Any way to hack/mod/root the Moto Citrus?

I came here looking to see what I can do to get to 2.2 Froyo and with the Google apps instead of the cheesy Bing crap. I got this phone for my kid for Christmas and now I regret it because of 2.1 only and no native Google apps.

I have rooted my own Droid and have run different mods/roms (Cyanogenmod) and stuff so I am have a bit of knowledge, but there doesn't seem to be any modding info out there yet for this device.

Do you think it can at least be rooted?

 

Good stuff. I'm going to give it a shot and I'll post back to let you all know how it went.

Thanks bro!

 

I tried with the SuperOneClick and it was a no-go. It kept getting hung up at the "Waiting for Device" and the little trick they had on the site did not work to get it going again. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

 

Yeah, I restarted several times, uninstalled/reinstalled the program, driver, etc. I think my problem is with the device software that comes with the driver. I cannot install the phone driver without it getting in there as well. Is there any way to install the driver without the sync software? Also, I know USB Debugging needs to be enabled but what USB mode should the phone be in? There are 4 options when I select USB when the phone is plugged in. It has "mount USB", and 3 more I can't remember right now. I don't have access to the device till tomorrow.

 

That is awesome, thanks a ton.
I am so glad I am still subscribed to this thread/forum. I had forgotten that I made this post it has been so long. It comes at a great tome too. I will be upgrading my daughter to something else soon and I wanted to give my wife the citrus. Now I can wipe it and play with it all I want without fear of something going wrong.
