Easy 1-2-3 Root Process for D2 (Windows/Linux and Mac coming soon)

[darkonion]

Hi all.

I spent the better half of the evening working on writing a simplified way to root the D2. I have two sets of instructions now available. It is pretty simple.

You install and update ADB/SDK. You install the Motorola drivers (if you are on Windows).

You go into command line, run part1, then open adb shell, and run part 2, and then after you get kicked out, run the shell again, and run part 3. And that's it, you are rooted. You enter a total of maybe 6 or 7 commands, and simple commands at that.

Cruise over to XDA Developers and check out my thread.

So it took mea while but I got the SDK installed and working through terminal, im' SUPER new at this so i'm feeling my way out via youtube videos and step-by-step instructions lol.

I plug my phone in and my computer claims to not recognize my "device" is this normal?

also after running ./doroot1.sh the terminal has "device not found" all over it

Did you turn on USB Debugging?

Did you turn on USB Debugging?

haha no... my d2 shows the USB symbol in the notification bar and gives me these choices pc mode, windows media sync, usb mass storage, charge only. if there's a debug choice, where would it be?

 

[grimmy]

Settings > Applications > Development> Check the USB debugging

Ah! Thank you very much, sir.

I think I know what is wrong with your thing. Just hang tight. We are working on easier scripts!

<3 thanks darkonion. I'm really excited to get this baby rooted. I'm hoping for a really nice stock rom, or even a rom that's mostly stock with a few blur features left in it.

 

[darkonion]

I think you are in USB mass storage device mode. That is why you can't access your SD card.

 

[CrypticDroid]

You're correct. I put into charge only mode which got me further but i'm stuck again:

Hey. I am going to PM you my google talk. Add me and then come get me. Also, download team viewer. I want you to test my new something for me.
