My moms phone got updated awhile back to the OTA GB 2.3, and so I wanna root it for here and do some stuff to make it run better for here, but I have no idea how to root it. I know how to root the D2G if its running Froyo, but I haven't used the D2G in forever. I only had one for a few months before switching to a droid x, and now I am rocking the LG Revolution. Which all those were easy to root, but I just cant seem to figure out how to root the D2G now that it has GB 2.3 on it.

haven't seen anyone post that they have tried this method
it's written for the Droid X2, but might work for D2G
manually root with Android Debug Bridge

I'm completely new to a Droid X. I don't have Verizon, I just use WiFi, so no OTA.
I'm currently on Version.1.13.516.MB810.Verizon.en.US
How would I go about manually upgrading to Froyo? I understand rooting and whatnot. Where can I get a zip?

How do I install an SBF with RSD Lite? Does it require root? Any tutorials you can recommend? Bricked my G1 before when looking for tutorials myself lmao.
If you don't want to use RSD, you may want to try this route:

This puts you on the leaked Froyo files (The last 2.3.15 leak is the same as the OTA Froyo update, just a slightly different boot loader and radio)
Many of us stayed on the Leaked version (I did) because the 2.2 SBF wasn't available until just a couple of days ago.
The issue with that method for me won't work is because I'm not on .604 I'm on .516

I think the link for .604 is there as well.
Spend a little time digging through the older posts int he dev section. Everything you need is in there.
Alright I figured it all out thanks ! On Froyo now
Trying to find the sbf file and the a one click root for a droid cliq on tmobile. Having touble finding the files. Seem like I need to get rsdlite 4.6 but cant find the sbf files for a droid cliq. Also heard of a couple of root programs but not sure they will work on his phone. I believe it is a droid cliq running 2.1 update 1. Not sure, just trying to help him root it. But I don't want to brick his phone.
Thanks
I don't know any specifics about the Cliq; however, Pete's website says that his Pete's Motorola Root Tools works on the Cliq.
A thread for Pete's Motorola Root Tools can be found here in the Droid X General forum.

z4root works to root it, i know cause i have used it and installed cm7 on the cliq.
Which implementation for "Flash ClockworkModRecovery" should I use with rooted GB 2.3.5, Milestone X, C-Spire (Cellular South)?
Droid X or Droid 2?
Thanks.
pretty sure that it is droid 2 droid x
Nothing (none of the options w/ uninstall and wiping of the Clockwork Folder) worked, then I got "DROID X Bootstrapper" from a MegaDownload or something similar
and
made my first backup. Great!
Now to tackle Custom ROMS and pitfalls. I still need to efficiently get to SBF my phone back to FROYO for security.
Definitely DROID X Bootstrapper from market......worth the money impo..
on gingerbread with the x... droid 2 bootstrap actually works better... so when ya buy one to support the dev... get droid 2 bootstrap... so you can keep usb debugging enabled...
Good to know Nemo.... Wait a minute, hell, I'm using debugging right now with the first 1.....???? What's up with that?

check the link in my signature below. there is a link to Doomlord's zergrush root.
I tried the zergrush root but my phone would not down load. It kept saying that the down load was unsuccessful or that it failed. My phone was rooted before but when I did the update it messed up. Help. Im new to all this and still trying to learn.
That isn't an application you use on your phone...
And .zips won't download with the stock browser, is your problem.
Download it to your PC and run it with your phone plugged in.

Hi I'm new to the Droid X community, and I saw somewhere that .621 was not rootable but then I saw somewhere else someone found a loophole?
I don't know how updated/accurate those statements are, therefore I am asking a question to you guys.
How do I root this phone? Is there the Superoneclick? Or is there a long root process or what?
I have a droid x 4.5.621.MB810.Verizon.en.US.
Thank you so much for helping.

I found this site, but I'm not sure if it's reliable because it is a year old....
two options
root with magic md5
magic md5 root for d2, d2g, dx, & dx2

or use ezSBF milestone 604
and root with zergrush

i used this root method today as a last resort (i dont like using methods that take different software to work) and i lost my 3g. im fairly seasoned at root but this is the first time ive come across this problem. im on baseband BP_C_01.09.15P and ive reset my phone, called the *228 and battery pulled a few times and still no results. can anyone help?
well don't remember anyone losing 3g before, and no reason magic md5 root would cause
this
I would try flashing 621 SBF
(i dont like using methods that take different software to work

not sure which root methods, you would have used that, doesn't use software
if you don't like it, flash milestone 604 with sbf_flash, and root with zergrush
just don't flash 604 with rsd lite, it will change the radio
Is there video on how to do this method, I have a Droid x and i want it rooted, but Im no good on written instructions, I do better with video.
I have same version...did u get it rooted?
