First you should be a little more clear in your terminology. Do you simply want root, or S-OFF? Many new new users (such as yourself) use "root" as a blanket term for both process, when they really are two COMPLETELY different things. In most cases what users really want is S-OFF. Rooting, for the most, part simply gives apps an administrative level access to system files allowing them to function properly and deliver capabilities that are typically blocked by system. It can give you the ability to change recovery and OS software as well. S-OFF, on the other hand, fully removes security on the device allowing you to flash, not only system files, but firmware, hboot, and radio as well. So what do you really want to do?

**edit** Also if you are looking for step by step instructions, there are several tutorials in the Development section. Please utilize the forum search function and you WILL find your answers.

U r right I'm also new but I had to read and read before I was able to do both these guys think they are dealing with iPhones which needless to say that apple dev teams make it so easy to unlock and jailbreak. Well here at the droid droid family I've been forced to learn not only how to make my device somewat eye candiesh but how it wrks what makes it work what to and not to do. I'm still in the process but ill get up there with a theme or at least boot logo lol:confused: or I will :banghead:
