Thanks! I'm looking around locally, I might have a deal with a guy for $100 and I'm going to talk him down (because I'm a master ;)).

Good luck with that hope you land yourself a Droid. Finally fixed mine, had to flash FRG22D update and then re-root. All is fine now, when I tried your 1.0.8(at least I think not sure...) I would get to the command prompt and toward the end it would have problems with some rageagaienstthecage stuff. I just rooted it the normal way because I wanted my backups back.

Droid 2.2 FRG22D

worked on the THIRD try, but only AFTER I noticed a comment in this thread, keep the focus on the CMD and did so. Up to that point it errored out constantly.

Keep your mouse on the task at hand. :)
 
Glad to hear you guys are rooting well! Which versions are you using? I'm trying to push people onto the new 2.05 as much as possible, it seems really stable compared to the other versions :)
 
I downloaded the Motorola drivers onto my PC and tried again.


FLAWLESS!!

Thanks for developing this app! It seem's to work perfectly!

V. 2.05
 
I was able to Root using 1.8rA. I had to run Soup or Root 3 times to finally get it to work. I don't know if this mattered or not, but on the first 2 tries I saw that the Droid was getting re-mounted after the reboot but before the process was complete. I forgot I had an auto mount app on the Droid. On the 3rd and successful attempt, I had disabled the auto mount. I was thinking this may have the problem, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for your work.
 
First off, RDK you are pretty awesome!

I have tried 4 times to no avail, 5th time worked. First try was with 1.8rA. I don't remember the error, sorry. Next 3 tries were with the 2.04Beta and every one had the error "The process adb.exe not found." During the 5th attempt I got the same error on the first command, so I pushed the software in the background and started installing the android SDK. After awhile the beta hijacked the android sdk updater causing it to crash, but when my phone rebooted it had root! go figure.

System: Win 7 x64, Moto software already installed, PDAnet installed but not running, Droid 2.2 FRG22.

Note: It is not deleting the C:\souproot folder upon completion.

Keep up the good work!
 
Tried using 2.06 beta, but the app seemed to hang. I closed it (using the notification area "Exit" option), then tried 1.8rA. Worked like a charm.

Great job RDKamikaze!

Edit: Donated. I suggest everyone else donate too!
 
i TRIED IT, IT DIDNT work when i hit install drivers from within the app, so I installed it from this post and ran 2.04 and it worked flawless.
 
Ok--so I've finally decided to take the plung!! I downloaded 2.06 beta and ran it. How do I know if it worked? I got a message at the end that said "If you don't see Superuser in your app drawer try running soup or root again." Well, I see Superuser in the app drawer, but I had it there before I did this.

Other then that I think it worked. Any suggestions...

:-edit-: I am ROOTED!! WOOHOO....
 
I'm new to all this ROOTING, i've done Jailbreaking and unlocking on the iPhone 3G. I have a DROID X From Verizon does this root process work with that phone? I have a WINDOWS 7 32 bit machine at home.
 
I followed the instructions to the 2.06 and nothing happened. I tried it several times. It ended by saying if super user permissions was not in the app tray to try again. When it says that does it mean the program is done and does the phone re-boot by itself? Mine never did and I restarted myself. Any advice for me? Thanks
 
Sorry about 2.06 not having any sort of status bars or anything guys, I still have yet to figure out how to implement that with the new way of doing things. Next release should have a status bar or something, but when it "hangs" it's actually doing something, just sit tight for about 3 minutes until it completes! :D

P.S. Thanks to all those who have been donating, you rock my socks!!! :D :D

I ran into the same problem last night running 2.04. I thought I was rooted, but when I opened Titanium Backup, it said I was not rooted. Re-ran this afternoon after turning off Auto Mount and worked like a charm!!

Now I am running a backup and will move on to other fun stuff. ;)

Thanks so much for the process.
 
Awesome program. Worked like a charm. I used 2.0.6 but I also had to manually install the drivers from the original post. Install drivers from within the program didn't work for me. Small little thing but awesome nonetheless! Thanks!
 
I'm glad you guys are liking my program, thanks for being so awesome and donating as well!!! :D :D

Any suggestions for future releases?
 
Omigosh omigosh omigosh I make viruses....not!!! Every time I run my program to even test on my computer, Kaspersky says it's a potential threat, NOT a virus.

The program is gaining access into the phone to do things that the computer (and A/V) traditionally do not do. What would you do if someone you didn't know came to your door saying they were going to work on your car? Potential threat? ;)

If it was a virus, someone would have said something by now over 10,000 views (and hundreds of runs) after this was released :)
 
I maybe a missing something here. I've read this forum and a couple others trying to make sure I do this right and I think I still failed. I used 2.06 and that worked. But when I went to use RSD Light to install SPRecovery, I bricked my phone. Am I doing something wrong here? Any help would be great. Thanks!!!

If it makes you feel any better, I use an https://www.ironkey.com/ and every time I open the secure connections (read the website to understand if you have to), I get a potential thread warning. It is because it is using a secured, encrypted proxy, onion router to connect to the web. This activity throws up a red flag because some proxies are not exactly secure.

So, this is expected from time to time and I wouldn't worry about it too much for this program.

1. I recommend using ROM Manager (it's free) from the marketplace to install ClockworkMod Recovery or SPRecovery (it's at the bottom in the app) because it won't mess up.
2. Did you really brick your phone or you just think you bricked it? As long as you can get back to the bootloader menu, you never bricked your phone.
3. If you don't want to hassle with it, I'll totally buy it from you!!! :D :D :D I need a new Droid! :D
4. I'm glad to hear you rooted fine, but sorry to hear RSD Lite messed up. :( :(
 
Well, I may have good news for you if you are in the market for a Droid. I have two of them to play with. Perhaps we can work something out. PM me and we can talk.
