no problem idk what you were doing but im glad i helped you out
Ok, I've rooted my phone before but had to reset the phone to all stock because I downloaded an impaled version of angry birds to get the ads off and make the game run smoother....never doin that again lol. Anyway, I tried using the one click root like I did the 1st time but its not findin my phone. I think it says something like it does not recognize adf internally or externally. I downloaded the right samsung driver, put the debugging on, and used the usb cord that came wit the phone and it still doesn't work. I already have CWM (I pushed it on the phone wit odin) and have the stock kernel. now I just need root again

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now
No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones
Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:

Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.
Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.
I know you didn't think I was finished ....lol ok here we go...since i've rooted seems that I have access to the 3G hot spot I tried connecting to my lap top it appeared to connect but did not work ....any idea?

You have to pay for the hotspot app to work unless you perform another modification such as the one that team black hat released to use it for free.

Ok so even though my lap top sees it and says it's connected they (Verizon )can still block you? And how do I get this mod from team black hat

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

You basically download a .zip and flash it in clockworkmod recovery.

You'll have to use a computer. Do you have a mac/linux? Kuz there is a forum where you can root your phone with those types of computers

Yeah bro you need a PC. Its just so easy.to use a PC and run the one click root with cwm. What version of z4root were you trying? I have the latest version on my PC that I could put on here if you want to try it?

Are you on di18 or are you on dk28? cuz if your on di18 z4root should work. If your on dk28 than yeah you need a pc with the one click root is so simple. Its just that you do 1 click and it does it thing really fast.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yeah, Z4Root worked for me on stock Eclair. It just took a couple attempts for it to finally work. The first time it just sat there forever, so I pulled the battery, booted back up, tried again then it worked.

Ok so I have been rooted for quite sometime... I'm currently on miui 1.8.26 I've had no problems... well I recently to tried to install busy box and I returned with your device is not rooted... so I tired going into root explorer and now it doesn't run at all.. so I tried es file explorer I goto mount and it say mount failed... so anything that requires root does not work.. I get the permission from super user but I'm guessing it just doesn't mount.. now I'm wondering if I update to a new rom it might not work due to it not mounting... am I wrong? By the way through terminal explore I type in su and it returns a # sign..
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App
Do you have a nandroid? Try using it and see... If it still doesn't work maybe try rolling back to an older busybox? If still no try maybe using the 2.2 RUU... Or even just do a cache/dalvik wipe... Idk, maybe someone else has better ideas

I thought about doing a nandroid to a base 2.2 rom.. gonna give that a try..

Yep I nand back to miui 1.8.26 and the problem seemed to have gone away... I just updated to 1.9.2 everything is running peachy... the seemed to have started when I was trying to install busy box from the market...

Yeah, i just leave the busy box alone, if a dev doesn't seem to care that it's not the latest version in their rom then I don't much care either.. Lol
