They should have waited for froyo to be released! Now when they do release it, they will have patched this way! So it will take forever to get foyo rooted

This won't matter. A patch will be developed.

Any time you get an OTA update, you have to re-root. Just do the same root process you did before to get root and you'll be fine again.

Just throwing this out there, give it another go? That sounds like a cruel thing to say to someone who Im sure has been trying but maybe just maybe....... I am hoping it works for you becuase I rooted without taking the update first and now I am stuck with that dang warning notification and would like the newest firmware anyways. Good luck.

that bootloader thing is about a ***** huh?

EDIT!
I just accepted the update after restoring the files I deleted from system/app and of course lost my root, but it took all of 2 minutes to redo the root process and now all is well in root world. Taz, you should be able to reroot with no problem.

thanx guys ,, went to bed after try 15 times lol woke up this morning .. and it worked , got root again
well i got root but cant use adb commands
Get permission denied. Is this normal for the droid?
I have the eris also. And can use adb commands.sorry if this is stupid

Should be able to use adb commands. Battery pull, then try again? Not sure, assuming you rooted from your computer, adb should be set up correctly, but now you can't use adb? But if you didn't use that computer to root then just need to follow the steps to set it up

Does unrooting the phone actually let you run the update because currently I am not able to run the update successfully and I am rooted. (I had removed some stock apks but have since replaced them all accept for the need for speed apk)
Also to unroot your self just delete superuser.apk?

One Click Root

That didn't take long.

Very cool thanks for the heads up.

Anyone tried this? Just curious im already rooted just maily would like it to unroot.
sent from LG Dare lol

It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.

worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

Really Works? The Rooted Apps too?
Does this really work and do the rooted apps function? Why does this work and the bootloader has not been cracked? Cunfused....

And now there's this too.

I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take

If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA
sorry for being such a noob thanks for your help

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later

universal androot
Im using universal androot and have my phone rooted, which i believe is the same thing as 1click root will i still get the ota in September with root on, I hope i have not posted in a inappropriate place I just was curious.

Bro, were did you get this universal androot?

I tried universal androot v1.6.1 and it was a no go, seemed soon after installing toolkit it kicked me out. I did the update.zip so i'm up to 2.2 now. Gonna try the droidx root in the first post see if that does it.

theres no way to root a 2.2 device yet, u have to root in 2.1 first then move su around and then move it again once upgraded to 2.2

this is incorrect. you can root your 2.2 Droid X with this method: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/26/droid2-rooting-method-works-for-droidx-running-froyo/
worked like a charm on first go for me.

My speaker on the back of my droidx is blown i need to take it to verizon. How do i get rid of superuser permissions app in app drawer? I rooted with universal androot. I was told you have to remove it first then unroot. So i looked for it in app manager to delete it but its not there. I tried unrooting it still not there. Rooted it back still not there. Thanks for ur help.

Traded the DINC in for the DX and rooted in 2 minutes!!!!!! Kinda miss the DINC, well I miss HTC Sence

does this one click root work for the 2.2? and is there a chance that the fone will not root correctly and not work?

Z4 root possible?

Has anyone tried to root using the z4 root app? Will it work?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Yea, I used a method listed here @ XDA to get S-Off and rooted when I had the Nov. Update before unrevoke's revisions. It used zroot to enable the process.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

My friend (idiot couldnt wait for me to do it correctly) rooted his Droid X using Z4. Shortly after he discovered his Droid X wouldn't boot. Soft bricked Droid. Said friend orders another Droid X (warrenty) and still couldn't wait (till AFTER SCHOOL A MATTER OF HOURS!) to root and Z4'ed again. Another soft brick. He's on his 3rd Droid X, unrooted. I've refused to do so for him.

z4root by itself will not permanently root an incredible, it will give you temporary root till the next time you reboot. this information is available in the z4root thread. you might want to try posting this in the droid x forum if you want to know about z4root and a droid x .

Its the Inc that I'm concerned with, my wife's phone to be exact. I have the fascinate & I've rooted, de-binged & de- bloated and want to root her phone for wifi tethering. I used a 1-click root app on my Eris that worked well & was just wondering if something similar would work on this one.

