im assuming the "apps drawer" would mean opening apps from my home screen. if not , where is the apps drawer please. where exactly is the "settings" option for superuser?

since this "root" , i obviously can't download apps. what other causes or settings would cause my droid to show the progress bar with the phrase ; "waiting for wifi" ; infinetely running with no progress in the download.

yes the app drawer is where all your apps are
you don't need to do anything with superuser, those directions are to verify root program worked
also can check with any app that requires root, like titanium, root basic...

try selecting forget wifi connection
reboot
wipe cache
reboot
retry wifi

[ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click .apk to root
I have verified it works with these Motorola devices running android 2.3.4
Droid 2 (a955), Droid 2 Global (a956), R2D2 (a957), & Droid X (MB810)

just download, allow unknown sources, install, open, select top root method (Gimli), reboot phone, done, no pc needed

Thanks a lot for helping. I just installed liquid ICS.
I did a nandroid backup and also backed up my application and contacts.

How can I restore my app and contacts?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have backed up using the Titanium.
reinstall titanium backup from play store, then do a batch restore of missing user app, with titanium.
Not sure about contacts, I always sync contacts to google account.
