(Droid X 2 weeks old) I’m trying the temporary root option.
It reads I’m rooted until my next reboot, but I’m trying to use the wifi tether and it reads “Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running the application.”
Busybox says "Not Rooted"
What must I do?
From what I understand, the temporary root keeps you rooted only unless you
reboot. So each time you reboot the phone, you have to temporary root in z4
over again. Otherwise, just do the permanent root.
you should use z4root 1.1.0 not 1.3.0 and permanent root. Worked for me.

You also need to install the super user app from the market.
The features its talking about is Access-Control, which has never really worked to begin with. The app will still do what its supposed to just you can't use that one feature.
Prob just didn't get the pop-up to allow su privileges. Usu. just exit & restart the app & allow when it shows...

& z4root 1.3.0 works & installs su when it roots - u might want to get a more updated busybox from mkt tho.
As a sidenote, when I first used it I had to temp root first, then perm root after. Other times it just took a min or two to achieve perm root.

Very Easily.... Just Install Z4Root, It Has Two Options, Run The Second Option For Permanent Root Access,
**NOTE**
Sometimes It's Fast, And Sometimes It Takes A While, Also
If Your First Attempt Fails, Pull Battery Out, And Retry The Permanent Root Option!! It Definitely Works, I Just Used It Myself On "12/23/10" To Root My Friends Cdma Hero!!
Good-Luck!!

What would you reccomend using to root a Droid Incredible?
Ok so I had rooted my D2 a few days ago and had been looking into backup/recovery apps. Now however it seems as if my phone is no longer rooted. Is this possible? I thought I had read another thread where someone else was having this problem but was unable to find it. I tried to open up my superuser app and titanium backup app, but both ended in a failure and asked if my phone was rooted. Thanks in advance for anyone's help with this!
Also, just noticed that my superuser app isn't working correctly. The widget changed from being labeled "superuser" to "superuser permissions". I had assumed that this was after my phone had updated some other applications, however the superuser app won't turn on, it just gives me a black screen. When I tried to update through the market it said "Package file was not signed correctly". I'm unable to find the app on my phone so I can delete and try to download it again fresh. Thanks again for any advice anyone has!

Yeah. Phones can unroot themselves. This usually happens when the phone updates itself. Don't stress though... just root your phone again.
So, then with the superuser permissions app that I found on my phone...if I were to re-root my D2 with a different method of rooting vs the first way, would I be able to uninstall that superuser permissions app if I wanted? Thanks for such a quick response!

What was your first method. I would just use z4root. Also, did you install a custom rom? If so maybe reflash the rom after you are rooted again.

I had used the 1-2-3 step for rooting as my husband had suggested that. I have z4root installed now but haven't done anything yet. My husband had suggested I get some back-up apps for my phones system and also one for my apps in case I kill my phone. Will the droid 2 bootstrap back-up/restore my original phone system in case I do mess it up?

I saw a post by Android wizard extraordinaire, CellZealot, over at MyDroidForums, who claims :
"... it supports root and is an excellent build. It also supports using the band unlock and GSM performance is far superior to the previous radio firmware. Overall this build is incredibly stable and without question the best build yet for this phone."
That's good enough for me.
Has anyone received this OTA yet? Nothing yet for my two in NY (one rooted, one not).

Does this update require that I unroot my phone prior to it?
Could any person who has received the update upload it somewhere, please? I cannot wait to update my phone and root it again. I have tried to update it but it keeps telling me I have the latest software version.
Scanned the net and no one has posted the update...hopefully someone here will soon
nottin in new jersey checked on moto droid pro system update whats up with this enyone got this update runnin thankssss
There was a renewal. Loading ...
:-(
Was rooted. Installed OTA update without problems. Then applications like Titanium Backup can not longer get root privileges. Ran Z4Root to Permanent Root again, it crashes and leaves phone unstable, most of the time freezing a few seconds later and I have to remove battery :-(

Blarg, don't like the sound of that. I'm nit sure that my wife uses any root apps but there is just something wrong with an android phone that does not have root.
I used SuperOneClick 1.7 to get root again after apply this update.

I second that!! Bloody takes them ages this time ... wonder why the holdup with some devices?? Its not like theres a million of Droid Pros out there ...
OK, so I can also root with SuperOneClick 1.7 after the update, but the apps like Titanium still can't get root from the SuperUser app. adb shell su also gets Permission denied (after reboot). Any hints?
Edit: problems solved by using aRoot. My conclusion: run aRoot post-update, not z4root nor SuperOneClick.
I lost root after the update and tried Z4Root with no results. SuperOneClick worked after I tried both root methods and rebooted the phone.
I am using AntTek App Manager to remove bloat without any issue. The phone seems more responsive and I have not had any random reboot until now.
Yep - aroot after the update worked. Re-froze the junk via Titanium and my Pro is running well.
For those like me who didn't know how to use aRoot:
Quoted from designgears
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981866
http://ponack.net/designgears/atrix/aRoot/
"How to use:
note: xp users, you will get an error about the TIMEOUT function, ignore it.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone (settings > applications > development > enable USB debugging)
Plug your phone into your computer
Extract aRoot.7z
Run aRoot.bat (run unRoot.bat to unroot)"
Im trying to root my D2. Followed the guide on TheUnlockr. Got to one of the final steps (the one where it tells you to download ConnectBot and type cd /data/local/tmp, enter, ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin).
That works for me. Then it says something like "forked xxxx children". Then I type exit, and it freezes til it force closes. I can't reopen the app after. I have to uninstall/reinstall and usually pull the battery.
I've tried different terminal emulators as well; they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else rooted using this method? am I doing something wrong? Btw, I have a Droid 2 Global (if it matters) running 2.3

Try this one instead:

That, or search for Z4Root, it will root a Froyo Droid 2 or D2G, but if you already ran the OTA GB update it will not, you'd need the method above.
Thanks, I'll check it out in a little bit. I did use the Z4 method prior to the recent OTA update. It said it worked, but I couldn't flash a custom rom. Also, when I used a Root Checker from the Market, it said I wasn't rooted either. This is all before I updated.

Edit: That one-click method didn't work either. It went through, rebooted my phone three times, and said it should be rooted. I used that Root Check app, and it said I didn't have root access. Also went to use Barnacle Wi-Fi Tethering, and that said I didn't have root either, even though I have SU on my phone.

I would SBF back to Froyo and run the OTA again, that will guarantee the root is removed. Then use the link I provided and you should have SU. Running Z4 might have corrupted some files since it's not compatible with OTA GB.

So I got this Motorola Xoom Wifi and it came with it the Supersuer and ROM Manager already installed. I suspected that I have root (for some reason) so I installed Busybox and Titanium Backup but both tell me that I don't have root access.
How can I further investigate the real nature of my device, if it is rooted or not and if it is not, how come I have the Superuser installed?
I'd be extremely delighted if the device is rooted but needs some small fix, that way I won't have to re-install everything I already installed.
Any help?
Thank you in advance.
You can install root checker from the market. Most likely the previous owner had it rooted and the unrooted it before selling it. They were just to lazy to go in and manually edit files to delete the SU app.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Superuser and rom manager are not "strictly" connected with a rooted device. They can be installed from the market as any other app, they will simply not work. Anyway, try root checker as said before and it will tell you if it is rooted
Are you sure your Google Account didn't just restore your apps? That's usually what happens...
