If you think you could hang with typing some pretty long instructions using terminal emulator, it can be done manually. It's not for the faint of heart... and if you typed in the wrong bml and screw up your phone, it wouldn't be my fault.
If you can hang with that, then cool, I could post some instructions. All this is just so much easier though with the one click method.

Ok how long is it and how do I do it

OK...
Firstly, root the phone with z4root from the market. Also get Astro file manager and Android Terminal Emulator from the market while you're there. Connectbot can also be used as a terminal.
Download the one click root 1.4.0 from noobnl to your phone. Extract the contents using Astro file manager. Copy the following files and put them on the root of your sdcard:
redbend_ua
zImage
Now open the terminal app, and type the following commands exactly:
Code:
su
cat /sdcard/redbend_ua > /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
/data/local/tmp/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Your phone will reboot after the flash.
Remember to type the commands exactly.

OK, if you want to cleanup afterwards, go back into terminal and type the following commands:
Code:
su
rm /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua
I will encourage anyone who reads this to not play with redbend_ua unless you know what you are doing. These instructions will work if done exactly to the letter.
Once again, I take no responsibility if you hose your phone.

Also, make a backup with ClockworkMod after you install it, so you have your current rom saved, just in case.

Download rom manager, then use rom manager to download clockwork mod, then use astro which is a free app available in the market which is very useful, to open the sd card folder, then go to clockwork mod folder then copy recovery-update.zip and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it just update. It's already a zip file so you don't have to type.zip. Now reboot into stock recovery and apply update.zip. Does not work with froyo. But if you down load the clockwork redirect, then you can install that once you get into clockwork recovery after you flash a froyo rom before you reboot. But using adb to flash the permanent clockwork kernel is the best way.....try this......update.zip method:
1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery
2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/clockworkmod2.5.1.0update-fixed.zip

How, how did you make it work!!!

Quick way to check if rooted?

I did the rooting process, but I'm not sure if it worked. I have the Superuser Permissions app if that counts for anything, which I have read means that I did root it correctly but I just want to double check.

Try downloading terminal emulator and type in "su" and if that box comes out of allow of don't allow click allow and u know if ur rooted

Ok I downloaded it typed su then it said allow or deny and i allowed, so I am rooted?

just to clarify, if youre gonna use Terminal to check Root run Terminal, allow permission, and type SU as Javi97100 states.... now if in Terminal it shows # sign after entering SU, then you have root.
i do believe however, if "Superuser Permissions" is in the apps list Root has been achieved

Great thanks. What would you recommend now, I flashed before but I didn't do it right I think. Should I try flashing again and what do I do before hand.

Why don't you think you did it right? Do you see the "superuser permissions" app in the app drawer/list? When you type "su" in the terminal emulator do you get a hash mark (#) instead of a $?

I think maybe he's talking about flashing a custom rom.

This is how it looks

Yes, you are rooted.

Ok and after that all it is is flashing with which ever ROM I choose and if I don't like it I can just restore with the nandroid backup up and it'll be like nothing happened right?

Process for turning S back on[/COLOR]
Download this file and unzip it to /sdcard on your device.
unroot.rar
http://www.mediafire.com/?12oi5elu7v2y8og
md5sum: aad4e64126cf8d92d7e8b5abb48fdadd
Terminal Emulator Method
1. Open up terminal editor on your device.(I prefer this method b/c you can see the output.)
a. Type "su" + enter to gain root privileges.
b. Type "cd /sdcard/unroot" + enter.
c. Type "sh unroot.sh" + enter.
d. Follow the onscreen prompts.
File Explorer Method
2. Open root explorer, sufbs, or some other file browser with root access.
a. Navigate to /sdcard/unroot.
b. Click on unroot.sh and allow it to run. Some file browsers ask permission before they execute scripts.
c. Wait 18 to 20 seconds and reboot your phone into the bootloader to check if S=on.
You now have S=ON again.
Since we opened up the nand to writes you should still retain persistent root privileges.
Hope this makes it all easier for you.
Cheers --grankin01
For everyone that is have trouble writing to the protected areas of the system after following the rooting procedures.
Reboot into Clockwork recovery and choose the mounts and storage option. From there choose mount system (or whichever protected directory you want access to) and click the trackpad. When unmount system shows you have rw access to the /system directory and all of its subs.

Look for PD15IMG.ZIP . It contains the stock rom. Just put that on the root of the sdcard. It will wipe everything. It's on a sticky in the dev forums. You just boot into hboot and follow the on screen promps.
If you are talking about the program then just uninstall it .

This should work for ya, I did not have to format my sdcard like the instructions say to and had no issues

Check your bootloader and if its 86 then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549

When using adb open up your android sdk folder, then hold SHIFT+right click. Select open command prompt window here. When the window opens type in adb devices and make sure a serial number pops up. If it does, you are good to go. The g-free method is very well written, and if you follow the instructions word for word, it is very simple.

Help getting s-off

Ok so im trying the root.sh method but no luck. I do temproot and check r/w after that I have the root.sh on my sdcard, I go to terminal emulator and type su cd /sdcard/root sh root.sh , then it does its thing it says to turn off device to see if s-off but nothing still s-on. I opened the file root.sh with adrozip but it said file is corrupted, will that be my problem? I downloaded that file from here. If anyone has that file that knows that works please post it here. Thank you guys.

what android version are you on?
IF YOU ARE ON ANDROID 2.3.4, YOU CANNOT ROOT AT THIS POINT, YOU MUST DOWNGRADE.
you could try the gfree method IF you are on android 2.2.1.
gfree method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996

Im on 2.2.1 I really dont want to use the gfree method, im not good with adb at all

If the files corrupted that's the reason its not working. Just try redownloading, or search for a different link and it should work. I followed the steps at theunlockr.com so there should be a link to the file there.

see if there an md5sum on the thread, where you downloaded the file from. Then use afv or another md5 checker to make sure its downloaded correctly. Don't forget to temp root first, use androzip to extract it to the sdcard, then run the commands. It took me sometime to finally get rooted using that method.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
