I'm trying to root my damn Droid X (pardon my frustration; It's been a long, uncooperative day). First I tried the method found here: Multiple phones - Root them, unroot them - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I tried using Step 2 Option A, since I don't have Windows on any computer I own or have access to. I get to the following part before it doesn't work properly:
I try to do step 4, but after typing ./rage*.bin I get an error message: Cannot find adb: No such file or directory

So I want to try some other method, since I don't know how to solve the adb problem, nor have I found any help online.


I have the official 2.2 OTA update and I'm running Linux Mint 9 GNOME.

Anyone know what I should do?

the file is actually rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin; I believe they were just doing that as shorthand.

this is how it should look:

1. cd /tmp
2. cp /sdcard/download/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin/tmp/
3. chmod 777 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
4. ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Hope this helps!!!

Alright, so I managed to get rooted (or so my terminal tells me) via this method: Root Motorola Droid 2, Droid X With 1 Click On Windows, Mac OSX, Linux

So how will I know if it worked? Do I have to restart my phone? Sorry, I'm really new to rooting.
