How do I root my phone?

[AC Question]

I have a Kyocera 3g/4g Android phone through boost Mobile service. I am trying to root my phone so I can delete the YouTube app that was already installed on my phone. It is not working at all and I just want it off my phone completely. Please comment and help

What version of Android? Different versions get rooted differently. (The best source for rooting information is the forum for that model Kyocera at XDA Forums.)
