but they removed the root, can i do the 3g root again or do i need to follow a new procedure
If you choose to root you can only use one method and do not downgrade it will mess you up. Do not try to use any other kernel either. This is the only way to root. If you have an issue after root just ask. Don't need anyone else messing up their 4g upgrade. We have all been trying to get motor to put up the new bootloader for the upgraded xoom. This is how I rooted mine and my wife's.

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

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.

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?
Has anyone tried to root using the z4 root app? Will it work?

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.

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.

Easiest way to root a mytouch 4g with 2.3.4 I just did the over the air update.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
There is no easy way if you did the OTA update. There's no currently known way to root the mt4g if you went up to 2.3.4.
You'll have to downgrade back to Froyo if you want to get root, and then you can upgrade to a different rom with gingerbread, but it won't be the stock rom.
I'm not sure if you can downgrade if you didn't have root before either, but I think there might be. I'll post the link up in a bit if I can find it.

Yeah, it's not easy, but if you didn't have root access before you upgraded this is about all you can do.

Hope we can get some ppl on this mine was rooted before update after store update s is off still but visionary loads black screen

Donate to the root devs?
So WHO does work on these things, such as finding a way to root 2.3.4? I suppose if a bunch of Glacier owners pitch in a few bones, it might result in us getting a root solution sooner. That is, for those who don't want to downgrade. I'd rather keep the stock ROM. If I wanted to donate, where to go?
pd
There is a rooted version of the stock ROM. You just have to downgrade to get rooted.
I purchased my DROID x around january 2011. First thing I did was install z4 root (not sure which version) and superuser. Also installed wireless tether from the market. Everything worked fine until the update was available. I went to my settings and updated without unrooting or changing anything. As soon as it was done updating I was no longer rooted. When I open z4 is says temp root, perm root and unroot. When I try to use tether it asks if my phone is rooted. When I try to hit perm or temp root z4 closes and I have to turn phone off and back on to even get it to open. I really want my tether back and I have no clue what to do.if I need to return phone completely stock please give instructions on that as well. Thanks
Z4root will not root the phone after the update to Gingerbread is taken; also, wireless tethering does not work on Gingerbread.
If you just want root, I recommend searching for 'PetesMotorolaPhoneTools', and using that to root your phone.
If you want to be able to tether then I recommend SBFing back to 2.3.34 and flashing either MIUI or a version of CM7 that uses the froyo kernel.

Tethering using apps such as Wireless Tether is blocked on Gingerbread; however, there is a patch for the 3G Mobile Hotspot, I believe that when you use it Verizon can track you though.

it might work with rooting it...but that's not your case.
besides just rooting, you also need S-Off, and currently the downgrade method is the only method we got.
