Again... only for people that haven't rooted

(If this a a dup thread sorry moderators take it down, the main froyo thread is all about for rooted Froyo)

Does the bootloader need to be unlocked for this method?

I'm have just the basic N1, never tried anything with it, so I dont know the lingo and don't want to give you wrong info. It worked for me fine though even though I haven't done anything to my phone

Someone posted on that link that it's only working for Tmobile phones.
Mine's for ATT, so I guess I won't try it.

MOTO CLIQ has been rooted! (confirmed) read more>>

we have now had a few users out there who have rooted their Cliq, and apparently there are a few ways of going about the process. the link below will take you to theDudes post, and im sure you will find other individuals with other methods if you search through the thread.
good luck to all who wish to root, and happy holidays to all!
_________________________________________________________________
As i do not have a moto cliq in my possession i would not be able to tell you if this is true or not. but to any users out there that DO have access to a Cliq, and are willing to test this. (just in case someone out there hadnt seen it)
Motorola CLIQ Rooted for Full Android Access http://bit.ly/4Y9uLs
(dont hate me, i caught this on a livesearch of android, the info was RT'd by
{@TaimurAsad} if you would like to RT it yourself, please do.)
i would like to hear if this works out. seeing as how the last moto cliq forum was closed.
For italian people I've translated the guide ;-)

Its true. I have a Cliq and I rooted it last night. There are two methods to root. One is by Demoshadow and one is by TheDudesAndroid. Both seem to be based on the same idea. They came out about the same time. TheDudesAndroid is actually a little easier to do and the files can be downloaded faster. You posted TheDudes version here. Here is Demoshadows verison just to be fair. Demoshadow's Root
Wonderful news for CLIQ users, I hope milestone will get rooted soon
Yah, its true, and apparently it will work with the Dext as well. Its STILL very raw though. And could possibly brick your phone. May be best to wait a a few days for it to be cleaned up and tested more. Still some risk with it. No flashable update.zip as of yet. Also, they are working on porting Cyanogen's Rom to the cliq and a Nexus One rom. And someone got the NexusOne boot screen running on it.
awesome, so its official. now we just wait for the genius' in the android community to "fancify" it, as they always do. props to all who tried this, and thanks for giving us a 100% positive answer.
does this also mean someone can port motoblur to the g1/mytouch easier?

This root proccess is different from what we are used to. I actualy rooted mine last night. Spent some time following the M3 forum for awhile and it was no easy task. If we were all "genius'" here why weren't we able to do it? I'm not trying to bash but we need to work together on this and not make anyone feel inferior.

The root process is quite different - and I think that there is a lot to learn from the original thread http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525915&page=35 starting ~page 35.
The method to flash a custom image was put together by Skrilax_CZ and was the crucial breakthrough for the device. TheDude got 'su' working.

You talking about me? I got it to show for....2 seconds,then bootlooped.
Well,once their is some roms ported/made for the CLIQ ,I think,with the right people,may pass the G1 in terms of roms/hacks.
Got root on my cliq
I followed The Dudes version and had no issues at all getting root. It only took me about 20 mins. I can't wait to see where this goes next. Love the cliq been waiting for root!!
So far everything works for me the same as before no FCs no apps not installing or running.

hey after you root the cliq does it still have motoblur?
Where is Cyan or Haykuro? Time to create some ROMs. I need 2.0 pls!
to my knowledge the ROM provided after rooting, is the same ROM. with SU enabled. am i correct in saying this?

Woot. I posted all necessary files and tutorial up on my site. Enjoy! Now all we need is APPS2SD and some speed mods and we'll be all set. This is the official TMO Rom so everything is the same, except you have root.

cant open rsd lite for some reason
I am running 32-bit windows xp and i downloaded rsd lite v4.5.7 .msi but when i try to run it on my pc it just opens a title bar that says "rsd lite" nothing else shows up. No option to install at all. A little help would be appreciated. Im kinda a noob at this. I work for tmobile and im so tired of the original os on my cliq, too many bugs. Thanks for the help.
kinda got an issue here, i rooted the cliq and everything worked fine following the dude's method, but the deal is that i did user metamorph ad basically screwed the phone, not sure if the theme fails or something, i'm currently unable to flash the phone with rdslite, i was trying to update or flash via update.zip or reseting to factory from the default recovery.img but no look :S..... and ye i know, no nandroid backup installed that's my bad
update firmware, OS to froyo for moto cliq
Hi good afternoon, i would like to know something about the upgrade of the moto cliq whit 1.5 to 1.6 or froyo 2.2, please somebody. Help me with that. Thanks in advance.

I have seen two different answers. Please, somebody, give me a correct one!

