I saw somebody say it was the stock browser but Idk. PM me your email and I'll send it to you :)

I have tried several times to download z4root from the xda developers site, but everytime I try it says "cannot download, content is not supported on this phone" Does anybody know why it would be saying this? I think I have finally built up the courage to root my DX after researching it for the past couple weeks, so if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.

When I do root all I want to do to start is wifi tethering, overclocking/underclocking, and use titanium to freeze some bloatware. Would I need to creat a backup for that or is that mainly needed for when installing custom roms

Rule #1: ALWAYS make a backup :)

You'll be using Droid X Bootstrapper by Koush and Clockworkmod Recovery. I'll walk you through that though :)
Just sent you the Z4root.apk. Go ahead and go to Settings > Applications and click the "Unknown Sources" box (Ignore the warning) and then Development and turn "USB Debugging" on.

What is the best program to use to make a backup?

I know that rooting your phone voids the warranty, but if something happened to my phone while it was rooted would I be able to unroot it and still use the warranty?

If you follow the steps that droid does and I tell you you will be fine and never want a stock phone once you realize these things full potential.
