Is this true? And if there is a special where would i find best guide on how to accomplish the root on dmd64?

Hi i have a DMD64...i installed universal Androot.apk and it will work out for you...google it

Make sure you check if you are actually rooted after rooting with Universal Androot. I used it to initially try and root my G1 with DMD64 and it said it worked but I didn't have root access. I wish I could remember what I actually used to finally get it done.. let me look through my bookmarks and see what I can find for you.

I just did this with CM6. If you need help let me know.

NOOOOOOOB
I hate posting and asking for help. I enjoy figuring things out for myself. G1 with dmd64. Apparently I have rooted using the ANDRoot method. Shooting for install of Cyanogenmod 6, but not married to that if someone has other suggestions.
Problem? For a long list of reasons I won't get into, I am stuck using a Mac 10.4.
Just makes all instructions I am following a little bit different. I have dreamimg'ed...Put the mod on my root, all kinds of things, even starting from scratch with factory resets etc...
While I haven't "bricked" I have yet to get any MOD working yet. Have started of thinking of "different" ways of doing things so that they will take hold...Yet have realized I am getting awfully close to bricking..
Does ANYONE know of procedure to use/put on MOD using a MAC? I know I'm a NOOB, but I doubt I'm the first...

I used the instructions at this wiki. When it comes to flashing the recovery, I had to look into the discussion section and use what one of the users posted to actually get telnet to flash the recovery to my phone. I did however manage to successfully flash my G1 with CM6.

Thank you. Good stuff. I guess my question in particular is...My phone IS rooted (checked with T emulator) but before I flash mod, do I still have to change the radio? Right now I'm listed at dmd64, do I have to goto one of the RC's or can I just flash? I have tried to change the radio but it always stops at the rainbow screen.

Personally, I did exactly what that guide I linked said. I'm not sure if you can just flash or if you have to downgrade. I do know, though, that downgrading is pretty simple and it doesn't take much time. As for the radio, I know that CM5 and CM6 (and I am assuming CM7 also) require DangerSPL. When you flash DangerSPL, the instructions also tell you which radio to flash, and to be careful because flashing the incorrect radio can brick your phone.

Updates are delivered OTA and also can be done manually from with a DL from the B&N site ... current version is 1.1 and by reading at the NOOKColor Portal you can find how to root from any version.

I clicked the link above and I may have missed it (Found it) but I did not see the root instructions for the latest firmware update. Is there a different thread I should start reading for this?
Note: I've been a nook owner for all of one week and I'm in desperate need of Android knowledge as I'm really digging this thing.

Here's a good link with very clear instructions on rooting:
http://community.saugususd.org/jklein/weblog/1345.html
In the post that follows that one (it's a blog) he covers updating while rooted and also speeding up the CPU.
I had to restore my stock NC to 1.0.1 so that the currently available autonooter would work. Here's a link to a great thread on how to do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931720
Check your version number on your Nook. I bought mine last week but it still had 1.0.0 -- then I manually upgraded to 1.1.0 prior to rooting, which was a mistake!

If you haven't rooted by now, note that an Auto-Nooter version is out that gets you to v1.1 .. it's here ... read thoroughly tho B4 you go and be aware of the changes you will get with this package.

you can also use the clockwork rooting (CWR) method here from TheCubed and then use the Decad3nce rooted 1.1r2 from here. I think the autonooter is easier, but if you can figure out the CWR then you will also build on the knowledge of fixing your NC if you accidently delete the boot/system partition.

[Q] To root or to wait for ICS

Had OD and loved having it rooted. (My sister's bf helped me. I'm more or less a newb) Had to upgrade to Bionic and while I love it am missing root.
I've been searching online and between info about root and the upcoming ICS update I am getting confused.
Should I root now and wait for ICS? Or wait for ICS then root?

It seems pretty likely that there will be ICS based ROMs available long before Motorola gets around to releasing an official OTA update.

You need not be rooted at all. If you don't know exactly what you're doing, you should NOT be rooted because you WILL brick your phone.
If you really want to be rooted, you need to do some research and get more familiar with it, what it's for, how it works, and what it can do to your phone.
You probably want to be pretty familiar with ADB too.

