Hello can someone one point me in the right direction to root a buddys X and flash a Rom and what Rom u suggest ??

The easiest way to root your phone is to use Z4Root, I believe it is still in the Market. After you've rooted, the easiest way to ROM is simply go to one of their threads here, and follow the directions for that very ROM. All three of Apex, Fission, and Liberty are good. It's a matter of personal preference. Remember to wipe when they the instructions to tell you to do so, and always make a nandroid backup.
Oh BTW, when you use Z4Root, you have to be patient, it can take a long time, and sometimes it simply takes one or few tries. Just let it run, and if like 15 minutes and it's still sitting there doing nothing, pop out the battery if it's frozen, and just restart the app if it isn't.
I suggest you use liberty. 1.5. It has many customization options that I enjoy. But fission and apex are also very good roms
Guys can u plz tell me where to get the roms plz doing this for a friend

Nandroid backup in the recovery you installed during the rooting process will backup your ROM, data, settings, etc., but that does not allow you to transfer/copy/backup apps, data, or settings between ROMs. For that, you'd need something like Titanium Backup.

Wrong section, thread hijacking, and learn to look in the OP for the thread of the ROM you want.

if bo's recommendation isnt working out for you try the one in here;
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/246462-theme-help-tutorial.html
scroll through and find carrier change.
you'll be making the same edit but through a whatever theme you are applying and then bootstrap it on to your phone.

Not that easy..
Before i give you instructions on how to do it, i need to know if you know how to compile/decompile apk's.
Also.. i'll not be responsible if you screw things up!
I doubt it, I think I will give up on it

Well... you will have to have some IT skills and read a couple of forums related to what you want to do and make nandroid backup... it it fails just go back.

Hi
I have read over and over again on how to root and still not understand it. I read wiki and for some reason I dont know if its my computer or my phone anyway I would really really appreciate any help you can give a noob. I have downloaded the froyo eco5. And it stinks and I would really like to learn how to install a custom rom. I used to be able to do it on my Samsung Omnia but that was easier. Im going to be on all afternoon so if someone has the time I would really appreciate it
Thanks
Jeff
Well if u want to root there's a 1 click root in the dev section I would say do the one with clockworkmod 3.0.0.6 it converts u to ext4 and most roms now require clockworkmod 3 anyways. Make sure u read good and have a rom ready to flash cuz if u do cwm3 when u first boot into recovery it will convert u to ext4 and u have to flash a rom right afther its done. DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE until u flash the rom that is very important. Good luck buddy

Watch these videos, if you still can't get it just give up
Don't turn off your phone unless nothing is happening for at least 10 minutes, make sure you have USB debugging on in Settings>Applications>development and do not hit "Connect USB" when using one click root.
Hey guys, I can't seem to find instructions to root my fascinate, running ed05... if someone can link me to those it would be greatly appreciated

I would just flash the powerwashed rom...its already rooted. Read the guide I posted in the q/a section.
If you only want root then type " how to root froyo or gingerbread on fascinate" in google as previously mentioned.
+1 for the power washed rom
Droidstyle posted the "STEP BY STEP " guide, and works FLAWLESSLY , you cant go wrong. very easy to follow.

Yep, google must be broken again and atm I don't have any clean silverware to spoon feed you with. So, it looks like you're gonna have to learn like everyone else. And if worse comes to worse, just throw away your phone and get a bionic, development won't even be an issue with it. Good luck
