As the topic says...anyone have any word on a easier or one-click rooting process for the G2? I know we are still early in the rooting...but just wanted to know if anyone has heard anything

The visionary app in the development section will the closest you'll be able to get. It won't fix the s-on issue. I'd recommend you try the rage method found as sticky in the development section. all you really got do to is copy/past all but about 4 codes which are plain as a day on the first post.
Hey guys just got the atrix and it's on
What's the easiest way you found to root it?
Sorry it won't let me post in development for some reason

it depends what firmware ur on
Gladroot. the link is in my signature below.. make sure you follow the instructions carefully depending on your situation.
Right now, it appears Gingerbreak roots everything, but you need an SD card. See the Atrix Dev forum.
Ok thanks guys will try ginger break

And you should not post in development as your question is not development related.
try typing root in the search box, or any question, you usually get some good answers
I've got a brand new Atrix running 1.26. So far in this thread they recommended Gladroot and someone else Gingerbreak. Is there a benefit to using one over the other? I am admittedly an Android noob and been reading a lot trying to understand flashing SBF, ADB, CWM, etc. Knowing there is a beta update soon to be tested, I would like to use a method that is most likely to work with a new update should it follow on the heals of the beta.
If you have an SD card around, update now, then run Gingerbreak.
If not, follow the process in the Gladroot thread to getting root on 1.57. Assuming you care about the update... there's really no reason not to have it.
In the future, please search before posting a new thread. This has been discussed hundreds of times on this forum, and with a bit of legwork you could have easily gotten all of this info for yourself. Although I will admit the root situation is a bit more confusing now that a new exploit has been found.
Gladroot will give you the option to enable sideloading Gingerbreak does not.
thats just my 2 cents

Hello XDA
I recently updated my phone through Verizon to
Android Version 2.3.3
System Verion 4.5.596
Before I was interested in rooting. I have been researching and tried everything I could find to root this version
but nothing has worked. (gingerbreak, z4root, easyroot, ect.) I did a factory reset/system wipe.
(still 2.3.3 - 4.5.596 on reset)
Am I doing something wrong? Should this version be rooting with GingerBreak or another root program?
(They all are stuck on loading screens never finish or reboot)
or (from what I have read) do I need to rollback to an earlier version to be able to load the 'prerooted'
gingerbread OS?
I am fairly new to this, and am sorry for my ignorance. If it is out there somewhere a link would safice
but as of now I haven't been able to find anything dealing directly with my situation. Thank you for any
and all help.

There's no rooting method through stock 2.3.3 yet
you're gonna have to SBF back to stock .340 and flash p3droid's OTA rooted gingerbread ROM
Ok, I was hoping there was a simplier way but expected that for the most part from what I had read. Thank you.
Rooting my Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 (4.5.596) Droid X
I don't want to sound redundant to skate 72w but I have searched the forums up and down.. Is there any other one-click way to root my stock GB 4.5.596 droid x? I found this article
I do not see where it talks about the 4.5.596...
If not, can someone please direct me in the right way to get froyo back so I can have my wireless tether back!
Thanks,
-Nick
There is a rooting method or p3droid would not have been able to root. Wish he would share.

p3 tends to 'find' things that other folks don't have. He has a rooted .596 but it's achieved through flashing. He has not announced a way to root the OTA, and I think he would do so if he had one.
Everyone questions p3droids methods.
If you want to root: do some searching here.

Is the sticky still there?
I would consider myself to be a noob when it comes to rooting, all i want it for is the wireless tethering. I have done an sbf once but dont feel very good about doing it again, and am just looking for another one click method to rooting like z4root. I am running on gingerbread 4.5.596 from verizon.
OTA Root
I love my Droid X - hate the VZ CRAPWARE.
I now have the 4.5.596 (2.3.3) OTA update.
The only update method to obtain root is to SBF to Froyo - Root - and install the TBH/P3 Droid pre-rooted update.
At this point, I have too many apps installed and too many settings to reconfigure to take the route.
My main goal is to obtain root (such as a Z4 root style one click) so that I can maintain all my apps and configurations. Once I root, then I can freeze all the VZ Crap (every Google Maps update requires me to choose between GM and VZ Navigator the first time 1 click an address, and having to choose the contacts database EVERY TIME to Google is a PITA - Backup Assistant should be something I can DISABLE).
Sorry for the rant - to the point - does anyone know if ongoing efforts are being made to create a one-click Root for the Droid X? (Or a multi step that preserves data / apps / and settings)

guess what sucks about rooting leaks is that it gives the vendors the holes to repair.. if we didnt root the latest.. the ota probably would probably be rootable.
i just got the update over the air just last week and im new to this can some one help me with the steps to rooting my phone, unlockin. thanks
Probably should have read up on that BEFORE you accepted the update.

Look here for information on downgrading and rooting this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
Read through everything and understand that you will be downgrading back to 2.2 in order to gain permanent root and unlocked. From there you can install one of the already rooted Gingerbread ROMs based on this update that has been posted in the dev area. There is not a permanent root method for Gingerbread on the DZ/G2 at this time.
OK, I allowed an OTA update to kitkat without thinking. Titanium backup and Superuser now report they don't have root access. I re-ran the root process and received a success notification.
I'm new to the rooting game and am sure the fix (if there is one) is simple. I did a search on the web and through various forums and have not found anything specific for my device (which is no surprise since the update i so recent).
I would appreciate any input...or disregard if your feel it was not worthy of a response
Thanks either way!
You'll have to downgrade to 4.2.2 using the back to stock guide found in the general section. Not hard and had to do it myself.
