Rooting LM using app?

[Guest ThibautD]

Hello everyone,

This weekend I might buy me a new LM and plan to root it so I can use link2sd.

I have been reading and surfing the web to find an easy way of doing this and have found this topic:

http://android.modaco.com/topic/342583-recovery-cwm-recovery-for-liquidmt-v30/

This would probably be the easiest way of rooting my phone?

When surfing the web I have also found some youtube movies that show the rooting by using an app. You just download the app and it does everyting for you.

Being a total newbie at the rooting process and the smartphones I would like to know what would be the safest and easiest way.

I know this is already written in several topics but I can't really make out what all the terms mean "flashing" and stuff.

Thanks in advance!

Actually k0zmic's guide is well done in plain language

http://android.modaco.com/topic/346043-how-to-install-a-custom-rom-partition-your-sd-root/

It even has a section on how to do exactly what you want to do. "How to Root Non-Rooted ROM's"

Hmm, I missed that one. Thought it was only about installing a custom rom.

ANyway I have a question about point 3:

"3.) Now turn off the phone and boot into recovery mode Volume Up + Focus + Power (For ClockworkMod).

Down + Focus (Press Camera button Gently) + Power for AmonRA. "

Does this mean I have to install Clockworkmod or AmonRa before rooting?

Or will it work on a stock Acer LM aswell?

One of these recovery have to be installed ;)

Just to be 100% sure, CWM = ClockWorkMod? :unsure:

I'm sorry for these stupid questions, but I don't want to break my phone ...
