[Q] Need help rooting FRG83D

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

need help with z4root

Hi guys I just got a droid 1 yesturday right away I wanted to root it. I am coming from having a rooted incredile I know that doesn't matter in this section lol just saying I'm not really new to rooting. I choosed to use z4root to root my D1 but lastnight and this morning I couldn't get it to go any further than trying to get root accses. Debugging is checked and also is unknown sources is checked. What am I doing wrong?

If you updated to 2.2.1 z4 will not work.

Ahh that explains why it doesn't work the phone had 2.2.1 when I got it. Well that's the end of that lol. Is there another one click root?

Not as a phone app. You can use superoneclick to root if you have a windows machine or use the sbf_flash method on linux.

I have windows 7.

I *think* superoneclick should work for you. You can always google it for additional information.

Ok sounds good ill update if I I manage to root it or if I run into any promblems. But I think I should be able to, rooting the incredible I had to download a drive but that's because I wasn't using a mac but I also had to unzip the file browse for it and load it, unrevoke was what I used. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

ok thanks for your help i am now rooted but i am wondering how do you flash roms with the droid? with the incredible you had recovery, i could go into recovery by pressing volume down plus the power button. is there something close to that with the droid? thanks again.

I would recommend going with clockworkmod. There should be plenty of posts around here, and you can always Google.

[Q] How to Root Moto Droid running 2.2.3

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,
ran it (selecting rageinthecage option)
and it succeeded in rooting my phone.
Thank you!

PS: I got v 1.7 here

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

I know I'm kinda late to the party but my brother brought me a Droid and I was finally able to root with unlockroot.com I tried everything else suggested and this finally worked first try. It's funny but I don't remember it ever being that difficult before.

I have an old Droid 1. I would like to root it and assume the 1.7 is what I need. After that where can I find roms. I only could find a thread for the Droid 2.
life is better with root.

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!

[Q] How to root on a Mac?

I've rooted past devices via PC but I'm currently in a Mac only household. Obviously the toolkit doesn't work and I can't find any step by step guides on how to root the One via Mac OS? Can anyone here provide directions that I could follow? Not quite a noob but this will be my first time rooting on a Mac so keep it simple! Thanks in advance to anyone that's willing to help.

I wrote a tutorial
it's in the At&T section but it works regardless of carrier

sure it's not 5.7.906?
several reason for motofail, not to work
try
disabling virus protection, before downloading motofail, and keep disabled till rooting is done.
download http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail_windows.zip
watch this video How to root the Droid 3 with motofail
make sure you right-click on the motofail_windows.zip file, extract the files to a folder on your PC, and click the ‘run.bat’ file from that folder

Figured it out
