How to root Droid 1?

[BoltFan]

Can anyone please give me a tutorial or explain to me how I should properly root my Droid 1 phone? I looked online and I found like 10 ways to do it, each of them different. One said to use the Android SDK, one said to use a simple App, and one wouldn't give me the info unless I signed up for their forum.

Here's the best set of instructions. There's no longer a app that can do it. It may sound like a lot of steps but it's really easy to do.

Thank you!! How do I find the bit version for my phone? I have no idea if my phone is a 32- or 64-bit phone.

The bit version isn't for the phone but for the computer you're using to root the phone with. I would say that your computer is most likely a 32 bit.

Ah, that makes more sense! Thanks!! I can't wait to root my phone so I can get rid of all this bloat!

Are the Drivers needed? The driver links in that link you gave no longer work and don't go to the driver download page.

This page might help for drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/product_page/faqs/p/30,6720,7155

To find what bit version your pc is, right click My Computer & select Properties. It'll be under System

Thank you for the link! And I knew how to find the bit version for my pc, I thought that I needed to find the bit version of my phone. That's why I asked.

I went to that website, but I can't seem to find the Driver download. I'm still looking though.

I looked through the files I had for my D1 & found this driver, Motorola_Consumer_Driver_Installation_MotoConnect_1.1.16_32_bit_4.2.0. Here it is, if you want it: https://app.box.com/s/icfafqj9syjlp8stt8wh
Also check this members signatures under the About Me tab here: teddyearp Click the 'Motorola Droid files', scroll down to the 'M's, he has a driver similar to the one I posted plus another driver. Maybe that'll help
