Need help with root!

I have decided to finally root a device. I have done much research, but just couldnt take the plunge with my D1. I just got back to the states after being overseas for six months and i got a D2 Global. I have made the decision to root. I tried Z4 root and that didnt work. Yesterday i spent all day trying to do it through my mac terminal with no success. I need some help. I really want to root. I have gone through all of the trouble shooting for the mac 1-2-3 root and i was doing everything right it just wouldnt take. Someone with patience and knowlege with macs please help!

 

I got the update this morning. But I dont have z4 root and they took it of the market.

 

once i download that apk how do i install it on my phone and run it?

 

Is z4 root and the 1-2-3 root the same thing? Do they give superuser ability to the same apps ?

 

OK thank you. I am trying that now. I hope this works i have been trying to root my phone for three days. I am learning though.

 

i just tried to download the file but i think they removed it cause it wont go on my phone

 

I just rooted (or at least I think I rooted) with z4 thank you guys for your help. Now I can't seem to load any Roms I have been trying with RM. Should I get bootstrap instead? And what are some good Roms and where do I get them? Sorry for all the dummy questions.
