Hi everybody- I've seen a few threads with respect to unrooting a Droid 2 on windows/linux, but not one to do so by Mac. I haven't yet rooted my Droid 2, and wanted to wait until I knew there was a way to unroot. Thanks!
Use the DORoot program but use the ./doroot.sh command but with -unroot.
So...
./doroot.sh -unroot

I tried using easyroot on my new Droid 2 and couldn't get it to work. App says it rooted successfully and need to reboot. After a reboot, it tries to root all over. Also, I noticed it says "prepping to root moto droid x". I'm assuming this mistake is related. Perhaps easyroot doesn't support droid 2?
Anyone have an easy way for a noob to root? Clear instructions on doing it manually would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thread moved in Droid 2 General.
currently there is no gui way to root the D2
I thought the current way was easy. Its all just copy and paste.....
There is a one click solution right in these forums under android development for droid 2..
I am too new of a user or I would supply link.. real easy to find though
called Easy 1-2-3 Root, first post in that forum at time of this posting
Trying to find the sbf file and the a one click root for a droid cliq on tmobile. Having touble finding the files. Seem like I need to get rsdlite 4.6 but cant find the sbf files for a droid cliq. Also heard of a couple of root programs but not sure they will work on his phone. I believe it is a droid cliq running 2.1 update 1. Not sure, just trying to help him root it. But I don't want to brick his phone.
Thanks
I don't know any specifics about the Cliq; however, Pete's website says that his Pete's Motorola Root Tools works on the Cliq.
A thread for Pete's Motorola Root Tools can be found here in the Droid X General forum.

Hello all,
So I rooted my buddies droid X and sideloaded wi-fi tether app to get his tether going but it turns on the verizon hotspot and tries to get us to subscribe. I am quickly finding out that it's not quite what I'm used to when rooting a phone. I've rooted my old hero, my gf's evo and my evo 3d all well and good. clockwork recoveries, custom roms and kernels, tethers etc. I'm a midlevel root user but on HTC phones and on sprint. Here I'm feeling like a noob (I did check the noob guide for answers but am not finding what I'm looking for same with search function).
Now that I'm rooted on this phone how do I install a recovery so I can install a custom rom? Is there a link to a tutorial? Will a custom rom have tether working the free way? I figure once I install a rooted or custom rom the tether should work the way I'm used to an not try to take me to verizon and I also am reading that there is a new OTA pushing and dont want to lose root. I've been looking on this forum for a solution and am not quite finding my answer and it seems to be because things are listed a bit different than they are on the EVO forums on XDA. I thank anyone ahead of time and am sorry for the questions.
Disregard. Finally figured out that I need the Droid 2 bootstrap rather than the droid x to get into recovery and it's all gravy now.
Check my sig if you need more help.
You can use Droid X bootstrap as long as you have USB debugging turned off.
Hi I'm new to the Droid X community, and I saw somewhere that .621 was not rootable but then I saw somewhere else someone found a loophole?
I don't know how updated/accurate those statements are, therefore I am asking a question to you guys.
How do I root this phone? Is there the Superoneclick? Or is there a long root process or what?
I have a droid x 4.5.621.MB810.Verizon.en.US.
Thank you so much for helping.

I found this site, but I'm not sure if it's reliable because it is a year old....
two options
root with magic md5
magic md5 root for d2, d2g, dx, & dx2
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Oj1a1wNZKhZMPUqU_6KzzYzQJ2RKzvvumTx-41f3h4/edit
or use ezSBF milestone 604
and root with zergrush

i used this root method today as a last resort (i dont like using methods that take different software to work) and i lost my 3g. im fairly seasoned at root but this is the first time ive come across this problem. im on baseband BP_C_01.09.15P and ive reset my phone, called the *228 and battery pulled a few times and still no results. can anyone help?
well don't remember anyone losing 3g before, and no reason magic md5 root would cause
this
I would try flashing 621 SBF
(i dont like using methods that take different software to work

not sure which root methods, you would have used that, doesn't use software
if you don't like it, flash milestone 604 with sbf_flash, and root with zergrush
just don't flash 604 with rsd lite, it will change the radio
Is there video on how to do this method, I have a Droid x and i want it rooted, but Im no good on written instructions, I do better with video.
I have same version...did u get it rooted?

Yes it can be rooted. Just rooted one last week. Make sure your battery is FULLY charged before you run bootloader. Otherwise, you risk soft bricking.
I recommend using a virtual machine OR win XP to flash. ^sd_shadow's guides help a lot.
If you run into trouble; please reply.
