Newbie Help Needed

[Guest marian_14_jul]

Hello All,

I was just browsing through the "Absolute Beginners" section and was looking for some pinups to explain all the real basic stuff.

For example

Differecne between recovery image, roms, root, nandroid backups etc.

I have a Dell Streak and a HTC Hero. I have managed to install the leaked 2.1 update on my Dell Streak and last night was trying to root it using the fastboot and manged to brick it. Got some help from the forum and have it now working again but am a bit hesitant now before I dive into the world of Custom Roms.

I really nees some kind of idiot's guide to explain all the terminology before I start messing around again,

any help appreciated,

Thanks,
