Trouble rooting new Droid X - Droid X General

Just yesterday I purchased a Droid X and I am unable to root it. I have downloaded and installed the Motorola 5.0.0 USB drivers, and I have USB debugging enabled on my phone, but when I put it in PC mode, all that I see in the notification bar is the USB icon and then right next to the signal strength I see a "refresh" or "sync" icon (two arrows going in a circular motion.) The only time I see the USB debugging icon is when the phone is in USB Mass Storage.

doesnt have to be in pcmode. it usually works best in charge mode. but...
why not just use z4root. it's simple. install it and run it and you're done. get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953

Recovery problems. ALL SORTED

ITS DONE AND DUSTED , I USED THE LINUX LIVE CD AND IT HAS WORKED.
Im tring to root my wildfire with unrevoked3 but it just says "pushing recovery image" and has been like that for 10mins, how long should it take?
Also before trying this I tried to install clockwork recovery with Rom manger only for it to reboot into recovery and quickly install maybe 25% then show a phone with a big red question mark then it reboots.
Also if I try to boot into recovery manualy I get a phone with a red triangle and a ! in it.
How can I fix the recovery?
in rom manager it says current recovery: clockwork mod 2.5.0.1
latest recovery: clockwork mod 2.5.0.1
Really need help , I want to jailbreak my ps3 , will donate if a DEV helps me.

[Q] Stuck at AT&T Logo

Hey all,
My Atrix is rooted and has been running fine until as of late. While trying to reboot the device, it gets pass the Moto logo but hangs on the very lovely AT&T "Rethink Possible" logo. I don't think my situation is considered a 'soft brick' but I still tried norcal einstein's soft brick recovery in attempt to remedy my cause. Unfortunately, SuperOneClick can't even access the ADB shell for the soft brick recovery to work.
Does this sound like a SuperOneClick issue or an ADB Shell issue?
Anyone have any clues? Thanks in advance.
Anyone? After further troubleshooting, I have discovered that while plugged via usb to PC, I cannot access internal or external SD. Yikes.
have you try taking out the battery on the back and reset it that way?

Yes. After about 15 attempts, I finally got pass the ATT logo screen. However, once I reboot, it's deja vu.

Did you by chance freeze your launcher screen? Is this one of the deodexed rom's (like we have many)? Did you install a piece of software prior to this happening?

Only Stock rom. I did install ADW Launcher but that should be okay right? I'm about to just do a factory reset.
I am also more concern about getting SuperOneClick working. It just freezes on 'waiting for device'. I cannot access ADB to make any changes. I have the right drivers because the Motorola Portal pops when I plug the device via USB.
Thanks guys!

Definatly restore and see if that works
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Okay, I just did a restore. It boots up fine. However, I stil cannot get SuperOneClick to recognize my device. I'm getting the infamous "waiting for device". I have Debuggin enabled and dismounted internal and external SDcard. Even when I don't have the device plugged in, SuperOneClick still freezes. I've tried 1.6.3 and 1.7.0 versions.
I'm running Win7 32Bit Enterprise and even tried on my XP Pro machine and still the same result. Yikes.
Thanks guys.

Try another usb cable. Might be a bad cable, or could even be a port.

Thanks! I just tried that. I have 3 different cables and different usb ports. Could the problem be pointed back at SuperOneClick?? Even without the cable, it just 'waiting for device'. Not even an error message feedback.
I don't think so. It possible, but at this point I would just warranty it and try a new one.

Unroot if you used superoneclick. Atrix already has busybox and superoneclick installs it again. DG recommends adopt to root your Atrix

it should work.
check if USB debbuging is enabled and that you have that latest drivers installed, if not
try using mattlgroff utility 1.20 - it gives you the options to root and unlock the bootloader if you wish to.

Rule 1 : Read everything, then read it all again then understand what your reading then flash
As for the "bricked" phone, people need to learn what a brick is however this guide is almost guaranteed to fix the issue for you, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

The Phone will not come on period. Only when I plug it in to the usb on the computer does screen light come on but that's it. Nothing else. You just know it's on because there is a change in the back light from really dark to just somewhat dark.

I installed Rom Toolbox pro just paid for it too. Made a back up using twrp deleted my old back up tried one final time to install the new cyanongenmod nightly that didn't work so I rebooted the back I had just made and my died. I should also mention that I had just gotten my IMEI unlocked if that makes a difference.
