Rooting

[polecats03]

I am no cell phone or computer expert and I was wondering how hard or difficult it was to root my droid x. I read some articles and how to things but the simple word "bricked" scares me.

to the Forum. Do you mind if I ask why you want to root?

Rooting itself carries little risk of bricking your phone. Its what you do after you root that can causee issues. Check the "multiple phones root them unroot them" link in my sig for instructions to see how complicated the process is and if you think you could handle it.

z4root seems to be the one tap choice. I rooted a while back, EZRoot or something like that.
After you root, and you want to do some of the 'root only' things, pay exact attention to the install steps. I'm no droid expert, and probably couldn't help you if you got stuck, but I've seen it over and over again. User complains that an install screwed up their phone. When the folks try to help them, it comes up that one or two steps were overlooked or ignored.
Rooting will void your warranty.

Z4root recently got pulled from the marketplace and the only one that's left is the non english one. Not sure if that one works.

Im scared to risk bricking the phone. I guess the standard rom n theme is okay.

Do not use the non English version of z4Root. Too many problems.

That's what I thought.

Well I guess that made up my mind about rooting...for now.
