Root [Q] Problem re rooting Droid X

[paxderomano]

Hope someone can help me with this problem. So my phone was rooted a while ago (I don't remember the method I used) and I installed the OTA update from early December no problem but lost root in the process.

Since then my phones been having a pain in the ass rebooting issue everyday. It'll constantly reboot for no reason. I had read somewhere that rerooting the phone will solve this.

So I downloaded Z4 and was able to install it. But every time I try to root my phone using Z4 the program will run for a while and then freeze my phone entirely forcing me to remove the battery to reboot it.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I already tried making sure the phone was in debugging mode as I had read some peoples posts saying it didn't work for them otherwise. Any help would be appreciated, all these random reboots are driving me crazy.

I did the update SBF last night, lost root, then ran the same program, it just takes AWHILE! lol

I did the Permanent root btw. It works, just takes awhile, you cant run anything else while its going.

I found a thread on xda dev forum related to this. It has to do with the old superuser file not being compatible with z4. If anyone else has this problem the fix is here.

It might be worthwhile to do a Factory Reset. There's a thread here on how best to do it.
