I'm dying to get FlyX or Tranquility on by DX. But since I just barely got my phone, I already have the 2.2 OTA. Does anyone know if the FlyX or Tranquiliy will work on the 2.2 OTA? I have the 2.2 system sbf that p3droid put out, so I should be able to flash back to 2.2 OTA, right?
I would like some confirmation that I won't totally brick my phone if I give it a try. This being my first android phone and all, I would hate to brick it days after I got it.
Short answer, yes. See this post for longer answer, then follow the wiki for each step.

Thanks. I'm already rooted, have Koush's bootstrap. I was just a bit nervous making the big jump. I'll reply back here to let everyone know how it went.
Yes please do, I'm in the same situation as you.
I just installed Droid X Bootstrapper and made a back up, I'm planning on deodexing it tomorrow and possibly install one of those roms.
Let me know how it goes for you!
I have fly x on top of official 2.2 928droids deodexerrr was a big help. No issues here. Good luck

FlyX over OTA 2.2 worked just fine. Unfortunately it's not much different than what I had before (bloatware removed). Hopefully birdman has an ace up his sleeve and we'll get true custom ROMs.
I doubt it though. (sad face)
PS I hate emoticons.

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 ;-)
http://www.tuttoandroid.net/guide/guida-root-per-il-motorola-cliq-3192/
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

Not yet. We have root but the bootloader is locked down. We are waiting for a custom recovery from birdman but that will only allow use to flash custom system files but not a custom kernel. So one day soon it may be possible for a cm6 hybrid without the cyanogen kernel. Im not to sure about that though.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Basically, it could happen someday, but don't count on it. That goes for all custom roms (specifically with custom kernels).
It should be possible, just might take them a bit of work to get everything working on the stock kernel. First thing we'll see will probably be vanilla versions of the stock ROM, without Motoblur (yay) and with a few other tweaks. Judging by Koush's Twitter I'd guess we'll see a Clockworkmod release today or tomorrow, and we'll probably see some vanilla roms within a few hours of that release. CM6 will take a bit longer but I would be surprised to not see at least a partial build within a few weeks.
.......but then again I could be entirely off. =P
Pulling mine as we speak!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have also got mine. I am hoping to have root soon. Im not quite sure if there is an easy root for this version. I would look in the other posts, but there are too many custom gb roms out there and leaks im not sure which one would not brick me.
edit. I was wondering with the new folder system if i can somehow hide all the vzw apps so i dont see them anymore. I know someone mentioned it can be done, i just cant find it
Installing mine right now. tgrantjr, I hear ya on the leaked versions. What bothers me is it seems every version released was pre rooted, took the control of root and unroot away from us. When I sbf'd back to froyo, it was a simple one click to unroot and install the ota gb release.
Was on a rooted GB leak and of course couldn't pull jack... SBF'ed to 2.3.34, wipe + reset, OTA kicked in. Boring legitimacy here I come!
So for the last few days I have decided to root my phone but it is so confusing for me.
Droid x specs: 2.3 gingerbread... 596
baseband ends in 12p
my friend told me to use clockwork reset or reformat... something like that and then use clock work root.
ive been googling and using this website forever and i need help.
I would appreciate it if somebody could walk me through this. Thank you
Download Droid x bootstrapper or Droid 2 bootstrapper,,and u can root with z4 root or gingerbreak,,make a backup download a rom,download and install busybox and tittanium back up make a back up of all your apps and data with tittanium,,but also make a back up of your original rom,,,to get started rite now go to the android market and download (root and me Free) it will explain alot and help u out a bunch down load it now root and me free

