Easy four step process.
1. Post in the right place, like general or Q & A.
2. Learn about your device, like SPL and Radio, Board etc.
3. SEARCH. It's easy to do.
4. Follow the guides or wiki guide to modding your device.
Really, just try searching. All this information has been discussed alot.

Same way you root any G1....

I'm having the same problem, and no, don't say read up or do a search, been there done that. Infact, I did root my g1 originally to try out a ROM, then unrooted it and thats when I got an update for the DMD64 build.
Anyone any luck with rooting a DMD64?

u gotta downgrade your firmware to r29 before rooting again

Go to the unlockr.com and search for how to make a goldcard for your micro SD then follow the rooting step then you should be OK
If you need any more help let me know.

As a side note: Have you tried downgrading (as you would with any other G1?)

[q] flashing to the leaked 2.2 build and rooting...

Is it still possible to root the captivate if i flash to the new build? I just got this phone and I really want to do both of these..lol. Please someone let me know. I already downloaded the guide from this site. So I just want to know if I get the new build, is it possible to follow the same root instructions that are for 2.1? Thanks in advanced.

Yes it's still possible to root, but with a different ( more complicated ) method as of now. It's not the same as rooting on 2.1. You can find couple of threads regarding rooting froyo in development section.

rooting htc hero sprint 1.5

trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help
Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.

[Q] Need some explanaions

Hi Guys
This is a good day since I got the inspire. I have been rooting phones for more then a year. Nexus one and Captivate
All I need is to understand what am I doing.
q. What is s-off?
q. why do I need to downgrade and what is that in general?
q. what is the gold card?
q, what is the best way to root my phone.
I know that this is a really annoying noob questions but I will really appreciated some info.
Thank you guys
Q: What is s-off?
A: S-OFF is a trigger in Android that tells your phone you can mess with it. It allows you to flash ROMs and kernels and whatever else you would like. You have to have it to root.
Q: Why do I need to downgrade and what is that in general?
A: You need to downgrade to get S-OFF. Downgrading is installing another rom that let's you get S-OFF.
Q: What is the gold card?
A: A gold card lets you downgrade.
Q: What is the best way to root my phone.
A: Almost ready for a release.
Mmmmm
What is the best way again
I dont see a download link for the easy root. Can u help?
Coming soon.
Ok. What do i do right now?
Look for attn post on hacking the inspire and getting root etc.. follow those directions and you'll be fine. In the future searching can help you answer your questions as well.

moved to general as not android development
the only way to root your phone is to follow the instructions in attn1s hack kit. it comes with all the tools necessary for rooting/installing a custom rom onto your phone. there are detailed instructions, and if you need any help, visit the link in my sig.

[Q] A ROOTING guide for idiots?

I've read some guides and what not for rooting my Transformer, and I'm still lost.
I just need the stuff that came in the OTA update that was pulled, and I'd like root access.
Can someone write an idiots guide to doing all this....
I'm not sure why this was moved, seems it would be better in the devlopment section, but whatever.
Still, anyone?

It's because there shouldn't be questions in the dev section. Also the posted guide in the dev section from apache14 is as detailed as it ever could be (every step is explained in detail), what more are you looking for?
Rooting methods involving adb can look intimidating, but if you read carefully and follow the directions its really not that difficult. I haven't rooted my asus yet but I recently rooted my thunderbolt and xoom. The asus method looks no more complicated.

Yes an other noob questions

...
If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.
im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.
