Where's rooting 101?

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?

I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.

Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.

Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

That's the point. Go read and learn something instead of being lazy. The scripts being posted earlier were screwing up people's phones. I'll also add the wiki to the OP.

thanks for advice, i'm symbian retired and hacking symbian more easier than this shift one .
i will try to read from the begining, coz 1 mistake and my fone will dead forever, coz no HTC service center in Semarang-Indonesia X_X

Great instructions here, read up people! Very informative thanks Vicodan.

Is there a linux version of this? I've had trouble with Wine and I'd rather not risk running the Windows .exe on Linux.

The .exe of what? Have you read the thread? If you did, you'd know the RUU or the HTC sync exe is not a required step.
adb works on linux without drivers.

Updates this thread, please unpin it and pin the thread this thread links to. Thanks.

Bloody hell, use the search function! It isn't difficult!
Having said that, this is a complete guide to doing so. And yes, the ROMs tend to be multi-lingual and a lot support RTL writing for Arabic. It should state in the OP if it does.

Does it never occur to you guys on here that we are not all technically savvy as you and just want simple answers to simple questions Nigeldg ?
I've clicked on the link you've suggested and I can't follow it myself, How's this poor fella in Egypt going to ????

Google Video is your best friend!
Jayceooi hd2 video tutorials are very clear and simple to follow!
Download the videos and watch them over and over again until you get it!
Once you have had sufficient exposure to the process of installing nand android (like original) come back to xda and read the tutorials just to make sure the information is up to date!
Don't rush! Keep watching the videos until you "get it"!
Download the files needed to flash. Place them in folders numbered to the sequence required for installation.
I know you feel a little inundated now but once you watch the videos it will make sense!

As you are a native English speaker (or have a bloody good translator) you should EASILY be able to follow that guide. I'm 14 and I could, and I had literally no experience of anything like this beforehand. @lunchmoney (lol) jayceooi's tutorials are indeed very good, and show the step-by step-with text + have links to the XDA threads for downloads and he also answers all his questions on his website.

SD roms that load with haret
Do all sd builds load using haret? For example: Could I run ICS beta 2 using haret?
Thanks for the support...

Because on top of developing, working and their social lives, developers have time to help people such as yourself who can't search? Just read the guide in my sig, all should be clear.
