Well I just received a Hero and I am lost again. SO I have some basic questions.
What I do know / My questions
1) What does rooting accomplish?
2) If I have a higher software version then what the explanations say what do I do?
3) What does nandroid do and why?
4) Wiping and why?
5) What is the difference between custom kernals and roms? How do they compare?

1) root will provide administor permissions
2) after root you can move to different os versions up or down.
3) nandroid is a full backup also allows custom backups.
4) wyping clears all user data programs etc and restores back to original.
5) some custom ROMs are built to use certain kernels and also built with certain carriers in mind. Others are generic and basic.
Some are built for speed programs ease of use looks etc. It's all up to the user.