The best way to get root on the Inc is to use Unrevoked 3.22. There is no one-click method like the Eris to gain permanent root. You will need to get adb (android-sdk) setup on your pc as well as get the correct usb drivers setup for this to work. The instructions are on Unrevoked's website.
While z4root is technically a one-click method it will only give you a temporary root that is lost every time the phone reboots and you have to re-root it. It can be useful if all you want to do is remove some of the crapware and thats it. I did use it to do just that with Titanium Backup Pro but had to re-root my phone about 16 times, re-install busy box each time and it became rather tedious and took a couple hours. Also I wouldn't recommend using it if your going to install a custom ROM or want to do other modding to the phone.
Edit: z4root does not put a custom recovery on the phone and you wouldn't be able to use it anyways if you did as root would be lost as soon as you tried to reboot into recovery. So you couldn't even install a custom ROM with it if you wanted to.

Revoked works. Instructions here. http://jonsuh.com/2010/11/root-your-droid-incredible-how-to/ if using windows, have fun downloading ext2 drivers, if using Linux/MAC, its very easy

I have an SCLD and it worked for me. But I do believe it actually failed the first time I tried it but after a reboot it worked. I think on the z4root thread it mentions rebooting first before using it.

Okay thanks for the info. My wife's is a slcd I believe so I think I'm going to try it.

Rooting for 2.3.3

TBH is in the process of right now releasing a leaked Moto build of Gingerbread 2.3.3. As of right now, they have been unable to root it, as all known root methods appear to no longer work. Anyone want to tackle it?

obviously not gonna be easy....if TBH can't do it.. I doubt anyone can

Don't think anything is impossible. They just got the release yesterday. It sometimes takes a collaboration of several devs to get root.

If my download ever finishes I gonna try like hello and throw everything I have at it. Lol.

i have an idea about getting root but im not sure if it will work or not but pretty much instead of rebooting after installing 2.3.3 you install the su.zip file found somewhere on xda and you should have root but im not 100% sure

That will soft-brick the phone and you'll have to SBF from RSDLite. You can't install any other zips directly after installing a ROM or it won't pass the signature verification on reboot.

Locked bootloader and root access are two different things.

well the nexus s/one use a method which requires the bootloader to be unlocked in order to obtain root so technically speaking they are the same in this case
so far though i have been reading about a gingerbreak exploit from the same guy who released rageinthecage exploit
maybe if we contacted him he might release gingerbreak so we can have root access

that sucks

Search the market for "Superuser" and there is an app that has comments stating it worked for GB on N1.
I downloaded it and ran it and it seemed to have done the first part of what it needed to do fine... but now the next step is flash this .zip update that is on the memory card through recovery...... I don't want to be the genea pig as I need my phone atm...

looks promising, says in his quote he didnt want to release till more 2.3 devices were out ( so they couldnt fix his exploit ) but hopefully he will release it soon ish

GingerBreak

anyone had a chance to look at this and try it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

I've heard it works but I have no need to try it

It appears that a few Droid X owners have successfully used this exploit, according to some of the responses in the link you provided. I'll be interested to see if this will work on the final Ginberbread OTA (keeping fingers crossed)!

I just tried it and it works. No problems arose.

That's definitely good news if the OTA comes out and it's got important tweaks that .588 doesn't have.

If wireless tether works for you then go ahead and use it, Verizon can only track the tbh hack. Some people have not been able tto get it to work

As long as you don't use it there will not be any problems

Just SBF'd to .340 and used the official update to .588, GingerBreak worked fine except I'm having issues getting Titanium Backup to recognize it has root. I get the prompt to allow it, but the app still says it doesn't have it. Other root apps, like adfree and autokiller memory work just fine. Hmf.

Scratch that. Just went back into TB, updated busybox and it's right as rain. Two thumbs up!

Works great for my DX, however, I need to un-root it and I've tried several ways from other forums and I am not having any luck.
Does anyone know the procedure to un-root for GingerBreak?
Edit: I don't have Gingerbread installed either, I'm just running 2.2.1 - I don't know if this makes a difference when trying to un-root this. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. I've been scouring trying to find a solution and I've had no luck yet. I've tried rooting then unrooting when the one-click program and that isn't helping me either. Any suggestions??

I don't know if this can be answered but it doesn't hurt to ask. How come the ota cannot be rooted but the P3droid version of GB can be rooted? If its the same thing then what is the difference on why it cant be rooted?

Just going to guess here (this is speculation not fact) but I would assume that p3 being as skilled as he is was able to reopen the exploits used to root that motor/verizon closed in the ota.

yea, what chbennet said sounds about right.
it just has to be rooted before it's put onto the phone. once on the phone, it cant be done.
