Root [Release] Android 2.2 Froyo for the Droid X

[user53]

I am rooted but there is no su file in either system/xbin or bin?????????????????

 

[Fabolous]

Here's how I got it working with root in 2.2

1. Flash the .SBF to make /system stock
2. use universalandroot found here:

3. moved /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su
4. reboot into stock recovery
5. apply the update.zip

6. Froyo w/ root

It says your update.zip is only 27mb?

shouldn't it be 70m? Is this zip zipped again maybe?

Its bad you need to re up it

Nope, the update.zip is not valid...

Thank you, I did that for the most part, but I'm going to try again.

Does anyone know what the proper update.zip file size is? I got one from MegaUpload mirror - 69mb and the link in the OP - about 28mb

 

[BuTbKa]

Guys, do you mind explain 1-6 in details?

 

[pjsockett]

Can someone please copy their system/bin/logwrapper file so we can use this without having to sbf

The androidoverdrive link is too small and is invalid...

Those with logwrapper problems. You don't need to reflash.

You need to connect via adb and remount your system folder with rw permission.

Go to /system/bin

remove the hijack link to logwrapper and rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper.

I was extra safe and made a backup of hijack, logwrapper, and logwrapper.bin. Then I:
rm logwrapper
cp logwrapper.bin logwrapper

Then exit adb.

Currently flashing now.

Yes, that would be nice....

 

[Breukdance]

drhill can I do this using root explorer also?

 

[D13]

why did you root it after flashing the sbf?

So you can have root after 2.2

I will get the OP straightened out ASAP

 

[Fabolous]

do you mind if I put it in the op

Not at all. Go ahead, especially if it will help people!

Made changes with root explorer and Flashing now. Thanks for the tip

Could you please give all of the command lines to do this? Thank you.

MD5 Hash for the correct update.zip file?

 

[D13]

Removed link


On a side note I moved su to xbin and flashed fine

I have the su apk but when I open up root explorer it doesn't ask me for permission

Can you explain to me how you did it in Root Explorer. I'm just making sure I am doing it correctly
