I recently upgraded to Droid 2 R2D2 from Eris.I had my Eris rooted,Amon-RA recovery with KaosFroyo.
The question I have is, I use Linux desktop,and no apps support USB tethering on Linux in the market. After rooting I installed wired tether but get an error saying the kernel doesn't support it.If I bootstrap from what I understand you can't flash a new kernel on the MotoD2. Does anyone know of a way to get wired tether to work ??? I had it working on my Eris.

You can't flash a new kernel period on the D2 because of the locked bootloader.

The only thing that doesn't work is a security that only allows certain users on the network. Wireless tether itself works.

Thought I had it working with rooted Gingerbread rom but it'a no go.
Ok peeps. Here is the deal. I switched over from an evo to Verizon Droid x waiting on the galaxy s2. So kind of new, kind of not.
Here is my issue. I sbf'ed to froyo so I can gain root. Then back to a 596(?) Gingerbread and it worked great. Now... it took an ota and installed it. Not sure how, but it did. I kept the root (su permissions) but now it will not boot into clockwork recovery. I've used the ROM manager and dx boot logger program (sorry can't remember the exact name) and all it does is reboot, get the Motorola logo then blank screen. It sits for a while then I get impatient and pull the battery.
Any help would please be helpful.

Are you sure you're still rooted?
Have you had an app ask for superuser permissions?
If you have a terminal emulator, open it and type su to see if you get the #.
If you don't, you are no longer rooted.
Yes, I have had apps ask for permission. Like titanium, wireless tether, etc.

So, I have 2.3 via the store and am considering going back to 2.2 so I can root and use a different ROM. The problem and my reason for posting is I cannot get sdk to install properly. I run it and it tries to update everything but fails and won't allow me to connect to my phone. Now do I need temproot before this will work or am I not installing it correctly? I have read a bunch of tutorials but haven't seen this issue come up. All help is appreciated.

have you tried installing just the ADB drivers? TrueBlue_drew has a great walk though. Link in my signature.
Can't see it from my phone but I will check it out when I get home. Thanks for the help and I'll keep you posted...

Windows requires administration privileges to download and install things on the SDK. Try right-clicking on the icon and selecting Run as Administrator.
OK, couldn't get it rolled back (lady was retarded on the phone) so what do I do now? I ran as admin and it looked for updates and such but found no virtual drives. Will anyone be willing to walk me through this over the phone?
OK! Got adb working now. How do I roll back? LOL I will be searching but in the meantime if you wanna add something, I would appreciate it.

You have to manually remove Superuser.apk from /system/app/ before you can root again.

Droid 2 is what you want I don't know why I just know it works.
Fixing the DX is easy. Read up on sbf if you run into issues.

when you say 'latest gingerbread' do you mean 2.3.5?
i have a rooted x on 2.2.2, and i want to apply the 2.3.5 update, but i am scared that it will break my root, if i understand correctly i can apply the update then adb shell to remove su and superuser then re-root using pete's? is that correct?
i rooted originally with superoneclick 1.9.1

Odd, I haven't come across an unrootable build for the Droid X.
Also, are you sure 2.3.5 is correct the latest version of Gingerbread for a stock Droid X is 2.3.3.
