Default Quick question..

My buddy wants me to root his Droid 2 and flash a custom ROM for him. I do not own this phone so I do not know how to do this on his phone.

Best place to find tutorials for root and clockwork? All the stickies seem to be outdated.

Thanks in advance.

make sure you install the motorolla drivers, then enable usb debugging and put on charge only mode, use motorolla one click root and it should auto root for you and restart 3 times, then download droid 2 bootstrap best bet is to pay for it but i think its on koush's site for free, then install any rom you want i suggest my miui defx for d2 or a cm7 rom hope that helps
