I'm with you! This is opening up a whole new can of worms. It will be nice to get rid of the Bloatware.

very true...I'm sure we will have video tutorials soon I just need to know the steps as far as setting up ADB and all that

What is ADB? I haven't figured that one out yet.

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

I will be working on this as soon as I get home this afternoon. Great news for all the people that said it couldn't be rooted or wouldn't be for a long time.

Also, I'm not 100% sure on this but I believe ADB just allows shell access to android devices. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Helicrewchief]

Found it. I think I found it anyways.

Android Debug Bridge | Android Developers

Looks like we're going to need a subforum for all things rooted soon .

 

[SacNutz]

Yeah you guys are on the right track with ADB. If you look at the all things rooted section in the original Droid forum you can find a lot of good info about ADB etc.

Great job! Now for a total new Android noob......I just need to figure out what that gets me, lol.

I know you can get rid of Bloatware, add custom roms, and unlock the wifi hotspot feature. Basically it gives you complete control over your phone.

No custom ROMs.

EDIT: Yet.

 

[mazz0310]

I'm having trouble finding some of the bloatware, anyone know the filename 3g hotspot, corp directory?

Well almost. We can't get custom ROMS quite yet. That's another huge step because we have to battle the bootloader. But getting root is substantial progress in the right direction.

I can't find 3g hotspot, corp directory, emergency, kindle, or my verizon. So far I'm not doing well lol

 

[PerCompLLC]

SWEET! And quicker then expected! Tomorrow will be a GOOD day cause my Droid X arrives and we have root!

 

[mazz0310]

Haha, same, i just figured the 2 i said was a start. I haven't yet found those either. And I'm afraid to delete the wrong thigns.
