[Q]

---

Hello all,
So I just bought a Droid 2 Global from Verizon and got it in the mail this week.
I've been looking around online here and at another site and I'm thinking about rooting my phone.
But I'm really confused about everything and trying to figure out the Pro's and Con's of rooting.

I'm also unsure of the best way to go about it. I've only really found two ways of Rooting the D2G.
One is typing a script, and then using Z4Root I believe it's called.

Which is the best way to root my device to get the most out of it and are there other things I should or need to do to prep it?

Thanks!


Edit: Forgot to add a title for the post...
Is there a way I can change it?

I used z4root to root my phone. Then bootstrap to flash recovery. Then titanium back up to remove bloatware crap and freeze someother stuff. Clockwork to fix permissions and get things all smooth like. Then backed up. Used set cpu to underclock cpu to 1ghz for bat savings. Also wireless tether for root users and the free wii remote app is also cool. Adfree helps to stop those pesky ads in apps n games n such. I just like how rooting gives you a lot more control over your phone I guess. In answer to your ?, that is the method I used and what I did with it. Cheers

Thanks for the info!

I'm trying it right now. Hopefully It'll work

If it does I'll also try looking up those other apps your recommended and see how those work out!
Any other pretty cool apps to try while I'm at it?

Try downloading the z4root apk from a computer and transfering it to the phone via usb cable. Also, make sure you have unknown sources checked in settings>applications

@Rusty
I actually didn't know that I had to do that at 1st til I tried it
I remembered seeing the option and figured that had something to do with it so I checked it and then moved it from my PC to my SD.

If you search for the app in the xda forum it will run you through the steps on how to root. Also Team Defuse has a good how to on their web site. The person above is using their fission rom, which is currently the only rom out there worth a damn for our phone I guess...? Fission is pretty vanilla though. Fast , but to plain jane for me. Hope all this helps. Cheers.

Yeah, once you install z4root, rooting is as easy as pushing a button. Also, its good that fission is very vanilla, its very customizable, I assure you, my fission install is nowhere close to vanilla
