Ok so I'm new to this rooting thing. I rooted my phone yesterday and superoneclick worked flawlessly. I then downloaded bootstrap and tried to deodex it. Seemed to be ok but I must've messed something up cause it got stuck trying to reboot itself at the eye. I took the steps to unbrick my phone and I was back up and running again. Whew!

I didn't play around with it anymore yesterday but was going to attempt again today. I noticed the superuser app was missing which I assumed made sense because I would guess unbricking it would also remove root. I tried superoneclick again to root and it says I'm rooted. Seemed easy enough. I go to look for the superuser app though and it isn't there. I try to reboot my recovery of the backup I made with bootstrap thinking that should have saved my root access but it won't take me into recovery. I can't use drocap2 and without the superuser app I'm assuming I'm not actually rooted. I know that is a necessity.

What am I doing wrong?

 

I see two terminal emulators in market...which one would you recommend?

I am trying to re-root but superoneclick just says "device is rooted" after it checks the device. Do I need to unroot to root again? And how would I unroot?

 

Thank you! I will have to try the new root

 

Ok still confused. I have, according to superoneclick, rooted, unrooted, rooted again, etc...but still can never get the superuser app to appear....

 

Weird. I'm downloading the market app now. never thought to look there....DUH!

Yeah, the first time I rooted, it appeared automatically. After I unbricked my phone and got it going again, it wasn't there....which like I said I would think makes sense because you would want to basically restore the phone....but even when superoneclick says it's been rooted, no matter how many times I try to unroot and root again, it won't show.

Edit--downloaded superuser from market and it seems to run just like the original I had that appeared automatically.....yay!!

 

edit---nevermind got it!

 

I was a little worried because it was at the eye for the LONGEST time. I thought something was wrong so pulled the battery but it took me right back into bootloader. When I bricked before it would try to reload again and was just stuck.

Patience is a virtue and it eventually loaded just fine...and now I have 928Droid running and all. Yay!!!

Thanks again everybody!

 

LOL Glad I'm not alone! I kept staring at it and was like..."Crap...here we go again" but it finally worked!

I keep staring at the phone....now I want to rework my layout, of course! Who needs a hobby when you have a Droid X??

The 928Droid theme is awesome! I'm sure there are tons of others that rock as well but right now I feel like a fat kid who just got the keys to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory!!
