Which tool were you using? Which guide were you following?

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Droid Forums

the guide i was using was the very first one on the bionic hacks that was stickied how to root your motorola droid bionic. and the tool was motorola one click root.

You have to use Motofail now... google it, and I'll go looking for a link as well. Will report back if you don't find it first.

i found it thank you so much! retrying the root now as we speak

 

[kstaley2411]

now it is just sitting at waiting for device. i have it set on charge only and have usb debugging allowed.

 

[kstaley2411]

also have tried plugging it and re plugging it back in a couple of times now.

The last time I saw someone deal with that it was an issue of not having the latest drivers. Where did you get the drivers from?

 

[kstaley2411]

USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA

where that link you sent me earlier sent me too

So in the first root method you tried, that didn't work, it recognized your device it sounds like? Is that right?

 

[kstaley2411]

yeah the first method i tried it recoginzed it and even started to root process. it even said it was rooted successfully but when i went to use my phone after it it was not rooted.

 

[jntdroid]

Try unplugging everything, then do ctrl+alt+del, go to processes, and if you see "adb.exe" running, end it. Then try again

also make sure it's not something simple, like the first method disabling usb debugging or something along those lines...
