Root Can someone help us with this?

I'm looking for someone to write and maintain a really easy "how-to" for newbies. There's an All-in-one rooting guide that I sticked in the top post, but it's somewhat out of date with the advent of 2.2.1.

Here's what I'm looking for:

1) How can I 1 step root my phone? (give the link for z4root)
2) How can I unroot 1 step... use the same app.

3) How can I restore my phone if I brick (link the files to rsdlite and the appropriate sbf for the build) and give directions. I think the directions in the all in one post are pretty good, just the files are out of date because they are for 2.2

4) What's a rom and how do I update to it? (again..as easy as possible, using rom mgr, let's say, and making sure they have installed droid x bootstrapper.)

5) What's a theme and how do I install over a rom?

That would be it. Any takers? Let me know. If there are no takers I can do it myself, but I'd rather spread the wealth. :)

TIA

i heard you were doing it Steve!

when its done it should be a must read before any other part of the root section is available. :)

Steven glares at Tom for too long and Tom gets a bit uncomfortable. ;)
 
Might I ask why another guide is in the works when RoOoLeR's guide is well written and pretty recent?

Good question. I want something very very simple using apps that are 1 click and foolproof.

Makes our job easy.
 
If this was not in the middle of finals I would put one together. If no one has done it after wednesday shoot me a PM and I'll get to typing!
 
You're already halfway there! I say just continue with what you have. :)

Of course it will have to be updated almost daily thanks to TBH and the different ROMS and how they work with each new update/etc...
