Root [APP] universalandroot (1-Click Root)

[SlvrScoobie]

Got it working on my Droid X in one click - once i figured out how to use the file lol

So you think that having su in both places should not effect the ability to maintain root when the official froyo comes out?

 

[colchiro]

I'm guessing somehow the su in bin gets removed or disabled and the xbin su survives. OTOH, what works for the leaked version might not work for the OTA update. We'll find that out soon.

IF you have root, you could delete the bin su with Root Explorer. Just change the bin folder to R/W before deleting su and change it back when done.

Got root using this. One click root FTW - couldn't have been easier. Thanks for posting.

Needed to set up a Droid X with Wireless Tether for a project at work. This one click root app did the trick for me. Thanks!

...back to my crummy old Droid

 

[colchiro]

I requested the author of universalandroot add the droid2 method, needed to root Froyo and the ability to uninstall root, no matter which method was used to add it. We'll see what happens. He did use my suggestion to put su in xbin (instead of bin) so we'll see.

I did (Power off and then on again). No change.
I must say that when I tried to unroot again, universalandroot said I was already unrooted, but the superuser app and access to system files were still there.

Same here, anyone else having that problem?

Edit: I re-rooted, with the option of not installing superuser program, and then unrooted and the superuser.apk was gone. I am still able to access root files via astro manager, but it doesn't appear that I can install root apps.

I unrooted because I have to take my phone back to Verizon.

I am rooted using Easy Root. Is there any way I can block the official ota of 2.2?

Since this is the Droid X forum, you won't find a lot of Samsung owners in here. You may want to post a thread in the appropriate Samsung forum.

I love my HTC Inspire! It's waaaay better than the iPhone 4G that I sold on ebay. YEAH!!! If you "REALLY" want to learn to "root" read, read, read because you may cause damage to your phones if you do not know what you are doing. Those "YouTube" videos to me are "Whacked", they always seem to be showing off their cellulars new ROM, or if they are showing you how to "root" they always seem to leave out that "ONE" important note *LOL* I love these sites!!!

There's no such thing as an iPhone 4G; it's an iPhone 4 that works on 3G, not 4G.

Anyway, nice to see you're on Android now
