Root [Release] Android 2.2 Froyo for the Droid X

[mazz0310]

I'm installing, am I the first?

 

[jreed2560]

so with this we just boot into recovery and flash from sd right?

 

[Airmaxx23]

So if we move the su we can apply this update.zip and keep root

I would like to know how to install this and keep root, if possible. Thanks in advance.

Its alright we all can't get there first

I'm sure I was in line before you. So why don't you run down to McDonald's and pick all up some breakfast. i'll hold your spot

This might be a long wait.

What does this mean?

3) move su to /xbin from bin .. use root explorer..

 

[Airmaxx23]

I'm done downloading, just waiting to hear how to install it and keep root.

According to the directions you will keep root, if not then just sbf back to 2.1....it's worth trying it for 2.2!

do you have it? It looks like Bird rooted it last night and it will come rooted. If not it will be in short order.

First person to get this up and running needs to post some Quadrant scores.

Use root explorer (d/l from app store) to move the su file from bin to /xbin. At least that's what I did.

So you can't use Astro? Thanks btw.

You probably can as long as you have access to system and can copy.

BTW: I'm at droid eye!!

I get a fail when I try to flash it, using bootstarp

 

[Fabolous]

my update didn't take :/

I've made a few modifications to /system though...

You're not supposed to use bootstrap, the default recovery, not koush's

 

[duffyanneal]

Update in progress.

-Patching system files

 

[maxwellimus]

Do I have to have arooted 2.1 in order to do this?

how do I get rid of it, and he just said you need to get in recovery, it shouldn't matter

How do we get to the default recovery?

 

[ooja3k]

I am getting an error during installation
assert failed


anyone else getting this?

 

[caveritt]

Getting:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper..."

I got koush's recovery but I am using the regular recovery. Any ideas?

If you didn't live in Maryland you wouldn't have any trouble.
