One click root for droidx users

has anyone coded a app to do this with one click?
you can push all the files / turn off/on the bluetooth all via API. and such.
I was wondering if this was done. thinking of doing it.

Thanks, didn't know it was that easy now lol
And btw, if anyone runs into problems, make sure to start this with the bluetooth turned on, and don't run it as an administrator. I couldn't get it going on win 7 64 bit when doing run as an administrator.

Can I do the one click root using .604? And is it worth it? I would like to have a2.2 bass when it comes out. But looking forward to flashing roms and kernels when available.

I would also like to know this. I just updated today while my phone was rooted and now ... no more root. But before i do the one click root again I wanna know thats its safe to do it on .604

What would make it unsafe?

It should work just fine, The update does not patch the root method.
I manually rooted my phone with the .604 update

DroidMod team has released a new version of DMUpdater that will root the X on the phone itself! I have used itand works as advertised. Now running WIFI tether on the X!

Sorry, Steve Jobs doesn't allow that sort of activity. Shouldn't you be off with your iPhone 4 with the wi-fi's and the 3g's?
(Just kidding)

windows only + computer required. lame.

I just watched a video on youtube of how to root the Droid X and I see nothing that can't be done on Mac or Linux with basic knowledge of the either operating system. Maybe if you need a one-click root for your phone, you shouldn't be rooting your phone. Wouldn't want to bite off more than you can chew.

Also, while I can't verify this myself as I don't have a Droid X, this guy (nicastro78) seems to do fine rooting the device with just the phone itself.

Is it possible for a NAND ROM to act as a PS3 jailbreaking device?

It would be really cool, like think about it. Gingerbread+PSjailbreaking. Perfect harmony no?

Perfect harmony would be you posting in the right section.

This is true. it's all done with firmware updates now.

Did I miss something? My PS3 is one of the original 60gb models with "Install Other OS" feature still intact. Are you guys saying I don't need to JB the system in order to gain full functionality?

search for kmeaw custom firmware...
Even in the original psfandroid thread here on xda there is info about the new firmware

No the only reason you needed to JB was to run "unsigned code", Now the PS3 master root key has been discovered you dont need to run unsigned code anymore as it can be signed.
You can also now install a custom firmware without any need for JB as you can just update your firmware to a custom signed one which has had signing restrictions removed so will boot all homebrew etc.

and you should use perm root

If you're on 2.2/2.3.15 still, you might want to update to 2.2.1/2.3.340 before rooting. Go to settings/about phone and check Android system version and system version.

how to root droid x
honestly i would just use perm root on z4. all of the phones ive ever rooted and the droid x was the easiest?wow i was quite surprised. I almost hope that the general public dont figure this out cause ill start losing money!!

how to root a droid x 2.2
I have tried many rooting methods and I found Z4root 1.3.apk to be the fastest and easiest way to root. If and when you use this app it starts looping and doesn't finish you simply perform a battery pull and retry the permanent root using z4root 1.3 again and it will work the second time. You may need to try a third time but in rare cases.

sorry for the super late reply. Yeah I mean like a Rom.

would you still be able to get the OTA updates from verizon if you root???

Do you know if there will be an updated z4 that will be available for when Gingerbread officially comes out? I used z4 and absolutely love it!

am rooting again using z4 - how long should this run, i have the phone attached to my PC via USB so i won;t die from power ... thanks.

Make sure USB debugging is enabled before starting the root process. Are you using gingerbread or froyo?

Why do people ask that? Once you root, you can have ANY version of stock rom. Or run less stock roms. It's all win.No, you shouldn't recieve OTA updates once you've flashed. But root users will have whatevers pushed OTA long beforehand. Plus you can over/underclock, screen capture, do backups, and run RealHDMI with root.

X-play custom rom

Hi I'm new to the custom rom's and instead of searching through countless topics, mixing up instructions. I was wondering if I could get some directions.
Play is unrooted 2.3.3. I would like instructions on how to put a custom rom on the phone, and which custom rom would be recommended. Thanks in advance people.
Sent from my R800a using xda premium

is your phone fastboot enabled? (does the notification light in the power button turn blue if you hold the search button and then connect the usb to computer?)

If you want a custom rom but dont want to search and read these forums, i give your phone a week before you brick it.

or we could help people within the comunity to understand what's out there, the risks involved and how to get around the problems that could arise? we all need things explaining to us once in a while.

Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.

lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out

Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.
1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.
2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.
3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.
As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.

my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.

Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?
Again I'm currently running 2.3.3 nonrooted. Had it rooted on 2. 3. 2. but ofcourse lost it with update.

Bump, has anyone been able to get Cyanogen mod onto the Rogers r800a? This locked boot loader is really causing me grief. Have the phone rooted, cwr is installed as well as busy Box. Getting closer, but still no cigar.

You can flash CM7, but i doubt it will boot with stock kernel.

You won't brick it, if kernel is incompatible device with either not boot, or bootloop, flahing stock rom with flashtool will fix it though.

Root Keeper app

There is an app in the market called Voodoo RootKeeper. It's suppose to backup your super user permission. Meaning you can unroot with a click and then re-root with a click. Which would work great with OTA downloads without losing root. Has anyone tried this with their Xoom?

Reading it more closely, it looks like it wouldn't help much if you have a custom Rom or kernel, just if you're rooted stock. Then you could use it to take an OTA update and then reroot. That would be cool.

It also would be a viable tool to use for apps that won't except root. Such as movies in the Market. You could switch to unroot download movies then switch back to root when you're done.

I'll try it tomorrow before I flash the new Eos nightly. Actually, there's a chance it might not work with ICS I guess. I'll try it anyway.

Doesn't seem to work on ICS. Installs OK but doesn't show device as rooted. Also there's no unroot option so can't test properly. Similar feedback on the Market for Galaxy Nexus owners.
Ah well, I tried!

Thanks for sticking your neck out! Too bad it didn't work.
