Rooting

Alrighty, folks. Here's my request. I keep seeing links to other tuts and such for rooting this guy, but i enjoy consolidation. Can we get a clear, concise thread that posts detailed step by step instructions on rooting methods and tools? I would really appreciate it.

Are you sure asroot2 is in this directory?

C:\android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools

This may sound basic but did you unzip asroot2? when I downloaded it... it was zipped up.

cd C:\AndroidSDK1\tools
adb push asroot2 /data/local/
adb shell
chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > su

Anybody know, if you root your phone (and don't have a custom ROM on it) can you still apply any official upgrade that Sprint/HTC offers up??
