Root The Official One-Click Rooting Solution for Droid Thread!!! :D :D LATEST: V2.0.4

Thanks! I'm looking around locally, I might have a deal with a guy for $100 and I'm going to talk him down (because I'm a master ;)).
Good luck with that hope you land yourself a Droid. Finally fixed mine, had to flash FRG22D update and then re-root. All is fine now, when I tried your 1.0.8(at least I think not sure...) I would get to the command prompt and toward the end it would have problems with some rageagaienstthecage stuff. I just rooted it the normal way because I wanted my backups back.

I was able to Root using 1.8rA. I had to run Soup or Root 3 times to finally get it to work. I don't know if this mattered or not, but on the first 2 tries I saw that the Droid was getting re-mounted after the reboot but before the process was complete. I forgot I had an auto mount app on the Droid. On the 3rd and successful attempt, I had disabled the auto mount. I was thinking this may have the problem, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your work.

First off, RDK you are pretty awesome!

I have tried 4 times to no avail, 5th time worked. First try was with 1.8rA. I don't remember the error, sorry. Next 3 tries were with the 2.04Beta and every one had the error "The process adb.exe not found." During the 5th attempt I got the same error on the first command, so I pushed the software in the background and started installing the android SDK. After awhile the beta hijacked the android sdk updater causing it to crash, but when my phone rebooted it had root! go figure.

System: Win 7 x64, Moto software already installed, PDAnet installed but not running, Droid 2.2 FRG22.

Note: It is not deleting the C:\souproot folder upon completion.

Keep up the good work!

Ok--so I've finally decided to take the plung!! I downloaded 2.06 beta and ran it. How do I know if it worked? I got a message at the end that said "If you don't see Superuser in your app drawer try running soup or root again." Well, I see Superuser in the app drawer, but I had it there before I did this.

Other then that I think it worked. Any suggestions...

:-edit-: I am ROOTED!! WOOHOO....

Sorry about 2.06 not having any sort of status bars or anything guys, I still have yet to figure out how to implement that with the new way of doing things. Next release should have a status bar or something, but when it "hangs" it's actually doing something, just sit tight for about 3 minutes until it completes! :D

P.S. Thanks to all those who have been donating, you rock my socks!!! :D :D

I ran into the same problem last night running 2.04. I thought I was rooted, but when I opened Titanium Backup, it said I was not rooted. Re-ran this afternoon after turning off Auto Mount and worked like a charm!!

Now I am running a backup and will move on to other fun stuff. ;)

Thanks so much for the process.

Omigosh omigosh omigosh I make viruses....not!!! Every time I run my program to even test on my computer, Kaspersky says it's a potential threat, NOT a virus.

The program is gaining access into the phone to do things that the computer (and A/V) traditionally do not do. What would you do if someone you didn't know came to your door saying they were going to work on your car? Potential threat? ;)

If it was a virus, someone would have said something by now over 10,000 views (and hundreds of runs) after this was released :)

WARNING:

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 detects Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.g in the old Soup or Root 1.8rA file.

If it makes you feel any better, I use an https://www.ironkey.com/ and every time I open the secure connections (read the website to understand if you have to), I get a potential thread warning. It is because it is using a secured, encrypted proxy, onion router to connect to the web. This activity throws up a red flag because some proxies are not exactly secure.

So, this is expected from time to time and I wouldn't worry about it too much for this program.

I maybe a missing something here. I've read this forum and a couple others trying to make sure I do this right and I think I still failed. I used 2.06 and that worked. But when I went to use RSD Light to install SPRecovery, I bricked my phone. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be great. Thanks!!!

1. I recommend using ROM Manager (it's free) from the marketplace to install ClockworkMod Recovery or SPRecovery (it's at the bottom in the app) because it won't mess up.
2. Did you really brick your phone or you just think you bricked it? As long as you can get back to the bootloader menu, you never bricked your phone.
3. If you don't want to hassle with it, I'll totally buy it from you!!! :D :D :D I need a new Droid! :D
4. I'm glad to hear you rooted fine, but sorry to hear RSD Lite messed up. :( :(
