Root One click root

[Redflea]

Any news on the 1 click progress?

Have you looked at the "manual" process? It's quite easy...if that's keeping you from rooting, you must not want to root very much.

There is now a three step script that simplifies it even further.

xda-developers - View Single Post - How to root the Droid 2

Time to fish or cut bait - one-click is just highly unlikely to show up for the D2...

I keep putting this off, mostly because I'm cross-eyed by the time I get home from work since I stare at a computer screen for eight hours a day. haha.

Apparently a 1 click root is coming within a day or two. It already works on linux and they are working on a windows port within the next day or so.

Cool...where'd you see it? XDA?

Yes sir. Xda.

would the one click root method for the droid x work for the D2

Didn't know if posting links to other sites was ok or not.

Much simpler guide for rooting (no pc required) - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Awesome find. Thanks for posting that. I just rooted my D2 using the no PC method. It took longer to dropbox the files onto the phone than to do the actual rooting (mainly because reception in my work building sucks).

I did have to reprogram my phone with *228 to regain data, though (unless that was coincidental, again considering my reception at work).

VZW's activation site can go off sometimes...try it again after a little while.

Somebody needs to compile the write up for noobs like me to get EPIC from scratch... I believe that includes the following....

#1 ROOT YOUR DROID2

#2 INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY

#3 DO A NANDROID BACKUP

#4 INSTALL EPIC 2.X

Correct me if I am wrong....

 

[Redflea]

That's correct.

In some cases you might end up having to do a Factory Reset as a part of installing a new ROM, but I believe Epic installs trouble-free over the stock ROM w/out wiping data at this point.

One of the one click developers, Unstable Apps who made EasyRoot, has basically said that it is not going to happen any time soon.

Having had a rooted Eris and waiting for things like A2SD and such, I learned that in this world, "it's going to be a while" means a few days
It's crazy how things can change so fast with these phones!

I'm just got my D2 yesterday. Not going to root it until after my 30 days probably(if i can wait that long).
Hopefully the 1-click root is available. If not, i'll just have to get my hands dirty

I installed it this evening, and it did install over top of the stock ROM. The only thing I had to do was delete and replace all of my widgets, as they were showing "Problem Displaying Widget" or something similar.
