Root New to rooting

[Hazmatt86]

Hey guys and gals,
I'm a complete newbie to rooting. Right now, I'm looking for any tips, tricks, and dangers of rooting the Incredible 2. I'm running 2.3.4, which from what I've read, I'm going to have to downgrade to root. Also, I'm looking at any suggested ROM you might have. In terms of Roms, I do really like sense from HTC, but I'm open to exploring other options. Thanks for your help!
Also, I have read the above sticky, just hoping to find more details.

I finally bit the bullet and rooted last night. It was very easy and I had my phone downgraded to 2.3.3 and rooted in about an hour.

I'm still learning myself as to what all the different lingo means when reading through the posts for the different ROMs. I decided to just pick one and loaded GingerBandSense.

Before you begin, make sure you have fast boot disabled and debugging enabled.

Check youtube out for videos. It can be a little comforting to actually see what the screens look like at a particular step.
I waited 18 months before I rooted my Eris, rooted my Inc2 the day I got it. You just need to know the correct steps at the correct sequence.
Piece of cake...
