Can someone please point me to the easiest root guide. I've had a look through the forum but cant seem to put my finger on it?
Android Version 2.3.4
Build number GRJ22
Unlocked bootloader (but did it a while ago and am feeling like a noob again!):rofl3:
Since your bootloader is unlocked, just install a custom recovery via fastboot. You can then use recovery to either root your current ROM, or install a custom ROM (pre-rooted).
Guides are in the Oracle:

Consulting the Oracle now tyvm
Cool - let me know if you have any questions!
What will I lose when rooting and how do I save what I don't want to lose. Is this in the custom recoveries?
(told you I was a noob!)
If you root your current ROM you won't lose anything - you just add a couple of files.
If you plan on installing a new ROM, I recommend rooting your current ROM first, then you can use Titanium to backup your data and transfer it to your new ROM...
As mentioned before I haven't done anything to my phone for a while.
Also the original laptop I used to unlock the bootloader died, do I need to go through the process again as I'm not sure I have the above files on my phone either?Download these one of the following custom recoveries and put it in the same directory as fastboot and SU and put it on the root of your SD card:
This may be a painful process at the start at least, sorry!
You will need to install the drivers and the SDK (there is a file in the oracle "connecting to a computer" section that has those)
I have all the files and when I come to flash zip from sd card I cant see su on my dir?
What is the full name of the su file you have on your SD card?
