@redsoxfan7111 If you get stuck in the bootloader screen pull the battery and give it a minute, then put it back in and turn your Droid on then retry rooting :)

Does not work on my windows 7 64bit. Just get error messages about 7-zip and can't find the path.

@tonymartindale It works with my Windows 7 64-bit fine, which version did you use?  Try 1.8rA or 2.04 if you still have issues :)

Hey once I followed all of the instructions for downloading the Root 2.01 Beta and have the superuser installed in my apps, what else do I need to do to have full access to my phone and be able to download any applications for free????

[RDKamikaze]

@bryx0103 Rooting your Droid isn't intended to let you download apps for free (it's not jailbreaking like the iphone). Rooting gives you root access to your Droid so you can do thing like overclock, increase battery life with a new kernel, backup your Droid, change bootloading symbols, custom ROMS, etc.

is rooting safe

2.04 didn't work. cmd ran but I got a failed message or device not found or an error every time a command line ran. Is ADB needed to run that? I thought this was supposed to be a one-click (read: easy) method? I tried version 2.06, nothing. ran it multiple times. installed the latest drivers, rebooted the phone, tried again. nothing. no superuser access.

[tonymartindale]

@RDKamikaze Hi, I tried 2.06 and 2.04. With 2.06 I just get messages saying Non 7zip archive and with 2.04 I get Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to assess the items.

I ran this as an administrator so I have no idea what it means.

how do you unroot?

[bryx0103]

@RDKamikaze I know there are ways to get the droid to do what i want like switch it to be running a different phones software and all that just like jail breaking, do you know how I can do that?
