Root Rooting questions

[RoxyR]

I'm pretty much new (ignorant) on this whole idea of rooting and what not. I don't know any of the phone software lingo so I get lost when I read all the threads Haven't done much research but I'd like to know how to root and upgrade my Transform since it's very slow and it's SO annoying. Any kind of help will be appreciated

Welcome to the forums!

The lingo can be challenging, true enough.

Main thing to know is that getting root access is the same idea as having Admin access on your PC.

It gives you control of your phone's software.

Important thing on rooting - take your time, read, ask all the questions that you want first. Others have been in your shoes starting out - like, all of us - and can get you going.
