In #5 above click start(orb for vista win7), click run and type cmd and press enter(make sure you are administrator). this will be your "terminal" window. you should have c:\users\your username. type cd.., then cd.. again. should bring you to c:\. type cd tools.

do step 6 above.

for step 7 just type adb devices and press enter. copy over runindos.bat or type it in and press enter.

for his step 10, use his only if you want a mod rom. if you want stock rom left alone and keep your data intact, then flash engtools and the overclock kernel, (the link is in this thread: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/121660-root-without-rom-yet.html) instead of a rom. this will give you root and overclock capability w/o wiping your data. do the nand backup 1st either way.

Better?
