[Motorola Droid X2] griz.droidx:
Hey there Shadow, I hope you see this. You and your files have been a huge help to me. My S3's screen digitizer failed, and after taking it apart and restoring the original files with odin/heimdall I've decided to use an x2 I bought for $20 bucks about 4 years ago mainly for the sd card and to use it for a remote control/music player.

Since I have to now use it for a phone, I've tried multiple rom's again. Trying to find the best combination of updated android/features and speed/functionality. I've used everything as of late, except eclipse because I've had trouble getting the 2.3.5 update to take, and the rom itself to take after the update. That's a topic for another day, I've used eclipse before but not lately.

Here's my question, sorry for the delay in getting to it. I've installed the JB version of AOKP. AOKP build 6 I think it is. I was going to apply the 2.46 su zip before rebooting but forgot. I did install the ReRecovery zip for cm7 but can't get back into recovery at all. I've done the battery pull, and plug into a charge to no avail. It simply goes into charge mode. I have the hijack boot zip on my sd but can't copy it to system/etc (I think that's where it goes), so I can't get into recovery that way. I believe if I could get my phone rooted, I could get it to go into recovery via the hijack boot zip.

Do you know a way I could get it rooted? I'm about to try a script from the EzSBF That I've extracted and put in my Download folder in Linux. I usually just run the sbf script from Linux when I want to sbf instead of booting a live linux cd. I have never used adb (I should've learned) because I've never had the need. Is there a way to use adb to push the files needed or to install the su zip? I've also tried installing this zip from the built in recovery to no avail.

Also, I use selectel a MVNO that uses Verizon and regional Verizon compatible CDMA towers. Back when I had my DX, if I had to sbf, sometimes I'd have to re-activate. If I had to re-activate, I'd have to drive 40 minutes away to get to a real verizon tower to activate. As the regional carrier wouldn't never activate via *228. I'm afraid if I SBF, I may have to re-activate. Right now, my ride is broke down, so I can't actually drive the 40 minutes to activate. Any other time I'd SBF and be done with it. But not this time. Again, if I can get root on this rom, I'm certain the hijack zip will let me get to cwm. I used the Hijack zip when I was on CM10 A3 but that rom was a bit too slow for me. I went back to CM7 which is faster, and everything works, but a lot of apps require 4.0 or greater to function. One example is Zen Pinball, not necessary but I did pay for a table. There are countless other examples. And I can almost never get the play store to function correctly on CM7 without erroring out. When this happens I uninstall the play store, and sometimes google play services and just use the old market app to search for what I want to install. Are there any root apps you can think of that might work? Or scripts? Or do you know whether or not I'll have to re-activate if I SBF?

Thanks for any input.

And thanks again for your repository of DX/DX2 apps / roms. I do wish you had some eclipse / molten themes in that repo but I realize most all links for those are down.
