Root [TUTORIAL]Simple Gingerbread .602 SBF and Root Process (Updated 9.9.11)

OK, i have just 1 question. i was able to root my X with GB. now what program do I use to wireless tether for free ?
 
Please search for that.. this is not the thread to discuss that. Not trying to be mean. Just trying to keep this stickied thread clean.
 
I did the SBF steps and have fully rebooted my phone. When I go to run "Motorolaoneclickroot" i get the error message "you are missing the ADB.EXE which was packaged with this program. Make sure to extract all files with this one root program."

I have extracted all the files from the link and clearly see the for mentioned EXE file in the list. Not sure why this is happening.

Any suggestions?
 
Try running it as administrator... I've never seen that error before but maybe by right clicking on the file and running as administrator might help... if not delete it all off your computer and then re-download it and try again... make sure you are running this on your computer too btw... had someone that tried to run the rooter on the phone... that won't work :)
 
ok so when i downloaded the files i got error messages for both RSDLite and the bootstarp that "windows can not open file...what program would you like to use...." need a fix im trying to SBF
 
I have it... GT is the same as my name here... I play for about an hour a day when the wife isn't home... I will be playing a ton on Thursday from about 7 pm est till Midnight at least.
 
I rooted my X, which I believe worked correctly. Now I'm trying to install a custom ROM; I get to Reboot Recovery, select it, then get to the menu list. I can scroll up & down, but I can't select any of the options (like "wipe data/factory reset"). The directions say to use the camera button to select, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
 
No... not at all... try to re-install the bootstrap and then reboot to recovery again... make sure you are in the recovery with like 6 options in the main menu... if it only has 4 your are in the stock recovery and thats not right...
 
I think I might have a hardware problem...

I SBF'd again, then rooted again - both seemed to work just fine. I re-installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper, and when I get to "Reboot Recovery," the phone reboots & brings up the menu with 8 options, so I think I'm in the right place. I can scroll through the options, but the camera button doesn't work to select anything.

With that said, after I SBF'd, but before I rooted, I tried to take a picture with the hard button; it didn't work. The on-screen button worked, but the physical button didn't do anything, which leads me to believe that I may have a hardware problem. Guess I might be S.O.L....

I was thinking of waiting for a while before getting a new phone, but this might have pushed me one step closer to a Galaxy Nexus!
 
I rooted awhile back, how do I tell whether I have .602 or .596? I assume it's .596 and still froyo? But I can't remember.. I know I used Z4root and I think I remember CyanogenMod7

Also, best way to back-up the phone is nandroid and backup assistant should still work. I never added a ROM, just rooted.

Thanks

Definetly sounds like you have a hardware problem. I would sbf to stock... call verizon and get a replacement phone.... just sbf and then reboot to stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset from there (power button can be used to select in stock recovery). Then send it in.

Sounds like you are on froyo if you are using Z4root to root and then install the (froyo) CM7. I recommend using Rom manager to backup your ROM. Follow my guide to sbf to Gingerbread and then install the new CM7 based on the GB kernel, or heck go to Miui... I love it. (some people don't since it looks a little like an iphone.)
 
I am a newbie , and my question is all of this need to download to my phone , and install it on the phone?
.602 SBF File
Motorola Droid X Driver
RSD Lite 5.4.4

Read the guide and the instructions.... it tells you what to do on the computer and on your phone... the only thing you need on the phone is the Droid 2 bootstrap... all the rest needs to be on the computer.
 
I also had problems with the phone not being detected with the method linked in the first post. Had to use the D3 1-click Root Method as well.
 
I followed all of the directions to the T, and have gotten to the point where I start the SBF process through RSD Lite. The status is finished and the result is "pass."

My main concern is that the guide tells me that when this SBF process is finished, the phone will power off and back on. It has not done this. It is stuck in the Bootloader. On the phone screen, it says:

Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB

What should I do?
