I am attempting to root my droid x using MOTOROLA GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 ONE-CLICK ROOT, using psouza4 ran the tool normally and got,
ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method
Try again from the start, but if the problem continues, check your version
of Gingerbread -- hopefully you don't have a version where this exploit
was fixed.
So them I tried the Droid X Notes and got
rm failed for /system/bin/su, read only file system so I changed the properties removing read only rebooted my machine and I still get the same errors for both. Any ideas? Does this root no longer work? Anyone have one that does?
Unfortunately, that method does not work with 2.3.4 (Droid X System Version .621.).
Use this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823112.

Im trying to root my D2. Followed the guide on TheUnlockr. Got to one of the final steps (the one where it tells you to download ConnectBot and type cd /data/local/tmp, enter, ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin).
That works for me. Then it says something like "forked xxxx children". Then I type exit, and it freezes til it force closes. I can't reopen the app after. I have to uninstall/reinstall and usually pull the battery.
I've tried different terminal emulators as well; they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else rooted using this method? am I doing something wrong? Btw, I have a Droid 2 Global (if it matters) running 2.3

That, or search for Z4Root, it will root a Froyo Droid 2 or D2G, but if you already ran the OTA GB update it will not, you'd need the method above.
Thanks, I'll check it out in a little bit. I did use the Z4 method prior to the recent OTA update. It said it worked, but I couldn't flash a custom rom. Also, when I used a Root Checker from the Market, it said I wasn't rooted either. This is all before I updated.

Edit: That one-click method didn't work either. It went through, rebooted my phone three times, and said it should be rooted. I used that Root Check app, and it said I didn't have root access. Also went to use Barnacle Wi-Fi Tethering, and that said I didn't have root either, even though I have SU on my phone.

I would SBF back to Froyo and run the OTA again, that will guarantee the root is removed. Then use the link I provided and you should have SU. Running Z4 might have corrupted some files since it's not compatible with OTA GB.

I am sending in my phone for repair. I have the following: Droid X, SV 4.5.621.MB810, AV 2.3.4, KV 2.6.32.9, and BN 4.5.1_57DX-51.
I am needing to remove /system/app/SuperUser.apk and /system/bin/SU. The device is not ROOTed so I am unable to remove it. Any ideas on how to remove this without finding a nonrooted 4.6.621 SDK?
I have tried deleting it through ADB and also through ROOT Explorer and they both failed because of permissions.
If not does anyone know where I can find a clean .621 so I can send it back to VZW?
Download the .621 SBF file and SBF the device. It will send it back to complete stock and should fix any software problems.

just tried your method and said that it was a read only file system after chmod 06755 /system/bin/su i was able to move the su from sd card to system/bin but when it comes to that step its read only
Try updating binaries in super user before you go crazy.

Okay, so after it uploaded CG66 it said waiting for device and my phone is in bootloader. I dont know what to do now, can you please help me my phone wont even boot up.
on some phones the reboot command does not work
disconnect usb cable, pull battery, wait 10 secs, replace battery, reboot phone, wait for it to completely reboot, reconnect usb cable, wait for program to continue, if it does not continue, restart program
if phone will not boot normally, verify you are using correct file and options
(not d2 4.5.621), may have to use sbf option
if it boots ok, first time, without usb connected, but reboots to bootloader 2nd time, repeat first steps

Thank you i did that and it worked! I now have an app called superuser and when i was looking through the settings my phone started lagging and it looked as it was frozen. I pulled the battery and it seems to work fine now. Thank you so much for your help
My phone is lagging again just from normal use after about 5 minutes. Any suggestions? When i start using my phone it starts to lag, but then it will stop and start again. My phone overall seems slower than before rooting. Thanks
rooting, should not change how well phone runs
it really is just giving you superuser, i would

Used magic md5 root. Booted image from USB Flash Drive stick. Worked 1st time. Very appreciative for the hard work put into this.
I just purchased a new Droid X several days ago and did not think it would be this difficult to find a way to root the phone. I really like this phone and even more now that it's rooted. Bye-bye bloatware!
Announcement
Hello, all. I'm working on an exploit to unlock the Verizon Moto E 2015's bootloader. I have achieved temporary root, but it is reset on reboot. Currently, I have a theory about unlocking the bootloader, but I'm still in progress of testing it. If any of you want to help, just comment on this thread. Sorry I don't have much to say yet lol (I just got the phone today), but hopefully soon I'll discover something. Recent updates in third post, milestones in second
Milestones
Kinda wish KingRoot was open source
Recent Mini Updates
Android 5.1
[9/04] Temp. Root, Reboots and loses it after short amount of time, working for fix
[9/05] Rerooted my device about 30 million times today. SystemUI keeps crashing and forcing a reboot. Can't get a permanent "hobbled root" yet, like some have managed.
[9/05] Moved the su binary into every folder where command binaries are stored (sbin, xbin, bin, etc.) and all were reset upon a reboot. And for some reason, on another test, all partitions somehow got remounted as read-only.
[9/05] Tried editing a script in /system/etc (init.qcom.bt.sh) to install su binary on boot; script reverted to original on reboot
Android 5.0
[9/05] Got it rooted once...Reset upon reboot, haven't accomplished it again since
Awesome!!!

Hi Bhamilto0347,
I am interested. Previously I had permanent root by Kingroot app. But after factory reset I lost the root. Now again I tried Kingroot, but root not surviving the reboot.
At random point of time, system partition mounts in rw mode...
Ok, Please share your method... we will try to work further.
Thanks
Did you have permaroot on 5.0.2 or 5.1?

Well, I'm working with the KingRoot app, too. I've just been looking for a way for it to stick. I haven't got it to mount in read/write yet, and it fails when I run the command while I have temp. root. I have a theory about unlocking the bootloader IF I can get permanent root.
Very interested in this.

I had it on 5.1
Then once I did factory reset & lost the root.
Now I try to get root by Kingroot but not sticking.....
While doing kingroot method, I found that /system partition mounts in rw mode for short period (5to10sec) after kingroot's 100% progress... I have created a script which will copy su & busybox to /system/xbin. I ran the script immediately after Kingroot's success as root user. Able to copy files to /system/xbin but not sticking reboot.
The system partition what we are seeing may not be an actual but shadow copy one which every time creates upon reboot from original one.
Hope the above information helps you.
I'd be willing to test, I only use my Verizon Moto E as a backup phone.
I think this is the problem we are going to see with all the newer phones. The red only is the same problem on the Samsung Note 4. I have a Motorola E for a backup and would love to see permanent root for it. Great phone for under $60, would love to see its full potential with a custom rom

It is safe. The king master that is installed is a toolbox, of sorts. Uninstall, Pandora, etc. There is even a script that will give you temp root if permanent root fails. All in all i would say its OK. I would suggest supersu over superuser. I just rooted an old s3 i had.
not sure though, use with caution but root sticks after reboot,
