Newbie needs help

[VtHondaGuy08]

Alright I'm new to the whole android scene, I made the switch from blackberries to the Aria. Love it so far, I've done as much research as I can on it and for the life of me can't figure out the whole Rooting process and everything along with it. I've read what is does and wouldn't consider myself the best with computers but I do know some things. So I was wondering if there is a guide anywhere to explain the process more in depth, for beginners per-say. I've done numerous Os upgrades to my bb's but its 1000X's easier. So any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry I've this is in the wrong section/ or its already been answered and I just can't find it.

P.S. I've read the guide on here and was wondering if theres a more in depth version of that. Thanks

I'm not sure if this answer is gonna help you much, but attn1's guide (most likely the one you read) is pretty much THE guide to go-to for rooting our lovely little Arias. Its as detailed as you can get, which unfortunately means you need a little know how around things like installing the Android SDK, using Command Line prompts (i.e. Terminal in OSX, what I used to root my Aria), and add a LOT of patience. There are guides for all of these, but I don't think you can get any more detailed than those, at the moment.

I believe there is research going on for a much easier, beginner-proof method to root the Aria. For now, however, we are left with the "more difficult" method. Its not too bad, but mistakes can be costly. As I said before too, it could take 1 try.. or 1000 tries to get it rooted.. so patience is definitely a virtue.
