Take a few deep breaths for now...I will try to find something to help...im sure of u don't get an answer tonight u will have a few solutions by tomorrow morning from others...
Can somebody please help me? Running stock 2.3.4 and Windows 7 32-bit
The one click tool does not work for me. I followed the steps exactly but I get this:
"ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method"
I tried doing it again and the same thing happened.
Then I followed the SBF tutorial, thinking that would help. I SBF'd and did a factory reset and tried the program again and it still did not work.
Then I tried doing the manual method and followed steps 1 through 4 (step 5 is missing?? or just numbered incorrectly?) and 6 through 11. When I type adb shell in the command prompt, I get " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." preventing me from moving forward with the rest of the steps. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer many times and reinstalled the drivers and everything.
If someone could please explain what I am doing wrong and help me root my phone, I would very much appreciate it. I've been trying for the past three hours now and am getting frustrated.
Thank you.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you (been busy) but I just want to let you know that I finally got the manual root method to work!! Thank you for posting this tutorial, as well as all the other ones you posted. I will now be able to enjoy my X2 to the fullest.
Thank you
Install open garden from the market. Then install system tuner and in it you can freeze bloat apps

Moon Shadow,
I'd like to root my Droid x2 Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I just had a some ?s.
1 . PetesMotorolaRootTools come's with what verions of
Superuser & busybox do I need to update these after or
have them loaded before?
2. Is there anyway to backup system before hand whats
best way to go about it?
3. Can I Do This Nandroid Before Rooting?
Sorry for all the questions but i just like to be really
clear before I do this . Android OS (Linux) newB
Great toot BTW
Thank You To Much
Moon Shadow,
Thank you for your help in clarifying these points 4 me.
The root went flawlessly it was so fast it was done before I
knew it. Thank You
I still have a question on Superuser & Busybox. I known you
said to update them in the market. Researching these apps I see
a lot of negative review's on latest versions.
(Lost root on update,New version Bad,Used to be awesome...
Binary update is failing. Dont know why the app is getting updated
to a buggy version!, Installed even Su update fixer, no help.
Beautiful app. But last update of binary lost my root. )
Could you suggest the best version's of these 2 apps and
were to download them from. Or maybe which one to update
first?? Everything went so smoothly thank's to your excellent Tutorial's
I'd just hate to screw it up loading the wrong soft.
Thank U Thank U

but I did update the binary it uses(don't have a clue what that's about yet.. just know it kept telling me it was outdated) from within the app.
the drive link and pete's links are showing 404 page, are there new links? thanks
I do not know about unrooting using Pete's tool. I haven't tried it. (But ashclepdia says it works just fine.)
There are two options that I know of to unroot your Droid X2. They are:
1. If you already have root privileges (and root/su works), using a root enabled explorer (I use File Expert) mount the /system folder in read/write (rw) mode and delete the following 3 files:
a. /system/xbin/busybox
b. /system/xbin/su
c. /system/app/Superuser.apk
OR
In the adb shell, type the following:
(The reboot command will reboot your phone. If you are not done working with your phone or in the adb shell, just type exit, or keep working with ADB.)Code:mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system rm /system/xbin/busybox rm /system/xbin/su rm /system/app/Superuser.apk reboot
2. The easiest, don't screw up your phone, put it back to "as stock as the day you got it", way is to do a data wipe and SBF. Performing a SBF restore is not difficult at all. See my tutorial: Moon Shadow's Droid X2 Tutorials - How to perform an SBF of your Motorola Droid X2.
adb shell
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
CD \temp\manual_root
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chown system.system /data
adb shell reboot
Sbf is the "save all" so far for x2. And it's really only like 5 simple steps once u have rsdlite and moto drivers installed
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Thanks! Let the mod know... Infact, who is the mod for this forum?
I am new and wanting to know how to do a complete system backup on my dx2 version 2.3.4 before i root the phone. Just let me know what i need to download.
