Well I have a friend that rooted his Droid X, then locked it up. I did some searching and found a right up of how to unbrick your X. Took 5 min to do that, then I got it back to stock with the zip file I needed to use. Later that weekend he wanted to root, I tried the one click root method, (not as easy as eris) I didn't have any luck so I had to use sdk. I must say it is much easier than the eris, or I am just more experienced than I was before. You do have a few more options to flash roms and themes. I would say the X is easy to root, and unbrick. Well he didn't exactly brick it, he rooted the phone, but didn't follow the steps and tried to flash a rom in the wrong recovery. (X has 2 different ones) One you can flash roms on (bootstrap recovery) and one called recovery. Bootstrap recovery is like amons, it has a selection that says flash zip from sdcard, and recovery says update zip from sdcard. Big difference. It was stuck in a boot loop. Easy fix.

I believe that most HTC phones can be rooted very easily with unrevoked; it can also root an Eris, for that matter. I'm just curious why you are encouraging people to root; are they having problems with their phones? Frustrated with how they work? I can see encouraging an Eris user to root, since the stock software is so prone to slowdowns and bugs, but I'm not sure that I would root another phone that was working fine, just because I can.

 

I used unrevoked to root my Incredible. I would never encourage the average person to root their phone. The only reason I rooted the Dinc was to remove bloatware really. Completely different from when I had the Eris. I needed to overclock that...get live wallpapers...enable a2sd...remove bloatware...all sorts of things.
