well... if you follow the guide that is stickied to the top of this forum, http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-sprint-hero/38911-guide-root-rom-faq-tutorial.html then either do the manual way (copy/paste the commands) or use Fresh Kitchen. both ways work great..

I did it the manual way.. copied and pasted commands.. took me a total of 10 minutes.. that included flashing to Fresh 1.1

You have asked a lot of questions that have been answered simply by reading the guide.

You can either root manually or auto. Read the guide please as it explains it all

yeah i am just new to this and am trying to find an easier way. I am afraid if i do it manually i will brick the phone.

You can try the auto way if it makes you feel more secure. However, doing it manually will not break your phone. Just remember to read carefully, take your time, read and re-read again and again. Watch the videos, read again, etc. Copy and paste the commands, make sure everything works as indicated, one step at a time.

In fact, I still (and probably always will) advocate rooting manually. It gives you a little knowledge of the coding, so should something go wrong in the future, you'll have at least a general idea of how to fix it.

Not to mention it seems the majority of the people that come on here with problems after rooting have used the auto-rooter

The guide helped me when I rooted the phone...I too was skeptical, but the guide knows all...The fun part is finding a Rom that you like...just remember to make a nandroid backup before reflashing roms...
