its adb maybe thats y?

and saaggs, please make your own thread, thread-jacking is frowned upon here

what do you mean its adb? so i have to find another way to root my phone?

*remember I am running 2.2 on this phone now.
- so possibly is this form of root not going to work?

Okay, let's do it - type the blue parts in Terminal Emulator

1. cd /tmp
2. cp /sdcard/download/rage*.bin /tmp/
3. chmod 777 rage*.bin
4. ./rage*.bin
   This will take some time, just wait for the $ to show up so you know it is done.
5. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Terminal Emulator > and Force Stop the application
6. Sanity check - Go into Terminal Emulator again and make sure you have a # symbol as a prompt. If so you are ready to proceed.
7. mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
8. cp /sdcard/download/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
9. cp /sdcard/download/su /system/bin/su
10. cp /sdcard/download/busybox /system/bin/busybox
11. chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
12. chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
13. mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
14. exit

Completed step 4, I waited then it said searching for adb, then said adb not found... I REALLY WISH I HAD SCREEN SHOTS to show you

edit:tried again and heres what the emulator gave me
[*]CVE-2010 Easy Android local root exploit (C) 2010 by 743C
[*] checking NPROC limit..
[+] RLIMIT_NPROC={3815, 3815}
[*] Searching for adb
[-] Cannot find adb: No such file or directory

[Abe21599]

just restarted the phone

now the emulator stops me at step 2.

cp: /sdcard/downloads/rage*.bin: no such file or directory

There are two folders on my Droid 1 -- a download folder and a downloads folder. Everything I download goes to the download folder, leaving the downloads folder empty. Is the same true on the X?

me and you in same boat. i'm thinking about factory reseting my phone. seeing if that'll do the trick

 

[Clayin]

You can try but I literally just finished a reset less than 30min ago... :/
