i have no idea how to root any droids i have done alot of other phones but not a droid. is there anything i should know so i dont ruin it? all i want to do is be able to flash custom roms on one. my girlfriend just got a droid x and wants me to change the roms so it would look different and i want to learn how to root a droid. ive heard of hboot versions for the droid incredible 2 so is there something like that for the droid x? thanks for any and all help and sorry if anything has been said already.
I will posting a guide tonight on how to root a DROID X that has taken the latest update, if you don't mind waiting for that thread

Root it first, then overclock and undervolt that bad boy. Lots of fun ahead.

What android version is your tablet running?

then read...and read...and root!
Mate, this a developers forum, theres help available BUT you are expected to use your own noggin first... Read a bit then, if you're not sure, ask questions. It'll get you more help in a nicer manner than just going "I'm looking root my tablet thanks for your help "...
This approach will generally get you flamed instead... I'm amazed you weren't just totally ignored...
I know it can not be rooted yet, I am wondering if there is anything I can do to it? Maybe revert it back to Froyo or anything else that I could then obtain root? If not, no big deal because I use a Razr now, but my daughter plays around with this and I just wanted to have more options with it.
Thanks for the help in advance.

I didn't think so, Thanks for the help Albinoman. I have been reading some of your posts, I saw you mention you were working on root, hope it all works out and thanks for all your contributions.

Well here goes gentleman. I'm posting this up at the request of a few other members. One of whom contacted NRGZ to see if he would port one of his Roms over to the Shift. The Rom that he is thinking about porting over to the Shift is on THIS Thread. It is Sense 3.5. I've tried it on the OG EVO 4G , and it is quite nice. So if you want another Dev to possibly work on the Shift. POST UP . The link to the thread will be sent to him, and he'll be checking to see if there is any interest.
Yes yes prboy is correct this ROM Is awesome and runs great on my OG evo and I really hope you guys are as happy with this ROM as I am... Thank you again PR for starting this thread .... And many many thanks too NRGZ28 for his time for porting Thiis over I know the shifters will love it... Give thanks to him he doesn't even hAve Sprint service but is taking his time to keep the shift moving...

Was hoping to see an energyrom for us someday! Reminds me of the winmo days lol
As long as it rivals NewSense I'm all for it.
It's always good to have something new to play with

I've got the ROM ready... just needs a bit more testing If anybody sees this that can part with their shift for a few days, so I can perfect this ROM on an actual device, let me know. I would only it need it for a day or two, then I will return it to you
Well your in luck I could loan mine to you hit me with a PM...

Yup bootloader has been unlocked, now just waiting for the info on the process to do so. And if you are not rooted on the latest OTA(4.1.2) its not possible to unlock until a root exploit or downgrade process is found.
Droid life is reporting a public release as soon as tomorrow

Hell yeah! Been waiting for this for ages. Thank god I stayed on 4.1.1.
That's great news! Maybe that'll get some more devs for the HDs!

"Today, Dan "Djrbliss" accomplished a feat that was said to be impossible. He exploited Motorola's 256 bit encrypted bootloader for the DROID RAZR M, DROID RAZR HD and Atrix HD. Many have tried all over the world and failed. Dan has proven yet again that he is a force to be reckoned with. We would nothing if it was not for this altruistic man. I tip my hat an say thank you once again for giving us everything that you do."

This is awesome news for moto users. I went as far as buying a dev ed razr m back in the day bc I was tired of motos bs but love motos ruggedness and aosp like ui. Dan once again does it. Going to be very hard to pull me from my Note 2 but the HD maxx is a good looking phone. I say bring on the x phone. My only question is how easy can Moto or Verizon kill this crack?

Well done
This has got to to be the best news I have read in the last week! My Maxx HD comes in today and I am hoping for an easier root method soon to come.
----Edit------
I had been harboring dread that my Maxx HD would come in with 4.1.2 and I am so glad it came in with 4.1.1 Now it is time to flash and root...

well dont get too excited yet cause if it comes in today from Verizon it will most likely have 4.1.2 which cant be root yet and cant go back so you will have to wait until root is released. i would bet it wont be long though
Ok so this means that I will be able to root my HD without loosing warranty? please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of newbie on this world
Amazing. I can't wait until this is released to the public.
The unlock tool will be available in few hours

Numerous reasons. One being warranty if ever needed. And I really don't like doing anything to my phone that's not reversible.

Ehh, I see your point. Chances are probably higher that someone will bork their phone before a warranty issue comes up.....

Does anybody know where he'll post the info on the exploit? And when?
