[Motorola Droid X2] mnkurk1989:
Droid X2 owners i have figured out how to root the new 2.3.5/1.3.418 update. I spent a couple hours trying to get this figured out. Its simple and very easy to do well may not be for some but here you go just follow these simple steps and all that trouble that everybody is having.... here is the solution! First off do a hard reset from phones setting under privacy make sure to copy and paste pictures, music etc. to your computer cause you will have to check internal storage to be deleted for this to work ..after the reset u are going to sbf back to original 2.3.4 with (RSD Lite) Remember it has to be done in this order just take my word for it ...when finished.. phone will reboot let all factory apps download and install including gmail,

vz navigator, google books etc. You will not have to keep these apps you just have to let them install for this update after you sbf 2.3.4 and back to original. When your done with sbf file and have re-activated phone added google account etc... Get (Petes Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip) no other rooting methods worked ive tryed it.. type that into google search it should find his site.. and make sure to download (Windows Universal drivers) for computer depending on what you have 32 bit operating system or 64 bit.. both of these files can be found on petes site. After downloading drivers and zip file..... unzip petes zip and click on (petes motorola root tools). I had one issue with this when trying to root device i had to put phone into pc mode for some reason. And if still having issues try running the adb temp rooting procedure this seems to work everytime. Run rooting method till done then u should be rooted after this is done dont mess with SU leave it as is for now.... Now you are going to want to head to the the google market on your phone and type (ota rootkeeper) and download that app. After this is done you can go to that app and and press protect root it should say something like su safe or something like that at the bottom after u have pressed it. Now when u are sure u have all these done correctly go to your phone settings and go to about phone and press on system update and download and install the OTA update 1.3.418 to your phone. It will reboot and and install update after this is done let phone load back up and do what it needs to do. Now go back to google market and install (ota rootkeeper) again and you should get only one option and that is to restore root.. press that and there you have it. Now you can update SU, remove unwanted apps, etc.. Do whatever you please. This update has caused so many droid x2 owners to get very ticked off but luckily i found the solution to all the problems. If anybody is having any issues trying to get this done leave posts and messages i will help you out as much as i can. This process went really smooth you should have no issues at all. And if ur wondering about 2.3.5/1.3.418 update it is definitely snappier with and even more snappier with bloatware apps removed. Install the droid X2 bootstrap manager just like u always would. Dont hesitate to leave questions i will try to get back to them as soon as i can. HAVE FUN ROOTING> 2.3.5 And by the way for the people wondering I run this all on stock rom I dont use eclipse, affinity , etc or any other custom rom this is all straight stock rom
