Droid Newbie Here, trying to Root my DX on original 2.2, I am trying to root on the easier 1-2-3 Droid Root, and I even went onto youtube, and saw the video by Dark Onion on how to do this, I followed the instructions step by step, and I get this error message
Ok, here is what I get now, "Error 06, Failed To Give Proper Permissions System File" Root Failed.
Any suggestions as how to fix this?
Thanks!
You need to search for the droid 2 or rageagainstthecage. Its a adb method. I think its only way to root 2.2

Could someone explain to me or point me to a thread that explains how to get S-OFF after permarooting with the r14 visionary + build?
I just used the s-off guide in the android development section and it worked perfect.
Go on youtube and search for "visionary g2", there is a guy on their called blackprice that has a step by step video on how to perm root and s-off the phone.
Good Luck.
Thanks, but I need someone to explain to me how to use adb with a mac. Every guide out seems to be for windows

In the video, black prince actually shows how to do it on the phone itself with terminal emulator.
Awesome, thanks
So I have followed the instructions from blackprice and they seemed to work, I was able to do the S-OFF. However, when using SetCPU I get this message:
Root Access Not Detected
SetCPU could not obtain root
access. Did you allow SetCPU
through Superuser
Permissions? (the answer is yes) If you checked
Superuser Permissions and SetCPU still cannot get root,
there may be a permissions
issue with your ROM.
Please advise...
Thanks
Use visionary and attempt perm root. I had the same problem but this fixed it. Wait for someone else to confirm this though.

Also get rom manager from the market and falsh clockwork recovery.
Perm root and the reboot, and visionary should stick.
Thanks! Both of you.

If you google then you will come across some good guides to use ADB on mac
So to confirm with what you are stating, S-OFF but still not accessing root permissions. Re-apply perm root in Visionary, let it reboot, and it should stick. Correct?
Having read the linux sticky

the answer is not-obvious.
I am stuck in pre-firmware-flashing limbo

Yes. The 1 kds disc will work. There is also a 1 click method to automatically root 602. Go to droidmodderx.com Has the file and drivers needed below his video.

+1 on KDS. I did the OTA upgrade first from rooted Froyo - couldn't manage to get rooted after that so I used the KDS linux iso to SBF back to Froyo .340. I see now that there's a .602 1 click root solution - search d3 1-click root
So on my girlfreindd my touch 4g I installed and ran invisonary r14 at first I checked temp root on startup and mount system and clicked temproot now.....the su Popped up but phone restarted before I can click allow. After rebooting it was very slow and then I went back into it and click permanentroot but says to do temproot .....so I did it agian an after rebooted clicked permanentboot and restarted but my phone is not rooted....su is installed and I have Apps that say its not rooted so when I try again visionary just flashes and goes back to the apparently so now it wont even temproot to permanentroot and su is installdd and it says its not root so I can't un root so is there anyway of doing this or am I stucl
First off all : VISIONary.apk is a one click root tool but the security flags on our phones turn off the SU ability and remove root commands upon rebooting.
Second of all : you really didn't search this because every "root method" i've seen mentions using one of two different method to root our phones. Either ./gfree or root.sh. The search button works wonders
Third and final : I'm assuming since you gained SU access via VISIONary.apk you are still rocking 2.2.x. You can use the links in my signature for both methods. However i highly suggest you read the newcomers thread first.
Did you search, read before posting? If you are on gingerbread 2.3(which I'm pretty sure you are) you can't root with visionary.
If you're still on froyo 2.2, there's a lot of how to's here and on google.
EDIT:^^^^exactly what he said.

Quoted myself. Ignore.
Well currently It is 2.2.1 (Froyo) but thank you neidlinger, I will try both of those, but can you guys tell me how safe this is? When I rooted my other phones it was easy and painless (samsung GS phones) But I never rooted an HTC phone so is there anyway these guides can break the phone permanently?

Its very easy and very safe if you follow the directions to the T. It takes me 5 minutes tops to root and gain s-off with the visionary, root.sh method. I have never messed up.

HTC phones are very easy to root, you just need to follow directions and obtain S-off. once Security is off, rooting and flashing is painless.
Here is the deal. I was rooted before .621 when .621 hit I let it update me and used it for quite awhile. Now I'm getting the urge to go to a custom ROM. I followed the steps to get back to SBF .604, it's running great and my radio is AOK.
But for the life of me I can't get root back now. I've tried Pete's way on my Linux box and I get errors. I've checked my phone to see what's going on and when I adb I'm getting $ instead of #.
I've even tried z4 just to see if it would work, it can't do it either.
What is doing to be my best way of getting root back? I looked in my bin and sbin and I don't see su in there.
Here is what I'm running on DX
4.5.604.MB809.ACG-nTelos.en.US
Model Number Milestone X
Android Version 2.3.5
Any help is appreciated. I have access to Linux and Windows 7.

Nevermind, 1KDS iso with zergrush fixed it.

can you explain the steps you did to gain root. I have the exact same problem you had but I can't get root whatsoever.

You are on .604 and have attempted to root via either zergrush v3 or zergrush v4?

Hey guys, I was trying to root my phone for a school project and I was unable to do so. I took it to a local computer shop that said they could do it and they failed. They were kind enough to let me use one of their computers out front to try to root it. I was in there for four hours until I decided to just install 2.3.3 or go back to Froyo after hearing that 2.3.4 was unrootable. I tried many rooting programs and all failed. I downloaded the correct SBF file and tried to flash it. Got boot looped. So now it has several errors and it says something like MEM_ MAP BLANK and everytime I try to flash a new SBF, RSDlite says that it passes but on reboot, it is still boot looped. I would GREATLY appreciate any help. I just want to install 2.3.3 or Froyo so I can root it. Thanks in advanced :laugh:
once on 2.3.4 you can't downgrade
use ezSBF to unbrick and root
magic md5 root for d2, d2g, dx, & dx2
