+1 on aroot. aroot will not work if you don't have the latest USB drivers installed from Motorola. Once the updated drivers are installed aroot works fine.
New Update and want to ROOT. . .
- Thread starter Ride
- Start date
That is my confusion. I downloaded the latest drivers from the link provided. I assume that is the package called "Motorola 4.9.0 Driver with Motohelper". I plugged in the phone and ran aRoot several times, but to no avail. Is there a specific usb connection mode that you used? Did I download the wrong driver package?
Ok, I am rooted! There was an odd error while installing the drivers that I didn't pick up the first time. Aroot worked like a champ. Thanks for your guys patience! Haven't used a windows box in years.

Superoneclick worked great for me...aroot not so much even after several attempts. I had superuser icon after the reboot but actual superuser access was not obtained. Luckily superoneclick worked great. I just got my DROID pro yesterday and I absolutely love it. I have had a DROID 1 and a DROID 2 both rooted and even without a huge development community behind the DROID pro it works great stock with root of course. Im looking forward to exploring my new pro.

I used superoneclick 1.9. Easy as cake to root. He makes it very easy to root and if you dont have the latest motorola drivers you can download 1.9 with the drivers. Just google superoneclick and make your life easier.

Question, why do you need to unmount the SD card when rooting?
Im on another droid forum but the Pro secton is basically dead. I was pointed here by bsweetness
Ive updated my drivers from the Moto site and tried installing Aroot. It says that it worked, and my phone restarts, but upon reboot i do not have a SU icon. I try to run barnacle and it also says that i still need SU access.

Glad you got it working. It appears that it takes a few tries for some people and not for others. Don't know why.
And yes, you'll definitely get more information and quicker assistance in this forum than in that one.

They are becoming more watchful of it, yes.
