I have searched everywhere to find how to root my d2 on 2.3.20 but got nothing besides superoneclick which gets stuck on "waiting for device". I got my d2 recently and I am coming from a rooted D1.

Sorry if this is a repost.

You sure your phone has USB Debugging enabled?

Yeah, my phone is also on charge only when connected to pc but I tried the other settings and same thing happens. On my D1 I could select unmount sd from notification bar but I can't do that on D2 for some reason, which could be the problem.

yes you are done. the app will only show when a root app has certain permissions. download a root app, give it permissions, and itll show up there.
