Are you on 2.1 or 2.2?

 

[alnova1]

Are you on 2.1 or 2.2?

I was on 2.1 but planning on going to 2.2 here in a bit.

 

[ralphtrent]

I just used it on my 2.2 (from OTA) droid 1 and I am now rooted. Love it, but now what?

 

[mortymouse]

I will not upgrade to Froyo until either it is release officially and confirmed to be rootable, or when a decent copy of Froyo is leaked/built/released that numerous users can confirm as working properly. I'm more of one of those people who let others do the testing for me, then I follow procedures given once all is said and done. I just got my phone yesterday, I do not want to **** this baby up right now. I don't care if I can downgrade or if there's little risk. I simply have no interest in it right now.

I rooted 2.1, not 2.2.

Oh yeah, no more Eris leak issues for me. LOL

wont work for me.. ive tried the universal androot.. hit the root button and it goes through some comands then says... Failed ! no~~~ fu goo~~~... what gives... and also have a zipped droidxroot file in astro but cant seem to do anything with it... me and my girl have been working for over an hour to root my droid x and her droid.. nothing we both bought easy root... for me it says just reboot i shut it off and turn it on and it doesnt work.. none of the apps for a rooted phone works... im beat i dont know what else to do... Fab. i might have to meet you some where to get this worked out lol... i wanna get my xbox live back up soon lol

Wow, really thats nuts. I first had went through the entire manual process, then used Easy Root to run it through and root, unroot, etc. Worked flawless and took a few seconds.

Have you installed superuser after you rooted? Your phone can be rooted but unless the su.apk is on the phone the rooted apps have nowhere to go for permissions.

Wow, does this mean it will work on DX 2.2?

 

[Fabolous]

No, the 2.2 release for Droid 1 was not patched, but it is on the D2 and DX.

well i just got my x a few hours ago and i rooted it successfully with androot lol

 

[jksilva]

I got a droid x last week and I am loving it. I am brand new to the android platform, and I would like to install root. I have been reading different threads for the last couple of weeks, but I think I have confused myself.

Are any of the apk installers better for using with this program? Or one that works better than others?

Before I run the installation, do I have to have the phone hooked up to my computer, or is this a standalone program? What about having blue tooth enabled, or the phone in debug mode; are they required?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Fabolous]

This is just an app you install on your phone like any other. Then, just click the root button to root the phone.

No need to attach to computer, switch on bluetooth, etc.

 

[jksilva]

But I first need to copy the file onto the sd card first, and then run the program to install it right? Are any of the apk installers better on a droid x?

I have installed programs from the market, but they installed automatically when I clicked installed I haven't installed anything manually yet.

 

[jksilva]

Whoops

 

[billster2006]

no just download bar code scanner and scan this barcode

then download that and install and hit the root button

has anyone succesfully used clockwork rom manger on a droid after rooting with this method or do i have to root using another method

 

[turnerw]

Thanks for posting Fabolus however if that is truly a Chinese developer like you mentioned there is no way I am installing that on my droid. From the Chinese and Free?? It's already been proven to find that the Chinese Govt. has been caught installing data tracking type software on various electronic devices manufactured in China sent to the US. Also there was this case also. I am normally not paranoid at all but I try and stay away from Chinese freeware as it surely raises a flag in my book.

yeah I am using it right now

 

[jksilva]

Hey, thanks for all the help. I ended up copying the file to my SD card last night and then downloaded an installer and called it quits for the night.

This morning before I logged into the forums I decided to go for it. It worked excellently. This is fantastic. Thanks for much again. Now it is time to download some root apps and start playing.

 

[Scav17]

yeah I am using it right now

thanks i couldnt figure out why it kept giving me the screen with the exclamation point in the triangle even after i flashed clockworrcks recovery several times so i just rooted using this Sticky: Guide to Rooting 2.2 for Windows and Linux on my computer running ubuntu gave me a lil trouble but im running bugless beast now and its nice love root

what is a justifiable reason for somebody to unroot their phone? and to use the universal androot "unroot" will i have to reinstall the bloatware (if i do delete them)?

returning it to verizon, and no you just won't have access to the system anymore or be able to use root only apps
