Hello everyone. I haven't been able to maintain this beginners' guide, but I highly recommend the following two threads:
Droidstyle's guide has anything and everything you need to get rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
User jawman27 has put together a glossary to help new users understand rooting terminology:

Enjoy.
Nice job!!

Great writeup I wish there was something like this around back when I was a noob. I like how you explained what everything meant... Good job man...

Thanks for this. I've been debating whether or not I should root my Fascinate and this just may give me the confidence to give it a try!
Nice job!

No, this is strictly for the Fascinate, I don't really know the specifics but the mesmerize is different, I think theres a separate forum for that phone.
Great job Bawb3. I wish there was also something like this for stock app preferred replacements/alternatives all grouped together. For example, Dolphin instead of the default browser, debinged browser, replacement SMS clients, and 'must-have' apps for post rooting. Something like that, maybe to go hand in hand with this guide, to get newbies started. I would do it myself but I'm still a newbie. Wishful thinking, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks!

Maybe thats something I could put together in the future, for now I'm just trying to help the new people, and maybe reduce the clutter of simple question threads that this guide could help weed out.
P.s. thanks for all the compliments everyone!
Great
Great guide, it took me about two days of digging to understand all of this and you put it in one nice package.

Yeah, kinda why I tried to put everything together in one guide. It's hard to cover everything, but theres plenty of other guides for different things floating around.
Thank you for this beginner's guide. I'm new to flashing and rooting but following your instructions and links, I now have a sweet android phone I can call my own.

I'll try and keep this updated when we make progress with asop and gingerbread as well.

Thank you SO much! I think this has been one of THE BEST guides I have seen thus far.. It explains pretty much EVERY in great common language. Now if only I can get past my current roadblock so I can actually continue through all of these steps :/ but when I do, I'm coming back to this thread for reference!
Thank you!
This guide is great! Thank you, it sure helped me to have a better understanding of root, roms, and kernel's.

Thank you.
One suggestion, maybe host the root file on your post or offer up a mirror link. Registering for another forum is no biggie, but I'd rather not since I'm more comfortable here on XDA.

Is with great honour im here to tell you guys the good news.
Project Cheesecake was a great success, and Stevendeb25 manage to pull an Orange UK update with unlock capable bl.
I want to thank everyone who tried, participated, or contributed.
This was a community effort, and now the community can share the win!
**** yes! No censoring for something this epic.
This is awesome. Good work to everyone involved!
nice!

Finally! The whole atrix community is equal Forget the AT&T Atrix, the Bell Atrix, and the rest. Soon there will just be the atrix n_n
Much thanks
Woohoo!!
Nice work everyone.
Sweeeeet! Good job!
Awesome! Thank you guys very much!!!!
Now the fatal question: when we will have the pudding to apply on our phones and enjoy the leaked GB?
Sweet! Looking forward to an unlocked BL and android 2.3.4, then waiting time for CM 7. Are we going to get a download/instructions on how to do everything? I am assuming we will need to push the unlockable BL to any international phone, unlock the phone, then push any ROM we want!?
I know we shouldn't ask for ETAs, but is this pretty much done and we just need someone to write a tutorial? or are we still going to be waiting a couple of days?
Stevendeb25 I want your babies.

you have no idea how good of news this is. this now means the atrix pool of potential users is sufficiently large enough such that its worth it for devs to make good ROMs for this device. i'm so buying an atrix soon.
Wonderful news. Any word on which carriers' devices this will unlock?
I hate to say this but i almost cried when i read about the unlocked bootloader(been monitoring the whole thing since last month every single minute,day and minute). If i had words to describe how much i appreciate what you guys are doing for the Atrix community, i definitely would. Thanks a lot folks.

