cant root gingerbread on droid r2d2

[xxerikdlcxx]

Hi Im trying to root the gingerbread ota update on my r2d2 Ive tried gingerbreak and after 20 minutes nothing was happening so i cancelled it. I also tried the droid 3 one click root on my computer but the program wont recognize my phone. Any help would really be appreciated I miss being rooted, thanks

The droid 3 one click is the best. Make sure the phone is charge only and make sure the non market apps is checked and also the usb debugging. Takes no time at all. Just reboot after.

I tried that had my phone on charge only usb debuging on and non market apps on but the command promp window that opened just says "searching for the phone (connect it now if you haven't yet)

I would do those things and then run that program. Don't run as admin. Just doubleclick and then ok. That should work.

Ok here is something that you could try. Sbf it to non r2d2 for d2 and then update and root from there. I have never done that with the d2. But that could be an option. You might want to check xda or some sight like that to be sure it would work. My understganding is that it should but like I said I have never done it. Once you do that you should be good. I can't think of anything else. I take no responsibilty if that doesn't work or worse.

Well I don't want to lose all of the star wars stuff if so that wouldn't be an option for me. Thanks for trying to help though

Well in that case bi would search xda and see if there is something there. You may get lucky.

when I plug my phone in it connects and lets me go through my memory card in usb storage mode so I think i have the drivers. Is there a way to check if I have all the drivers?
