I have tried several other websites from research on Google, but none worked for me. If you could please explain how to root my phone in a step-by-step fashion, I would highly appreciate it.

Hello Cristián, rooting is always a complicated process because it essentially bypasses security measures that your carrier has in place to prevent you from altering the phone. Although, some manufacturers specifically allow you to root, for the most part, most companies don't really want you to. Many, in fact, will invalidate your warranty if you perform a rooting procedure, so caution is warranted.Each update (
here's the official update log
) is often designed to prevent users from rooting their device. Therefore, if a root process worked for one update, it will probably not work on a later version. Again, this is to prevent root access to your device.The most recent update is not FC17, which is what everyone linked to. The latest firmware version is FE18.
Here's the root process for it on XDA
. However, you should be very, very careful: the directions are somewhat ambiguous and unless you are certain what you're doing, there's substantial risk of breaking your device.

I tried booting the tar.md5 file but it says that there is just a checksum error. After that, Odin crashes. What am I doing wrong?
2012-12-05 21:35:08
Did you run Odin as admin? Right click on the executable and "run as admin".
2012-12-13 00:09:02
Odin was running as admin, yes.

Checksum errors usually indicate that the file in question did not match the checksum - meaning that it's possibly a corrupted download or the wrong tar file was downloaded.There's a huge number of reasons for a checksum error, actually. However, if you check the XDA site for rooting FE16, you'll see a significant number of people with the exact same issue. You'll want to read these closely for how they solved their particular issue. One guy actually downloaded the "wrong" file and successfully managed to root his phone. I suspect that he actually didn't have FE16 and misread the firmware readout.Are you 100% certain you have FE16? You can check this in settings -> about.
