I was able to root my Droid 1 with SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse with not problems on the first try.
Version 2.2.1 Build FRG83D
I tried easyroot and z4root and neither worked on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Worked for me too. SuperOneClick then installed Rom Manager from market = good to go
by any chance you know why Superoneclick will not find my device? Ive tried the steps listed below the download page for superoneclick and it still doesnt work...
I'm an idiot, just figured out what I did wrong :/

I'll go ahead and post the solution I found when it was stuck at "waiting for device" when trying to root mine. I had not installed the drivers on my PC for my Motorola A855. As soon as I got the drivers installed, it rooted quickly and easily! I hope that helps someone else searching. There are a ton of "waiting for device" complaints in certain threads, and rarely is it recommended to make sure the drivers are installed!
superoneclickv1.5.5
Used today to root stock D1-running 2.2.1 FRG83D. Downloaded PdaNet then ran root. Took like three times turning debugging off and on but finally completed. Thanks
Yeah downloaded z4root then bought easyroot neither worked. Gonna try super one today and see what happens.

what was the process you guys went through?
I installed the drivers for the phone
Turned USB Debugging OFF
Clicked Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
ran RATC
but then it just locks up and doesn't do anything. I went to turn off USB again and then it just loops.
Any ideas?
I just did it exactly how short fuse says to and it worked great. First time actually.

Working for me like a charm
Thanks a lot. Its working for me. My set is Samsung GT I5801 (Upgraded to froyo for GT I5800 and used Superoneclick).
Just an information for other users that I needed one manual restart after applying Superoneclick to get the root access.

did you try this using option #1?

A newer update with version 5.8.894 has been confirmed to not break root.
However, it is hard coded to only be applicable to a fully stock phone (rooted or non rooted, but cannot have been upgraded on kernel, baseband, system, or Webtop).

as soon as you factory reset phone, you need to turn on debugging then use the r3l3as3droot to root using option 2. This option will not work if you flash a system or downgrade system without wiping data first.

That's great news. If nothing else, that Moto isn't just trolling against people who root, and that maybe keeping root won't be a constant battle. Thanks, Motorola.

Help with rooting 2.3.5
Using megatron root I have followed several different threads to a tee. un-installed all drivers and restarting laptop .updated drivers to most recent tried several different drivers even p920, tried to fully reset the phone through stock 3e recovery full wiped everything. Still getting ADB not recognized as internal or external command. Tried two different downloads of Megatron root. Ive even tried Superoneclick several different versions. I think still the driver is the issue anyone have the drivers that they used? Thanks community for all help
BTW i have searched thoroughly to no avail.

Uninstall all LG drivers plug it into the comp and run the LG update tool and it will se you have no LG drivers. It will give you the option to do them clikk that now you have them. If this doesn't work then go to LG website and search for them there. That's where I got mine.

Did you try to factory reset the phone and root it using megatron or superoneclick?
I had the same issue. Nothing i tried would root. I finally gave up, flashed the v21a kdz, and then gained root on first try. Something about the v20p wouldn't allow me to root. Have you tried flashing another baseband?

Mind sharing where you found it? I'm finding links but not sure which is right. I'd rather just use whatever you used since I know it will work.
uggghhhh. I was just going to use OTA Rootkeeper but ever since I updated to .905 my adb does not work. My phone will not mount to the computer at all, it won't read my SD Card, only charge the phone. So I tried to fix it by flashing a FXZ through RSDLite, because that fixed it last time it happened 6 months ago, and it didn't work. So I'm just going to install the update, and hopefully it will fix my adb. If not, I have no clue how I'm going to root this ******* phone!!! its so frustrating! If anyone knows of a way that I could edit some rooting script to connect through adb wireless, please let me know. I would even be willing to pay someone like ten or fifteen bucks if they could give me a working script to root through adb wireless, or some other way, which I've never heard of.

Please let us know where you found the motofail-ics download that you used. Also, did you just have usb debugging checked or did you need to check other options as well?

motofail ics failed for me
Just hot a replacement bionic in the mail and am about to send back my rooted 2.3.4 running eclipse 3.0. I updated the replacement w 4.0.4 and tried the wonderfully simplified motofail ics, usb debugged (not in mtp mode) it recognized device, started daemon, then stalled out for 20 min....? I unplugged read up some more switched to mtp mode and now it claims its waiting for device to be ready..... i am a unlimited data grandfather who relies on my unlocked wifi tether.... any guidance?!

How did you update to ICS? Over the air update? I ask because if you updated it via FXZ and Fastboot mode with RSD Lite, then what I'm about to suggest is moot. But if you took the OTA update, then it makes more sense.
I'm betting that either your computer doesn't have the right Moto drivers on them, or that you're plugging it into a bad port. They can be finicky.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993
Grab the USB drivers mentioned in step (4).
Then make sure that you're plugging your phone into a USB port on the back of your computer, not an external USB hub. Also don't plug it into USB 3.0. This may not actually be the issue but I accidentally used my USB 3.0 port once to Motofail and it didn't work at all. If you already tried one of the back ports, or are on a laptop, just try another port.
MrChupon is spot on. I had the exact same problem until i went Motorola and grabbed the very latest drivers. Worked like a champ after that.

It was over the air, from a fresh stock VZW replacement. For what ever unknown reason it stalled out once it started daemon..... I pre maturely ejected it, and I think it left the device in a partial state, and when reattempting in my 2.o port it was confused and left me hanging.... so in my sleep i decided to try a factory reset to flush the cache so to say and motofail proved to be a fantastic success! (Using my wifi right now thanks to some sqlite value adjustments! Thanks for the wisdom and words regardless!

Just download and install all parts of House of Bionic and follow the on-screen instructions. In order to un-root you need to choose option 2 then option 2 again. Check out the FAQ if you have trouble with ADB. Read the post very carefully and probably more than once but it is actually very simple.

Thanks Samuri for this script, I have been telling everyone about it. Cheers!
?
does anyone know if the apps that hide the root will work or do I have to completely unroot the phone?
rooting the phone
as you most likely know motofail will root the phone, settings applications unknown sources, development usb debugging i also check leave screen on, then when usb is plugged in make sure charge only, have a good charge also on yer battery, if in 7 right click on motofail run as admin
i also like to have wifi already going and download root checker, this verifies, sometimes, dunno why, when i go to one rom or another i have to use one version of motofail or another version of it, also motooneclick worked for me also,
either way that'll get your phone rooted, i haven't done anything with ics, i did see a version of motofail for rooting ics afterwards
i'm on eclipse 2.2 which i just love, need anything else gimme hollar, skype allen-sec or yahoo allensecz
learning the bionic and this myself, been at it for about a month, learned a lot, just don't have 3g flowing yet,
so if you got that going on yours, hey gimme hollar
sincerely, mrbeav
Bare with please
I asked in a different thread but I got some things answered but not all exactly.
I keep hearing if I want to unroot my Bionic I need to use all the HoB files or FXZ. I will explain why I'm still a little confused.
I used Razrs Edge to root my bionic earlier this week after the OTA ICS update. Worked in like 3 minutes and put safestrap v3.05 on and made a backup of my stock OS. I want to restore and then remove safestrap but I'm confused on how to unroot. Since all the unroot methods seem to be based around HoB or motofail or using the Pete's files (which the links never seem to work)
What i need/want answered is how do I unroot it if I used the Razrs Edge method of rooting? With one of the methods i mentioned above work? If so, which one please and will i just follow the same method?
My reasoning is when/if JB OTA comes out I want to unroot to get it so i figured since I'm involved now, I might as well learn how to unroot it now and get it over with.
Thanks
Eric
