How to Root the Verizon Droid Charge (I510) running Android 2.3.x (FP5)

Now that you have the required custom recovery, the next step is to root the Droid Charge to gain root access so you can customize your device the way your manufacturer didn’t want you to.  Rooting is fairly harmless unless you really botch up the procedure and this guide should make it much more easier to do so (not the botching, but rooting).
