Got a question for all the experts. Recently got a Droid X, upgraded to the official 2.2 release but I now have the itch to root the phone so that I can use density changer and free tethering.
1. Is it possible to do a full backup just in case things go south?
2. If a full backup is possible should I perform a factory reset followed by the backup to ensure a clean image?
3. If the phone is semi bricked will the backup fix the problem? I used lcd density changer on a droid original in the early days and it totally hosed the phone when selecting a very low density number. Could not do anything until I reloaded a clean rom from the sd card. I want to make sure that I can recover from such events on a Droid X running 2.2 by re-flashing to a clean image.
4. And last but not least. Does root access stay if I do a factory reset? Or is it there until I manually unroot?
I apologize upfront but I see a mixture of 2.1 and 2.2 tutorials on this site. Would be nice if there was a 2.2 only section for rooting and backing up.
