I wanna learn how to root and all that but i dont want to mess up my new droidx. Any tips or useful info appreciated
 
well what would you use the rooted droid for?

no sense in spending money in something you won't use
 
why do you want to root?

there isnt really "learning to root" you just follow some instructions and it is done in 5 minutes. you don't need any training or any skills and you cannot use anything you learn later in life.

those that have rooted:
1. wanted to root
2. followed the simple instructions provided by someone that knew what they were doing
3. were successful in following the instructions

If I'm not mistaken the Droid X has an app that is one button, you push the button and your Droid X is rooted.
It was removed from the market today and I know it is easy but im just worried about screwing up my phone because im not a tech genius
 
Thats one reason for rooting, yes. BUT the DX has an encrypted bootloader (as will the D2). That encryption has yet to be broken and prevents anything not signed by Motorola from running on the phone (as part of the boot process I mean... obviously apps aren't part of this), meaning... no custom ROMs on the DX. However, you can uninstall the crapware apps if you want and I believe overclocking will work though I don't know that for sure.
 
Eh, determined people are working on it and the source code was released recently too. It will eventually be broken. The question is... when :P

that is like me saying my new ATV is sweet, but I am not taking responsibility for dirt! I assure you, no body is going to take responsibility if you wreck your X...they will help you wreck it though! Use at your own risk...
