Question [Q] Need help rooting

Hi, this is my first android phone (Dell Venue). I got it about 2 weeks ago, and have been trying to root it since. I have tried z4, superoneclick several versions new and old, and universal androot 1.6.1. Not sure if any of those shouldn't be used on this phone but am completely new and I have no idea about the terms being used or anything for that matter. I have tried turning off my phone and turning it on for superoneclick. I have tried to toggle dev access. None seem to work. The closest i got was with the 2.1.1 superoneclick and trying to turn it back on when it says, "waiting for device", this goes all the way to step 5 and then it errors out saying "remounting/system with read-write access...error: closed. FAILED".

I have 2.2.2 froyo on it and not sure if you require any further information. I would really like to root this phone, if someone can help me with pictures or a video on how i can do this or tell me what it is i'm doing wrong, it would be much appreciated. I have tried this on windows 7 64bit, windows XP pro, windows xp, and windows 32bit.

Please can someone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks,

Vai
