Try using superoneclick, should be around here somewhere...get permissions back and load up clockwork and backup...wipe cache and install cyanogen or whatever your flavor.

Hey guys,
Trying to help a buddy at work unlock his driod1 - he updated to FFRG22D - now any of the single click root methods do not work..
My phone is a nexus1 and did not have these issues: As I am not a Droid owner / user I am hoping people in the forums here help to get him rooted.
I would like to get him on to ClockWork - so we can flash CM6 on his droid.
Can someone point me to a good guide to rooting this?
Cheers,
hey if he is OTA FRG22D can you please post his build.prop file for me to take a look at, it can be found under /system on phone memory, i am working out a market fix for rooted frg01b users like my self, i wont update until after frg22d is rooted for real but i can spoof the version and fingerprint if i have that file contents
i found what i was looking for after a while, thanks.

Have you had any luck? My buddy had his phone replaced and the new one has this update, but he would like me to root it again for him.
can you not just download the old froyo, put it in the sd as update.zip, flash that then root?
FRG22D hotspot app
I have the OTA FRG22D stock unrooted. In-order to root it, I used the following procedure, from droidforums:
"Root Droid 1 - regardless of OS version". After installing the custom recovery:
"MC1_A855_1282081087_Recovery-Only_SPRecovery_0.99.3b.sbf", I was then successful installing a wifi hotspot app

So to root I just rename the file to update.zip and install it that way?

The one click root apps do not work with FRG22D. The exploit those apps used was patched with this release.
The FRG01B & FRG22B stock/odex/deodex only work for devices that are already rooted. Meaning that if you do manage to imstall them you will not have root.
You need to do a *sbf* back to 2.1 or2.01.
root droid regardless of os version.

look around for motocache post
Installed latest stock
Flashed Sprecovery
Flashed his package which roots and disables the attempt at the droid to unroot
well, ****. I'm new so I can't post outside links yet, but go to droidforums and search "[HowTo] Root, Deodex, and Theme Droid Froyo 2.2 FRG22D"
worked fine for me, no issues so far.
Use the rsdlite process, hold the x down on your phone when it says rebooting

I'm new to the Droid 1 I came from the Eris and it is easy!!!!
Okay so I did it with out even having internet on my pc or Linux laptop which thank god I finally got internet today!!!! Use the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin method... Super easy I actually downloaded using my D1 transfered file from my phone to Linux laptop and changed the Windows commands to Linux commands and it worked and then I went in to market and flashed Clockwork!!!! Oh and yes I'm on FRG22D the phone came as a replacement for my Eris and it already had this build on it... PM me if you have any questions...

It doesn't.
The method that RodNoc_eR just mentioned above just worked for me. Here's the link again: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html
for those of you who are doing this the complicated way, THERE IS a ONE-CLICK METHOD, since I cant post links, Google SuperOneClick, download and find instructions, its pretty much as easy as downloading the .zip, extracting it to where ever you want, right click on SuperOneClick application and Run as Administrator, make sure USB debugging is checked, DO NOT mount as USB storage device, click root button on the program, let it do its thing, and wa-la!
You have acheived root! Be sure to download the Custom Recovery of your choice, which is as easy as DLing Rom Manager from the Market and flashing ClockworkMod, I just did this and am now happy I spent time searching and not typing commands into the SDK, super easy and it works for the DROID 1 FRG22d, I just did it.
Enjoy!
Z4 Root help? I have the original droid After installing Z4 Root version 1.2.1 it just cycles after it states "Attempting to apply root" and runs as if its thinking? Heeelllppp me anyone please it was and easy install but gets stuck any suggestions?
Z4 root will not work with 2.2.1.

Same thing happened to me when I tried z4. I resorted to superoneclick as well. Follow instructions, very easy. My first root.

I recently obtained a Motorola Droid with a broken charger port, I bought an external battery charger to use it but I can't figure out a way to root it. I've googled all around for a Droid root, but the only ones I can find are for the Droid 2 (tried those and didn't work) or pre-FRG83G. So is there a way to root it without a computer or a way to downgrade from FRG83G?

I've tried both Universal Androot and z4root, neither works. In both cases it looks like the apps fail to mount anything in the system, same for when I tried installing rage.bin manually. I couldn't even cd into /data/local/tmp. Why is all this happening?
I rooted using Pete's 1 Click Root Pkg. Now I am regretting it. I tried to unroot using Pete's, but it just gave me an error msg saying that my device is not a Droid 3. If I can't get this app issue to go away (they keep uninstalling themselves when I reboot), I'd like to take it back to VZ. However, I can't take it back rooted. Have I totally just ruined my phone?
Did you follow the instructions posted here?

I am unable to create a backup using safestrap or switch to safe mode. I keep getting an "Error in creating a backup image of /data."
I have a Verizon Droid 3, running rooted stock 5.6.890. I rooted using psouza one click, installed ota rootkeeper, ran that. Installed safestrap, ran that. Rebooted into recovery, tried to enable safe mode, failed. Tried to backup, failed.

Try turning off safe mode. If you can get to recovery you should be fine.

Lemme clarify. Sbf is only if your phone is stuck on the Dual Core screen. ?

Remove ota rootkeeper. That's what's ruining the backup.

R an into same problem a few days ago but with tweaked D3 bootstrap, and it took me forever to work around (much weeping and gnashing of teeth.) Are you sure OTA Rootkeeper is the culprit? I can surely live without it if it is that pernicious,
Ota rootkeeper places an unmodifiable backup on your phone, and the app is only useful if you plan on installing updates through the stock recovery. CWM recovery has issues with things it has no control over, especially your SU binary
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
I removed the ota rootkeeper app and still can't get the backup. Did I miss something?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Did you unprotect root before you uninstalled? It doesnt remove it unless you open the app and hit the unprotect button
Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)
Droid 3 Rooted (Stock Kernel, Custom lite De-bloat)
Yes, I removed protection before installing. Still getting same error.

So I haven't bricked it, should I uninstall safestrap, do factory reset, and try to redo root? I just want to use safestrap so I can try some new ROMs and still have my original ROM tucked away.

This should work as long as you haven't removed/froze any of the system apps and its %100 stock in tact. If you have titanium backup just make a backup of your user apps so it'll be easier to restore.
Should, meaning its worth a try and easier/faster than flashing the fastboot files.
I ran psouza debloat script but it's reversible. Right?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
You also meant doing a factory restore, right?

How do you remove the file ota rootkeeper puts on. I turned off the protection, then uninstalled. Still can't get /data to backup. Or turn on safe mode.
