It worked great for me, I rooted with it, tried a few root only apps...then I unrooted with it to see if it works, and it worked...then I rooted again so I can use those root only apps.
worked for me. painless, and quick. total time....less than 5 minutes.

Really Works? The Rooted Apps too?
Does this really work and do the rooted apps function? Why does this work and the bootloader has not been cracked? Cunfused....
And now there's this too.
I cant seem to get this to work. I downloaded the file, went and clicked root me and it just sits there. How long does it normally take
If that's all you did, then you need to reread the instructions. I'm sure it clearly states to toggle Bluetooth or wifi. I don't want to burn anyone but in my opinion, if you can't follow instructions maybe you shouldn't be rooting your phone.

will we still be able to use the one click method to root our phones after we have installed OTA update Froyo 2.2 from verizon in September. I have not rooted my X yet because the only thing i need it for is wifi tether and adblocker, i dont really need the custom ROMs. will i still be able to do this once my phone has received the update, if not will they develop a root for phones that have been updated via OTA
sorry for being such a noob thanks for your help

You cannot currently root a 2.2 device (unless you upgraded with that update.zip to 2.2 and moved SU), but I m sure that it will come sooner rather than later

Im using universal androot and have my phone rooted, which i believe is the same thing as 1click root will i still get the ota in September with root on, I hope i have not posted in a inappropriate place I just was curious.

I tried universal androot v1.6.1 and it was a no go, seemed soon after installing toolkit it kicked me out. I did the update.zip so i'm up to 2.2 now. Gonna try the droidx root in the first post see if that does it.

theres no way to root a 2.2 device yet, u have to root in 2.1 first then move su around and then move it again once upgraded to 2.2

this is incorrect. you can root your 2.2 Droid X with this method: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/26/droid2-rooting-method-works-for-droidx-running-froyo/
worked like a charm on first go for me.
My speaker on the back of my droidx is blown i need to take it to verizon. How do i get rid of superuser permissions app in app drawer? I rooted with universal androot. I was told you have to remove it first then unroot. So i looked for it in app manager to delete it but its not there. I tried unrooting it still not there. Rooted it back still not there. Thanks for ur help.

Traded the DINC in for the DX and rooted in 2 minutes!!!!!! Kinda miss the DINC, well I miss HTC Sence
does this one click root work for the 2.2? and is there a chance that the fone will not root correctly and not work?
anyone had a chance to look at this and try it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
I've heard it works but I have no need to try it
It appears that a few Droid X owners have successfully used this exploit, according to some of the responses in the link you provided. I'll be interested to see if this will work on the final Ginberbread OTA (keeping fingers crossed)!
I just tried it and it works. No problems arose.
That's definitely good news if the OTA comes out and it's got important tweaks that .588 doesn't have.

If wireless tether works for you then go ahead and use it, Verizon can only track the tbh hack. Some people have not been able tto get it to work
Gingerbreak worked flawlessly on my droidx

As long as you don't use it there will not be any problems
Just SBF'd to .340 and used the official update to .588, GingerBreak worked fine except I'm having issues getting Titanium Backup to recognize it has root. I get the prompt to allow it, but the app still says it doesn't have it. Other root apps, like adfree and autokiller memory work just fine. Hmf.
Scratch that. Just went back into TB, updated busybox and it's right as rain. Two thumbs up!
Works great for my DX, however, I need to un-root it and I've tried several ways from other forums and I am not having any luck.
Does anyone know the procedure to un-root for GingerBreak?
Edit: I don't have Gingerbread installed either, I'm just running 2.2.1 - I don't know if this makes a difference when trying to un-root this. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it. I've been scouring trying to find a solution and I've had no luck yet. I've tried rooting then unrooting when the one-click program and that isn't helping me either. Any suggestions??
I don't know if this can be answered but it doesn't hurt to ask. How come the ota cannot be rooted but the P3droid version of GB can be rooted? If its the same thing then what is the difference on why it cant be rooted?
Just going to guess here (this is speculation not fact) but I would assume that p3 being as skilled as he is was able to reopen the exploits used to root that motor/verizon closed in the ota.

yea, what chbennet said sounds about right.
it just has to be rooted before it's put onto the phone. once on the phone, it cant be done.
Hello all, first poster here. I want to root my Atrix, but I already have 4.1.83. Will this cause any problems? Also could somebody give a basic outline of rooting and installing custom roms on this particular phone? Thank you in advance for the info.

The first link is the thread over in the dev section that will link you to the second link I posted that will actually walk you through rooting and enabling side loading.
Good luck and back up your data first. You've been warned.
Ill tell you in a nutshell;
Flash 1.26
Run gladiroot
Upgrade to 1.57
Upgrade to 1.83
Run "afterupdate" gladiroot
Now you're on 1.83 rooted!

That route works as well, but takes much longer and is tougher to do if he is already on .83
From what I understand he would be better off using the Gladiroot method, but he may not be able to do all of that depending on his skill level.
update didn't screw up root
I am new to rooting as well and new to android (messed around a lot with WinMo with generous help from xda thanks).
Rooted my atrix just prior to the OTA update with intentions to try out how rooting worked and hoping that the new update will give me a fresh start if I screw up.
Installed my update 4.1.83 and looked to see if I lost my superuser status, and lo and behold it was still there. Also managed to side-load an apk (original intent for rooting) successfully after the update.
Haven't come across similar experience along the way so far.
(I used gingerbreak).
I had GreyBlur on 4.1.57, did Titanium backup to the EXTERNAL CARD (not internal storage), ran RSD with the 4.1.83, re rooted, reinstalled recovery, reflashed GreyBlur and most of my apps and settings stayed. the missing apps just got installed by Titanium and I had to resetup my home screens, but it was pretty painless. if you go all the way back to 4.1.26, it will put your phone back to stock and you will have to start over again. The last PITA is to modify the build.prop to get rid of the OTA message.
Can I root Gtab with new Touchwiz?
What method in particular are you concerned will no longer work? I'm not aware of any.
I'm actually curious about this as well. Mostly, what I would like to know, is if it is still possible to flash CWR via Odin, as listed in this thread, and apply the root exploit zip that the developers created.

Yep, I flashed CWR using that method immediately after accepting the OTA. I haven't reflashed that root exploit but I've flashed other zips and it works. Unless those binaries are no longer working in this version (which I'm sure is not the case), it'll work fine.

Cool sounds good. I'll probably give root a try later tomorrow, and let you know how it goes.
Thanks!
Roots just fine
I rooted mine after the update and it worked like a charm.
Would u Plza send me a detailed root guide, my tab is still as it is since I bought it from amazon, it will b great if u can send

Yeah, once you have Clockwork installed, you can just flash the root zip which adds the required files to your tab's filesystem.

I removed root and went back to stock a couple of weeks ago getting ready for the ICS update. I have not reset my device and updated to ICS. Can I now root using the same method I used before. I used the Brk root toolkit and it worked great for rooting and unrooting.
If I cannot use that is there something new I should use?
Thanks

Vipermod roots ICS just fine using option 1.
It must be early here or my brain is just not working. I have found a few posts on vipermod but I cannot seam to find the one with a link to it or how to use it. Can someone provide a link to the correct starting post?
Thanks again

Can this also be used to root a TF with a B90 serial number?
I got one for my son from best buy and black friday and he would like to root it now that he has ICS.
