So I pressed the factory reset button...

OK. While on the activation screen, starting at the top left, touch each corner in a clock wise pattern. This should get you passed the screen.
Its a little tricky so if you don't get it just keep trying. Also, you can look for a video on how to do it if my description does not make sense, its hard to envision when reading a description.

Unless someone's figured this out in the last month or two, Droid 2 running 2.3.4 - 4.5.621 cannot be rooted due to a new bootloader being installed with the most recent update, nor can it be flashed back to previous versions to achieve root that way.
Ive been running GB triple threat since it was released last year and had grand plans to try out cyanogen and/or steel droid, but after sbf-ing back to froyo and allowing the ota to GB, I made the mistake of allowing a second OTA to d/l and install. Alas, no more custom roms or root. Looks like I'll be getting a phone upgrade sooner than I anticipated.
The 'touch each corner clockwise to get past activation' thing is a neat trick though. I didn't know that one

Wasn't sure honestly, being out of the loop I could not say definitively if it has been rooted or not. That answers that.
And glad you like that little trick

Yeah, but you have to look at the first page to see it
I get side tracked too easily sometimes trying to keep up with 3 sites and seemingly an endless amount of devices. Oh well, I'll add that to the memory bank now.

Hah, I figured as much. I wouldn't have even gone into the section to look if I weren't on the D2 and knew the method had come out. Between here, Rootz, and XDA, not to mention all my other ventures I get overwhelmed as well. Luckily we're all here to help one another.:happy3:
