Root New Official Gingerbread 4.5.602 for Droid X

OK, finally got it to work. After downloading 4.5.602 from the TBH app do the following.

1. SBF to Froyo .340.
2. Once up and running install Z4root and reboot BEFORE you open Z4Root (rebooting before you open is a must or Z4 will NOT work)
3. After reboot make sure usb debugging is on, then open Z4Root and select permanent root. Let Z4 do its thing and when done your Droid X will automatically reboot.
4. Once booted back up install Droid 2 bootstrap. Open bootstrap and boot into recovery.
5. Once in recovery go to mounts.
6. Once in mounts format system, format data, format cache in that order.
7. After completing #6 while still in mounts next mount system.
8. Go back and choose install zip from SD card.
9. Scroll to where ever you have 4.5.602 and select it.
10. Once complete just reboot and set up your Droid X and you should be good to go.


Thank you FragDroidX it worked prefect :D

I saw a post where I guy claimed he was rooted (but not deodexed) and took the update and didn't lose root.

Was it perhaps the post I remember responding to (I haven't checked as to what their response was) in which he had superuser but could still take the OTA? Cause, as we know, having superuser doesn't necessarily mean one has root.
