Root .418

---

I recently got this phone via a warranty replacement for my Droid 2 Global and after being used to custom roms and whatnot I was wondering what the proper steps were to root this device. I know the very latest release for the D2G couldn't be sbf'd (without an extra hacked sbf file) so I was wondering if there was anything like that for the X2. Ideally I'd like to get on CM7, which I gather requires a 2.3.4 kernel. The most important thing though is of course not bricking the device. Thanks for the help.

Find "Pete's Root Tools"

Put your phone into Debugging mode
Settings - development - check USB debugging

Hit the back button once and check "Unknown Sources"

Load up root Tools on your computer

Plug in your phone and put it in charge only mode

If and when your phone is detected by the program follow the prompts given and you should be rooted.

There is no root exploit for it. Sbf to 234( follow thelowend's guide) & use rootkeeper & apply the ud from sd card.

Is .418 the soak test?

Yea

I can safely 2.3.4 sbf without bricking? I know with the latest D2G update Motorola prevented sbf'ing down to an older version. I didn't know if they did something like that with .418. I want to be sure it's safe.

I did it on a /418 warranty dx2 also.

Well I sbf'd to 2.3.4, rooted, and installed CM7. It feels good to be back.

Same here. Was part of the soak, SBFd and back on CM7 too. Couldnt be happier to be home. Darkside all day! So I'm wondering when root is going to be obtainable on this 2.3.5 besides the voodoo trick. That is the million dollar question...
