About LinkBacksHey guys, just got my Droid X and I am really big into PC's etc. I tried rooting my phone 2 times already and neither way has worked for me. I tried the 1 click z4root the first time then tried a second way using Terminal Emulator and typing some commands. But it seems to freeze up on me both ways. I have the 2.3.3 version and need some help please guys of what I should do etc.
Regards,
Richie Cropper

07-15-2011 03:53 PMIf I'm not mistaken, z4root doesn't work with 2.3.3 gingerbread. I think he/she will need to sbf back to froyo and then use z4root to obtain root access.

07-15-2011 03:54 PMThat's what I have been finding when I was reading a bit. Yeah I tried z4 more than a handful of times and nothin ever worked. It installed rageagainstthecage but I never got anything saying that it was succesful.
