I'm on 621 stock, and forgot how annoying the car dock app launching on its own is. I'm surprised there isn't some kind of rom or root app yet, I know devs moved on but there's gotta be a way.
Motorola closed off all known root exploits. ALL of them. It was described to me as a "slaughter". Unless or until someone comes up with something else all we can do is curse Moto. They're making the rounds to all of the of the phones with these phony "feature fix" updates so we'll have company soon. The D2 and D3 have already joined us.

You will keep root on .621 by using OTA Rootkeeper until something messes up and you bootloop and you have to SBF again. Then it will be gone for good.

Tried this, the SBF file is legit, but you will not be able to activate service on the verizon network. did not try to root while on this, since it would still do no good to have a device without phone service.
The root does not work with the .621 SBF
It was, however, a good try and shows us there is a possibility that we can eventually get off this version.

People have been figuring out exploits for every iOS version for the iPhone since it came out, and I seriously doubt Motorola figured something out this quick that has been eluding Apple. Now, if it never gets rooted because devs just don't care, that's not a win for Motorola really, just a fail for the devs. I've never rooted my DX, but I wouldn't mind having the option, so hope it happens before I just go get a new phone, lol!
This might sound kinda silly... I know what Linux is.. but never used it to my knowlwdge. Can I use it on a windows 7 machine or do I need a whole new Linux computer?

Yes, this is completely seperate from the operating system you currently have, it boots from the cd and will be isolated from your current system.
When you boot, you need to watch for the "f" key you need to press when booting, it is commonly "f2", but some are different. At that point, you will be prompted to choose the boot device you want, either cd, disc drive or usb, selct the drive by using the arrow keys, and you're set.
Ok, slowly getting there.. lol Thanks for the responses.. I have unbunto 11.10 up and running off a USB drive. I have the two files on the USB as well. When I open the terminal, and try the command prompts for getting the files off the USB, it seems to not work. Also, should I go ahead and plug the droid in in Bootloader mode? I am trying to just download the two files through unbuntu with the mozilla browser, but it seems way slow.. Also, if I get the rooted Milestone on my droid, will it eventually be a droid again after I flash a rom from CWM? I am a total newb, and rooted before all this with a one click root so I really never understood just what I did. I like the feel of Unbuntu and would enjoy learning more about it for sure. Could I build a pc and just put this Linux on it instead of the expensive Windows and see similar results? I know thats off topic, but I wonder if my PC games would play on this..
Totally confused... In the terminal, I have been trying the commands listed, but it tells me no such file or directory. I have the two file in the Downloads folder, and on the Unbunto desktop, but it seems to not want to work for me...
do you have to put spaces in when entering commands in the terminal? the commands are just not working.. I saw another thread similar to the one posted in this forum that was a bit more clear with the commands, but of course cannot find it now... is there a way to do this that is easy so a caveman can do it?
well, right now I just need to get advice on these commands.. because as usual, whenever I command anything, it never happens...lol I have the Ubunto on my USB drive, and it boot fine.. just not taking these posted commands.
Man, I hate to make all these post... but now I actually got the first command in, and then the second, and it ran for a second, then it says >>waiting for phone: FAILED: could not claim usb interface (Are you root?)
I am now a Milestone... All settings on phone the same, data everything, only diff is it says milestone, amungst some other different stuff in the about phone section. Now, to root, do I need to still run through Ubuntu, or can I run the zip on windows? Seems to not want to run in Ubuntu..
Seems to not want to take Z4root.. keeps force closing after about 30 seconds.... when I try it again the program won't run. (APK program from phone.) I tried the install froma a computer and that didn't work either. After it fails it botches things up to where a factory reset only through the recovery will work, force closes when u try to do it though the phone program... will try and re-sbf later and see if that helps, unless any ideas... I followed all directions with the settings and so forth so I confused not.. So close to being rooted again..
From what I gathered .. it was included in the two files download in this thread..it was in the file as a zip. DooMLoRd v4 was what was said to work.lol.. at least I thought so..I will re read..

Oh ok.... well, I originally used the one in the file, named Doomlord... when I installed it it was called z4.... I'm trying rooting with Gingerbreak APK now... since the build is 604, will post back if that works..
No root method on 621 yet?
