Did anyone else who got their update 2.2.3 upgrade (got mine this morning) now have problems rooting using 2.2.3
No dice - took phone back to pure stock and no update available. I wonder if the phone needs to be activated - I think it does, now that I think about it....
Tough decision - do I take my BIONIC off the networks for a while to find out if this is breaking root, or just 'fuhgedaboudit?"
I am new to this. Do you use this file to take the phone back to 2.2.2 or earlier? I have 2.2.3 and want to root the phone, but can't find anything on it. Is you use this file to revert back, how do I do it? Thanks.Um, looking for this?
Confirming that SuperOneClick 1.7 (with rageagainstthemachine option) works to root Froyo 2.2.3 on Original Droid.
I used 1.7 when I originally rooted and used the same for the current rooting. Judging by other posts in the forums, I did not expect it to work until I saw sabdullah's post. I uploaded it to 4shared for you. It contains both the psneuter and rageagainst the machine options. I used the default, which is psneuter, and it worked very quickly, and after only one try.Can You post a link for the SuperOneClick 1.7 with Rageagainstthemachine option. I see 1.7 links but no (RageAgainstTheMachine). Did you use SuperOneClick for the original root as I see that 1.9 is available also. I used gingerbreak to root and lost it with 2.2.3 OTA verizon update on OG Droid
Thanks Zandroidx, the link worked great and I am back to root. I used psneuter first and didnt work. was working got stuck in loop connection and i disabled usb bugging on second try in the middle of process when it got stuck. completed process but no root. I next tried the rage against the cage link. This worked great if you get stuck on a command after it starts keep the usb debugging box open and checked to start and uncheck the box if needed during root if same commands keep showing on screen saying no access. I had to extract the files to start and used the superoneclick icon and the rageagainstcage exploit on the right side on the app. All goes well.I used 1.7 when I originally rooted and used the same for the current rooting.

Let us know how it worked for you. Here's the link:

Well, I guess I have to go back and edit a few posts I made tonight.
I am sure that MotoCache1's method will still work as well. Or the manual RATG method.
Thanks icecold for the link to the pure file. Thanks to sabdullah for a new link to Pete's download section.
p.s. I guess I can't say this enough about anyone who posts and uses "one click rooting" files. You are immensely better off knowing the manual way to root your phone as most every official OTA update will break those files (better named as scripts). And on another note about those script/files, usually the 'author' of those scripts are actually using someone else's root exploit, then packaging it into an easily made script and calling it their own; without giving credit to the original author of the exploit.
just saying. . . . . .
I cannot emphasize that enough either.

Have you made sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone?Good day, accidentally let the OTA FRK76 update slip through several weeks back, and am now having issues manually rooting with the 'Rooting the Droid without rsd lite up to and including FRG83D' method. I get so far as step 13 and my prompt is still $ & not #.
Can you offer any advice / assistance? I would prefer not use any one-click method, besides, i'm running Ubuntu linux.
Thanks in advance!
Have you made sure that USB debugging is enabled on your phone?
menu -> settings -> applications -> developement -> usb debugging -> checked
Otherwise there is this method:
[HACKS] Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version
which is pretty much the sure fire method, however you will need the sbf_flash binary to use on Linux instead of RSD Lite 4.6 for windows.
good luck
