I'm on a droid FRG83D following the step by step instructions on cyanogenmod's wiki.
I only have access to linux if that helps.
When I get to the step when I need to run sbf_flash I get an error:
Segmentation fault
Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance
Bump. Can someone help me root my droid please?
Me too
I was rooted but had to get a replacement and I have tried everything to get my root back and nothing works. Someone please help
Saw a couple of posts over at Droidforums.net that mentioned they used Super One Click available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 . They also updated z4root, so that would probably work as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 . Hope that helps...
Can you tell me if either of those work in linux?
I'm having the same problem. I've tried sbf_flash as listed on the CyanogenMod wiki, but it doesn't seem to work with v. FGR83D. Is there any way to root this droid in Linux? Every Windows app I've tried so far (RSD Lite mainly) fails too. I'd prefer to be able to do it in linux.
Which .sbf are you trying to flash? I JUST rooted via sbf_flash yesterday so I know it works. It is possible the .sbf is screwy.
I have started a thread here to root your Droid, check it out.
Although some say they got it to work, I couldn't get the directions in your thread to work properly on linux. If you are rooting via linux sbf_flash is by far the easiest.... maybe someone should do a quick write up....

Ahh sorry, that was my bad. I forgot the Superoneclick needs a Windows based computer.
Can you get to a PC that runs Windows? The process is very quick and easy, it would not take you long at all.
Soup for root beta it really works

I do not have a Droid 3 yet, But I am considering it. What came to mind was the fact that root is not established yet, as far as I know. This makes me want to take a run at it, they were the best days when I use to work on the hack for Droid X.
But before I start playing around with a new device, I was wondering if anyone has tried this? And also I am wondering what other apps and methods have been attempted?
http://www.techofweb.com/technology/root-android-gingerbread-gingerbreak.html
Gingerbreak tried and failed
Z4Root tried and failed
Superoneclick tried and failed
Doroot tried and failed
that is just what I tried and I am no "pro rooter" like some others.
To my knowledge, no 2.3.4 device has been fully rooted yet (for the exception of the nexus).
I could be wrong, though. Completely, totally wrong.
But nothing out there can get us root. That im sure of.

So...it kinda worked? Maybe that is something to work off of. Sounds like you got farther than anyone else. I would start a thread or something titled "Gingersnap reports successful root on Droid 3" so others can see and maybe expand upon it.

This release has no relationship to the Droid 3 getting root sooner or later unfortunately. This is updating Froyo to Gingerbread (and 2.3.3 at that) and since Froyo was easily rootable, they used a rooted device to pull the update that was OTA and then rooted the update. Rooted devices with custom recoveries (which the froyo based DX2 had) can install unsigned .zip files....so you can install the rooted "update.zip" and have Gingerbread with root.
None of this applies to the Droid 3 because we started at Gingerbread (and 2.3.4 too which is even more difficult to root) and no custom recoveries (because root will have to happen first).
Sounds like fun and challenging!
The Atrix has been rooted from an unrooted/locked state on 2.3.4.

No, this is with the bootloader still locked and 2.3.4 already installed. Here's the full discussion. Second post is the method from the wiki. I already asked if the original creator of the exploit was on the thread and could say whether we would be able to use the same method with the D3.

I'm guessing you meant couldn't say.
What we need is a list of bootloader verisions and exactly what is being installed here with this update. Our bootloader is 0A.03 I don't know what the atrix is.
I also don't know exactly what its being overwritten here... how or how make copys of the things being replaced. *sigh*
any chance we coudl use a program like RDlite or backup our bootloader before we go ahead and write all over it... ?
this is close guys... 2.3.4 has been rooted on its own and now its just a matter of time before it makes it s way to us!

I took a look at the file and it's very possible something similar could be devised for the D3, but we need the SBF file so that the preinstall partition can be pulled from it to use.
The Atrix devs have all of those files and tools available to them already, which is why they were able to create this kind of exploit.
If we had SBFs and an engineering device available to us this would have all been done very quickly on the D3 too. Unfortunately, so far we don't have either.

I have looked around the forums and google searched this for the last hour. I've been trying to root it with SuperOneClick and Pete's Motorola Root Tools and have had no success. The build number is FRK76. My brother updated it and i can't root it anymore. Any help will be accepted.
I am having the same issue. Any rooting options out there for 2.2.3? Someone out there please help out.
Thanks...
Same problem here. It got updated to FRK76, cant find any support to root it.
I found that using Superoneclick v1.7 works when you use the rageagainstthecage method. This was the latest version I found that included this method; it has been removed in later versions.
Root 2.2.3 (FRK76)
I had the same problem:
Current version of SuperOneClick could not root my Droid (2.2.3 FRK76)
Downloaded SuperOneClick 1.7,

and it succeeded in rooting my phone.
Thank you!

