Yes it did. Use Easy Root. I had my 2.2. FRG01B Droid rooted in a matter of minutes.

Were to download it at? It's not in market or at unstableapps cause site was removed to illegal stuff. So were can I download it?

Looks like the Easy Root website is indeed out of commission for now.

You might have to do it the old way. Flash back to 2.01 with RSD Lite and the sbf file. Force the update to 2.1, root your phone, then upgrade to FRG01B (rooted version), or load a custom 2.2. rom of your choice.

EasyRoot is the easiest way, but it's not the only way. You'll have to do the research yourself to ensure that you know everything you need to know to safely use the other methods.
Personally I would wait for EasyRoot to get back online.

i finally took the plunge yesterday and used easy root, first think i did was install set cpu and up the clock speed. now i want to install a custom rom but need to research how to do it

easy root = 1 button rooting. to easy for words

 

[shadowdude777]

Every time I've heard of someone having issues with their phone after rooting (usually losing custom recovery and whatnot), they used Easy Root. I would personally just flash the SBF file with RSD Lite in the traditional way.

 

[Tugdaturtle]

Well some one has to have the file some were for download via megaupload or other host

Forget easyroot! Its supposedly stolen code from droidmod in which the dev charges. Dont support him!

Instead, some devs at XDA have come up with their own app called Universal Androot. Its safe, FREE, and done without any stolen code (as far as anyone can tell so far).

The site to download it at is: universalandroot ????

Its in chinese or something but you should be able to figure out how to download it. Do it from your phone and install it right away.

I've used it already and it worked flawlessly. Took 5 seconds to root my device (had to use it since I accidentally installed the stock 2.2 and lost root - didnt want to have to jump through all the hoops of downgrading, re-rooting, etc)

BTW - descriptions do not list the moto droid as a supported device but it does work. Search around if you are hesitant - other moto droid users have had success as well

Sharing and even linking to pirated, private/paid apps is against the rules on this forum.

On another note, is easy root still causing recovery issues? The last I heard, almost everyone who used easy root had some sort of issue with the recoveries and had to work very hard to correct the errors.

That's fine. I was just nicely warning you so you don't accidentally get the ban hammer.

If you're so happy with root, why would you flash back to stock? You realize that we have the FRG22 based code, and more importantly, ROMs built from source which is even more up-to-date than FRG22 (FRG22 was pulled at some point from source, so ROMs pulled from source after FRG22 was pulled should be even newer).

Rooting has gotten so easy a 5 year old can do it?
