[Q] How to Root Moto Droid running 2.2.3

---

I have looked around the forums and google searched this for the last hour. I've been trying to root it with SuperOneClick and Pete's Motorola Root Tools and have had no success. The build number is FRK76. My brother updated it and i can't root it anymore. Any help will be accepted.

I am having the same issue. Any rooting options out there for 2.2.3? Someone out there please help out.
Thanks...

Same problem here. It got updated to FRK76, cant find any support to root it.

I found that using Superoneclick v1.7 works when you use the rageagainstthecage method. This was the latest version I found that included this method; it has been removed in later versions.

Root 2.2.3 (FRK76)

I had the same problem:
Current version of SuperOneClick could not root my Droid (2.2.3 FRK76)

Downloaded SuperOneClick 1.7,
ran it (selecting rageinthecage option)
and it succeeded in rooting my phone.

Thank you!

I can't vouch for that zip file but yes version 1.7 will get flagged by your virus scanner. I posted in the other thread where I got my version of 1.7 from and the link has a description of why it gets flagged by your virus scanner: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1406287&page=2

Root Droid using 2.2.3 with Mac OS X

---

Can someone point me to step by step instructions on how to root my Droid 1 running 2.2.3 using my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8? I've searched quite a bit so far and have not come across what I need. I have not rooted before, and I'd like some help. Everyone here seems to be the most helpful I've seen on most forums so I figured this would be the place to ask. All assistance is greatly appreciated.

I tried using mono and running SuperOneClick v 1.7 with the rageinthecage option and it failed, also failed using all other exploits in both the 2.3.3 version on SOC and the 1.7 version of SOC.

Each time I try I get "Automatic version checking failed, Is your OS 2.0 or higher?" with options of YES, NO, OR CANCEL. No matter what i choose, the process stops.

Is using mono the problem? I am willing to try anything manually or otherwise, I just need some guidance. Thanks in advance!
