Rooting OTA

[BulletSponge62485]

Is it possible for me to root my droid x on the device itself? I do not have access to a computer.

Unfortunately, no. Unless you try the maderstcok file, or one of the TBH files found in their app.

That is a shame. I would think there would be a big calling for a simple rooting app for the droids.

I recall people going into stores doing just that to D1s. Within a few minutes they'd have the phone rooted and running some other rom.

That is what I want to do with my X. I just want to install an app and have my phone rooted with one click.

You can on Froyo, but not GB

Is there a way to go back to Froyo and root it with that and then upgrade to GB and it still be rooted?

ok if i sbf back to froyo, root it with z4, how do i get back to gb with the new blur just like it was stock but with root? my buddy just got a new dx and it has the new gb with the new blur and wants to root it so he can oc it and delete some bloatware, he doesnt want to run a ROM if he dont have to. can this be done?

 

[brad92]

Yes, it is possible. Sbf back to Froyo, use Z4 Root and Droid 2 bootstrap.

Download the 2 part GB files here:

Use Droid 2 bootstrap, wipe data, wipe cache and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

Then install the 2 files IN ORDER. After that, reboot. Its very simple.

Try to do a factory reset. Hold volume down while pressing the power button. Keep holding till the screen comes up.
