Root [Revised] Rooting Gingerbread 2.3.5 Dummies Guide

Ok I've hit a snag. I'm in the cmd window and I'm trying to get the identifier token and its saying "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file". What should i do?
 
Do you have all 5 files downloaded and installed or in correct folders?
You said phone is in fastboot, when you plugged it in, did it say fastboot-usb on the phone?
Are you opening the command line from the Android folder?
 
this application has failed to starrt because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. re-installing this application may fix this problem. Ive tried this 3 times now...but at least its progress.

OK apparently i'm worse off than i thought. when i try to copy the message it just un-highlights what i am trying to copy. how am i supposed to copy that am i just really that dense?
 
Hey guys having a little trouble that I'm thinking could be linked to me rooting my phone but I'm not totally sure. Has anyone heard of their phone having a lot of trouble charging after they flashed a new ROM? I feel like the first quetion will be with my kernel but I can say that I have not changed that since rooting my phone. All I've done is flashed the mik ROM and downloaded some apps since rooting. This could be a problem that has nothing to do with the rooting but I'm just not sure and don't want to bring it into Sprint just for them to tell me my warranty is void and they wont replace anything. The phone is charging very briefly and then just stops charging after a little and the only way to get it to charge fully is after MANY MANY times unplugging it and replugging it in, which is so stressful at night when I have no idea whether or not it will stay charging or it will be dead when I wake up (if I wake up, since its also my alarm). Just wondering if anyone has heard of this linked with rooting at all since about 2-3 weeks after I did it is when it started
