Droid X 2.2 Rooted using Droid 2 root method

[avt123]

Any way to use terminal emulator for this like there was for 2.1 root?

How long did you guys wait when you ran

./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

before it kicked you out?
Its been 15 mins at least...

OK after a lot of trial and error I got my phone rooted =)

same here, had to do as mentioned and leave on the 'media' mode.

awesome to have root again!!

So I was running 2.3.13 and screwed the pooch trying to eff with a system file. Boot loop. Flashed SBF. Factory reset. Went back to Froyo.

Now I have lost root and I can't get this to work. I have followed these directions with success twice in the past so I don't know what they deal is. I let it run all the way out. Takes way longer than it usually does, and then I go back and still have the $ prompt. Any ideas what the problem is?

I'm also having some issues... I don't have permission to either view nor write anything to my /data folder.... so writing /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you enable USB debugging?

 

[shadowx582]

yep, and just checked pdanet which also requires usb debugging and it works fine but when I try to push anything to /data I don't have permission. Tried better terminal too just because it was suggested somewhere and it didn't work either.

figured it out. Turns out my adb driver would recognize my phone for a little while then cut off. Eventually ended up using media sharing mode but hey, whatever works right.

Now I got it rooted with 2.2 and messing with Flyx abit. Thanks for the help

Please help a noob. I tried rooting my X 2.2 using this method but it's not working. When I run the doroot.bat file, the windows command prompt says "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." But it also says at the end "Congratulations, you should now be rooted. No Errors" After rebooting, I still don't see the superuser apk in my toolbox.

I extracted the zip file and moved the contents to the tools folder of the android-sdk_r07-windows file. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help!

Take a look at the sdk setup guide, you skipped the part where you need to place the ENVIRONMENT PATH$ variable to point where you have the android sdk tools/ located. That way, the batch file can call ADB.EXE from anywhere.

The same issue was happening to me. But after reading Daali's post (Thanks) I figured it out. What you need to do is right-click my computer and go to Properties. Then click Advanced system settings and under the Advanced tab click on Enviroment Variables... Under System variables look for Path and click Edit... Now at the end of the Variable value: add the ; plus the path of where you have your Android SDK located (Mine was C:\android-sdk-windows\tools) then click OK. After that run "doroot", wait a few minutes and you're all set to go. I am now rooted like the others with OTA 2.2. :icon_ banana:

i followed directions to the t. i see the superuser app but it opens and there is nothing inside. i tried the hotspot feature and it worked? rooted? oh, maybe I should have downloaded it before rooting?
