Does the easy root work for the 2.2? i did the root test thing and it said its compatible but i read somewhere either on their website or here that its not.....
So im confused... and i dont know how to do it ><

ha sorry, putting on roms for android seems a lot more complicated compare to omnia 1 and omnia2

ehh it works but theres been a lot of problems with doing so. may i suggest link 1 or 3 in my signature. its a bit more work but youll understand what youre doing to your phone more (link 3) then if something goes wrong youll spend less time fixing it

androids apps are in the .apk format. just move to sd card, browse to it using astro (free on market) and click on it

It works did it last night and am running bugless beast v.4 right now it worked great, but this is my 2nd time trying. I had it on my phone, downloaded a patch from their site and re-forced root. It worked this time around and have had no problems since

what are the Motorola driver files?

drivers that you install on your computer so it can recognize the device

Like abe said to each his nown I know many are cautious of a one-click root app but so was I, I finally made the leap(again) and re tried it and got everything working.
This is what I did;
1. Install easy root from their website with the LATEST version
2. Open easy root go to the main page and clicked "Root Me" then reboot the phone. Meaning just turn it off then back on.
3. At this point when you go to your apps menu you should haqve the little "Ninja", this is your Superuser Permission list. Reopen easy root download Rom Manager and Busy Box.
4. Open Busy Box, allow superuser permission
5. Open Rom Manager, the first option, flash clockwork recovery, click it it will create a backup for you.
6. Scroll down to the custom roms, open it and select which one you want to run. Once it downloads open it and reboot and it should boot right to the recovery screen and takes a few minutes to download.
