we have now had a few users out there who have rooted their Cliq, and apparently there are a few ways of going about the process. the link below will take you to theDudes post, and im sure you will find other individuals with other methods if you search through the thread.
good luck to all who wish to root, and happy holidays to all!
_________________________________________________________________
As i do not have a moto cliq in my possession i would not be able to tell you if this is true or not. but to any users out there that DO have access to a Cliq, and are willing to test this. (just in case someone out there hadnt seen it)
Motorola CLIQ Rooted for Full Android Access http://bit.ly/4Y9uLs
(dont hate me, i caught this on a livesearch of android, the info was RT'd by
{@TaimurAsad} if you would like to RT it yourself, please do.)
i would like to hear if this works out. seeing as how the last moto cliq forum was closed.
For italian people I've translated the guide ;-)
http://www.tuttoandroid.net/guide/guida-root-per-il-motorola-cliq-3192/
Its true. I have a Cliq and I rooted it last night. There are two methods to root. One is by Demoshadow and one is by TheDudesAndroid. Both seem to be based on the same idea. They came out about the same time. TheDudesAndroid is actually a little easier to do and the files can be downloaded faster. You posted TheDudes version here. Here is Demoshadows verison just to be fair. Demoshadow's Root
Wonderful news for CLIQ users, I hope milestone will get rooted soon
Yah, its true, and apparently it will work with the Dext as well. Its STILL very raw though. And could possibly brick your phone. May be best to wait a a few days for it to be cleaned up and tested more. Still some risk with it. No flashable update.zip as of yet. Also, they are working on porting Cyanogen's Rom to the cliq and a Nexus One rom. And someone got the NexusOne boot screen running on it.
awesome, so its official. now we just wait for the genius' in the android community to "fancify" it, as they always do. props to all who tried this, and thanks for giving us a 100% positive answer.
does this also mean someone can port motoblur to the g1/mytouch easier?

This root proccess is different from what we are used to. I actualy rooted mine last night. Spent some time following the M3 forum for awhile and it was no easy task. If we were all "genius'" here why weren't we able to do it? I'm not trying to bash but we need to work together on this and not make anyone feel inferior.

The root process is quite different - and I think that there is a lot to learn from the original thread http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525915&page=35 starting ~page 35.
The method to flash a custom image was put together by Skrilax_CZ and was the crucial breakthrough for the device. TheDude got 'su' working.

You talking about me? I got it to show for....2 seconds,then bootlooped.
Well,once their is some roms ported/made for the CLIQ ,I think,with the right people,may pass the G1 in terms of roms/hacks.
Got root on my cliq
I followed The Dudes version and had no issues at all getting root. It only took me about 20 mins. I can't wait to see where this goes next. Love the cliq been waiting for root!!
So far everything works for me the same as before no FCs no apps not installing or running.

Where is Cyan or Haykuro? Time to create some ROMs. I need 2.0 pls!
to my knowledge the ROM provided after rooting, is the same ROM. with SU enabled. am i correct in saying this?

Woot. I posted all necessary files and tutorial up on my site. Enjoy! Now all we need is APPS2SD and some speed mods and we'll be all set. This is the official TMO Rom so everything is the same, except you have root.

cant open rsd lite for some reason
I am running 32-bit windows xp and i downloaded rsd lite v4.5.7 .msi but when i try to run it on my pc it just opens a title bar that says "rsd lite" nothing else shows up. No option to install at all. A little help would be appreciated. Im kinda a noob at this. I work for tmobile and im so tired of the original os on my cliq, too many bugs. Thanks for the help.
kinda got an issue here, i rooted the cliq and everything worked fine following the dude's method, but the deal is that i did user metamorph ad basically screwed the phone, not sure if the theme fails or something, i'm currently unable to flash the phone with rdslite, i was trying to update or flash via update.zip or reseting to factory from the default recovery.img but no look :S..... and ye i know, no nandroid backup installed that's my bad

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
I just exchanged a defective captivate for the ariaand looking at some of the threads confused. Do I root now or wait for froyo??? when I have froyo will rooting give me acces to the portable wifi hot spot feature???
If you're planning on rooting at some point, then you might as well get on with it. You can have Froyo now with either CyanogenMod 6.1 or Liberated FR008. Both have the wireless hotspot feature included.
If you wait for the AT&T Froyo update, you will probably be waiting awhile, and at least for now, you are not able to gain root once you've applied the official update.

