alot of the guides I have seen start with "you should already have rooted your phone" or something similar.
Just looking for a full comprehensive youtube guide on what to do from the very first step. I've read pretty much every post on here and clicked every link but I am a complete newb and idiot.
i dont know of any good youtube guides, but maybe if you asked some questions about where in the process you are stuck, community members could help you
Hey everyone I have been trying to root my G2 for a few days here and am getting very frustrated trying to follow all these youtube videos. Could someone please email me step by step instructions if you have it along with any apps I need to download this would be very helpful. I go through Visionary to do the temproot but it never works. Please help. Email me here if possible
dude, there are guides all over these threads... literally all over. Even stickied, there's even multiple root methods.
Go to unlockr.com for perm s off root instructions. They use Visionary and have step by step details. Very easy, take u maybe 10 mins

I'd suggest going to the Android Development forum and checking out the Wiki and the guide posts to find the easiest version of rooting for you. There are several options up that are easy to follow.
So I'm going to be honest, we're completely lost here on how we're supposed to get this guy unlocked/rooted. There are no straightforward guides for the new user on how to do this.
Where do I even start? I download a toolkit? Then what?
All these supposed guides or for advanced users.
Do I unlock FIRST or roll back drivers
I always recommend reading up quite a bit before you start rooting and flashing roms, I read up for several days before I began. Also it can be addictive having a rooted phone.

Hi,
I'm unsure on which thread to follow to root my device for best outcome.
First link talks about steps that are in the following second link. It talks about following steps in 1,2,3 for example, but doesn't list all of them. I'm curious to know if by leaving some steps out would I make a mistake or what? Whereas the second link provides the root guide but with less information, and is not related to first thread and I assume is to guide you in rooting your device successfully. I hope I'm not confusing this.

EDIT
I have tried following first link, but sadly failed when entering a code. Would it be best to try second link and follow those steps? I don't want to be missing out valuable steps that could screw me over.