thx bro do i get boot strapper from online? and for titaniium back up and stuff how do i do the rom back ups sorry for being stupid im just new to this
Thanks
Also, on the app store bootstrap says " YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APPLICATION. FOR DROID X ONLY."
and u said use this then root... im confused.
If you dive into this before your really ready, it's likely that you'll end up with a brick and not know how to back out. The only solution is to search and read until you are comfortable with the entire process. Google tutorials on how to root gingerbread stock. It involves SBFing back to froyo, rooting with z4root, installing bootstrap, and flashing, but that is only the broadest of summaries. You really should understand the whole process BEFORE jumping in. That said, it's not really all that hard with a little research. Good luck!
i got my dx about a week ago. i am rooted running cm7 nightlies now. i came from the inc and ran new roms every week on that and kernels and new recoveries all the time. it took a day or so to understand how the dx works...
this is what i found
my dx came with 2.3 on it. i tried z4root and gingerbreak and neither worked. after reading alot i found sbf looked like the best route. I sbf'd back to 2.2 (Froyo) I then ran z4root and bang I had root. rebooted and i used dxgbrooted stock image. i downloaded both dx bootstrapper and d2 bootstrapper. d2 is for gb based roms, dx is for 2.2 based. i had a bunch of trouble with the bootstrappers and it was annoying. i continued to run the dxgbrooted rom and i hated it, it so freaking slow and crappy. i then flashed a nightly of cm7 and i bootlooped, so i had to sbf and root the thing again and reinstall cm7 nightly, i havent been happier since. these stock based roms and cool UI features motoblur and sense, they suck IMO and i like vanilla or cm7.
I am thinking about getting a Droid X this afternoon. With the OTA update is it rootable and if so with what? Thank!

Not the OTA. You will need to sbf back to froyo and then upgrade to the pre rooted GB

Nope! Like I said its unrootable
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Unrootable...
But that doesn't mean you can't root.
SBF to froyo.
Flash the 2-part gingerbread .zips.
Flash a custom rom (Liberty?)
Or stay on the froyo kernel...
and try MIUI or Cyanogen.
Be careful and read as much as you possibly can before starting. Myself and at least one other on here with the latest iteration of the X have ended up with boot looping or totally non-responsive devices.
I have started a thread with my findings. I am by no means an expert but I do have much experience with rooting devices going all the way back to the PPC6700.
Good luck.
getting stuck in a bootloop is part of the exploration process IMHO.
At least once per new ROM I'll flash something 'just to see what happens' and end up SBF'ing back. Just make backups between steps if you aren't sure about what will happen next.
it would be nice if one of the devs or people who work on rooting or someone in the know would at least comment if we are going to get a real root with the OTA
i mean im running froyo with CM7 but i sure would like the new firmwares for all the radios flashed and then be running CM7
so if someone could give us some kind of update at least saying no one is even remotely working on trying to gain root on 4.5.596 Official OTA or that yea we are working on it but it is a ***** and taken longer then we expected
that lil bit of info goes a long ways
thanks
I am not aware of any dev working on this ATM.
I don't think rooting 596 ota is critical 2nd unit has opened up alot of new doors and the attention has shifted. However I have flashed all of drew gardens latest and ran cm4dx until nightly 47. Now I'm daily MIUI and loving it, despite locked bootloader the cdma_shadow still has alot of options.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
to my understanding .596 has better battery life and signals are better for wifi and cellular (at least more stable and less drops)
i do not know if this is true but i have read/heard alot of ppl saying the battery life is better on .596
after all there is a .596 for some reason and its not a lil bump from 2.2.340 its pretty big
anyhow someone really needs to figure this out as the baseband has changed....i mean there is the pre-rooted rom .596 that works great so we know it can be done.
whats the big deal...let us have it

the big deal is that there isn't a readily found exploit for the ota, the pre-rooted was done with a diff. method (brute force? recompiled?) but the versions are the same regardless
no ones holding back a secret root method, there just isn't a dev interested in spending huge amounts of time to recreate what already exists
i think it would be interesting to create a batch script that sbf's a phone and installs the pre-rooted .596 but all hidden behind a random animation so the user doesn't see what's happening. if i call it a 'one click' root method lots of people who don't seem to want to take the readily available pre-rooted gb for whatever reason would likely be happy. yeah i understand that if it includes a sbf then data may get lost, but if i said in the instructions of my 'app' that it would happen and they should have backups, people would still likely use it
sorry, but i just don't understand why so many people who want root are seemingly against using the pre-rooted option, as most of them don't have the knowledge to find an exploit or a root method from scratch themselves, so they are still using the work of someone else...
<Disclaimer>I'm going out on a limb here with limited knowledge of the X. <End disclaimer>
From what I read and I don't remember where, the rooting of an X involves a 2nd init method by which it takes control of the initial init. I believe I read the original init isn't able to be exploited and this is the basis of some of the more complicated methods of rooting the X.
If someone knows more about this please correct me or chime in.
I had an Incredible prior. The rooting was more comprehensive and simple. I believe that is because the bootstrap and recovery were not as difficult to get into. That being said, personally, I may be going back to another HTC device if the folks light years smarter than me aren't interested in developing a root method like the other devices out there.
