Hello, I've just re-rooted my Droid X. I lost root a couple days ago because I slipped up and took the 4.5.621 update and lost root. After figuring out I could not root on .621, I used the Linux method, and got Milestone X .604 ..Now, is it possible to update from .604 back to .621 WITHOUT losing my root? I've downloaded root keeper but I just wanted to double check. If anyone knows, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

So today I traded my Fasicnate for a Droid X. I unrooted my Fascinate that I traded but the Droid X I have has SuperUser installed on it already. I just want to take it back to stock so I know everything is good to go then re-root it myself. Im just looking for the quickest way to un-root it. Im not sure which root method the person I got it from used
Its on 2.2 currently. I just want SuperUser off of here so I can re do everything.
Android Verison -2.2
Baseband Version- BP_C_01.09.07p
try here it will bring you back to fresh OTA
so I just got a replacement handset with the newest OTA... is there ANY way I can get to root from here? (Ultimately, I want to be running MIUI.. help getting from here to that install would be awesome!)
Thanks!

Also, to get to 2.3.340 should i sbf the system only file or will that mess stuff up?

+1 on the Droid3 root method. Took the OTA for 602 on my son's stock DroidX and then ran the update right after. No problems.
I used this.

You can root via the instructions above but to get on MIUI you must first SBF to 2.3.34 (Google for more instructions), then root via Z4root, install Droid 2 Bootstrapper, then flash the MIUI rom via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Good luck! =D

i have droid-x and i have flashed so many roms (offiical and pre-root) and CM7 amd MIUI etc...
right now i am currently on 4.5.602 pre-root (the zip files that are part 1 and part 2)
i have my phone setup pretty much how i want...uninstalled a ton of crap with root uninstaller....already made my nand backup.
just wondering what i do from here to get OTA .602 installed and rooted and then what about all my data/apps that i have setup?
thanks
I have a buddy that has a droid x with the 2.3.3 software installed unrooted. he would like to root his phone and we are currently trying the one click root apk to no luck. is there anyone who has the time to walk me and my friend through the process. I have rooted before thunderbolt old droid x and droid og but i have not rooted droid x with gingerbread. PLEASE HELP!
Once my replacement data cable arrives I plan on using this method. Looks quite simple actually.

That thread worked for me
Hello XDA, it has been a very long time since I have upgraded my droid x, and I have decided to finally take action.
I am currently running an old build of Liberty Mod that I installed a very long time ago for Android 2.2.1.
I have heard negative things about the newest update, so I was just wondering where I should find the correct update file for upgrading to the current rootable OTA and installing cyanogen.
All help is appreciated.
I was in a similar situation myself so I might've able to help. What I did was sbf to 2.2 (not sure of the sbf file name) then took the OTAs till I got to .605 (this was before the .621 was in soak test). Then I rooted and flashed cm. now since the .621 OTA is live you will have to be careful. I would suggest doing what I did except watch the name of the OTA VERY CAREFULLY. If you get prompted for the .621 do not take it as it is unrootable currently. I can get you links later when I'm at my computer if needed.

Thank you for the response. I see what you did worked, but I also found an interesting post on rootzwiki that would imply all you have to do is wipe, install the .605 AIO and then install the current CM4DX-GB. Should I just follow that guide?
Upgrading to .605 is really unnecessary. You can flash all Gingerbread and ICS roms from .602.
You just need to SBF to .602. From there you will be able to root and install CyanogenMod.

Thank you for your response. I went ahead and formatted, installed the team black hat .605 AIO, and then wiped again and installed cm4dx-gb. I'm really loving CM7 and Gingerbread. Thank you very much for all of the responses. This thread can be closed now.
Hey guys.
I have a droid pro with the verizon sbf on it and no service. How do I upgrade it to 4.7.3 on it. I am rooted and have done this process to root it:
1: I sbfed back to 4.6.8
2: I rooted using pete's tool.
i have sbfed up to 4.7.3 but the ota rootkeeper does not remember the backup. I sbfed down for root.
