I recently had a droid x on froyo running z4root with no problems. Unfortunately, one of my kids allowed the OTA upgrade to complete which brought me to 2.3.3.
After searching around, I was able to find PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.06 and execute to root the phone. I did the one click exploit and the "XP" exploit (since I had root previously and the OTA completed without uninstalling root)
I *think* it's rooted since anytime I execute Barnacle Wifi it is granted superuser permissions. However, as soon as it launches, it drops NAT and the 3g Mobile hotspot App automatically runs and I'm brought to the VZW Mobile Broadband page. Even after I shut down the Barnacle app, any data service fails because of this Mobile BB page. A simple reboot clears the problem
Is there a way to shut 3g Mobile Hotspot app down? Did I miss a step executing root? I ran a shell and was able to "su".
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Rob

This isn't an issue with your root. Verizon blocks tethering on Gingerbread roms.

Bummer. Any work arounds?
Thanks to WUG, check this page out, Droid x teather bootstrap patch info you have to download the bootstrap for the x and install a .zip while in the bootstrap, that installs a patch and the wifi teather app. Now when i launch the wifi teather app the vzw hotspot icon briefly pops up, does nothing, and i can connect to the wifiteather network w/o any problems. Just to be clear, you must be rooted to do this. FYI, the DroidX Does support infrastructure mode so for those of you that have devices that do not support Ad-Hock this is for you(example: HP Touchpad). Hope this helps! If it does, consider clicking the thanks!
Hope this helped!

So I have my brothers phone and i used the SBF leak 2.3.34 so everything worked perfectly. The only problem is now im getting a null error whenever i try to use bootstrapper. and i do believe im still rooted becuase i have superuser and 3g wireless tether w/o having to pay. Help?
If you used the sbf, you will need to re-root the phone. You erl still have the icons and applications, but they won't run because the sbf overwrites your root access.

(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.
Is there any war to tether my vibrant in infrastructure mode? I'm trying wireless tether app and it appears to only be working in adhoc mode. My nook color can't see it.
How cash I tether in infrastructure mode?
I'm running stock/rooted 2.2 and changing rom isn't an option.
Well, the Mobile AP mod thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804
But as you may or may not have noticed, it only has 2.1 options. I guess you could try asking? Alternatively, since flashing a rom isn't really an option, you could try flashing just the files contained in the 2.1 MobileAP mod but pulled from a custom 2.2 ROM since you are rooted.
Or... you could USB tether and set up your computer to bridge the android modem and your wireless card. If you're really desperate...
The 2.2 stock build has a wireless ap app but if you use it at extent t-mobile will charge $14/month for it. Wireless tether for root 3.0 beta utilizes the mobile ap app to start the soft ap for infrastructure but doesn't route traffic through the mobile ap app. I believe it also can't be detected by t-mobile if used this way. You need the stock froyo build or a custom rom with the mobile ap app in it. also you need to choose captivate as the profile in wireless tether for root. google wireless tether for root for the beta download

nacron,
That worked great.
It does say mobileap started. Are we sure that tmobilevl won't detect and bill for it?
Is there a thread that discusses using wifi tether experimental in this way?

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.
