What exactly happens when I root with universal androot? I don't think I'm going to need any ROM's would just be nice to get some of the root exclusive apps. If I don't add any ROM's or anything it isn't risky or anything right.

I understand the whole rooting thing, but i can not find an app that will do my phone. I have the Motorola Droid (original) with the 2.2 update that just come out a couple months ago. I tried the Universal Androot and it said "failed" when I tried to root the phone with it. Then I heard about Easy Root in the market, but searched the market and its not there. Also wanting to do the nandroid backup so I can reinstall my current settings just in case and can not find anything to do that either.....

Universal Androot is one of the newer 1-click methods to rooting a whole lineup of devices and one of them happens to be the Droid X. We had been holding out a little on posting this until there were methods available for creating backups using something like Clockwork Recovery and since Koush just released that option, it was time.
*Note 1* This needs to be done before updating to android 2.2. This method does not currently work on droid x froyo. Instructions *Warning*. Just a reminder that rooting VOIDS your warranty and could potentially do permanent damage to your device. This is not a recommended practice and you do so at your own risk.
1. Download and install Universal Androot to your Droid X: Download Link
2. Open it and tap the Root button.
3. Your phone will now run through a series of commands.
4. When it finishes, it will tell you that you are rooted.
5. Reboot your phone and BAM!Rooted Droid X.

I read that the universal one click root doesn't work if I am already running Froyo. Is there a one click option that I can use?

I've been on the fence forever with rooting my x. Been lurking your forum for awhile now among others. reading up. Just scared i'll mess my phone up and have to buy another. I'm sure you deal with people like me daily. Anyways, I'm going to wait for the official 2.2 to come out, then worry about rooting. My question is, If I would use androot and koush's backup, and only used trustworthy roms that people post on forums like this, with positive feedback. do i really have to worry about bricking my phone?

Z4root The Newest 1-Click Root Solution for Multiple Devices | Android Phone Fans
Universal Eris Root for Dummies! You're not dummies, of course. But if you thought Jcase's spin on the new wag3slav3 rooting method was minimalist, this variation of it should help the fence-sitters and tech-intimidated join the world of Eris root.
- Zero typing!
- No SDK Installs!
- No USB Driver Installs!
- No Command Lines!
- No PC Needed! A Phone-only Rooting method!
Basically this is just a repackaging of the wag3slav3 method (as modified by jcase) into a form which allows you to do everything from the Eris without using a PC, and without any typing - just tap the Eris' screen in all the right places. For experts who are already have successfully set up the SDK and USB drivers, and are comfortable with the command line and adb, it is probably faster to just use the manual method. This method was created for the folks who have had trouble with, or are intimidated by, those things. Or, for those times when you want to help someone root their Eris without schlepping a "dev station" to their location.
Credits:
- Amon_RA for the custom recovery which makes the world go round
- wag3slav3 for the "mid.txt" chmod/symlink rooting exploit
- jcase for exploit code de-obfuscation
- rogro82 for the Gscript Lite tool
- cast of thousands for providing good shoulders to stand upon.
Prerequisites:
- Eris w/ any HTC/VZW release (including 1.5, all leaks V1-V3, & root-ROM)
- Install free Market app Gscript Lite (PinkVenture)
- Install free Market app EStrongs File Explorer
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
- The ROM of your choice downloaded onto your SD card in the root folder.
(T2noob's PlainJaneT2 V2.0 looks good - includes the July 2010 updates.)
I have organized this walk-through as a picture-book in a couple of posts:
0) Announcement ( this post )
1) Setting Things Up with a File Manager
2) Rooting with Gscript Lite
3) Finishing Up
These sections follow below in individual posts. Before you get started, please review this checklist:
1) Did you choose a ROM, download it to your SD card, and check the MD5 signature/file length on the copy of the file on your SD card?
2) Did you install from the market the free apps "Gscript Lite" and "EStrongs File Manager"?
3) Did you download the "gscript.zip" file (link above) using the phone's browser?
::Changelog::
2010.07.20 v0.1 Initial Release
2010.07.21 V0.2 Clean up "mid.txt" symlink at completion of part2
Is there any universal root app (like SuperOneClick) that works for all newer 4.1 devices? I have a no brand tablet I want to root.

I rooted my X10 with Universal Root and then came across X10 Root. Is there a difference between these two and if so should I use the X10 Root and re-root?

I'll be testing it later today and posting my findings.
New Droid X user here.New to Android as well.I see I have a universal inbox in the included Messenging app. This seems to show all of my IMAP e-mail accounts as well as Facebook, etc.However, Gmail seems to require its own app.Not sure I see the point of having a universal inbox if I can't include my Gmail account?Am I missing something?

This information is currently being filtered out across all the relevant boards on the forum at the request of TheUnlockr and one of the Guides. I have no knowledge of the rooting process and suggest that you gather all information available before undertaking any changes to your device.
I hate that the volume control rocker changes both ringer volume and media volume. Is there a method to make a universal volume control? When I listen to podcasts using listen, I hate to have to wait for the podcast to start before I can adjust the media volume.....any suggestions?

I rooted me Droid X. I want to know if I can move the files:
busybox
su
Superuser.apk
To somewhere else other then at /sdcard? If so, where can I put them so everything till works?
Ok, I ran the new beta flash, it appeared to do what it was supposed to do, it got hung up on the clockwork recovery page, but rebooted. Now, how do I tell if I am rooted?

Motorola Droid - Original
1. Rooted 2.1, then
2. OTA Stock Update to 2.2, then
3. Seem to have lost root, However - I still have the Superuser Permissions Icon.
I use Barnacle for WiFi Tether - I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to start the application. I also went into the terminal emulator and tried an "su" which also gave a permission denied response. I tried "sudo" and also got permission denied response. Others have told me this is common with this progression of events. However, How do I now ROOT 2.2 in this scenario?
I just rooted my stock froyo with it! If this has already been discussed.
