I read that sometimes it takes awhile but that seems a bit to long. Try another method of rooting

First make sure you have Z4root 1.3.0. For me it took about 1 minute to root, but I have heard it taking a lot longer for others. If it does not take the first time (freezes) do a battery pull and try again. Sometimes it takes several attempts, it should work.

Don't worry. Mine took 5 minutes, froze, battery pull, tried again, less than 30 secs and boom!

Same thing happened to me.

So I pulled the. Battery and tried it again. Worked great. But I'm using z4root.1.1.0, do I need to sbf it and re-do it? And can I run gingerbread with this? I'm new to all of this and all the directions for gingerbread confuse me.

In case no one has answered you on this.

Once you are rooted, you now have the ability to install custom ROMs. As the Gingerbread Leak is obviously not an official ROM from Verizon, this would be considered a custom ROM.

It really isn't super challenging to install, it just seems confusing at first.

Below is a generalized set of instructions on installing a new custom ROM.

If you are still confused, here is a link to a youtube video showing you how to install GB on your DX.

Hope this helps.