I am running the most current unreleased patch 5.7.893 and have not really read what I am really going to gain my rooting. If someone can tell me what I would get that would be worth rooting I will root. but running stock OTA roms specially the 5.7 has fixed most of what was wrong with the phone. I would if I was you just patch per instructions on here rootzwiki.com/topic/8562-easily-upgrade-to-57893-keep-root-and-webtop/ to get the fixes unless someone says there is something well risking rooting

If you are happy with what you have on your phone now, you shouldn't root.
Better to not take the chances.
Oh and...it takes a lot of manual coding to root for you now because the 893 kernel blocks all One-Click-Root programs from working. You have to do it all manually now, and you have to go back to 886 before you can root again anyway.

Yea I understand about going back. I had to go back just to get the webtop working in 5.7.893. I did the incremental one and lost webtop. used the R3l3AS3DRoot_Windows_V2.1 to go back to the 886 then used the single file update to 5.7 and everything works great. I would probably root if I could get free wifi hotspot so I could use my XOOM thru my phone cause I don't want to pay the hotspot or extra for more 4G bandwidth for my XOOM since my phone is unlimited

I didn't brick my last phone. Rooted all by myself. BF just pointed the way.

Even if you did do it by yourself, if you don't know where to go from there, I wouldnt do it.

Its fun seeing the ROMs that are put out but unless that tutor is available I wouldnt do it. Bricking your phone isnt cool.

Rooting really isn't that big a deal once you have some idea what you are doing.
I have had 3 rooted phones and have rooted/jailbroke/hacked just about every other electronic device in my entire house at one point or another.
Do your research, and make sure you follow the instructions. Of course it also helps if you are familiar with ADB and a command shell so you know what the commands you are running actually do too.
Oh, and wait for ICS? C'mon you know XDA will have that at least 2-3 months before it get's an OTA update. [this is fact] <-- don't hold me to that.

Exactly. Motorola will have to start all over with Blur, that is gonna take forever. Rooting a phone with a decent developer community will always mean you have access to the new toys well before the OTA updates.

At the OP, You should have also ran the 43V3R root when you did R3L3AS3DRoot. I'm not an expert on android software and rooting but when I had my X2 I did some minimal research and haven't ran into any problems. When I got my Bionic I rooted it within the first 20 min of getting it. The tools that Dhacker put out (R3L3AS3DRoot, etc.) are amazing and rather easy for someone who is less experienced. They also make it nearly impossible to brick your phone as you can just run it again to get back to stock. Not to say you should just rush into things with reckless abandon.
If you do some research and read EVERYTHING that a developer provides as a guide to flashing their ROM, mod, hack, etc. you'll most likely be ok. Just do everything in small steps. As to your question about ICS though, do like I said. I know it's a pain but backup all your apps and run the R3L3AS3DRoot again, but then also run 43V3R root and intall Cheesecake. All of these can be done with the same tool. Then flash the 5.7.893 update and bam, you have the latest version and your still rooted. You may have to reinstall Super User from the market though.
As far as how useful having a rooted phone is, it all depends on what you will actually take advantage of. One of the simplest things is to just flash a custom ROM and enjoy the changes the developer has made. Liberty is top notch and I would reccomend it to a "newb". Personally I am quite satisfied with stock and would rather customize everything to my own personal satisfaction. If you go that route there are still great things out there. I'm using the V8 Supercharger script and ROM toolbox. TBH I'm not really sure what I'm doing with scripts but there was a good guide for the V8S one and I would highly suggest ROM toolbox. You can use it to install custom fonts, boot animations, download and install custom ROMs (though I think it only supports liberty (haven't tested it)) freeze or uninstall bloatware apps. Basically it's about 10 or so apps in one and it's very user friendly.
Wow this is getting way longer than I planned so here's the:
TL;DR
Do research til you feel comfortable. Read EVERYTHING any developer gives you as a guide. Don't rush into things. And looks at all your options. Rooting gives you access to a few neat tools and hacks to get everything you can out of your phone. Just keep R3L3AS3DRoot handy and you have a very low chance of completely bricking your phone. Also as a disclaimer, I'm not responsible if you completely wreck your phone.
Edit: Adding some links to helpful reads.
FAQs, highly recommend.
List of all ROMs and most tools, etc.
UOT Kitchen, very user friendly way to theme your phone. PM me if you want to use this because there are certain things you must do and things you cannot do.
Hope I have helped a bit.

