[Droid X General] infazzdar:
This does not work with Droid X System Version .621.

NOTE: If you were rooted on the original OTA and took the update to .602 and lost root, read the 'Droid X' notes under the how-to.

How to: One Click Root for Windows 7/Vista

1. Your phone must be connected via USB data cable to your computer and be recognized.

2. If your phone is connected, but not recognized, you may need to install one of these software drivers:

-Windows universal 32-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0

-Windows universal 64-bit Motorola drivers version 5.2.0

3. Download this one-click root package: PetesMotorolaRootTools_v1.08.zip

4. Extract the contents of the one-click root package to a new folder on your computer.

5. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device. This should be under Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging.

6. From the new folder on your computer, double-click on Pete's_Motrola_Root_Tools.exe to begin the root process.

7. Click 'Root My Phone'.

Droid X Notes

Your phone may need to be in either charging mode or PC mode or you may need to toggle it a number of times for the device to recognized correctly.

If you are trying to root from the OTA Gingerbread update and you were previously rooted, you will probably experience problems with this root method because of the pre-existence of busybox and superuser.apk. For that reason, you may need to attempt both the script method (for Windows XP users) and program executable method (Windows Vista/7 users). If you are still having problems, please follow these instructions:

Open a Command Prompt in the folder where you extracted the one-click root package (see instructions for rooting). If you are using Windows 7, you can just use Shift+Right-Click on the folder you extracted the package and choose to "Open a command prompt here". For other operating systems or versions of Windows, you may require some DOS experience or need to Google how to change directories.

In the command prompt, type the following command:

If you receive any kind of error, then you may not be in the folder where you extracted ADB.exe or you may need to reboot your computer, your phone, or check the connection. You should receive an ADB prompt ending with either a # or a $.

If the line ends with a $, then run the one-click exploit for Windows XP (even if you have Windows Vista or 7) and only complete step 1.

When you have adb shell ending with a #, type the following commands:

Ignore any messages that warn you about the file not being found/missing. We're removing old copies of su/superuser which are causing this one-click root method to fail.

Additionally, during the parts of the one-click root that reboot your phone, your phone will most likely reboot into recovery instead of into the standard Android lock screen. If this is the case, simply unplug the cable and reboot the phone manually. When you are finished rebooting, plug the phone back in again. Some people have had to reboot their PC too.

Finally, some users have mentioned that the root isn't taking affect right away for all apps. Eventually, after several reboots, the phone finally takes root. We're not sure why this is (I don't have a Droid X -- I'm just re-posting this information for brevity).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the Windows Vista/7 method first! It will work better for most Windows XP users.

Only use this method if the other has not worked yet.
