12-07-2010 03:48 PMI do not know what phone you have and that can make a difference on the rooting process. However, here are a few links that will help:

THIS IS WHAT ROOT MEANS (stop asking)
What you need to know about rooting:
I urge you to read and reread. Make notes and if you have questions post them.
Hope this is helpful.

12-07-2010 04:13 PMI note you have a Droid so here are some additional links.
Multiple phones - Root them, unroot them
Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version
Read both several times. Make sure you throughly understand then make you decision.

12-07-2010 04:20 PMThanks again for the info. It sounds like, if you root your phone wrong, your phone is basically no good! Again, thanks for your time.

12-07-2010 04:24 PMThat is correct. The "official" term is "bricked" (like a paper weight). Thankfully, I do not believe that we have lost one yet.