So earlier today I posted asking if i was able to get OTA updates even though i have bionix fusion 1.0. I was told by two users the answer is no or i would brick my vibrant. Then i looked at the sticky and saw that the OP says I can but only if the ROM doesnt block OTA's. I am not sure if mine does and all i need is to know whether i need to revert back to stock in order to get OTA's or if i can get them while rooted. I dont care if I loose my root by updating, btw. I can re-root very easily.
thanks to anyone who can give me a 100% correct answer!!!!
I replied right now to your original post. i hope it answers your question ;P

You will be lucky if you don't get flamed for such a question.. I will tell you there is a one click root you can use on your computer. I will also let you know you can search for it on these forums and with google.. And lastly, YOU NEED to research a little before you can just do these things to your phone..you can FUBAR it. Flashing 2.2 is a pretty wild goal for having a question like this.. Read the sticky in this forum called beginners.. And check the included links..when your a little more familiar with things and have some better questions I will be more than glad to help.. Good luck

I have to agree with neh4pres above. There are sticky threads and a thread clearly saying walkthrough for EB01 in the development section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
This will provide you with everything you need. Remember to READ carefully, read again, and then read again. Too many people dont read the instructions and end up with problems on their phone.

4.1.52 to more current version

I am trying to get my phone to update with no luck. I spent about an hour on the phone with Motorola trying to see if they could just push updates to my phone and apparently this is not an option. They say it shows my phone is up to date.
I currently am on 2.2.1 system version 4.1.52 which is not supported on their website to do any kind of updates. I am using a Mac and Motorola has mac compatible stuff on their website. Can anyone please direct me to something as simple as what is on Motorolas website? I would like to get 2.3.
when I go into my phone and check for updates, it says I am already up to date. Has anyone else had this issue? I have searched on here and 2-3 other forums and cannot find a solution to my problem. Motorola said I could send them my phone and they could update it, but I am trying to avoid having to do that.
PS: I am not familiar with this stuff so if you could dumb down your responses I would greatly appreciate it
thats because 4.1.52 isnt an OFFICIAL ota man..
you have to downgrade your device to 1.26 ota to > 1.57 ota to > 1.83 ota to> 4.5.91 Gingerbread.
well that makes sense. It would have been nice if Motorola could have told me that.
Is there an easy way to get 1.26 on my phone with a macbook?
Not that I know of. I could be wrong. But using RSD on a windows PC is super easy to downgrade your device.
I dug around for you, and may be able to help...The previous poster is right, you can't be on 4.1.52 in order to receive updates. You need to flash an official OTA first. On mac, use this guide...I don't have a mac, never used this guide, can't guarantee it...but just read the thread a little bit to know all you need to know
You can go here to select the SBF of your choosing I suppose... or, in the Development Section, maybe read about the Pudding thread, and see if you want to unlock your bootloader or not.
Lemme know if you have any more specific questions...Like I said, I haven't been in your situation and don't know every detail, but I could help you get in the right direction.

cool thank you! I read through that stuff and dont feel comfortable doing it. I gave my atrix to a co-worker. He is going to flash it to 4.1.26 and then hopefully update to gingerbread after that.
I appreciate the help guys

Haha no worries. Are you sure this is a trustworthy co worker?
But yeah, I understand not feeling comfortable...if you read through it all and make sure you know what COULD go wrong, it's all easier than you think. Just for future reference

Easiest way to root?

I'm brand new to the Glacier, although I've rooted many other phones.
I looked at the guides I could find here, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to S-off + CWM than a bunch of ADB to downgrade to 2.2.1 etc... seems overly complicated atm, isn't there a way to root on GB stock ROM or an easier way in general?
I really have searched, but there is too much info and I feel like some of it may be old, like there's an easier way to root now?
Just wanna flash some custom ROMs basically.
exploit
downgrade
root/unlock hboot/install recov
i duno, it doesnt get much easier than that. its honestly very simple it just takes some time to do.
if you have the stock mytouch 4g you dont need to downgrade as far as i know..
just follow the steps, i just rooted a second one of these with stock 2.3.. took a bit longer but it worked out, the guides here are amazing
ok well I was basically wondering if there was an updated way to do it, but I guess I'll just do the downgrade and go from there.
Thx for the heads up.

Hate to be the bearer of bad new, but as of currently the only way to root the 2.3.x update is to downgrade to 2.2.x then root.
There are two different eMMC chips that you could have in your device. You might want to look at my Noob Thread. I know with a post count of over 3k your not a noob but it has all the links that you'll be interested in.

one of mine has the bad chip... well see how long it lasts..
once i root and flash, does it still affect the chip or is it only when flashing?
(sorry for thread hijack )
