    Is it possible for me to root my droid x on the device itself? I do not have access to a computer.

    Unfortunately, no. Unless you try the maderstcok file, or one of the TBH files found in their app.

    That is a shame. I would think there would be a big calling for a simple rooting app for the droids.

    I recall people going into stores doing just that to D1s. Within a few minutes they'd have the phone rooted and running some other rom.

    That is what I want to do with my X. I just want to install an app and have my phone rooted with one click.

    Will this work on my incredible 2 with gb? I don't want bloatware either.

    Try to do a factory reset. Hold volume down while pressing the power button. Keep holding till the screen comes up.
