Special thanks to XDA Developers, Dark Onion, Facelessuser, and Sabastian Krahmer (provided the root theory and regularly gets his last name butchered by me) for providing this root exploit to us.

  • This sucks. I have tried under both mac and windows and cant get mine to find the device. The one time I did on mac it failed to root.

  • @Hawkeye0918 Sorry about that, I'd review the posts on the support thread and see if there is any information there to help.

  • how do i know this actually worked? it says it was rooted, however i see no difference in my phone?

  • Thank you sir for making a video. This will help many! -Kevin a.k.a. DarkOnion

    I made a video for Windows, then found this... Hahaha. But... I will post a link on the thread!

  • no this is pretty weard. i put my device in "PC Mode" and it didn't work. I put my device in "USB Mode" and it worked.

  • alright, i've ran through everything, followed all instructions completely, I've checked other forums, but I am lost. After I run through everything it will say "root successful" but It doesn't seem to be rooted. I'm so damn confused... I have a Droid X running 2.2

  • whats the mechanism for unrooting ... if one had too ... btw in linux this worked flawlessly and quickly ... droid x OTA 2.2 rooted in 2 minutes

  • @wimervision Not your fault just sucks i can't get it done. I really want to tether my iPad to my droid x.

  • I agree with a no adb one because Ive spent an hour repeating the commands and resetting the phone and changing the mode. Doing it on the phone itself was way better

  • mine gets stuck in adb connection will be reset. restart adb....