Couldn't have said it better myself...
Now just remember folks....give the dev's time.....our patience is of importance.
Things will happen so just let them do their thing....we've gotten this far...just wait to see how far we now can take this device.....P.S. BIG SHOUT OUT TO SAMCRIPP FOR STARTING THIS PROJECT TO BEGIN WITH....I SALUTE YOU MY FRIEND =)
I'm so happy I could fellate someone!!!
On second though, maybe I'll just 'Thank' every one of you kind, handsome men!!
One last question... If this gets released are we still referring to it as cheesecake our is it now orange pudding?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Having an att atrix myself..i can truly say I'm happy for our community and amazing work guys.... To all the people who laughed at our atrix and left, devs as well left...
The real devs who stuck it out ...thank you guys!! Now let our UNIFIED reign begin and lets unleash this beast!!

I know there have been many threads started in response to many people within the community wanting to learn Android Development. Well for those who dnt wanna read thru paragraphs and paragraphs of info, I came up on this. Its basically about a 200 video tutorial containing ~20 hours of walk thru's specific to Android Development...

Samsung not only sent me a new phone, they sent me the Galaxy S 4G.... I no longer have a working Vibrant. I will leave my guides up and try to check them periodically.
If I am able to assist ANYONE, OR if my guides need to be updated, please let me know.
This is my 4th Android device, and I have to say the Vibrant had the best of everything. I am very grateful to you all and hope to help down the road!
ALSO, YOU ALL LIKELY KNOW THAT XDA USER OKA1 SENT ME HIS HD2 AS A LOANER... ITS AMAZING, AND NOW FOR SELL. PLEASE SHARE THIS LISTING VIA SOCIAL OUTLETS. CASEY DESERVES IT... A TRUE ASSET TO THIS COMMUNITY!!!

Once upon a time not so long ago my vibrant got stuck in a crazy bootloop and your guide bailed my noob-a#% out at 2 am. Many thanks bro... good luck

There goes another. As with all that have departed that have been an asset here you will be missed. Not sure I've ever personally interacted with you but I've always paid attention when I've seen your user name in a post or thread, always good information. Good luck we'll still be watching.

And all of that was a result of THIS community. I meant it, I consider myself lucky to have been a part of it. The pasture is not always greener... I can already tell I am going to miss the OG Vibrant - the 4G lost 15GB of internal memory.... that is absurd. I do not use a FFC, but the download speeds are about double... so I wont complain too much.
Thank you all for the kind words. I meant it, let me know if I can help.
Also, the Vibrant 4G guides suck - think I have some work to do
Your loss to the vibrant community is as big as a dev leaving. Thanks for all your help to me. You and your guides helped me so much. I don't think there is anyone here that tried to help and be as positive about it as you. Congratulations on the new phone. God bless bro!!
sad to see ya go s15274n, i remember it was your noob guide that got my vibrant rooted to begin with, and the rest was history, i know you'll help guide that section to its potential like you helped this one.
Although I have not personally interacted with you, have seen lot of helpful articles and guides from you. Makes me sad some of the most vocal guys and active devs are leaving lately. I guess it was just a matter of time. Vibrant being my first smart phone and still so much in love with, the feeling is kinda weird. I keep myself up-to-date with all the latest in the world of mobile phones and nothing has made me think of upgrading from Vibrant so far (except the GS II international). Wish you the best with Vibrant 4G. Stop by once a while if you have important android news to share, okay?
Thanks a lot for your help. Greetings
A sad day indeed. Thanks for all that you did for us

I'll echo the general sentiment and say thanks for everything you've done and will do.
I know you posted this a few months ago Tazz, but wanted to say keep your head up, and as Monty Python's singing dudes would sing "Always look on the bright side of life" Thanks for all your Eris work, you made me truly enjoy rooting and flashing ROMs, I still do w/the 'bolt and I'm holding out for the Inc 4G (by the time I'm ready for an upgrade in the fall somebody will have it rooted w/rockin' ROMs I'm sure).
Take care of yourself, sorry things have been sh*tty lately
Truly my favorite eris developer. I hope things are looking up. Stay safe in this blizzard and go Bruins!
