when it says change to the tmp folder on my phone, is that something I do, or when I do the codes in blue that happens automatically?

Follow the instructions and you'll get the results. Let us know if you run in any problems while running the code. Step 1 is changing to the /tmp folder/directory.

Sorry, Abe, didn't see your posts right before mine. Must have been typing it while yours were posting.

Still clueless...
Okay so after typing in everything as seen, nothing happened. How do you know you have root? Do I have to start over? I'll try once more but if it doesn't work I may cease and desist so I don't completely jack up my phone. Any tips as to what I may be doing wrong?

Did you get any error messages or did nothing happen. If its the latter you can type su into the terminal emulator and press enter if a # shows up you're rooted.

Have to eliminate the basic stuff first -- did you type insert or just cp /sdcard/yadda yadda?
