Root Methods

I thought I might as well start this thread. The only root method I currently know of is http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04...-droid-charge/

I have read that z4root works as well, can anyone confirm this? I will be receiving my DROID Charge tomorrow and will try z4root.

Root however you want to, keep us updated on how it works out.

The method in the first post works well. In step 5 after adb shell you will need to input chmod 755 /data/local/GingerBreak or you will get a permission denied error when trying to run gingerbreak.

Just got my Charge from work finally, will root today and keep you guys posted. I will try z4root first to see if it can be done easily.

What does that mean "just got from work"? Were you able to purchase one? I backed down on getting one from Best Buy at the last minute on the Sunday after the missed launch (they were willing to sell it to me), but when I tried to get one the other day, no sale!
