◉ First time Rooting : Please check my work...

Hello :

I am going to be flashing my droid phone for the first time (nOOb), and I want to make sure I will doing it correctly.

I have gathered what I believe to be the correct information, and have listed it below.

I am hoping someone can look at the steps to make sure everything is correct and in order.

If I am missing something, or if something does not look right, could you please correct, ammend, or add as necessary.

This would be a tremendous help to me, and I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
