Hi all.
Greetings from the Droid 2 subforums. I be DarkOnion. Apparently, the rooting method for the Droid 2 is claimed to have worked for Droid X also.
Give this method a try as soon as you want to root your Droid X on 2.2! Written for dummies by a dummy. Let me know if it works or doesn't or if you run into any trouble!

Hi everyone,
Just as the title says, I have a friend in Mexico who owns a Motoroi which I assume is the equivalent to the Droid 1 here in the US. He's stuck in 2.1 and wants to upgrade to 2.2 and Im not sure if there was an official update or not.
So I suggested him to maybe lean towards a ROM. So, are the ROMs available for the Droid 1 compatible with his phone or will there be a problem? Thanks in advace.
Im confused, I have a droid incredible 2 and have been following this device as well as my Dinc2. There is no permanent root solution that I can find for either phone. And yet if I visit the android development section of this forum I see custom roms and such. Are there unlocked versions of the Incredible S? Im sorry to sound stupid, I am not new to rooting, I have rooted my T-mobile G2, friends Droid X and Droid 2. But I am really confused as to what is going on.
You need to have the phone set to S-OFF with a XTC-Clips first, then you can Root it and install a custom ROM.
This is my 1st time rooting a Verizon Droid & I don't want to brick the phone. So wanted to ask the experts/experienced users before rooting, as there seems to be several different ways to root.
Motorola Droid/A855 with Android 2.2/FRG22D.
Q1. Best/safest/easiest way to root this phone? Can you also link to the step-by-step guide that is available for the specific method you suggest.
Q2. What rooted/modded ROM's are available for this specific phone? Please provide link.
Thank you for any help.
Hey guys,
I am thinking of rooting my Motorola X 2nd Gen and so far I have found older and more outdated ways of rooting the phone.
I have never done anything like this with phones so I will need some guidance to make sure I don't mess anything up.
I have done some research and have watched many YouTube videos on how to root the phone but many of them show the phone with older versions of Android and in the comments it says that that way of rooting the phone will not work with 5.1. If it is useful, my phone is originally from AT&T and after I finished the two year contract with them I had them unlock it and I am not with Ting. Not sure if that info is necessary but might as well provide as much as I can.
Anyways, my question for you is if there are any guides to root my phone that are current and are proven to work.
I really appreciate your time and your help.
Let me know if I can provide any more information that will help you in helping me!

You need an unlocked bootloader for that.

If you have an AT&T XT1097 and on the Android 5.1 08-01-2016 security patch, there currently is not a way to gain temproot in order to unlock the bootloader. We have to wait for tools like kingroot/kingoroot to be updated.
