You don't. Not sure what you want to "mod" but just about everything not available on the market, and possibly everything seen here requires root. It's not hard, just do it.
I just want to be able to do all these gorgeous things http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519
Download the .zip file, place it into your SD card, reboot into recovery mode (phone needs to be rooted by the way) by holding the HOME key and POWER key, select aaply sdcard:choose zip, select the .zip you just downloaded.

Have to root. Like I said most things in this forum require root. Best thing you can do if you have one of these. Even my wife was able to root hers.

As outlined by Droid dev Steven Bird: http://stevenbird.info/2010/07/10/the-droidx-security-and-discovery/
I know absolutely nothing about Android development, but here's hoping that another dev here can make sense of it.
I love the confidence.

An "efuse" hardware chip? Wow Motorola!
I like the screen of the droid x, I like the size, but there is no way I could in good conscience buy this phone. Motorola has just slapped the dev community in the face.
Even Iphone doesn't have this BS , i guess Motorola one upped apple by kicking customers twice in the balls.
couldn't they run into some legal issues with this efuse method?
what about women?

What we need to do is setup a site called "WeWant2RootDroidX.com" and make all tech blogs in the world link to it.

The Droid X is already rooted though. The bootloader is what everyone is concerned about.

Link to news of root?
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...-the-droid-x-may-not-lead-to-a-bricked-phone/
Apparently the original Droid has the same "eFuse". I think we need to reserve judgement until we find out if Moto is utilizing it or not. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's in use.
I was about to say the same thing, this chip is nothing new and doesn't stop you from rooting, get real, they even advertised the ability to root this phone in their ads

I don't know if I've seen an ad talking about root, but...
I talked to a device tester today and apparently there is something VERY different about the Droid X bootloader. They had VERY specific instructions from Moto that if the bootloader (MBM) didn't match exactly what they required to send the phone back to have the MBM updated. If it wasn't it would corrupt the phone.
Not sure if this is the same as the "eFuse", but should be interesting to see what happens the first time someone tries to mess with the bootloader.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. I dont have anything that works.

do not release this yet...
I think you should wait to release this until after the Bionic has been out for a few days so they don't/can't patch it closed before it ships - I suspect whatever process you used will work there as well.
You're my hero right now If I had anything to donate to you I certainly would, for now all I can give is praise for your wonderful work though. If I get anything extra though I'll send it your way.

It's absolutely up to Dan to decide about a publication, but he is a security guy, I don't think it fits in his philosophy to keep something hidden, secret.
Keep in mind, exploits can be used on malicious ways as well. So I always back publications of vulnerabilities and thus enabling developers to fix them. It gives us more secure devices.
Otherwise said, I do not blame Motorola/Verizon for fixing all the vulnerabilities, I blame them for locking down devices!
And, like another one said before, it is highly unlikely Bionic will have a patch for this. Bionic users will benefit from this exploit, I'm sure.

Because you can easily get them from Market and not everyone wants them preinstalled. (Don't know who though )

I've been running this since he released it this morning. very snappy and I havent had any issues pop up.
In case you do have issues, just have the restore process ready to go, I doubt you'll need to worry about booting your DX.
I'm going to try Jewremy's MOD later and see if it works with this (since its 5.6.890 based). I'll report back on how that goes.

That is the problem. You want to do things that you don't fully understand. Anytime you try to flash something there is a chance it will brick a device, no matter how many others haven't had that problem.
Read up on it and if you feel comfortable then do it.
And it is "know not no"

That's what i meant. Several experienced users hard bricked their phones. You no what I mean?
know verb (used with object), knew, known, know·ing.
1. to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty: I know the situation fully.
2. to have established or fixed in the mind or memory: to know a poem by heart; Do you know the way to the park from here?
3. to be cognizant or aware of: I know it.
4. be acquainted with (a thing, place, person, etc.), as by sight, experience, or report: to know the mayor.
5. to understand from experience or attainment (usually followed by how before an infinitive): to know how to make gingerbread.
no
1. (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request)
2. (used to emphasize or introduce a negative statement): Not a single person came to the party, no, not a one.
3. not in any degree or manner; not at all (used with a comparative): He is no better.
4. not a (used before an adjective to convey the opposite of the adjective's meaning): His recovery was no small miracle.

How about this... since you seem to be unable to read and search and learn for yourself, just box up your phone, send it to someone like Gotroot, Koush, or any of the other devs and ask them to do it for you...
OR.... you could bop over to the development section and freaking READ FOR YOURSELF and find out what is available.....
