Root Can't root 2.2.3 with SuperOneClick?

[boscoboy911]

I could not get 1,7 to work at all,after a few tests I went right to Motorola site downloaded the A855 usb drivers and 1.7 processed in less than a minute. Somehow my drivers were corrupted prior to the update.

Are these instructions for manual rooting likely to work for newer Droid builds? My build is labelled FRK76. Thanks.

Yes. There are two 'manual' methods that will still work for the A855 with your build. IMHO that would be the best way to go, that way if there is a problem, you know exactly at which step it failed which is much easier to troubleshoot, providing you give enough details about what, when and where.

I would link you to the two, but it's easier for me to refer you to my guides (in my sig), they have the links as well.

good luck

Your sig isn't showing in this thread, the post below does have them.

I downloaded SOC but it always says waiting for device. Please help.

I found that using Superoneclick v1.7 works when you use the rageagainstthecage method. This was the latest version I found that included this method; it has been removed in later versions.

This is the SOC 1.7 that I was using but, it gets stuck at the waiting for device and the program locks up.

On your phone go:

menu -> settings -> applications -> developem ent -> usb debugging checked

That should fix you up.

good luck

No luck, I already had the debugging on. But it still gets stuck on the waiting for device.

Do you have the drivers installed on your computer?

Or you could just root the manual way as mentioned a few times in this thread.

does it work on a samsung intercept with android version 2.2.3 and a locked bootloader? it just sits there and says "running chmod rageagainstthecage..."

Thanks Zandroidx, the link worked great and I am back to root. I used psneuter first and didnt work. was working got stuck in loop connection and i disabled usb bugging on second try in the middle of process when it got stuck. completed process but no root. I next tried the rage against the cage link. This worked great if you get stuck on a command after it starts keep the usb debugging box open and checked to start and uncheck the box if needed during root if same commands keep showing on screen saying no access. I had to extract the files to start and used the superoneclick icon and the rageagainstcage exploit on the right side on the app. All goes well.
Thanks again.........

i know this is an old thread, but if anyone is able to, can you tell me if i have to have an unlocked bootloader, and if so, how to do so? and this is the OTA 2.2.3. ive tried so many one click roots that either say it worked and they dont or just sit there, like this one does, and ive also tried to manually push with the psneuter method, and it just says access denied for the "./psneuter" and ive tried to use the "fastboot reboot" function to test the connection, and that says access denied as well....

isavegas,

I see you've found the Sprint Intercept root area and it looks like a kind member has helped you out over there.

Good luck and cheers!

My phone updated to 2.2.3. I just re-rooted my Droid 1 using SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse RageAgainstheMachine option. It took several attempts, but it is working fully. I have tried both Barnacle and Wireless Tether. I was able to connect to my Droid 1 with my Samsung tab that is all rooted using Zroot. Hope this helps someone.