If and when HTC/AT&T release Froyo for the Aria, chances are the wifi hot spot will be disabled.
My advice would be to root now and then install either CyanogenMod 6.1 with is AOSP Froyo 2.2 or Libertated FR008 ROM (HTC Sense w/ Froyo 2.2) from the European Gratia. Both of these custom ROM have the Froyo Wifi hot spot enabled and working.
Ihave a few questions...how do i find htc sync and install it?? after getting modified froyo on does that stop att upgrade? and all modified upgrades roms manual intal?

You can download HTC Sync from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
Nobody really knows if the Liberated ROM will get a notification about the AT&T upgrade because it has not happened yet.
Yes all of the custom ROMS are manual install.
keep in mind that when ATT releases the FroYo update it will probably be unable to ROOT at first. they love to add new securities to make life interesting for us hackers
if you do get an Aria check out my Aria Superthread Guide for info about how to mod your new phone
I do own an aria
thanks for the files!! doing root now

It should tell you when it is finished.
One word of advice, unrevoked didn't work for me under windows. I think the Ubuntu LiveCD method is pretty trustworthy though.
I've used UnrEVOked to root 3 different Arias with no problems... so if you don't want to go with the Ubuntu method, go ahead and try Unrevoked.
if unrevoked were working, would I see a series of messages?? I just started it , should the mesage pushing recovery stay on for sometime? how long should it take? Im running win 7 pro 64 bit
It took me about five minutes using the ubuntu method. If it pauses at waiting to reboot, it's safe to take it out, and start it over again I believe.

So froyo is leaked and installed and all is fun (seems to run a bit slower than 2.1 to me, especially during start up) but I have the problem of A TON of bloatware.
Anybody played around yet? I've frozen a few of them but unsure of what all is good and bad.
How about root? The newest version Z4Root does not work, it stalls and you have to force close it.

They have released the non-beta on the motorola site. the only issue is. that it won't install on a rooted phone so you have to undo your root first

Hi!
Well, I made some post with the info that good people make available and that I collect to try to make it easy,in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211799
I already made the update since 2 days ago and very happy, in my case I found very usefull that at leats by now some usefull 2.2 tricks are very welcome like move some apps to sdcard and few other, but as new detail in my case the 2.2 update is detecting one of my 2 batteries as non original moto, and refuse to charge it, but in 2.1 it works perfect and could be charged...
So, for me is stable and hope that could be better the final release (if it may really happen, since Moto put down the page about the release.... :-/ so could be lucky that at least we have this beta, for possible future roms)
Best regards!
Froyo runs faster and it has a great file explorer built in. The only thing that sucks is that there is even more bloatware from AT&T
I have the phone unlocked and in Canada so my unlock stayed and unknown sources is still available after the upgrade
hope there are some edits soon they get rid of all the bloatware, there are legitimately 12 bloatware apps from AT&T on the phone now.
The interface is a little bit sleeker and the boot up of the phone is now silent, which i love since the old boot up was a bit to loud.
xaser, your guide is what I followed to do mine and I really apprecite your time to put it up. Worked great.
Somebody said the full update is up on moto, anybody got a link? I couldn't find anything.
No I have not tried an older version.
Anybody had any luck with a root on the beta? Or the full version either one?
Are we sure this "beta" isn't the full version? The Android Version in About Phone just says 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.2b like i'd expect with a beta.

Use caution... I flashed back to 2.1 once by simply following the guide in the development forum again. But tried to do it again this morning and my phone bricked. So I had 50% success which is too little for me to suggest it.

I didn't need to reflash, I used RSD to downgrade. Since I had my phone rooted. then I just ran the official upgrade and it's been running like butter for me, real smooth.
I've searched all over for info on rooting froyo on the Flipside and it looks like it's going to take awhile because they locked the phone down tight and the few guys that have rooted the phone have started experiencing problems with the phone because of the root.
