[Q] New DX rooting help

Hi,
i just picked up a new DX and i want to root it. Ive been reviewing a bunch of threads to get info on how to do it, there are plenty available but im not quite sure since info seem to vary from thread to thread.
I found a thread that may work using One Click Root but i dont see the DX as a supported device.
I found another thread that says their method will work on 2.2.19.A955 AND 2.2.20.A955 but when i look at my device i show System Vers:2.3.15 mb810
Android version 2.2
Im familar with the rooting process, I have an Eris that i rooted and installed many different roms so im not a complete noob.
Saying that, I used up a bunch of points with my wife to get this phone so i want to make sure i dont screw it up.
Can anyone provide any insight on if the above will work or if not do you have a link that you found helpful?
Bah... cant link to the threads mentioned above

This is the method I've used many times. If your comfortable with adb.http://destdroid.com/showthread.php?11-Droid-X-2.2-Root-Manual-Method

T-Mobile Uk Roms

Hi all, just got an upgrade this week to the Atrix and thoroughly enjoying it so far. As a poweruser with the HD2 and all the hacks involved like android on nand etc, the first thing I did out of the box was root it.
Now to my point, all the custom roms I'm seeing seem to be for At+t and Bell (is that the right carriers?), and the forum is Atrix 4G. So can I as a UK user use these same roms/radios that are outlined in the development forum?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Greetings. I have the same backround as you . I nearly stayed with my hd2 but i'm glad I didn't. The only gingerbread rom for us is the orange one in the dev forum. I have had no success flashing this yet. Soft bricked 3 times and counting.
There is an international fruit cake in the works rich we will be able to flash from CWM.
So far rooting is fine.
Unlockingbootloader is fine.
flashing Cwm if fine.
I keep meaning to start a t-mob uk thread to collect all the info for us uk tmob users into one place. I will get round to it eventualy if some one doesn't beer me to it.

Hi there.
I am on Orange U.K, and i have successfully flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409. Following this guide to flash the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167373.
Many international users have flashed this ROM as well but REMEMBER to unlock your bootloader before even considering flashing this ROM.
When unlocking your bootloader, you will notice that you will only have around 300 total RAM but if you flash the hack relevant to your device, you will retain your RAM when you flash to Gingerbread.
Please follow the guide properly and don't skip any step. BTW, if your bootloader is not unlocked, we will probably be getting Gingerbread soon since the SOAK testing is about to begin very soon.

Similar story, i'm on Orange, followed those steps and it's working great. Just had to replace the missing sound files, but apart from that, works a treat.

Now since we have an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any ROM. Just make sure you flash the proper boot.img for your phone. See the fixes section for the pudding thread.

I thought we still had to be careful with the Roms, as some of them contain files that are tied to the kernel version (until the port everything over). For example, the ninja rom, I believe it is crrently tied to AT&T at the moment. I presumed we had to wait for a safe INTL version..

I think we can install and lunch any Rom now. The only limitation for inte. users is Ram issue. Otherwise will work fine.

great, thanks. Maybe I'll try another rom then I'd like one without any MotoBlur stuff on it, although the French 2.3.4 is running very well.

You can. I had to switch my dhd recently due to hardware issues. They gave me back a gb dhd which was rooted again by me at the first evening. Follow the instructions and you can manage it!

Time ago I upgrade too by mistake to '2.3.37' and this thread had the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
Be carefull in goldcard step when copying the serial from phone to post in the revSkill page. Took me two attempts to create correctly the goldcard to execute the downgrade.

i could do with pointing in the right direction
i have a dhd - unbranded
android 2.3.3
sense 2.1
build 2.50.405.2
i have read through the downgrading instructions i have found and downloaded the files but can't get it to work
when i run adb it doesn't even find my dhd!
any advice would be appreciated

maybe you forgot to turn usb debuging? or set to carge only ? or put all files to downgrade folder? try doing everything the tutorial says, cuz i had no problems when downgrading my DHD. Good luck

Help, please!

My friend asked me to root his samsung galaxy for him. He doesn't have a sim card in it and it is running 2.2 froyo. I have tons on experience rooting and ROMing my Droid x2 from Verizon and my Acer tablet but I don't know where to begin on this phone. I read the sticky and I've been researching for the past week and have still yet to even get the correct drivers. My friend needs it tommorow, and he already gave me some money to do it for him. If any one, any one at all could link me to the drivers for the phone, and how to root it (prefferebly not through adb) or if you can do it without hooking it up to the computer, I would be eternally greatful! All I need to do is get the phone rooted and get a recovery on there. Somebody please help! Thanks guys!!!

galaxy what?

Galaxy s!!! When it boots up it says world phone too, if that makes a difference

There's a bunch of different galaxy s phones. Start by making sure you know which one it is and just reading all the stickies threads. I don't have any experience with galaxy s phones though so I might not be much help but ill do what I can.

Dude,

After you flash it you can flash wwith odin the proper version fot CF-Root from chain fire (it should be with the same extension _JVZ or _JVT, because it is working just fine).
If you do not fing them send me your mail and I wil upload them for you. All of them.

Please help me get the girl.

Okay, long story short, I've been having a nightmare with my phone. So I did this, and then installed gingerbread, and the excellent CM7.2 mod.
BUT, because of the AT&T froyo backup file I installed using Roadkil disk image, my phone is now locked to AT&T.
If I can't unlock the phone, or find a different (unlocked) froyo backup file, I can't get in touch with this awesome girl I've got a date with tomorrow.
Please help me get my phone working again, so that I can go on this date!

Try installing official GB(if you have the u8800pro) and then any custom ROM you want(looks like you have the pro and used the -51 method). And for Christ's sake please post questions to Q&A forum -.-'
 @diestarbucks request to move these 2 threads to Q&A

I answered to you on your other thread.
Only a user of -51 can help you.
But as i read, you have AT&T and i really don't know how to fix your problem.
Sent from my U8800pro using xda premium

You can unlock the phone with the u8800-51 upgrade to gb tutorial.

So, the phone is fixed (kinda). I used the official gingerbread and that unlocked it. It's still got an AT&T logo when it boots, and it's definitely a U8800 pro. But, it works fine with cm7.2, so it's all good.
And the date went extremely well, so thanks for that.
