All of the 2.1 releases from HTC - including ALL of the leak versions - are rootable with theone-click apk (app), and this is far, far easier to use than the method that Huntredge links to (above).
Same goes for the Universal Root For Dummies method (Androidforums.com) - it will even work on cupcake releases, too.

Explain the steps you took in detail please.
Remember that after running the one click root, you need to do a full reboot once, then power off and hold send + power buttons till you get to bootloader, then (i believe, haven't had my eris in a while) you press vol down, then vol up to get to the custom recovery. Then flash the rootme.zip ( i think thats what its called) to be rooted. Then do a nand backup and flash away!
I don't remember all the steps but i used the one click on mine but I have the actual 2.1. I just did all the same steps for his. I'm gonna try it again later

Hello, is there a root method where it doesn't interfere with the bootloader, so you still get official update, but you can run root apps.

Rooting will not prevent at OTA update. This has been addressed, many times.
So you still get updates

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer!
I'll jump the bridge if i didn't get the Froyo when it's available OTA. Please Help. Thanks.

i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

i'm unable to root it for some reason. tried cmd method as well as superoneclick... don't know what else to do
Hmm what could be the issue? Or if i have to wait, how long to wait for the root to be clickable? I'm a little worn out over these issues, as part of it is my fault as i already have it rooted everything done. But funny thing is when i optimize my phone or try to install the android keyboard (not the default input) it won't reboot. So i went to use another flashtool to try to install it but ended up i face some issues but i got it fixed. Puzzled, are we not allowed to optimize or install custom apks?
You canNot optimize with flashtool (for 2.3) what are you running???
Sent from my Lauda X10a using XDA App
Try flash it again and don't optimize it with flash tool, it breaks xrec and might cause bootloop...

I see. Yeah i followed, but how long will the root button clickable? If not i can't root at all. Another question, what's xrecovery for?
This happened to me as well, you gotta keep trying and it at the right moment. try flashing downgrade, then upgrade and then again downgrade and then try...it takes a few tries. I just rooted my device.
I have the same
is it rooting the 2.3.3 on x10i does not need to unlock the bootloaders 1st??

Alright will try
As I know no one who is looking for a root exploit for the job update I will start. So anyone else searching for it please write me a pm as we can team up.
But I find it really important that this thread isn't messed by people saying that they are needing root rights and have lost them because of the update. Everyone knows that and it's just not helpful. I will appreciate all help full contributions.

Only working on xt912 because of the older smart action version...Looks like they have fixed it that's why we can use it as we have the newer version of smart actions and as it is a systemapp we can't downgrade or change to the needed version because you need root for it...

You surely could there are several in the dev section, however you'll need root first to instal through a custom recovery lol

This approach will sooner give you a root canal than it will give you root. :cyclops:

I had my Droid X2 on 2.3.5 and I wanted to install an JB ROM on it, I read that you can't install a JB ROM on 2.3.5, that it had to be SBF'd back to 2.3.4. Well, I have done that...now my problem is rooting. I can't get it rooted with any program i've tried...MotorolaOneClick/Pete's Tools, Droid 3 Root Script V7, nothing is working. Always fails at step 3 where it tries to addd SU....I have it set to Charge Only on USB, I have USB Debugging on as well. I had it rooted on 2.3.5, so I know the drivers are installed....but I can't get it rooted on 2.3.4
SOLVED!!
It was apparently the computer I was using.....I tried another computer and it didn't do anything at all...I tried a third computer and it rooted on first try!

I believe on 2.3.4 you could have used framaroot. I saw a youtube video about it.

Framaroot works on the Droid X but don't think it works on any system version of the Droid x2
Likely problem was drivers

For the DX2, i don't believe so, I'm sure I tried Framaroot, and it failed, but could be wrong.
I just saw a YouTube video abt it so I really don't know. I do know framaroot, ginger break, z4root, and universal androot won't work for 2.3.5 it sucks because I have no computer.

Yah, don't think nicole knows what she is talking about,
but try it, only takes 2 secs for framaroot to run.
I've already flashed cm10 and I don't have my own PC to sbf back to 2.3.4. But with 2.3.5 it said not vulnerable enough or something like that.
