Please help,Thanks
Welcome to forums,
Using search and reading is a must before opening a new thread in the wrong section.
Nobody will do the work for you.
Yes, please read the stickied topics made for noobs. They will help you greatly.
I really can't stand such blatant displays of lazy.
dude you are being seriously lazy, but ill do whatever to get somebody else hooked on synergy rom so here you go lol --> http://infectedrom.com/showthread.php/393-★-☆-★-ROM-JUN-25-SynergyROM-NIGHTLYS-2.3.4-SENSE-3.0-★-☆-★

Still, if you just go to the development section its basically all roms and more than half are gingerbread. but, I remember what it was like before I figured this site out so I don't mind helping out a noob

I mind, because I wrote a thread which says everything I ever wanted to know when I was fresh on the scene. I've ALREADY helped out the noob! It's stickied so they can't miss it! And we still get threads like this...
Ok, So pretty much what I have here is the Droid x2 and I want to root it, BUT, I don't know how and I don't want to screw my phone up, so I'm looking for someone to explain in detail step by step how to do it because then I can do it on my own from there, any help would be great, i'm just looking for a textbook definition and a simple step by step process on how to do this without bricking my phone, again any help with be great thanks.
I think you may find this thread useful, if not have a good look around the Droid Incredible forums as this thread came from there.
I was just looking for someone who could explain how to root and the whole process kinda from scratch because there are hundreds of threads to look through and that's just asking for eye sores.. I'm just looking for someone who can explain how to get the files I need and the whole process in a simple 1,2,3 step manner...
Read the sticky in the dev forum, there's different ways depending on what android version you have.

The stickies are here for a reason

go there.
It says one click root for droid3 but it is same for all moto devices running gingerbread.
just be sure u are on Android version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
U can verify ur android version by going to settings >about phone> android version
if u are on 2.2.2 then press the button on top of about phone that says system updates and follow instructions to update ur phone to gingerbread(2.3.x)
Good luck and make sure to follow ALL directions EXACTLY (feel free to pm me if u need help)
Thanks a lot, I'll take a look at it.
Ok, so I used the one click root and it worked... now im wondering, now that its rooted, What can i do with it, say change the button lay out and other stuff like that the theme, and so on
You can run ROMs on your phone now using boot strap recovery. I use Eclipse but there are other great ROMs available as well. Just make sure you understand what version of android each ROM works with.
Here is a thread to help you understand our recovery.

Do u mean the hardkey layout? I haven't seen a mod for that yet but it may be possible.
U can also now remove/freeze the bloat u don't use if u want((u know...those pesky apps that keep running even after u kill em. Taking up ram and just getting on ur nerves cuz u can't kill it. Like blockbuster, kindle, etc...)) there is a list in the forum of which are safe to freeze/remove.
Just be sure to read before u try. Then read again. Then some more. Then when u feel u r comfortable with what the mod does to ur phone, make sure u follow all directions EXACTLY and have fun and enjoy the different available mods, scripts, hacks, and of course Roms. U will be addicted in no time to flashing roms and making nandroid backups.
O yeah. Best thing u could EVER do right now is MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP using system recovery app from the link above. Trust me. U will be happy u did it when u end up needing one as we all have at one point.
I also recommend posting any question u have in this thread or a thread that pertains to ur question as starting a new thread wit a question that's been asked a hundred times wont get a good reaction
Dude, this is the reason that we have 4 million threads per forum. Read the stickies and make sure that your in the right section before posting something new. Look in the Dev section of the 2 forum for everything you need to know.

Dude this is the reason noobs are afraid to post. No need to be harsh
And I remember not to long ago people were complaining cuz there wasn't enough activity in this forum lol
OP was looking for help. U could have at least posted a link for something to help.
he posted in the CORRECT forum. If this was in the dev section I would have responded similar but it is in GENERAL.

wasnt necessarily trying to be a debbie downer but take a look a the dev forum and you will see threads galore for how to root.
however I did notice that there is no guide on how to root 2.3.4.
Edit: now there is a tutorial for rooting 2.3.4

Noobs shouldn't post. They should read and read more, and when they're done..read it again. Most don't even try. They want it given to them. I, and i only speak for myself, will not support that.

