Easy Root FRG22 Fix? How to get rooted again

[whatsadroid]

Just want to know if there is a thread I am not having luck finding on how to get rooted again with FRG22 since easy root is not compatible. Any help will be appreciated.

 

[p08757]

There is a different site that I went to that has step by step instructions for 2 different metonds of rooting FRG22.

I just rooted again last night.

PM me and I will send you a link to the other web site.

Edit: I just sent you a PM with a link that may help you out.

Could I get that link too? I have my SU icon in my app drawer doing nothing but collecting proverbial dust.

definitly want to root this week. P08757--- can you PM me--- I joined a bit ago and can't PM yet.

I was curious as to what 2 links you have to root.

I found a method using the search just now that takes me to another forum site. But the link in first post of that thread requires Windows(i have Mac) and it looks tedious.

i have frg 22d.. does it matter what Kernal i have?

Looking at other threads at the moment within the last month also... and looking up universal androot next after writing this...

could you send me what you mentioned? I've never rooted and kinda concerned about it. I want easy but want to do it right and not brick my phone. I will backup using titanium backup first.

Thanks,

You can download easyroot from the web. It costs depending how much you want to donate .99-3.99. Just do a search through google and you can download it straight to your phone. I used it to reroot my phone after trying the 2.2 update for a couple of weeks. One touch rooting is well worth the donation to the developer. I am now running BB v0.4 with launcherpro plus and absolutely love it.

This was before the second update came out. If you have that, I don't know if easyroot will work.

Posted on 9/3/10 from dev's web blog.

"I get a lot of emails about 2.2 support (FRG22D specifically) on the Droid and 2.2 support on the Droid X. As of right now, their are no good options for automated soft roots. I will be putting together a guide in the next few days to help people with their options if they have upgraded to the 2.2 OTA on either of these devices. Your best option will be to SBF flash back to 2.1, root w/ Easy Root, then install ROM Manager and install a non-official ROM and never worry about lossing root again. Again, a new guide for this will be up in a day or two.

Thanks."

As of right now, the dev mentions flashing back to FRG01B 2.2 to apply the soft root process.

No need to sbf all the way back. Just google rooting android regardless of os version and you should hey a link to a thread on droid forums with directions. You'll need a pc and rsdlite but the process us nothing more than flashing sprecovery and running an update.zip

That's what I did. The step by step directions are easy to follow and it worked flawlessly. Im running the official froyo rooted and overclocked to 1.1ghz with one of Chevy's cutstom kernals.

Guys -- Link sent

Here are the instructions cut from other site. I claim no credit for creating this:

Instructions:
*Note 2* - You need to have current Motorola USB drivers depending on your system.

*Note 3* - You need the Android SDK and adb working properly.

*Note 4* – You need to download and unzip this file to your PC. This contains everything needed to root. Link to File ( MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service )

1.) Enable usb debugging on your device if you dont already have it enabled.
2.) Extract Droid2Root.rar to c:\droid2root
3.) Connect your phone to the computer via usb cable
4.) On the computer open the command prompt. (In the start menu under accessories)
5.) cd to your adb tools directory:

For most the command would look like this cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

6.) Now enter the following commands:

adb devices (This should list a device as a long number. If it doesnt something is wrong.)
adb push c:\droid2root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (Be patient here. When finished it will return you to c:\droid2root)
adb devices
adb shell (you should now see a # instead of a $)
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
adb push c:\droid2root\Superuser.apk /system/app
adb push c:\droid2root\su /system/bin
adb push c:\droid2root\busybox /system/bin
adb shell
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
exit

7.) Done! Reboot your phone for good measure. You are now rooted.

Does this work for the Droid1 also? I see the file name is Droid 2/X.

 

[p08757]

Why yes it does. This is what I used.

I've tried everything and I'm trying to reroot my already rooted moto droid 1 running FRG22D. After the FRG22D update it voided or canceled out the root I did before, how can I reroot anyone?

Anyone know if Z4Root does the job? I did same as lynndroid84--had flashed stock 2.2 rom and then OTA thieved my root. I am def looking for one-click and easy.

 

[SolidOrange]

haven't tried Z4, but SoupOrRoot is seriously easy. it took me longer to get my USB chord from my bedroom than it did to root my phone.