I can't vouch for that zip file but yes version 1.7 will get flagged by your virus scanner. I posted in the other thread where I got my version of 1.7 from and the link has a description of why it gets flagged by your virus scanner: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406287&page=2
Root Droid using 2.2.3 with Mac OS X
Can someone point me to step by step instructions on how to root my Droid 1 running 2.2.3 using my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8? I've searched quite a bit so far and have not come across what I need. I have not rooted before, and I'd like some help. Everyone here seems to be the most helpful I've seen on most forums so I figured this would be the place to ask. All assistance is greatly appreciated.
I tried using mono and running SuperOneClick v 1.7 with the rageinthecage option and it failed, also failed using all other exploits in both the 2.3.3 version on SOC and the 1.7 version of SOC.
Each time I try I get "Automatic version checking failed, Is your OS 2.0 or higher?" with options of YES, NO, OR CANCEL. No matter what i choose, the process stops.
Is using mono the problem? I am willing to try anything manually or otherwise, I just need some guidance. Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I've got it taken care of
How did you get it taken care of?
I am officially a sap. I download all excited thinking "hey, maybe wireless will finally work on a wpa2 encrypted network." But of course we should not fix a serious usability issue. Instead lets take away root making it even harder to use the device.
Err.. I simply meant to say, "hey, thanks for the tip on getting superoneclick 1.7 to do the jpb!"
UniversalAndroot is what you looking for.
I was able to use the latest SuperOneClick w/ my Droid @ 2.2.3 and it worked the first time on Win7 64-bit. I don't remember my build number (it seems to have changed since installing CM7), but I got it in January of 2010.
so ive been at this all day reading and searching these forums with no luck.
i have a droid one, running 2.2.3 FRK76, bought the phone used. says it has kernel version 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5. no clue what this is.
have tried to root with superoneclick with rageagainstcage option clicked. also tried the one click some one had posted on this site in one of the forums. Sd card is unmounted. debugg mode is selected. and i cant get past first time it says waiting for device. what do i do? im usign windows xp
First, it's but joined up as mass storage it's it? Also run one chick as admin if you aren't

links for rooting
I am having the same problem. I have been at this for 2 days now trying to root my droid 2.2.3. I tried
psouza4 method
it didnt work. I got the error message:
ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method
Try again from the start, but if the problem continues, check your version
of Gingerbread -- hopefully you don't have a version where this exploit
was fixed.
then I tried to download super one click and I couldnt find the link....
I need help... anyone??
THANKS!

Are you sure the second link in the previous post (same as here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825) didn't work on XP?
Here is my story:
I was running the stock rom,
was rooted using the "one-click" method,
updated via OTA to .893,
and lost root.
So, using the instructions I posted above,
flashed the rom to stock,
rooted,
forever rooted,
then applied the OTA update to .893.
I still have root and am at .893. To be honest, it was pretty painless considering how things can go.
My only caveat is that I did this from Ubuntu Linux, but I would be shocked if WinXP wasn't working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395911
That thread worked great! I had rooted previously, but lost proper root with the OTA update. The zerg method worked and now I have root back.
Now I'm just wondering if that will keep the forever root...If I figure it out, I'll repost here.

Forever root needed afterward. We'll see if everything holds once the 901 update comes out.
i was rooted on 5.8.894 and updated to 5.9.901 and it broke my root so i though no big deal "i'll just reroot". i tried R3l3AS3DRoot, Pete's Motorola Root Tools and manual root method. no dice. can anyone offer any help?

Hey all,
I have been Google'ing trying to figure out how Motofail works. I understand the .bat script, its very similar to how rageagainstthecage worked on the Droid OG:
push the file to /data/local
run the exploit
remount /system as rw
push su, SuperUser.apk, and busybox
remove exploit from /data/local
reboot
What exactly is the motofail exploit doing though? I know with rageagainstthecage it caused a race condition where it filled the process table while the adb server was restarting which caused the setuid in the adb server to fail to switch to user from root.
my question is what is happening when the following commands are run
Code:
adb shell "/data/local/motofail exploit"
adb shell "/data/local/motofail clean"
Thanks in advanced!

Ask Dan rosenburg or what ever his name is I believe it states this on his website
Sent from my XT875 using XDA App
He didn't describe the vulnerability.
It's not very hard to find out the underlaying idea by just running motofail exploit and see what files had been altered.
You need to be _very_ skilled to develop these kind of exploits. But it's funny to see that Guys like Dan will always find a way. Just read his latest blog entry: "OEMs: unlock your bootloaders, you are not going to win this one". Great!
Is this the right site?
Is vulnfactory the right site? I don't see any mention of OEMs and bootloaders on it.

Yes Vulnfactory is the correct site. It has all of Dan's work. Bootloader not unlocked for the bionic so I see no reason to mention it.
If we had a unlocked bootloadwr what exactly would change for us other than possibly over clocked kernals

You could do anything to the phone - replace the recovery, (not bootstrapped, completely replaced) and thus have custom ROMs with custom kernels, pre-rooted, no security checking, nothing to get in the way.
Think OG Droid.