R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root were easier than expected.

I say go for root that update is a few months away anyways just make sure you know what you're doing.

[Q] 3.0 upgrade and CWM

I have Streak 7 that came with Android 2.2. I was planning to try and root it, but after I got CWM installed, I found that instructions for flashing a different ROM were a bit more complicated than I was comfortable working with, and never did actually root my tablet. So it's got the CWM mod on it, but I do NOT have superuser access.
I saw a post at the Dell site talking about an Android 3.0 upgrade being available for Streak 7, but the article is from back in October from what I can tell. It said that you would get a notification on your Streak when the upgrade was ready, unless you had rooted your device, in which case you'd have to revert it to factory condition before you could upgrade the OS.
I never did get a notification for the upgrade. Did that ever actually happen? Or did I not get the notice because I have the CWM on my device, even though I haven't actually rooted it? If there IS an upgrade and if the reason I didn't get the message is because I have the CWM on there, how do I get rid of it? I've read some of the threads here about removing CWM, but the one's I've found have all focused on unrooting the device, I haven't found anything that just explains how to get CWM off an unrooted device.
I"m still very much a novice at these things, so if you can offer information on how to get CWM off my Streak, please explain it as simply and clearly as possible. I'm sorry for needing the extra effort, but I haven't learned all the jargon yet, so I get confused pretty easily.
Thank you for any assistance or guidance you can offer!

Hi, this might help you. It is a quote from "TheManii" who is a great help to everyone using the Streak.
"Intro:
The official updates are out for all regions that are going to recieve them.
If you can update via "to settings -> about device -> check for updates" you should use that. If you cannot for some reason here are update zips to manually install them for your device."
-------------
From his explanation on this thread it appears that installing CWM will not prevent an update since you aren't rooted yet. I am not an expert on this device, I rooted my Streak 7 last week using TheManii's instructions. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286295

Thanks!
I will definitely check that out!

Just wanted to let you know that your suggestion was exactly what I needed. I now have the new version up and running on my tablet!
Take care!!

[Q] Challenge: Find me a link, please.

Can I get a link to a thread on a WORKING method to root the KF2 running firmware version 10.1.3? There are thousands of people out there with old versions of rooting that do not WORK. Extremely frustrated. I've wasted a lot of time, and I cannot find what I am looking for in any threads.
I have installed drivers onto my machine and now need to get TWRP to show Online. It says offline all the time and I'm wondering if I simply haven't gained access to the correct version?
PLEASE! Help.

I think you're getting a little confused here. First of all, TWRP never shows online or offline...It's custom recovery that sits on your recovery partition. You're probably thinking of KFU. Second, neither TWRP nor KFU work for the 2nd gen Kindle Fires. You cannot install any ROMs on the 2nd gen KFs, only root them. There are instructions for rooting them, but they aren't anything like the original.

1. Thank you for clearing up my confusion on TWRP and KFU. You were correct.
2. I will follow insturctions on the new root method.
3. I want to make sure: NO ROMs are working yet on the KF2? Thanks, Amazon? Will someone crack that? Are you optimistic?

I now see info in there that is for the KF2HD and that the new ones are locked?
Is there specific direction for KF2's and how to frickin' root them?

The KF2s are the same way. They're already running ICS, so rooting and installing a new launcher is usually sufficient to get a decent tablet experience, but you still won't get the typical ICS interface you might be used to. You won't have any kind of decent recovery to fall back on in case something goes awry, so you should be very careful when messing with files you wouldn't normally have access to. If you do decide to go with a launcher, stay away from the ICS launcher. As tempting as it may be, it has caused a good number of the original KFs to be bricked, requiring the intervention of a custom recovery to fix.
As far as installing any kind of ROMs, you might as well forget about it for now. The motivation for getting past the new KFs security seems to have dwindled quite a bit in the last couple of weeks, and I personally think it's not going to happen, but you never know...
