Easyroot on Droid 2

I tried using easyroot on my new Droid 2 and couldn't get it to work. App says it rooted successfully and need to reboot. After a reboot, it tries to root all over. Also, I noticed it says "prepping to root moto droid x". I'm assuming this mistake is related. Perhaps easyroot doesn't support droid 2?
Anyone have an easy way for a noob to root? Clear instructions on doing it manually would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thread moved in Droid 2 General.

currently there is no gui way to root the D2

I thought the current way was easy. Its all just copy and paste.....

There is a one click solution right in these forums under android development for droid 2..
I am too new of a user or I would supply link.. real easy to find though
called Easy 1-2-3 Root, first post in that forum at time of this posting

Milestone X - C-Spire - ClockworkMod & rooted 2.3.5?

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.

[Q] Clockworkmod for the Razr M?

Hey guys! I'm new to this site but I know a little bit about stuff like this. I just rooted my Razr M and for some reason I can't flash clockworkmod recovery. Does anyone know when it's coming out? Thanks!

Honestly with a locked bootloader progress will be very slow. It's the one thing keeping me from trading in my s3 for one, I love the smaller size.

Looks like Hashcode may be working on CWM for the Razr HD and possible Razr M at some point. From his Twitter @Hashcode0f yesterday:
"sent me over everything I need to start working on a Safestrap for the RAZR-HD. I can probably do a build for RAZR-M as well."
If you don't know Hashcode he is an amazing dev that has Safetrap (which is a method to install CWM/TWRP on Motorolas with locked bootloaders) working on the Droid 3, 4, Bionic and OG Razr. Along with some help from others he has also got kexec working on these devices which allows you to bypass the locked bootloader and load a custom kernel.

I also started following him on twitter. Luckily the Razr HD will have a good following and thus means the M too. Someone looks to have the dev phone for M so we'll see how far we get.

The M is a great phone. I haven't used the HD yet but I hear a lot of good stuff about it. I just like the look of the M and the screen size. I can't wait until some new ROMs come out for it.

Follow Hashcode0f on Twitter for updates. On the 24th he when someone asked his about safe strap for the Razr M he said: "Yes. Working on some bugs with the new splashscreen supporting softkeys." He recently switched to TWRP instead of CWM for Safestrap so it sounds like he is working on that for the Razr M and I imagine the HD eventually. Hashcodes working on a bunch of devices, Kindle Fire, Droid 3, Bionic, Razr, Droid 4, and sounds like he's starting on more. Droid 3 users were left on GB with a locked bootloader and he has been able to, with the help of others, use a kexec bootloader bypass to give us a 3.x custom kernel and CM9/CM10.
I've been watching the Razr M forums, because I'm thinking it will be my next phone. I can't stand all of these large phones, I want something pocketable, but with decent specs and build quality. I've been impressed with the build quality and radios on Motorola hardware, not so impressed with the lack of software updates, but I think with new management that is going to change. The Razr M is the only phone I've seen in a while on Verizon that fits my requirements.

Aussie M user here (GSM not CDMA) but I can tell you that you won't be sorry its the best phone I"ve ever owned (and I had a N1! lol)

You can also follow dhacker29 on Twitter. He is another Motorola dev that has recently begun working with the Razr M. He has a developer edition with a custom kernel booted as seen here:
http://via.me/-6cs9kag
He mentioned making his work available on the locked Ms someday. If they can get the kexec bootloader bypass working with safestrap then the locked Razr Ms will become a lot more dev friendly.

safestrap does that for you. it allows you to backup your current system with various ROM slots.

[Q] I have to go back to stock... can someone help me up on my feet?

I know how to RSD, I've done it before... Just not with the RAZR M. And from what I understand, it's called XML now...
I'm looking here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php for XML files, but I don't want to install one that will prevent me from unlocking the bootloader... My RAZR M came with 98.16.1, which I think is 4.1.2.
I would be very grateful if someone would help me, I'm sure if I googled enough I could figure it out, I just really don't know what I'm doing here, first day with the RAZR M. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure the update is .78. However, just unlock the bootloader now, and you'll be safe.

Thank you.
Yes, for anyone that visits this thread, that linked update was the one I needed (98.16.1 I'm guessing since that's what it came with), RSD lite took it and the update worked.
It seemed to hang on flashing system, just give it 5 minutes or so!
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

Two things to keep in mind, once the phone has been unlocked, it cannot be undone, and once it has been updated to .78, you cannot unlock the boot loader if you did not do so prior to the update. You can't simply RSD back to the older version and unlock it later if you change your mind.

Thanks, I knew enough to avoid the 78 update, but I didn't know RSDing didn't relock the boot loader!

Whats up, my brother gave me his razr maxx hd xt926 yesterday and he wants me to switch it to GSM so he can use ST. I promised him ill do more than that with your phone! well when I got on my computer I was seeing that you cant unlock or get root because he had the latest update, this is what h its running 9.30.1 XT926 4.1.2 build 9.8.1q-94-1 . luckily I got root using saferoot that's one problem down. now I would be glad if anybody could point me in the right direction for the next step I should take to be able to get roms and that cool stuff. the switching to GSM looks like no problems. I know I need a recovery to. should I install a recovery first or do the GSM thing first witch one is best to do first? I already have root and phone is still locked.

It's great and simple to use.

Yes Prabu is right, we have to wait untill there is a bootloader unlock for latest build 9.30.1, after that we can have custom roms,

Hi all, can any one please help here, i flashed the Rage HD 2.6 rom with safestrap, later on i went back to stock, there is rage hd startup screen every time fone boots up, i flashed the fone with razr HD utility, 1.34, even still it shows up the rage hd boot screen, how to have motorola logo back, please, any help would be appriciated.

Do you mean bootanimation? If yes, just replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip with original one.

No not boot animation, i've done that, copied stock boot animation zip in system/media, but that didnt work. Its rage hd splash screen with lightening and blue color, immediately after power on, earlier it was moto M sign in red color.
