Just bought this phone and need to root it already just to use titanium backup (which doesn't have non root version apparently). How can I root it?
Gingerbreak will do the job for ya.

Where is it? I don't have gingerbreak ,it came with froyo 2.2.2
Gingerbread will root it for ya. But there's no SBF file so your screwed if something wrong happens. If you want, go ahead, there's a guide some one posted, I think in the Motorola DROID X2 general forum. But im waiting on the SBF file.

I rooted mine, no problems so far. If there are though, it will be a 3 lb paperweight until the sbf file comes out.
This the address you need for gingerbreak its really easy to use just load the apk

I've just froze my bloat so far, I haven't deleted anything yet until there a working SBF. Still, every little bit helps.

The market is telling me my device isn't compatible, but the X2 I had before this one is, im running navendrobs build.prop, might that be why?
EDIT: I switched back to the one I was using before and it's still incompatible

This app is compatible with your Verizon Motorola DROID X2. I'm on Eclipse 2.2
I had to switch to eclipse 2.2 to get it

Is there a one click root for 2.3.3. I was rooted prior to ota gingerbread update with gingerbread and loved it. But phone automatically updated to GB one day when I wasn't paying attention.

Have you even tried to search?

heres the link.......
My DX2 is rooted on 2.2.2 and at least twice a day there's an update thing that pops up in order to update to 1.3.232 and I can either install it now or postpone it. I've been postponing it for a while now. I was just wondering if I try to update it, will the phone be fine. Will my root access just go away and the phone will be updated? Sorry if this question has been asked already. I looked around, but couldn't find anything about it.

Just accept it, what's the worse that can happen? You have to SBF? Doubt it. You'll probably have an unusable SU icon in your drawer, but the 1-click root will fix that up.
Get crazy my man. Accept that update.

Update using P3's rooted GB instead of take that update it will let you keep root
DX2 Update
Yes. Your phone will have Gingerbread installed and the root will go away. But fear not, just follow the instructions here on how to root GB on DX2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234973
Alright. Thanks guys. I'll just try the update

Okay, so I just tried to update it and when it was showing the progress bar it stopped about 1/4 of the way through and then the Android dude had an exclamation point, so basically, it failed

Do you have any system apps frozen and/or deleted? If so, I believe that will stop three ota from downloading.

yeah make sure everything is unfrozen. If you deleted apps you'll have to SBF. Which at that point you could just SBF to GB and avoid the OTA all together.
I did have some apps frozen and I unfroze them and tried again, but yet again, it failed

like they said above... if would be easiest to do the neccessary app backups and just sbf with the p3 gingerbread...
I don't think it will update with root... Just sbf to P3's gingerbread rom and you will be set to go.

Yes, it will update with root but you will then lose root. But all you have to do after that is use the one cluck root method. I would make a nandroid. Backup after that so it will save you time if you start flashing ROMS and need to restore again.
I don't even care about having root access anymore. I just wanna update, but it still fails even after unfreezing all the frozen apps I had:/

You must have a few tiny changes still there that you forgot about. This is what happened to me on my og DROID. Just sbf P3's rooted gingerbread and you will be set. If you need help with sbf there is like 5 threads on it on this forum.
Cheers.

Well, I was just trying to keep it simple you know just hit install and there I go, but I guess not. I even tried deleting all my root apps to see if that would do the trick, but still nope
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah, root sometimes does some tricky stuff with your phone. And it isn't all that complicated to sbf, download the files plug your phone in and click start and your done. Its super easy.
Cheers.

And um I think you can go into your build.prop and change your forward facing android version, so it tricks the phone into thinking it doesn't need to update. That is if you want to stay on froyo, look around on google if you want to go this route.
Cheers.

sbf to 2.3.3
all you need is RSD and the sbf file for 2.3.3, if it doesn't work the first time try it again. sometimes ya gotta try it twice. and if you want to root it once more there is a one click solution for gingerbread.
here's the link for 2.3.3 sbf
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201534
Is the sbf for the RAZR going to be released anytime soon?
I would really like root access to stay playing with this device, but will not proceed until I have a recovery method.

android 2.3.5 sbf is already leaked: more info on this thread
[edit]
sorry, i noticed you need DROID Razr sbf (Verizon USA), non Razr (Europe no brand). No sbf is available
I think you posted on the wrong forum. Motorola is who you want to ask.

Motorola doesn't (officially) release SBFs. They have to be leaked.
DRIP, DRIP!!
