Do any of the apps work with it?

I had great luck with SuperOneClick.

Sent from my Droid using DroidForums App

SuperOneClick did not work for me

I just received a brand new droid as a warranty replacement and could not get this to work. It sat waiting for device and never found it.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thats because you gotta unmount your SD card first.

SD card WAS unmounted

It absolutely was not mounted.

Did you have USB debugging enabled?

Debugging enabled

Yes it was. I have had trouble with RSDlite recognizing either the old or new droid. Soup to Root had no problem when it routed 2.2 on old phone. Never tried super one click before.

Well you have to uncheck USB Debugging when you start it, then check it, then uncheck it again

I also could not get Superoneclick to work, waiting for device is what I got. I tried unmounting, mounting and all that with no luck.

I have experience rooting droid 1's all different ways...I've used Flashing sprecovery with rsdlite, Easy Root when we had 2.1, no problem, used Z4 no problem and last night I tried using superoneclickroot and never could get it to work...maybe it's finicky beast idk...but I used old faithful rsdlite...I rooted the phone in about 5 minutes.

You should try it...it's really pretty easy. I'll be glad to help you if you have problems.

I actually have the Rsdlite on my PC but honestly I got nervous and decided to wait.

nothing to be nervous about....but I'm here if you try and get stuck.

I can never get RSDLITE to detect phone

For some reason RSDlite never detects the phone. Drivers are installed and PC acknowledges that it is connected. I can access the phone from the PC, but it is never detected by RSDlite. Perhaps related to why oneclick is having problems. After I experienced this before I used soup to root and it worked fine. I am hoping they get a version soon for 2.2.1.

If anyone has experience with RSDlite not detecting devices and how to resolve I am very interested.

Thanks.

When you have your phone in the bootloader screen and plugged into the PC what does rsdlite say?

If RSDLITE shows anything on the bottom half of the screen then it has found your phone. click the button on the top right of RSD that has a lot of little dots on it....find the sbf file that you have unzipped select it then follow direction from there

No luck with RSDlite, but got superoneclick to work!

I tried RSDlite in bootloader, no luck. I tried using a different USB port on my laptop, no luck.

I tried the different port with superoneclick and it instantly found the device and seems to have rooted it fine with no problems.

In short, try a different USB port, it might work for those with problems. Perhaps I have a touchy cable or something. Interesting that superoneclick worked but still no luck with RSDlite, but who cares!

Glad you got it rooted , the reason I was asking what it says is...the first time I used it I thought it wouldn't find my phone either because it really didn't say anything on the bottom besides...connecting....? i think, so I jsut went ahead and loaded up the .sbf file and it took it...anyway glad you got it running!!!

I will have to try a different port and see if I can get superoneclick to work.

You need RSD Lite 4.6 and up to work with the Droid 1.

That is what I am running

RSD Lite v4.6 Mult-Flash / Multi-Flex
