    How to root Droid 2 after Gingerbread OTA

    I know there's already like 5 threads saying the same thing, but I thought I might as well throw mine in since all of those threads don't have any solutions.

    I've tried this method : http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/01/how-to-root-the-droid2-droidx2-droidx-and-droid3-running-gingerbread/

    I
    tried that on my Droid 2 and it says successful rooted but when I try to use a root app it says I don't have superuser access. This method worked fine on my Droid 3.

    Do you have the Super User and busybox apps?

    I have superuser. No busybox. I uninstalled superuser though and tried the root from psouza again and it still didn't work.

    I tried the same way on my d2 but I can't do it because the 32 bit drivers do not work. 64 does but my machine is a 32.

    I just rooted my D2 Sunday with this link. Everything went smoothly and no problem. I used my laptop which is running Vista 64.