O well...
I find that "noobs' are more or less "afraid" that they will brick and are just looking for info and guidance on how NOT to do that.
But that's the great thing about these types of forums. If u don't wanna help then don't. There is no need to be mean. Im not saying that u or booked were outright mean but if u can see that the OP has already been pointed in the direction and/or is receive help them why post telling him to do everything himself when he obviously doesn't have to. I was a noon my self at one point and yeah I did a TON of reading and rereading but some things don't set in until its said specifically and I have asked my fair share of "noob" questions also. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I don't even know where im going with this other than just be respectful and be nice lol
I creeped these forums (and all others) for a good 6 months before I even laid my first post. I googled everything, and READ! And you know what? I learned a fair amount.
The last month has been horrible. You see the same question/scenario in almost every subforum on here. The problem is, Android exploded as well as "modding" and became popular, and now everybody is tinkering.
I've only been involved with android for a year and a half, but when I got in it was almost a 'niche' cult type of thing. It was kind of uncool because it wasn't an iPhone. I loved it, I actually miss it. I remember showing my friends what a DROID 1 was capable of with a custom overclocked kernel.
Android, why did you get so big? Come back...

sorry for the thread hacking. but yeah me too, android used to be the uncool thing. those were the days.
Whats the difference on them or what I don't get it thanks in advance!!
Eclipse and liberty are just roms that you can flash onto your x2 if you have rooted your phone. If you or someone you know hasn't personally put them on your phone, then you'll have neither. It isn't something that would be on there from the manufacturer.

LMGTFY os the best thing ever
to the OP...
if u are looking for info regarding those roms just check out their op's and also check the stickies here in general and the one by booked in development forum for all info...
you question is kind of vague and frankly the thread title was just very confusing with the wording u chose. I almost felt like english is not ur first language?
if u can clarify ur question and be more specific with it maybe I can answer it somehow...good luck
I believe the OP has flashed a theme intended for liberty/eclipse over his stock GB. He posted this in the Red eclipse/liberty theme thread:

Also posted in my theme for Molten. He installed Molten and I guess tried to install other 2 ROMs too.
No one help him until he READS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/B] threads for modding first. Otherwise, he just takes up space on the forums. I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be asking what rom your on, if you are, go to an iPhone way more user friendly

don't.shove em away tho...
guidance ....xodus's posts were perfect....no need to flame or ignore for being confused...pass on ur own knowledge so it will live forever in the intraweb thingys Hahaha ...
Intrawebs? Haha
I see where your coming from, but I still think that he has had enough guidance and should start reading. I helped him get to sbf today, I was nice. But still. READ
But still, maybe reading first is better than diving blind into modding? Just maybe?

yes sir..u are VERY right.
all I am trying to say is try to NOT be harsh...some things can read harsher than intended when type.
im not trying to say u didn't or that no one is trying to help out.
but it is also inevitable, that people no matter what they have read, will still need that little bit of "extra" info on "what to do now"
especially since our X2 can be picky with what you do or the process you use to do it
I really just said what I did in hope to "preempt" any "mean spirited" replies.
imagine how u would like to be answered when entering a site and following the rules at least to not post questions in dev section and u really don't understand all these : ROM, SBF, OTA, root, p3's, su, busybox, CWM, bootstrap, recovery, stock, modded, etc... words and what they mean.
now im DEFINITELY NOT saying go ahead and write out exactly everything the person needs to do. I am just saying don't be harsh. not that u were. or anyone else in this thread((yet))
just saying a bit of guidance and clarification on things asked is nice to see....basically common courtesy.....
imagine how u felt or I felt or anyone feels entering this "world" of flash addicts who do this every day lol.
((now if this was posted in dev forum as new thread I would call the DAWGS and say have at em for not reading the rules at all Hahaha))(
I am sorry ..this post has gotten longer than intended and I have succumbed to rambling and being off topic. ....
((don't mind the guy sitting on the couch eating leftover turkey/stuffing/ drinking too many beers(celebration ale yum!) ←←he talks to.much )
Lol
I think I.was a bit harsh.
Sorry!
You do tend to ramble on ash haha
But its a good thing, i tend to learn from your posts!

I have a thread that will help show you how to port.

Okay 1) he's made like 3 different threads asking for the same thing. 2) how is anyone supposed to get a wallpaper from a device that has yet to be released. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I'm just saying that its not practical to get a wallpaper from a device that hasn't been released yet. Also that making several threads in different sections is not allowed
we should get doc Emmet Brown to go back to the future and bring in the motorola delorean
Haha Doc! And Marty McFly will root it for us!
