AC needs your help -- Did you root your Inspire?

[ROM] CyanogenMod-7 for Inspire & Desire HD: V7.0.3 (05/06/2011) - xda-developers05-10-2011 11:43 PMLike 0 - Yes I did root my phone about 2 weeks after I got it but for me since I am 1st time android user I sent my phone out to be rooted since I am unfamiliar with all the process that goes with all the work being done.
I wanted to do that so I can get rid of the ATT bloatware that was on the phone and free wifi teathering so I went from an Inspire 4g to a Desire HD European Rom on the phone, but if you are someone that likes the HTC Sence and HTC Hub then I would suggest not to get it rooted since I got a Pure 2.3 gingerbread on my phone now it eliminates a lot of the stock apps that were on Inspire phone.05-12-2011 12:07 PMLike 0 - C'mon folks, bubby's method ain't rocket science. The hack kit instructions gave me a headache though. Seriously, and I don't mean to be an arse, if you can't follow bubby's method, you probably shouldn't be rooting anyway.UltraDroid likes this.05-14-2011 08:07 PMLike 1

It took me around an hour to make the gold card and run the script to root it. I used Bubby's version and followed the video to the letter, pausing each time I finished one of the steps and I gotta say that it was a BEAR to get through. The Motorola Atrix, on the other hand was the easiest thing in the world to root - almost as easy as the original Droid (D1) all those months ago.
All I can say is that rooting the Inspire 4G is not easy, but it *is* doable, if you follow the instructions to the letter. Once you're rooted, there is a multitude of custom roms available for it, over on the xda developers forum - Inspire 4G Android Development - Page 2 - xda-developers
HTH,

Is there a dummies version of this? (grinz)
And, if I were to root, where are the cons of doin so?
Can anyone give me examples of what I can do with my phone once rooted, that I can't with it not being rooted. Please be specific. I'm trying to see if the pro's would outweigh the cons!
